Hunger

[Tegans Mama]

I am feeling really sick all the time now. But the thing is, I go from feeling so, so sick to really needing food. Right now I am really hungry. So hungry in fact that I am more or less shaking (I get like this a lot when my blood sugar gets low). I know I'm supposed to be earing small meals but I even threw up the plain biscuits I ate earlier, so I can't really eat much unless I get hungry like I am now. Any advice?

yes i had exactly the same, felt sick and didn't want to eat and ate something then threw up. I did trial and error on loads of different foods until i found something i could keep down. would also get the shakes when had low blood sugar levels.
Didn't stop being sick for a while, but found that eating when i least felt like it and didn't feel hungry really helped. I started off on sipping lucozade constantly to keep my blood sugar levels up. and then eventually managed to eat bread and keep it down.

I hope you feel better soon honey xx

Thanks I just had something to eat and now feel a little better.. I actually thought it was coming back up whilst I was still eating I love being pregnant but I don't like this bit lol its so hard to know what to do about it aswell

I feel your pain. I have very few days where food sounds good, the rest of the time nothing sounds good at all. the only thing that I want is Sprite. I love drinking water, but it hasn't tasted very good at all (weird....). I tried to eat dinner last night, but thought I was going to get sick so my husband ate it for me. I was actually force feeding myself to get some food in me. I hope we get past this stage of not liking food because it is miserable. If I even smell food or think of it, I get nausea's. I don't actually get sick, but I think if I did get sick that I would feel better. Good luck to you, hope we survive this phase of pregnancy.

omg cparks1 water tastes really weird for me too... I keep getting it from different tapes and then bottled water and everything! I've settled on holding my nose to drink water the last few days...

fizzy drinks were the best things for me I found! And dry cereal. I really had a horrible time between 6-10 or so weeks but now that I'm being sick a lot less (like once a week maybe and I think recently it's actually been illness induced as opposed to hormone induced!) it all seems like a distant time and where as, at the time, I thought 'there is no way I am ever going through this again' now I'm thinking that I definitely will!

Anyway, what I'm saying is, it always seems awful when you're in the midst of it but just try to think about the fact that it's actually a really good sign and in less than 9 months you'll have baby because of all your sickiness!

bethany that is all I can keep in my head - that the sickness is a very good sign and that baby will be here in another 32 weeks lol. I just can't wait for this to be over
