Hello :) I am pregnant with my first baby! It is such a surreal and amazing feeling. I'll be 5 weeks pregnant tomorrow :) I've been having constant hunger pains. I eat and eat but can't seem to fill full. Is this normal? Thanks! :) excited to talk to you ladies!

    OMG, i have been having this problem, especially this week. I eat and end up more hungry then when i started.. nothing is safe! I tell myself yes it is normal because your body is working so hard growing a tiny human! this is my first too so i can only assume!

    Oh my goodness! I am also 7 weeks and 1 day!!! Craziness..I have insatiable hunger. I eat,and literally an hour later I am so hungry, I feel like I am going to faint. I try to watch what I am eating, fruits mainly, but veggies also. I go for healthier snacks but sometimes, I just want that bag of chips and ice cream!! Best of luck to you all!

    I'd say it's normal.  I was like that, then the all-day sickness kicked in, and I didn't WANT to eat, but knew I had to.  Felt better a bit afterwards, but then was sick shortly after eating.  It was like if I constantly nibbled it wasn't so bad.  Now I think I'm past the sickness and when I get hungry, I eat.  But if I don't eat, I'll start getting a sick feeling (and irritable).  So I say eat all the things while you can (and you may be lucky to not get morning sickness at all!).

    ETA:  Oh also, now if I wind up over eating I'll feel really bloated and bad, lol I'm finding that pregnancy one day will do one thing, and then the next the opposite.

    I feel the same! I have a growling stomach in the mornings every day and eat a lot more than I usually do. Unfortunately some fast food lately-- holiday travel will do that to you.

    Same here! I literally have eaten almost a whole pumpkin pie today, and am still starving.. Buttery popcorn sounds so good. I keep thinking I'm smelling it. Phantom smells?

    I've been having the same problem!! I'm 6 weeks, and I am constantly eating. I just ate a bowl of soup about a half an hour ago, and now I'm so hungry I'm in PAIN. It's also irritating because I'v been SO nauseous all the time, but I'm hungry simultaneously. I just have to find the moments I'm able and willing to eat and RUN with it!
    A friend of mine is 19 weeks pregnant, and she said this is the main thing she remembers from her first trimester - SO much hunger, and cramping. Eat!!! I'm currently making baked beets and carrots over rice and hummus :)

    I learned that he hard way, too - after the hunger came the nausea, and I had to lean to never let my stomach get empty, and to eat whatever I could manage to get down.

    Normal: drink more water & eat frequent (6 times a day is ideal) small meals packed with protein & fiber:

    A PBJ with a glass of whole milk
    Cheese & whole grain crackers
    Apples with Nutella
    Pretzels dipped in Greek yogurt

    That was probably the worst symptom (besides nausea) that I had during first try. I couldn't sleep sometimes because of the hunger pain!! It gets better, but what I found is getting small things that are easy to eat real fast. Just to satisfy that pain. At least for me it was important so I could go back to sleep!

    It's a BOY

    So weird how symptoms can differ. I'm hungry, but as soon as I start to eat something, I feel sick and can't finish it. :( Lost 5 pounds so far. The ONLY thing that seems to sit well is toast.
