1st Trimester

Honestly - whose starving?!

So I'm 6 weeks and was totally prepared for nausea and vomitting - wasn't looking forward to it but knew it could happen. What I wasn't expecting was to feel hungry all the time!! I keep reading you should really only gain 4lbs in your first trimester and I'm feeling like a balloon!! I think some of that has to do with bloating but holy cannoli - I'm feeling huge.

  • I just got my BFP this week and DAMN today it really is hitting me... I am super hungry.

  • I'm starving too. Trying to ignore it as I have read at this point you are only supposed to eat 100 calories more than normal. We will see how long my will power last though lol.

  • I've been really hungry too! Trying to stay ahead of it by eating a snack every 2-3 hours.

    I believe women should listen to their bodies. If you are hungry, eat! Just make sure you make healthy choices (not a bunch of junk food).

    I was starving with baby #1. I don't count calories, but I was eating at least 2 extra full-size meals a day. I would guesstimate I was eating an extra 1,000+ calories a day. And I didn't gain a single pound my entire first trimester. My body just knew it needed the energy.

  • I'm always starving the first trimester!  And I always gain 10-12lbs in the first tri also.  The nurse commented on it with my second, but I was at a healthy weight at the start of each of my pregnancies, so I figure whatever.  I'm 10 weeks right now and have gained 5lbs.  But I can't ignore the hunger because it makes me more nauseas to be hungry.  Sometimes at night I do just have to go to bed when I'm having a night where I can't get full.

  • I think eating small meals frequently will help - I just have to remember to pack small healthy snacks for my day! LoL what a problem to have! Better than puking i say!
  • For the last few weeks I've been a hungry, hungry hippo in the morning. Then I struggle to choke down my dinner.

  • I was 6 weeks yesterday and between the hours of 8am and 3pm I was literally a human garbage disposal. I ate more than I normally eat in two days and still felt hungry.  Then after 3pm I barely ate for the rest of the night and only had a tiny bowl of cereal for dinner.

  • I vary between waves of nausea and extreme hunger. I'm just going with the flow. The nausea had me down 7#s but it's back now after all the eating. So at 7 weeks I'm at zero gain. Guess I'll have to wait and see which way the dice rolls this week on how I'm feeling.
  • OMG I'm so hungry. I'm eating small meals every 2 hours and I'm still starving in between. I had DH bring home my favorite sandwich the other day. usually I eat about 3/4 of the small one, well this time I ordered the large and ate the whole thing!

  • I am hungry all the time and if I don't keep eating feel horribly sick. I have gained 5 pounds already at 9 weeks 4 days! This is my second pregnancy and it is such a difference than my first when I was so sick the entire first tri that I actually lost weight and could handle eating much more than bread and crackers.
  • I either have no appetite or i'm starving. Currently, i'm starving. It doesn't help that my BIL just brought over this:
