Getting full sooner

SummerB0607 · May 2014

Anyone else unable to eat as much as they did before pregnancy? I was always a big eater but now I can eat only half of what I used to and that makes me miserably stuffed. But then I'm hungry again an hour later.

I noticed that I cannot eat big meals anymore. However, I graze all day long.... So I am eating just as much, just not all at once like I used to.

I'm there with you too, I think the bloating is really keeping me from eating like I used to. I will have what seems like a normal amount of food and feel so full it's like my stomach is being stretched to the absolute max and it wants to explode.

Yes!!!

Yep. I didn't have this until the end of my pregnancy last time so it seems a bit weird to me. I'll be starving, but know I'll be miserable if I eat as much as I want so I've been pushing for multiple small meals during the day- otherwise I just feel sick.

Add me to the list. It's crazy.

Yes. I attribute it to my uterus moving up and pushing my innards up. Ohhhhh pregnancy.

krgriffin26 · May 2014

Oh me too! I can barely make it through half of what I could pre pregnancy and then my tummy is growling with hunger 2 hours later. Ive noticed I'm even starving in the middle of the night when I get up to pee.

bigmamaT26 · May 2014

Yep, the same with me! Then I find myself waking up twice in the middle of the night to eat again...so sad.

Yes!!! I went from having no appetite at all to being starving all the time!! But when I eat I can only eat half of what I thought I was starving for because I get uncomfortably full!!

Yes, so weird! I thought I'd be eating more now but because of feeling stuffed I'm eating less.

I haven't been able to eat much either! And I get overwhelming hunger pains 2 hours later. It's driving me insane. Especially when I am super tired and want to sleep, but the hunger pains are so bad they keep me awake until I find something to stuff in my face. The only good part about it is instead of eating a large meal and eating small frequent meals, I've lost weight this pregnancy rather than gaining so I guess that's something.

We grilled at my parents yesterday. I got full after potato salad and beans. Didn't even get to eat my burger. Then they had pie..... So I tried to cram that in. I felt like I would blow up after that.

Same here! It started a couple weeks ago, but it's hard to believe my uterus is already taking up that much space!

Mawilliams97 · May 2014

Yup I'm doing this also. if I don't have something in the middle of the night when I wake up next I am so sick because I am starving that I can barely get out of bed. Plus if I eat to much my stomach hurts so bad I can't do anything.

I stuffed my face constantly earlier on in this pregnancy. I was a lucky one without MS. Now as I'm reaching the 2nd tri, I've lost my appetite. I get hungry. And I eat. But nothing sounds or tastes good. Then I'm full after a few bites and hungry again an hour later. Humph.

Totally happening to me too, Everything inside is being pushed upward leaving no room for the good stuff

My mom made lasagna yesterday and I could only choke down a tiny piece a quarter of the size I'd normally have, Then I was starving an hour later!

snarkylibrarian · May 2014

Yep me too! We went out for a brunch buffet with my family yesterday and everyone was amused by how little I could eat at a time. My hubby shared bites of things with me, so I could get a bit of all the good stuff. They were nice and we stayed and visited for a few hours and I was able to get a second round of goodies. I also wake up in the middle of the night feeling sick to my stomach hungry.

Even though it sucks to have a really inefficient eating schedule, I've only put on 1 1/2lbs so far and my regular grazing has kept my nausea in check.
