Already hungry?

pomegranite09 · June 2014

This morning I got up at 3:30 because I was starving. I cooked 2 egg-whites with tomatoes and red peppers, and had a light vanilla yogurt. 4 1/2 hours later I had oatmeal. Had a granola bar and fruit snacks during church (it's a few hours long), then a handful of baked snap peas at home while DH made me lunch, which was whole eggs with red/green peppers, veggies, and a sprinkle of cheese. We took a glorious 3 hour nap after that, and now I feel super hungry again. I'm writing down notes from "What to Expext When You're Expecting" so that I can know what I should be eating, but I'm wondering if anyone else has had this sudden crazy increase in appetite this early. I am about 4 weeks and 5 days along.

Yes yes yes. My increased appetite is actually what provoked me to take a test, I hadn't even missed my period yet. Had the same thing with my last pregnancy-- woke up hungry almost every night for first 3 weeks. I started keeping triscuits on my nightstand so I wouldn't have to get up

I'm 4weeks today, so I'm telling ya, it can happen early!!

AF9211 · June 2014

Yes, when I'm not feeling too nauseous to eat! I feel like a teenage boy lol

I can eat a big meal and ten minutes later feel like I haven't eaten anything

pomegranite09 · June 2014

Okay I'm glad I'm not the only one! I feel like a bottomless pit.

Its 3am and im up bumping and eating a bowl of raisin bran. I woke up starving! Figured better to get up and eat then get sick.

I only wake up in the middle of the night having to pee;) but I do have to eat as soon as I get up for the day.. And I find needing a snack every 3 hours.

snooks721 · June 2014

Yes, my appetite has defintely increased. I thought it was just in my head!

kimb311 · June 2014

Yes ! I don't remember this from my first. But what I do remember and what happened yesterday is the sudden slam of hunger! Like, I NEED TO EAT NOW or I'm going to kill someone.

Yes I get up most mornings at 4 and have a protein bar. I go from very not hungry to starving in a matter of minutes.

Starving!!!

megj2013 · June 2014

I've been eating every 2-3 hours and NEED at least one dessert a day...preferably icecream w/whipped cream

FlowerPower16 · June 2014

Yes! We had a party for our son's 2nd birthday yesterday. I had 3 pieces of pizza and a piece of cake. Not too long after that I was hungry again so I ate a frosted sugar cookie.

Hunger is my main symptom right now, but I'm waiting for the nausea to kick in.

DjinnaG · June 2014

H is already freaking out from the increase in how much I'm eating. After years of handing over the second half of my plate at dinner, I'm taking seconds when he's stuffed from round one. Then wanting dessert half an hour later. And this is with snacking all day long. I make oatmeal for breakfast most days, one cup of dry would give me enough leftovers for a second day, now I'm devouring the whole pot. After having had a prebreakfast of a banana, two slices of whole grain toast, and sometimes an apple.

So, uh, yeah. Hungry all the time only begins to describe the last couple weeks.

I'm so hungry all the time.

brown101 · June 2014

This has been ME since Saturday... My DH even mentioned at lunch 'Geesh... you're already eating for two'! He and I just laughed. But yes, it's been a struggle to not go down stairs to grab more food. I had my lunch an hour early and will be thinking about grabbing more food after my 2 meeting.

Leah283 · June 2014

...and here I thought it was only me...but my insatiable hunger is trumped by the amount of times I get up to urinate!!! I don't remember it being so frequent with my other babies...

RedGiant · June 2014

Yes, I'm almost always hungry. I'm also still nursing DS about twice a day, so I'm "eating for three" I suppose

kerrigrooves · June 2014

HerHighness · June 2014

I just ate an entire box of Annie's organic cheesy shells and I'm not even ashamed, now i want watermelon.

This sounds like pre-pregnant me

But yes, I'm hungrier than normal. I'm trying to keep it under control though, because I gained a lot of weight really quickly when pregnant with DD, and my doctor was all "whoa, slow down" and I was all "lay off me, I'm starving!"

lilrubberduckie · June 2014

So hungry!! I suprise myself because I will just eat and then have hunger pains again. I have never been this way!

Just kicked in for me a few days ago, but I feel like I cannot get enough food. I'm trying to make smarter eating choices but it's such a challenge - I rarely want sweets, but now all I want is chocolate!

Walmart sells dark chocolate-covered pomegranite...so there's a semi-healthy spectrum to the chocolate craving lol

junebugjam · June 2014

My appetite increased pretty quickly with my first pregnancy. One of the reasons I thought I was pregnant this time before testing is I woke up STARVING around 5 am the other day, just like I would before. It's not in your head!

Goldie000 · June 2014

I'm not quite there yet, but nice to know what I have to look forward to

kdhuling · June 2014

Yup. I want to nom every five minutes. As soon as the hunger pains go away I'm hungry again. If I ignore the hunger I just end up feeling sick. I'm barely 4 weeks.
