I have the Hunger!

Well I'm 6+6 and have the most insatiable hunger. If I don't eat every 2 hrs then I have a massive blood sugar crash and feel very sick very quick. I had this with my DS but I don't remember it being so bad. I can't describe how hungry I feel. Please tell me I'm not alone?

Me too. I am 6 +4weeks. I am generally a pie woman though, always on a diet and I honestly don't know if i'm just trying to justify eating Blush. Today i snacked healthily but really got very hungry very quickly. Obviously a healthy pregnancy is the most importNt thing.... But i am a little Envy at those people whose symptoms are to go off food!!

Me too! I'm 9 weeks and this is the only sickness I am getting really (which i find a bit worrying but that's another story). I've found the best way to deal with it is to stuff my face all day long - not good for the weight! Its that kind of, so hungry I feel sick feeling, but only about 20 mins after I've just eaten something - how can I be so hungry?!

Oh god. I was a bloody Hoover. It was all-consuming, soul-destroying hunger. Don't worry, it passes!

So looks like we are in the minority ladies Grin
I only just finished losing my baby weight from the first time round but looks like a might put it back on within the next few weeks the way I'm going!

God yes I remember this!! From about 7-8 weeks.
Awful gut wrenching hunger all the time ugh!
You have my sympathy!

That happened to me too! I had to eat ALL THE TIME from about 6 weeks through to 10 weeks. I'm 11 weeks now and the insatiable hunger has receded (my bum has grown though Sad)...

I had this with ds i just stuffed my face with mostly healthy food - lucky i like it anyway - but from 5 to 7 months i ate donuts and chippy teas/takeaways most days Blush i put on under 2 syone the whole pregnancy and ds was 8lb 12 with a massive placenta so eat away Grin

This time around i could barely eat until 16 weeks and even now at 29 weeks i need to be careful :( sweet things make me feel/be sick so i rarely eat them, i live on pears just now :)

I too have The Hunger! Feel sick if I don't eat around every two hours. Luckily for me, this isn't too dissimilar to my usual eating habits Grin

Am only 5+4, and am waiting nervously for proper morning sickness to kick in. I figure I may aswell enjoy food before I go off it altogether for a few weeks?!

Only really fancying junk food atm, which is not great.
