Hi, so this is my 5th baby! I'm currently 7wks 5 days pregnant and suffering with morning sickness (fab), but it's not like morning sickness that I've had before, with my 4th child I couldn't look at food let alone eat it, yet with this one I have to eat constantly to prevent feeling sick all the time! I'm eating myself out of house and home literally anyone else had this because I'm worried I'm going to be the size of a house.

Hi. I'm exactly the same. It's my 2nd pregnancy but will be my first child. I wasn't like this at all last time and am looking desperately for healthier options but wotsits seem to be what I want most at the moment.

I skipped breakfast yesterday and had to pull the car over to be sick, so I'm thinking eating little and more often and trying to make healthy choices is the lesser of two evils.

I hope you feel better soon!

Exactly the same at six weeks... Had it with my first pregnancy too - yesterday I took a large box of carrot & cucumber sticks to work and dipped them in humous, today I've polished off a punnet of strawberries... and stolen DS babybel as soon as I came in and now, waiting for dinner to cook, I am just picking at the fridge! Trying to avoid the unhealthy stuff too - last time I munched through very expensive M&S tropical friut pots so I'm trying to keep the cost down this time lol.

It's crazy how every pregnancy is so different! When I had it with my last baby I literally couldn't eat a thing until 2pm when it eased down, now I wake up and have that empty feeling so have to eat straight away, then every hour on the hour I get the empty feeling so all I'm doing all day is keeping myself topped up so the nausea stays away! I'm exhausted from eating so much lol.
I had Chinese at 7pm and am now sitting here eating a whole bowl of melon chunks
