Any food that isn't heated is unappealing... We used to have a salad with dinner almost every night and now I have no desire (even an aversion) to salad! Clearly the extra eating is taking its toll - I gained 4.4 lbs in the last 4 weeks... I'm going to try to eat smaller meals more frequently between now and my next appointment - I'm only 10 1/2 weeks! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-eat-more-or-less-after-you-got-pg#post-538000 Thu, 31 Jan 2013 00:14:47 +0000 JoeysMama 538000@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Way less! I was sick for seven months and lost a lot of weight from it. Once I finally got a normal appetite back, I had horrible indigestion which gave me lots of trouble when eating! Ugh, it was so not fun! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-eat-more-or-less-after-you-got-pg#post-537810 Wed, 30 Jan 2013 21:41:12 +0000 blackbird 537810@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>More often, smaller amounts. It picked up in my third tri but before, it was pretty close to my pre pregnancy amounts </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-eat-more-or-less-after-you-got-pg#post-537686 Wed, 30 Jan 2013 20:30:19 +0000 lemondrop 537686@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Even after I stopped being super nauseous, I could only manage to eat about half of my normal amount. Luckily I had some extra fluff to use up! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-eat-more-or-less-after-you-got-pg#post-537517 Wed, 30 Jan 2013 18:30:52 +0000 Ra 537517@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I eat more often but less quantity, if that makes sense. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-eat-more-or-less-after-you-got-pg#post-537352 Wed, 30 Jan 2013 16:56:17 +0000 Foodnerd81 537352@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>More often, for sure, but I'm not sure if overall I'm eating more or less. Probably a little more. I always needed snacks between meals, though, so it's just become more of a need since being pregnant.<br /> I agree that overeating is much more uncomfortable now. it's hard when something is really yummy and I want to keep eating, but the extreme discomfort is enough to stop me now. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-eat-more-or-less-after-you-got-pg#post-537288 Wed, 30 Jan 2013 16:39:24 +0000 lovehoneybee 537288@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Definitely less. I ate tiny, frequent snacks to keep my stomach from being empty but I had aversions to pretty much everything. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-eat-more-or-less-after-you-got-pg#post-537248 Wed, 30 Jan 2013 16:26:57 +0000 MrsStormy 537248@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I'm very early but I'm pretty hungry all the time, so I eat more for sure, but it does take a bit less to fill me up I think I just get hungry again very quickly. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-eat-more-or-less-after-you-got-pg#post-537196 Wed, 30 Jan 2013 16:10:25 +0000 Bookish 537196@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Definitely more. Eating kept away nausea in first trimester, and although I had about a 3-week break where I wasn't OMG STARVING... at 16 weeks I'm back to hungry all the time :p </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-eat-more-or-less-after-you-got-pg#post-537190 Wed, 30 Jan 2013 16:08:34 +0000 tororojo 537190@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I eat more! Not intentionally, but ever since the mid-second tri I have been ravenously hungry all the time. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-eat-more-or-less-after-you-got-pg#post-537186 Wed, 30 Jan 2013 16:07:50 +0000 winniebee 537186@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I hate like a horse my entire pregnancy. I was constantly starving. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-eat-more-or-less-after-you-got-pg#post-537184 Wed, 30 Jan 2013 16:06:57 +0000 Mrsbells 537184@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>It varied throughout my pregnancy. I ate lots of small snacks during the first trimester but started eating more towards the end of the second tri </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-eat-more-or-less-after-you-got-pg#post-537179 Wed, 30 Jan 2013 16:04:07 +0000 Adira 537179@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Well, I was in a constant state of dieting before so... I definitely eat more now, haha. :P </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-eat-more-or-less-after-you-got-pg#post-537175 Wed, 30 Jan 2013 16:02:37 +0000 duckduckkristen 537175@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I'm pregnant and BFing so I need to eat constantly, even sometimes in the middle of the night. My morning sickness isn't quite as bad this time, so I've been able to stuff my face! Haha. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-eat-more-or-less-after-you-got-pg#post-537172 Wed, 30 Jan 2013 16:02:04 +0000 Alivoo01 537172@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I probably ate more than I really should up until week 10 because I didn't have morning sickness so I wanted to enjoy eating while I could since I heard it can start at any time, even during the second trimester! Starting with week 11, it didn't take much for me to feel full. If I ate past the feeling of full, I got nauseous. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-eat-more-or-less-after-you-got-pg#post-537163 Wed, 30 Jan 2013 15:59:18 +0000 shopaholic 537163@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Less for sure! With nausea and food aversions, I didn't want to each much for most of the pregnancy so far. In the past few months, it's been really uncomfortable to sit and food to go down. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-eat-more-or-less-after-you-got-pg#post-537159 Wed, 30 Jan 2013 15:58:46 +0000 .twist. 537159@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I was pretty starving the whole 1st trimester. I could eat and eat and eat. </p> <p>Now, the last few days I've still been hungry but don't feel like I can eat as much to feel stuffed. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-eat-more-or-less-after-you-got-pg#post-537157 Wed, 30 Jan 2013 15:58:27 +0000 lawbee11 537157@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Same as you! I eat much less because I get full a lot quicker. I just try to eat more often but smaller meals/snacks. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-eat-more-or-less-after-you-got-pg#post-537149 Wed, 30 Jan 2013 15:55:28 +0000 Meridian 537149@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I'm finding that I don't need to eat much to get full these days. And if I even eat a few extra bites of something (cuz it tasted so good!!) I find myself feeling REALLY uncomfortable for hours! It's hard gauging at what point I'll feel full... I thought I would want to eat everything in sight. Luckily I have been blessed with no nausea *knock on wood* </p>
