8 weeks pregnant - ravenous!

[LT543]

Hi all, I’m 8 weeks pregnant and feel like I’m already showing (I realise it’s just bloating but my stomach is huge I’m in joggers and leggings only!). The last couple of weeks I’ve had a couple of nauseas days but on the whole as long as I wake up early and eat and keep eating throughout the day I’m OK.

This week I’ve been constantly hungry and constantly eating though. Trying to be healthy but I’m so concerned I’m going to pile the weight on at this rate. I already gained 4 pounds over Christmas, I’m usually quite lean and 8.5 stone so it’s pretty obvious! Any tips??

No tips other than it is only temporary so just do what you can to ride it out! I remember being ravenous around that time, have never felt hunger like it. I also only wanted beige food and would eat several takeaways each week

I think it started improving from 10 weeks so hopefully you’ll notice an improvement soon

I was ravenous between 8 and 12 weeks. I really couldn’t go more than 2 hours without eating.

By lunch I would have had breakfast 1, breakfast 2 and breakfast 3 whereas prior to pregnancy, breakfast was a coffee and maybe a banana and that was it til lunch, with no snacking between meals.

It calmed down at the end of week 13 and I’m back to eating normally with an extra morning & afternoon snack.

Just eat generally healthy stuff, you'll only gain a bit, dont go after fast food etc x i can eat a horse with this pregnancy too... cant stop myself .. so i just cook normal meat veg stuff and eat as much as i want lol 🤣

I was like this it does go away. Cut yourself some slack your growing a person.
I would rather be hungry than feel nauseous all the time!!
