I'm so hungry...

Where the fuck is this morning sickness everyone keeps talking about, and why won't it hit me??  I'm already fat - I do NOT need this insane appetite :( This is getting ridiculous.  I cannot think about anything but food.  This is the most powerful and intense hunger I've ever felt before and I literally go into a rage if I can't get something to eat.  I went off on C yesterday because I really wanted Indian food for dinner but she was being whiney about it and I got super pissed.

I thought this was supposed to be the time in my pregnancy when I was bent over a toilet and dry heaving.  Not stuffing my face like a hog.

Anyone else feel this way?

  • OMG, it sucks!!!!!  I told my mom that I hoped I'd get morning sickness so I wouldn't gain weight during pregnancy :( I'm not supposed to gain much weight.  But with my appetite the way it is, I could easily gain 10 pounds in a month.

  • I'm right here with ya! One bout of nausea the other night (because I ate too much- I would be sick even if I wasn't pregnant) but otherwise all the hungers, all day long. I feel really crappy about myself and super bloated and disgusting. I was hoping for maybe a little MS weight loss in the beginning :/ because I am the same @wishiwaspreggo- guidelines say I should only have 11-15 lbs weight gain through the whole pregnancy....

  • I could do without carbs, unless they're smothered in cheese sauce or gravy.  I'm jonesing for protein.  Eggs, cheese, chicken, beans, steak, tofu... I want protein in every form available.  I'm trying very hard, though.  Drinking sparkling water helps.

  • @PHNJenna - me, too (11-15 lbs max).  That is going to be very challenging if this keeps up.  And here I have a teeny tiny friend who probably should gain 25-30 pounds but she gets crazy morning sickness and can't keep anything down.

    I wish I could trade symptoms with her!

  • Damnit now I want Indian food >:(

    And I'm starving too, but right after I eat I get a lovely wave of nausea. Luckily it only lasts as long as my tummy is really full. Damned if I do, damned if I don't

    This, exactly. I will blame you @wishiwaspreggo‌ if I end up having Indian food tonight.

  • Samesies.  No nausea, queasiness, nada.  Just hungry all the time, and if I go to long without eating I turn into super bitch.  I have the same reaction now as my toddler when hunger strikes.
  • Oh and we had butter chicken last night for dinner, with herb and cheese kulcha.  Get it tonight!

    I'm experiencing the worst of both...  queasiness, coupled with ravenous hunger and simultaneous bloating.  WTF, body???

    This is me too, except nausea is starting to win & even though I'm hungry nothing sounds or tastes good. The starchy, salty foods that help the nausea are going to pack on the pounds just like with DS.

    OMG this.  It took our waiter at lunch for-ev-er to take our order and I was seriously screaming on the inside I was so starving.  Then I inhaled my blackened shrimp salad and also a peach and blueberry cobbler with ice cream.  Now I look 5 months pregnant from the bloat. lol

    I just finished my lunch and I'M STILL HUNGRY.  I have my afternoon snack in my lunch bag that I'm forcing myself to wait until 4:00 to eat.  I ate my snack with my lunch yesterday and I turned into a monster (which is why I snapped at C for denying me butter chicken, which I WILL have tonight). 

    I'm going to go fill up my water bottle and be miserable for the next 3 hours.

  • Mmmmm butter chicken.
  • Glad to know I'm not the only one! I am overweight so I should not be gaining very much with this pregnancy but I am always hungry. Not nausea at all. I'm trying my hardest to make smart food choices because I am eating so much but it's just sooo hard!

    I'm on my 3rd box of Oreos since conception.
    I'm DOOMED.
  • @wishiwaspreggo you better keep us updated on if you ended up getting Indian, what you ordered, and rate it's deliciousness on a scale of 1-10.  

    Even though I just had Indian yesterday, I want to live vicariously through you.
  • I was thinking about this same topic today too! Zero morning sickness/nausea, but my stomach is growling all day! Right after lunch (and it wasn't exactly small!) I was hungry immediately ... and not in a 'I'm craving something' kind of way. More of a never ending hunger pangs.

    Like some of you, I shouldn't be gaining much weight (I'm pretty overweight :( ).

    The worse part is that even though I was eating well my first week (not skimping on food), I lost 5 lbs (this was at 4wks). I've now gained that all back, as of this morning! :'(

  • Absolutely!!!! I am hungry all day. I eat and my belly is still growling for more food!!!!!! I haven't had any symptoms except sore boobs! I need some healthy snack ideas if I'm gonna be eating all day! LOL!! Let me know if any of you have any idea for healthy snacks!
  • Thanks ToasterCat! I'm going to check it out if I can pull away from the board long enough! You guys are too active today, lol! ;)

    Jluff29, I bring (a portion controlled amount of) nuts, a piece of fruit (or two), a small container of greek yogurt, and a string cheese or two, with me to work. I find that the proteins and healthy fats are good to add in. But it doesn't help much with filling me up, honestly, since I can eat full meals, be SOOOO full, and still be stomach growling hungry 10 mins later!  Also, I love this product called Chia Squeeze (the apple cinnamon is great!!). If you are wanting to try something new, we pick them up at HEB but they also sell them online, I think!
  • I bring healthy snacks to work with me, too, but they don't fill me up :( I unfortunately just suffer through it.  If I ate to the point of satiety with every meal or snack, I would gain way too much weight.  If you're already slender I don't think it's too big of a problem, but weight gain at this point for me would put my (and the baby's) health at risk so I have to keep that in mind before I indulge in my desire to eat.

  • Hate to break it to ya, but morning sickness is not all it's cracked up to be. Feeling like your going to throw up every moment of your life is exhausting! I would take extreme hunger over MS any day!! And no you still gain wait with morning sickness too because if you don't eat every few minutes the nausea gets worse and then you throw up........be careful what you wish for.
  • I have been so hungry, but the bloat this time around has been awful.

  • I have the best of both worlds going on right now. I'm starving AND I want to barf 24/7. It's an interesting combination. I wake up starving, I eat, I'm sick....then I'm starving again, and so on. It's pretty awesome ;)

  • OMG I'm soo hungry all the time too I really want Chinese food right now!
  • I'm sorry, are you wishing morning sickness on yourself?!?! You crazy guuurl!! JK, but for real, I hope everyday that it doesn't come for me. I will not deal well with that. I however do want to eat everything in sight....ugh Its going to be a long 9 months. I just try to keep fruits and veggies handy and dream that they are fried and/or dripping in chocolate :)

    I don't expect MS to be fun, of course.  But I would expect it to curb my ravenous appetite.  I already weigh much, much more than I should.  This sort of appetite may be healthy for a woman with a normal or even overweight BMI - but I fall in the obese category, and I'm terrified of gaining too much weight.
  • I feel you. All i want to do is eat food and right now all i want is greasy pizza.
