That is normal right? I have a rumbly tummy all the time right now! I just want to eat, and eat, and eat, and eat. I am only just over 4 weeks pg, so v early. I had awful sickness for the last week, but that has stopped and is replaced by extreme tiredness and hunger...

Just checking its all normal as the only thing I remember about last pg in the early stages was horrendous morning sickness!

I knew last week as I have had horrendous morning sickness, before AF was due. DH said it was too early but it felt like I was pg. The signs were there, clear as.

Did two tests, both positive as DH did not beleive the first one! He was hoping for a bit more time practising he said!!

7 weeks since implant was taken out

I used First Response, currently two for one in Boots. Faint line, but definitely a line. DH did not want me to test, but I had a group to run and really needed to take something for the nausea, but could not until I knew either way, so I did the test on Monday, and did the group while fighting the urge to throw up. It was a very speedy session!!! .

DH was not convinced, he said line was too faint. Then in the kitchen were light was better he saw lines on each test clearly!!!

Jimmy - thats the thing though, we weren't! We were not 'trying' so to speak, just having sex when we were in the mood, of course I expect I was more in the mood at certain times, but not trying desperately. That is why DH is so shocked it has happened so quickly . GP said I clearly have nought wrong with my tubes!

Insert - thank you, good to be reassured! I do not recall eating excessively last time, but that was due to morning sickness, I ate little and often so keep it at bay, and I had it from 7 weeks all the way through.

My belly sort of burns with hunger! I have had 2 slices of toast and one crumpet for breakfast (don't usually eat breakfast), a chocolate muffin - leftover kedgeree for lunch (enough for both me and DH), and leftover macaroni cheese (enough for 1). That was about 1 hour ago, and now I want more to eat .

Pav, at least being pg gives you the excuse to eat as much as you want lol.

Good luck.

cyteen · 13/03/2009 14:54

Congratulations I was ravenous pretty much the entire time I was pregnant with DS. Still am now, in fact, and he's 6 months old

Coldtits · 13/03/2009 14:57

pavlov, you're not eating enough protein. Have some scrambled egg, or some ham or something. Or nuts as a snavk.

girlywhirly · 13/03/2009 15:19

I was hungry all the time too, even before morning sickness, in my case just morning nausea as I discovered that eating stopped it!

Once DS was born, lost all interest in food, ate much less. This was good, because I burned off my pregnancy fat making milk, and was back to pre pregnant weight/size in 12 weeks, but with bigger boobs!

I have just had 3 hobnobs, after eating a humungous bowl of fruit salad and yoghurt and DH is making spaghetti bolognaise for dinner, we shall be eating it early with DD i think as I starve.

Coldtits - is mackerel not protein? Or cheese? I had that for my lunch in kedgeree and macaroni cheese...I shall have a snack of a ham sarnie while waiting for tea then...

With my last pg I only put on half a stone, but DD was also small (5lbs), I have heard the rumours that second pgs see bigger women!

Jimmy aw we are not here that weekend. We are going to stay in a yurt for the weekend . I am gutted, really wanted the kids to meet up again. And us get a chance to gas again.

We shall have to make a point of meeting very soon then, with the weather improving we can meet for the kids to run around outside somewhere.
