Hungry ALL the time.
By SarahEMcCormick » Posted Aug. 21, 2015 9:44am - 212 views - 2 comments
At only 7 weeks 5 days, I am finding myself hungry ALL the time. Seriously, it's to the point where I'm becoming concerned about my weight. In the past couple weeks, I've gained 10 lbs because I've been eating 6 meals a day rather than the one meal per day I was eating before I got pregnant, which hardly consisted of anything - but it worked for me, because I (at that time) was hardly ever hungry.
Now, I need to eat every two hours at least - both to maintain not feeling sick (morning sickness), and because my stomach is growling non-stop as a result of the pregnancy.
No matter what I eat, I find myself hungry one - two hours after having eaten. I keep fruit and veggies on hand for snacking, but I am finding I need actual meals to curb the hunger, though small.
Anyone else feeling famished so early on?

 | Comment from Basia30 » Posted Aug. 21, 2015 1:28pm I was the same at that time. I was eating like crazy - now at week 10 it got better :D Honestly I never experience that before - I was just eating and as soon as I stopped I felt hungry Don't worry too much about weight gain. Maybe your body just needed more nutrition and you will lose all that weight when the baby is here :D |
 | Comment from MalPal85 » Posted Aug. 21, 2015 1:10pm I wasn't that way at 7 weeks but made myself have some fruit and a Nutri-Grain bar before lunch at work otherwise I would feel slightly nauseous. Now on the other hand, I want to eat EVERYTHING I see. It's terrible. I'm only up 4lbs but I'm overweight to begin with so it is scary. Just keep snacking! lol |
