Hunger pangs

[Kimberlily]

Hello, I have just joined mumsnet and really hoping there are other ladies on here who are just as hungry as me! There is no warning, one minute I am full and the next I’m ravenous. I’m 8 weeks pregnant. Anyone else feel the same? X

Bless you. I was so sick until 12 weeks I couldn't keep anything down. I lived on rich tea biscuits. You may want to ask for this to be moved to the pregnancy bit as you'll get more replies there. I'll flag it for you x

Thank you, poor you not being able to keep anything down! I just feel constantly nauseous. Who said this pregnancy thing was easy! Thanks for letting me know there is a better place to post xx

We're just moving this over to pregnancy.

I'm 20weeks now so thankfully don't feel nauseous anymore. I am however hungry ALL THE TIME! I just try eat fairly often, usually have a little bit of something as soon as I get up (piece of toast or something) and then something else a bit later (like porridge) and feel that helps. Xx

I do. And it is literally a pang. Like an achey hollow feeling in my chest/stomach, almost a bit like indigestion, and it makes me feel very nauseous until I eat something and seems to come from nowhere!

I’ve been getting this - I can be fine and then all of a sudden it’s like a belly ache and if I don’t get food quick I eventually end up throwing up whatever was in my stomach!
Happened the other day in subway (sadly weren’t quick enough and I had to run to the loo mid order ) not my finest of moments

I hated this in the beginning. The hunger would sometimes come out of nowhere and it was like I'd never eaten in my life. If I didn't eat within a few minutes, I'd feel so sick and quite often, be sick :( it was awful. However, now 38 weeks and can say it's definitely worth it now he's nearly here!

I'm 20 weeks and constantly ravenous too

Jesus yes, it's hideous. I'm much better now at 21 weeks but still, if I let myself get too hungry I'll feel really peculiar (and I get so, so hangry!).

Yep- definitely had this in the first trimester and had to constantly graze. Found rice crackers helped. Felt sick if felt hungry- which was all the time! Put on quite a bit of weight actually so be careful what you do choose to eat - I had a lot of cheesy wotsits! But the good news was that (at least I found in my experince) it does go away. Now at 38 weeks I don't really get very hungry and eat quite tiny portions. It was only the first trimester that I personally was ravenous. All pregnancies are different though!

So good to hear I am not the only one! Thank you for all the responses. Fingers crossed us hungry ladies don’t get food bumps before we get baby bumps!xx

I was exactly like this when pregnant with DS. I'm the end I had to keep cream crackers with me for emergencies. I also got a sweet tooth which I had never had before. I am 6 weeks pregnant with no2 and I am trying to ignore the hunger pangs as I don't want to put on as much weight this time. I am 1 stone heavier than I was before I had DS.
