Awakening the Beast

RebekahA83RebekahA83 member
in 1st Trimester
Hello all! I am 12w1d and happy to have made it this far :) Anyone else dealing with crazy hunger? I start out a little hungry, so I eat something so I won't get nauseated. 5 minutes after eating I'M STARVING! Like I haven't eaten anything at all. It's like I fed the hunger beast a little, and now it wants to eat everything including the kitchen cabinets. Here's to hoping I won't gain 100lb in the next 28 weeks!

    I'm sure we have all felt like this. I have been hungry this entire pregnancy so far for me. Finally I'm starting to not get hungry every 30 minutes like before lol If you are hungry then eat. If you can, eat small portions throughout the day and not just 3 large meals.

    It only gets worse ;) I'm 26 weeks now and could probably eat more than my husband. The doctor said random bursts of hunger means baby is having a growth spurt. I thought that was so cool!

    Growth spurts does sound cool. When we come home from dinner DH asks whether he should even put the leftovers in the fridge since I might eat it all in a few hours. LOL. It's funny watching him watch me in awe because he's double my size XD

    I'm so glad that I'm in good company. This is the furthest I've made it in pregnancy, and I swear it's unlike any hunger I've ever felt. It's like I'm in starvation mode 95% of the time :))

    I'm only 7 weeks and I'm trying not to gain a ton since I was overweight before getting pregnant. Yesterday, I was so hungry that I totally ate breakfast twice. If that keeps up, I'll be buying new pants every month!

    I'm glad I'm not the only one! I get SO HUNGRY! At first I will only be a little hungry so I eat something small, but the. Ten minutes later I am starving! It's crazy. I'm trying hard to eat healthy so when I do eat I don't gain a bunch of weight!

    You need to work on meditations. You're not really hungry; your mind is tricking you. If you give in, you will gain way too much weight. If you can quiet your mind, you will realize you're not really hungry. I gained only 15 pounds and lost it all within two weeks of birth. My baby was perfectly healthy and isn't a fat baby and is very trim and healthy now. 
    It's true. I didn't meditate at all and I gained 50 pounds AND my baby is a fatty.
    LOL - brilliant! I'm not meditating; I'm freakin eating. I can't outsmart my mind anyhow - it's where my brains are, for goodness sake!

    I know the hunger! I lost 15kg the year before getting pregnant, so im no stranger to resisting the "mind hunger" (when u think u are hungry but ur not) but im 15w2d and for the last two weeks the hunger is something else! Within an hour of eating i am starving again, tummy grumbling and everything! The only thing that keeps me full is if i eat pasta or potatoes, which of course im trying not to eat too much of!

    Is that real life?? Lol If my stomach has the hungry feeling and its grumbling, yes, I am hungry. I'm not making it up, my body isn't making it up. I can decipher being hungry and just wanting to eat.
