eating as soon as you wake up

nikinikinine · June 2010

do you do this through your whole pregnancy or is it just something in the first trimester? If I don't eat the second I wake up it's all over in terms of getting sick.

I was hoping to take H out for breakfast this morning but there was no way I could make it

Eating first thing never really helped me. I had m/s regardless. I swear the only thing that helped were Gardetto's. I think it was the garlic in them. I would often eat a pack at work at like 8 am. Klassy.

Have you tried keeping some crackers w/ PB in a baggie on your nightstand and having a few before you even get out of bed at all?

i still have to make a piece of pb/jelly on toast as soon as I wake up or I am done for. In the beginning, I still got sick regardless, but now that the m/s is more controlled, this really works for me. I can then pick up bagel on the way to work and wait until I get there to eat it.

I often feel crappier on the weekends because I sleep in and eat that toast later, that is how much I need it.

Oh well, breakfast out is overrated anyway.

Especially today- it will be overcrowded because of Father's day!

Even when I wasn't pregnant, I usually had to eat first thing in the morning. But it got worse after I got pregnant. I was lucky to never throw up, but I did have awful nausea from weeks 5-9. If I didn't eat the second I got out of bed, it was downhill from there. Fortunately that seems to have gone away starting around weeks 10-12.

I'm like kiki - always have had to eat something within an hour of getting up. Now I have a little bowl of dry cheerios by the bed to eat before i get up so I can shower before figuring out what to eat next.

I've always waited a while. During the week I don't eat until I get to work.

I'm actually the opposite. I find that on the weekends, even though I wake up from the nausea, I am able to go back to sleep and sleep it off. I still wake up nauseous, but not nearly as bad when my alarm goes off at 6 am. Maybe it's work related Cool

for me, as long as i have a glass of water as soon as I wake up, at least now, it's not as bad.

In the beginning, I had no choice. Had to eat the second I woke up.

So far granola bars are a life saver! I hope you can have a piece of toast and still take DH out!

I stopped eating something first thing in the morning around 16 weeks - my m/s let up a good bit that week so I felt more confident it not needing something.

However, this past week I have been right back to needing something before my feet hit the ground.

In the first trimester it was a neccessity, but for the last coulple weeks I've been ok waiting a until after I take a shower to eat.
