the biggest appetite ever today!

jen-dale · July 2009

What's a girl to do? I have read all the books' sections about eating when pg. About the small amount of extra calories your body needs. Small amount. I am starving today. I have been doing nothing but eating. And I think most of this week has been that way. I don't want to be the girl that gains 100 lbs while pregnant because she can't stop stuffing her face. I don't want to sound anorexic either. I am eating plenty of food.

What do you do?

when did you start feeling hungry? I've been making myself eat this week -

I was really hungry for a few days just after the BFP. Then the appetite left me. It seemed that it was every other day nausea and every other day hunger last week. The last few days I have been having weird cravings...cherry koolaid...which I never drink, cupcake, today I wanted to put sun chips on my salad? And the list keeps on going. I want to eat a lot today. I ate almost 1/2 of a medium pizza for lunch. Yikes.

Same thing happened to me today. ?I tried to stuff myself with grapes and watermelon in between meals. ?I never thought I'd make it to dinner time! ?

Let me tell you I went through this at like week 6 too. For 4 days straight. All I wanted was friend food or I felt sick. I just ate. I did not want to jeopordize anything

try to drink a lot of water and snack on healthy things like fruits and veggies - that should help keep weight gain in check while still giving you enough nutrients.

I try to keep "somewhat" healthy snacks at my desk but I have been eating like a mad woman too... My BFF gained 70lbs while pregnant and has been working her butt off to lose it and I'm not as good of a "worker outer Stick out tongue

" as she is so I really need to start reigning myself in.

I eat whenever I'm hungry, just trying to keep cravings in check and eat healthy foods most of the time (no one is good every single day!). For example I totally craved potato chips for a couple of weeks, but I only got them a couple of times. I try to keep the house stocked with healthy snacks so I don't have to think too hard or run out for junk food if I'm hungry. I only gained 2 lbs in first tri so I think I'm doing fine with weight gain.

I have also found that my hunger goes in spurts (maybe growth spurts for baby?) so I just eat as much as I want to for a few extra-hungry days, and then for a few days I'd have a more normal appetite and eat less.

The spurts are so weird. Yesterday I was not nearly as hungry after eating all Friday and Saturday Embarrassed

I did restock all the healthy snacks and veggies with the grocery shopping yesterday. Hope it works!
