Crazy Appetite

Does anyone else feel like they go from nauseous and having to force themselves to eat anything to eating too much of something you are craving? I feel like I can't control my eating at all right now! I'm starving one minute to feeling sick the next. Hopefully this stops by the end of the first trimester!

Re: Crazy Appetite

  • Yeah, I'm that way. For breakfast I can pretty much only stomach cereal at this point. The thought of other stuff makes my stomach turn for some reason, even toast. I sometimes want to go back for seconds sometimes, but stop myself because I know if I do I will be sick. Then by lunch time I have no appetite whatsoever. I will try to eat crackers or something but never much. By dinner time, "morning" sickness has set in and I just don't want anything. People keep telling me to "feed the baby" but how am I suppose to eat adequately when I have no appetite after 10am? I'm already a little overweight...I'm not gonna force myself, ya know? And then I have to lecture that at this point I only need about 300 extra calories per  day and should only gain about 5 lbs in the 1st tri. haha

  • I completely understand!  It's a terrible feeling to lose control of your appetite.  Friends and family seem to think I'm either being unreasonably picky or carelessly self indulgent.  But I simply can't help it either way.  Oi.  Come on second trimester!
  • Yes, it's crazy.  I was so hungry last night that I couldn't wait for DH for dinner, so I snacked, then ate more with him, and felt terrible afterwards.  Of course I woke up starving.

  • My appetite is totally off the charts.  One minute I'm ravenous, the next minute food sounds horrible!  Last night we were discussing what to have for dinner - NOTHING sounded good - so hubby decided to go out for Mexican food.  The whole way there I tried to imagine eating something yummy, nothing looked yummy, not even on the menu.  Then the chips and salsa were set in front of me and I couldn't stop eating them!
