Why? Why am I so hungry?

Why am I so hungry all the time? I'm 5 wks and I eat and eat and EAT! Its not good that I eat so much... Any advice?

I was constantly starving for the first few weeks. Now I'm just constantly hungry, which is slightly better. I ate and ate because that's what my body needed. Surprisingly, I've only managed to put on 2 1/2 lbs despite eating all the time.

I just felt like it wasn't normal for me to be that hungry. I guess it is though lol. Thanks

Eat now while you can.....I was the same way about a week and a half ago. Now I can barely eat....queasy all day long. Enjoy it while it lasts

Been there, done that! Felt like I hadn't eaten in days, 24/7. It lasted about a week, now I'm back to periods of ick feeling and periods of feeling normal. Someone told me that the insane hunger is just a different manifestation of nausea.

Well it seems to be slowing down and after I eat I have lots of nausea moments. But I have good days and bad days. Today is a bad day. But I'm so thankful to be pregnant that I don't mind.

I had this problem in the first tri, seriously hungry all the time. Up the snacks, make sure you eat filling foods, try and make them as healthy as poss. All I wanted was carby food.

All I can say is it did pass, after about week 12 or so it calmed and I went back to normal appetite.

[shocker]

hehehe im the same at the moment eating constantly its terrible!!

I'm pretty bad. I get really hungry, but it seems to hit around 10 in the morning, and then last until around 5:30. Then I'm not hungry for supper. Makes no sense to me, but I eat when I'm hungry, and it's much better than nausea!

I guess I can now understand my children when they are constantly hungry!!! (growth spurts) .....very similar to a pregnant womans hunger

I've been the same, totally starving all the time! Today is the first day I've actually not been very hungry... Maybe my MS is on its way :/

i always used to feel peckish in the evening but ever since pregnant i don't want anything after dinner. at all other times i'm starving!!

 

[pinktaffy]

im hungry all the time aswell. im just eating when im hungry and will worry about putting on weight wen ive had the baby as i think the baby must need me to eat abit more or i wouldnt be hungry so much.

 

[amazed]

Im not to bad right now.... but with my last pregnancy i ate and never stopped this time im trying to be careful cause i still have so much weight to lose lol....

I'm not hungry all the time, but it takes a lot more food to fill me up compared to b4. I usually can never finish a meal at restaurants. Now, I can finish my meal and some of my boyfriends.

I am also feeling constantly hungry. I think I am having six meals a day at the mo. I can't remember feeling this hungry during my first pregnancy. Everytime I eat, I also get really bloated and look 5 months pregnant. mmmm.

I am loving symtom spotting tho.

I was crazy hungry too from 5-7wks but now I have to force myself to eat. Enjoy + feed your hunger nutritiously while it lasts
