Why do I have such a gut starving feeling so early?

[BlessedTwice]

It got really bad last night, and today, on top of feeling nauseted, I have no appetite, everything disgust me, but I have to force myself to eat because my stomach is starving for food!! It growls, & I've got like a terrible hunger/nervous feeling in my stomach even after I eat! It won't go away I can't just keep eating eating eating..Is this normal so early in pregnancy? Should the baby be making me this hungry so early?

I have been hungry non stop for about 2 1/2 weeks now.. am trying to be good and eat plenty of fruit when I am

I have starving since day one! Which when you feel nauseous is horrible but it's just because you're body is doing so much work right now and it takes a lot of energy to make a baby! Don't be surprised if you're tired loads too, even if you've had lots of sleep! I'm bushwhacked!

Hiya I didnt want to read and run but I dont have an answer for you sorry

In fact the eating loads (little and often, very often!) has helped eased a lot of my nausea too! Helps keep your blood sugar levels up, low blood sugar levels make you feel more sick!

I had this bad from week 6-9. It was really bad hunger cramps just below my ribs , it would make me gag and id have to force myself to eat to ease it. It would always come back an hour later though.

Ohh I am unbelievably tired!! I can sleep from 8-9 on weekends(if my kids let me) and still feel sleepy! I may go buy some fruits tonight, thats about the only thing that seems appealing. So glad to hear someone else feels the same way! lol

I'm the same way. It was actually one of the only symptoms I had when finding out I was pg! I've been starving for weeks. I have on/off nausea too and like someone else said it feels better when I graze all day!

Def. hear you on the exhuasted front as well! I am soooo sleepy all day long, esspecially with chasing around a 19 month old! LOL....hope 2nd tri is better for us all!

hey blessedtwice - we are about the same time and I feel exactly like you!! I was shocked it came so early on aswell! I fancy absolutely nothing to eat - have completely gone off chocolate (and I'm a total chocoholic!!) but my stomach feels soooooo hungry too its weird! Am also totally shattered although I am not sleeping so well due to anxiety from my previous mmc's I think! I'm sure our appetite will return to normal soon enough though xx

 

[mislaww]

I've been starving since maybe 5 weeks, non stop. I cannot eat enough. It does help with the nausea, at least!

 

[rae27]

Roll on 2nd tri! I want glow not just be told i look tired!

I totally sympathize with you ladies!

I'm only 4+5 (as far as I know) and I'm feeling hugry as a horse ALL the time. I know it's not in my head because I can hear my tummy grumbling away.

Two hours til dinner for me. Think I'm gonna need a snack to tide me over though!

 

[nicetosmile]

I cannot stop eating as well. I'm about seven to eight weeks. Eating does help the nausea although sometimes it doesn't stay down.

I think this is what I get, I normally get it in the morning whilst Ive been awake for about 15 minutes, and all of a sudden Ill get this horrible empty hungry feeling in my stomach. It makes me feel very sick aswell so I have to eat lol!

When I get this I tend to just eat something dry like crackers, toast or crumpets, and then the feeling goes

i agree ......i'm at nearly 12 weeks and since weeks ago i've gotten hungry every two hrs or something crazy.....so don't worry your fine...

 

[pambolina21]

I never knew that was a symptom....wow.....now I'm starting to wonder if I am pregnant cause this is one more thing to add to the list....I NEVER have a growling stomach....I'm used to not eating for long stretches....skipping breakfast and such.....but the last few weeks my stomach has been growling and cramping cause I'm so hungry...and it basically starts as soon as I wake up......I just wish my pregnany tests matched my symptoms!

 

[hanelei]

hey I'm sure our appetite will return to normal soon enough though xx

Depends what you think of as soon- I've had the same thing (my stomach tells me I'm starving every two hours or more but I can't really think of what I want to eat) for a month now (I'm just over 10 weeks). The energy to build the baby has to come from somewhere, so our bodies tell us to eat ;-) Having nausea at the same time makes it hard to think of what we want to eat though.

My friend tells me she was starving hungry until about 8 months when the baby was taking up so much room that her stomach was squashed and she lost her appetite.

Hunger is one of those classic pregnancy symptoms- I remember a friend who didn't know she was pregnant eating like a horse and saying "I'm always so hungry these days!"

yep starvin every two hours since about 7-8 weeks...I eat healthy, but every 2 hours i'm hungry again...i hope it goes away soon...

 

[dannyboygirl]

I feel you 100% like your starving but cant eat. Or you ate and still feel starved...hmmm its crazy

 

[ayako]

I really felt like that all day today.
I ate and 30 minuets later I was starving all over again!
It was actually making me miserable because I was at school and I had nothing to eat

I think I have to pack a lot of little snacks and eat less big meals. :S
