Hiya everyone,

Last week I found out I was pregnant, making me 5/6 weeks. For over a week now I haven’t been feeling myself, but I thought that was my period until it never came.

So, really, the main subject is Ive become a foodaholic!!! I’m not a massive eater, Im more of a day grazer and have a better lunch than dinner, but I haven’t been able to stop eating. I see food, I have to eat it. All I can think about is eating. I’ve never been a breakfast person but now I wake up and I can’t wait to eat. It’s only getting worse. I’ve put on 7lbs In a week. So i was thinking I’m only feeling like this because I know I’m pregnant, but it was because of this I bought a pregnancy test. Im horrendously bloated. I’ve had a horrid headache at least every day for the last week and tea had become the most amazing thing I have ever tasted. I was pregnant before but unfortunately didn’t go full term and I don’t remember it being anything like this at all. I don’t feel sick or anything, apart from when I eat too much, of which I keep doing!! Also extremely unlike me!! I eat till I can’t physcially swollow anything else!! I just have to eat other wise I get so irritated and am not able to concerntrate.

I haven’t told anyone I’m pregnant and so trying to hide my ridiculous eating is becoming impossible. My work colleagues are making jokes that I’m pregnant because of my dramatic increase in eating and for suddenly not able to concerntrate.

I am normally a size 8 but for 2 days or so I haven’t been able to fit into anything that isn’t a 10 or above!! This isn’t like me at all!

Why can’t I stop eating? Is this actually even related to me being pregnant or am I just over thinking it? Also TMI I can’t go to the loo loo... so im just eating tons and nothing is going anywhere?! Is it normal for things to happen this early on?

Any answers will be appreciated dearly!!

Most people I know crave carbs in the early days which means you are eating a lot of stodge. This will inevitably give you constipation and bloat your stomach and add pounds to your weight. It is doubtful that all of the 7 lbs is fat.
Cut up a load of fruit and veg and buy some nuts and seeds to graze on and drink lots of water to stop the constipation.
How you are feeling is totally normal.
