Urgent need to eat every 2 hrs

Hi all, i’m 9 weeks this week and I’m shocked by my body’s need to eat practically every 2 hours or I can’t function and my nausea gets out of control. I used to just eat twice or three times a day. Now I have to eat something 6-7 times a day. Please tell me similar to the exhaustion and nausea this comes to an end too in the first trimester.

  • I have noticed that I get really hungry more frequently too!

    I'm 13 weeks now and I still get pretty hungry every 2-3 hours but not as bad as before where I would get nauseous if I didn't eat. But I've been told eating small meals more frequently during the day is better than 2-3 large meals.

  • I’m at every three hours. I feel like all I do is eat
  • Same!!  As soon as I hit that two hour mark I would start feeling queasy and by three hours I would be feeling sick if I didn’t eat 😳 I ate a ridiculous amount of food between 6 and 12 weeks haha but honestly it helped the nausea so much! And let up around 12 weeks! I can go much longer now without a problem. 
  • It may not come to an end till prob the third trimester. I was the same. I just try to throw healthy snacks in there. You're growing a human so get that nutrition girly. Six small meals a day is more ideal anyway.
