I just wanna eat! :(
By stephc2010 » Posted Sep. 30, 2015 5:14pm - 234 views - 7 comments

I'm not throwing up, but I have been nauseous on and off since about 6 weeks or so. I have good days and bad days, and today has been a bad day... Nothing sounds good (except Chinese food and a hot chocolate...). I am having to force myself to eat. Food doesn't taste the same... I just wanna cry! At least my husband is taking me for hot chocolate later while we walk around the mall. I tried to convince him to get Chinese for dinner, but he said he wants Chick-Fil-A. Which doesn't sound appealing to me at all. :'( I really never knew it was possible to be hungry and nauseous at the same time. I know the end result will be totally worth it, but right now it sucks. Hopefully this goes away in a few weeks. I know a lot of women have it way worse than me and I feel like such a baby for complaining...

	Comment from stephc2010 » Posted Oct. 1, 2015 4:58pm Thanks ladies. Glad to know I wasn't alone in this! Yesterday was miserable. Today has been a better day. I was nauseous when I first woke up, but forced myself to eat and felt better throughout the day. I finally got the Chinese food I was craving and it was SO good! Also had hot chocolate last night (and I'll probably make some at home tonight). I'm thinking we're having soup and sandwiches for dinner. I'm enjoying all the rain we've been getting in Maryland. :)
	Comment from pbc910 » Posted Oct. 1, 2015 9:22am That was me around that time too. I was so hungry I would cry but yet nothing looked good or I would want something like Korean food (random but good) and I'd have like one bit and be full. I only dealt with this for a few weeks but I can't say I had a major appetite until after 20 weeks.
	Comment from MalPal85 » Posted Oct. 1, 2015 8:40am I was the same way at that time. It was damn near impossible for us to decide on dinner every night because absolutely nothing sounded good!
	Comment from Amanda_McDaniel » Posted Sep. 30, 2015 7:56pm I went through the same thing this pregnancy. I ended up gaining weight pretty quickly because all I could stomach, after being on an all organic lifestyle, was sugar cookies and fizzy soda (helped with the nausea). Good luck.
	Comment from stephc2010 » Posted Sep. 30, 2015 6:16pm M.gulud: I can't stand grocery shopping right now either! :( It seems like it's a waste of time because so few things sound good right now... Libelula: Pasta sounds SO good right now. I've always loved pasta. I'm basically living off of cereal, soup and crackers. I tried to make breakfast this morning, eggs, toast and oatmeal. I was able to eat most of it, but felt sick towards the end. That's basically the only thing I ate today, minus an orange for a snack and half of a lemon... :( I really want soup right now. My mood changes so quickly! :(
	Comment from Libelula264 » Posted Sep. 30, 2015 6:01pm I am in a basically identical boat. I have to eat every 1-2 hours or I feel like I'm going to hurl, and the only thing that truly sounds and tastes good is pasta or mac 'n' cheese. Although now that you mention it, chinese food sounds good too...
	Comment from M.gulud » Posted Sep. 30, 2015 5:37pm I promise that I felt that same way. I'm still like that in the evenings. And grocery shopping, forget it. I would love to get steak or something, but I can't stand the raw smell or thought of cooking it. Convenience meals are helping. We will get through this.
