Okay, so for any of you who missed my post the other day...I'm 8 weeks preggers!
So, my question is...do any of you who are pregnant (or remember when you were pregnant) have an insatiable appetite? I seriously can NOT stop eating! OMG! It's awful. I have been eating like a man...like a freakin' cow...it's awful. I am hungry all the time. For a couple of weeks, I ate to ward of nausea because I was nauseous from morning till night and eating is the only thing would make it go away. Now, the nausea just comes and goes, but I am still hungry ALL the time. This really concerns me because I always gain way too much during my pregnancies (40 with Haley, 50 with Caleb) so I'm paranoid that I'll gain 60 this time.
Please tell me this tapers off after the 1st trimester. I just can't remember feeling THIS hungry with my other pregnancies. Obviously, I ate too much then too, but this is ridiculous! Within an hour of eating, I'm ready for another meal!
Re: Insatiable Appetite while Pregnant?
I never had that but make sure when you're eating you eat some protein with whatever it is. And have small meals - cheese & crackers, yogurt, Apple w/ peanut butter, etc - the protein will help keep you satisfied for longer.
This! And, try not to stress too much about the weight gain - you are a beautiful lady = )
