Since around 7 weeks I have felt like my stomach is constantly empty and it's become a bit of a bottomless pit, as I will eat a meal and my stomach will feel empty an hour or 2 later. If my stomach gets too empty I get bad nausea and sometimes some dry heaving to go with it! So I feel I need to eat something every couple of hours to stop the nausea from getting too bad.
This week I have been having a bowl of porridge in the mornings around 7.30am, another breakfast (a blueberry muffin, bacon sandwich, cheese & ham toastie) when I get to work at 9.30am, then a snack at around 11.30am ish which has been either a cereal bar, pack of low fat crisps, a small piece of cake or fruit. I then have my lunch between 12.30-1pm (either a baguette, a wrap, a sandwich or a brown rice salad). I have another snack around 3pm, then another snack before I leave work at 5.30pm and my dinner at around 7.30pm and sometimes another snack before bed at 9.30pm.
But I just don't feel like the snacks are filling me up and I get really nauseous around mid-late morning and when in travelling home on the train after work. Instead I feel like I need to eat a proper meal like a sandwich or something similar which is quite substantial and will fill me up.
The problem is I work in an open plan office and have 3 mums who sit either next to or opposite me. At the moment I feel like I can get away with eating a cereal bar, pack of crisps or fruit throughout the day but think it would be sooooo obvious if I started eating a sandwich every few hours!
Does anyone have any food suggestions which would fill me up and won't look too obvious?
Or ideas on how to get around eating a sandwich every few hours without people noticing?
I just find it such a weird feeling eating a meal only for my stomach to feel empty an hour later! Please tell me it goes away eventually otherwise I am going to gain so much weight in this pregnancy!
