Am 27 wks pg with dc2. Up until about 3 weeks ago I was suffering from hyperemesis, when it felt like I had two stomachs. One saying "Eat, goddamnit!" and another saying "Don't you dare, I'll just throw it back up if you so much as sniff that pie"

But now the "Eat, goddamnit!" stomach is the only one I can hear but it doesn't know what it wants Nothing I gobble down is right! It's not so much a hunger thing I don't think, more of a satisfaction thing for my tastebuds and tummy. So if I'm physically full up, of say a nice egg salad sarnie like this lunch time (3 pieces of bread 2 eggs cucumber tomato mayo) then an apple and a satsuma, all of which was lovely- why is my mouth still wanting something else? And what could I possibly give it? (apart from the raw beef mince that I'm craving but not giving in to!) I don't want to wolf down everything in sight to try and find something that the monster within wants because from experience when pg with ds and also earlier in this pregnancy, if I'm overfull I'll just throw up and it won't stop once my tum is empty.

Oh woe is me, anyone else like this? Beholden to an indecisive stomach creature?

I dind't fancy anything unless it was off limits when I was pregnant. I just ate cos I needed to.

For someone who loves food as much as I do it was horrible!

No matter how full I was I always had room for one of two things:

Salt and vinegar crisps
Haribo Starmix

Blurgh.

My indecisive stomach creature is tamed only by foodstuffs such as- twix, ice cream avec coconut, parmesan cheese. Very specific yet random.
... in the second trimester i could be found prowling the aisles of tesco staring blankly at the shelves, waiting for something to leap out at me... mushroom stroganoff worked for about 10 minutes then made me feel green around the gills. Now (at 39 weeks), stomach knows exactly what it wants, when it wants it and in what quantity (ie muchness).

My main cravings have been, Triffle and cheese puffs, but otherwise have eaten very healthy.

The only worrying thing was that I started to love the smell of 'winalot dog food in gravey'. Boak. I think it was the anemia.

21+3 here and have the same problem. I just try to do the best with it. My doc agrees.
