1st Trimester

Can't stop eating

I seriously am hungry all the time and I'm only 4 weeks along.

Before I was pregnant I seriously ate very little. I just didn't have much of an appetite. But now I feel like I need to eat all the time.

Anyone else?

Re: Can't stop eating

  • This is my first pregnancy and I'm about 4 weeks along as well and I'm always hungry! I'm wondering if it's normal because I'm not even that far along.

  • It depends on the day. Seems like it happens to me 1 or 2 times a week. Then I have days with very little appetite.



  • I am right there with you.  I'm 4 weeks and i barely had an appetite and now I'm like hungry all the time.  I took a bunch of fruit to work with me for my snacks, so I'm choosing something healthy, but I could go all day with only a small lunch and be fine. but i felt nauseous right when i woke up so i had to eat breakfast,  i had a salad for lunch and a big dinner.  This is my second and I already feel different.
  • Your not alone all I do is eat. I have tried to eat a lot better though. Today I really wanted Krispy Kreme donuts which I don't generally eat because of how sweet they are.

  • It's okay to be hungry...I seem to be waking up in the middle of the night starving!  I didn't have that symptom with my first, but every pregnancy's different!
  • I was a bottomless pit with my first. Full after a few bites with my second. Try to be reasonable...it's a bitch to come off.
  • Apparently both of my pregnancies are going the same way too.. There's one month (just went through it) where I can't eat enough and gain more weight than I should. It happens to be right after I go through my morning sickness / nausea phase and then it's like my body wants to play catch up. It'll settle down, just try to throw in healthy options for snacks like apples because they're filling.
  • This was me at the beginning, until about 6 or 7 weeks.
