Hungry all the time!

Hi All, I'm currently 8 weeks along and I'm constantly hungry, especially in the afternoons and evenings. I know they say you don't need to eat anything extra in the first trimester, but when I don't eat I feel starving and sick. Has anyone else experienced this? Thanks

Re: Hungry all the time!

  • I am a bottomless pit. It seems impossible for me to pack enough food to keep me satiated through the day. 7w3d. You're definitely not alone.

  • I am the same. I want to eat everything that is not nailed down.
  • Yes, I feel like I'm starving if I go 2 hrs without eating. I've been carrying granola bars with me to work and when I'm home I will spread out meals into snacks every two hours.
  • Yep. I'm only 5 weeks and I feel absolutely ridiculous having these hunger pangs right now!!

  • I've recently figured out that the ONLY thing that makes me feel better is eating.
    I'm learning to eat a few bites every 30 minutes. Which is weird because my food starts out hot and yummy...by the time I'm finished eating it, it's 4 hours later and totally cold.

    7w3d's here and I just noticed the hunger this week and tacked on the bloatedness. I try to not eat big meals but lots of eating out this week due to work stuff. Ready to get back to routine of smaller meals and healthy snacks! Worried about the weight gain!
  • My appetite went way up, but I haven't gained weight (in fact I'm around 1lb down) so I guess my body's using it for something! I've been trying not to worry about it; I feel faint if I don't eat for too long, and I really don't want that happening while I'm pregnant.

  • This hunger is unlike anything I've experienced before! I'm like a rabid wildebeest! I don't eat much more per meal than normal, but I am definitely hungrier in between meals. Snack city! It's all going straight to the boobs.
  • I had the same thing happen with my ds and now with my second I think k it has something to do with not eating enough before I got prego now my body is demanding g calories for lo and Making me eat enough I'm eating Constantly and have lost 6lb I'm also rediculisly thirsty

  • The hunger isn't slowing down for me at all- started at 5 weeks and still going strong at 8. Thanks goodness I haven't gained any weight from my ridiculous eating (seriously though, where is the food going?), but needing to get up to eat snacks at midnight and 5am is getting old!
  • I think about food all the time Pinterest and Facebook are killing me. But then when I go to eat the piles of food I think I want I'm full after a couple bites. It's annoying because not a half hour later I think I am hungry yet again.

  • Every two hours I'm hungry, waking up at 4 feeling like I haven't eaten in days! This is crazy!
