  I was super hungry all the time at the beginning.  It seems to have slowed down, but maybe I'm just used to eating every hour- 2 hours now.  Everything all of a sudden seems the norm instead of different.  As soon as I wake up I have to start making my eggs.  If I wait and get online I get super nauseous.

  Even though I feel pretty nauseous most of the time, I am hungry ALL the time. This is my second pregnancy and with my first I didn't feel like this until well into my second trimester. I was definitely shocked to be hungry so much now since I could barely stomach anything with my first.

  Unfortunately, even though I'm always hungry very few things sound appetizing so I often wander around the kitchen opening and closing the pantry and refrigerator over and over until I force myself to eat something that doesn't make me want to gag.

  Uh, yea.  It started right away with me..like 5 weeks.  I take Synthroid for hypothroidism and I set my alarm for 5:30 so I can take it an hour before I eat as directed.  I normally wake at 6:30..this way i can get up and eat right away.  Its constant.  Hunger.  Always.  My go to items that i can always eat is Fruity Pebbles and English Muffins.

  I'm starving ALL THE TIME now! It kicked in at 9 weeks and each week as gotten worse and worse! I woke up 3-4 times last night starving. Like, literally awoken from sleep because my stomach was screaming "FEED ME"! Then during the day I get hungry about every 2 hours. I didn't think that was supposed to kick in until your baby was actually big enough to need food. I'm only 11 weeks right now! What gives?!

  Anyone else "eating for 2" already???

  Yeah, your body is using a lot of energy building a baby so your metabolism is prob going crazy   I'm hungry all the time too.  FYI - if you bfeed you are still hungry all the time so I feel like I'm eating for 3, lol.

  Oh dear god yes. I can't help myself. But I'm trying to control it! Obviously the baby does not need all the food I desire to eat!! lol!

  This is me exactly!  DH went grocery shopping for me over the weekend and I still stand there for a good 10 minutes and try and figure out what item I want to throw up next.  All of my favorite foods are starting to get ruined....

  I've been starving since week 5. Some days are worse than others. Today is definitely a worse day. I feel like a bottomless pit. For lunch I had 5 slices of pizza, was still hungry, ate 3/4 of a sleeve of ritz crackers with cream cheese, and was still hungry, had 2 bananas, and some fruit snacks before I finally felt like it was getting under control. I've been like a bottomless pit all day! Eating for 2 sometimes feels like an understatement, sometimes it feels more like eating for 10!

  Now, THIS makes me feel better cause this is exactly how I feel today! I feel like I'm eating every frickin' hour and yet I've hardly felt satisfied all day! SO FRUSTRATING! I pretty much hate food at this point!

  I'm 9 1/2 weeks, and to help my stomach ache/queasiness (not nausea, though), I eat and eat often. I'm not waking up at night because of it, but I'm hungry all day long. My mom told me that's how she was, but she just ate her normal amount plus a little bit more. I was underweight before getting pregnant, so I've gained 5 pounds so far and am feeling good about it.

  This will sound crazy, but I am sooo looking forward to going to a buffet. I've never been able to eat much at one sitting, so I never get my money out of buffets. I can't wait for it!!

  And there's another night where I woke up 4 frickin times starving. So now today I am cranky and starving! I cannot believe this is normal. It was like once I hit 10 weeks this just kicked in full force. I'm sooo sick of food! I don't WANT to eat anymore but if I try to ignore it, I just get nauseous!! When is this going to end?!?! If I had to deal with this thru the rest of pregnancy I'd go nuts!
