I am 9 weeks and I feel like I'm constantly starving. I've also been periodically nauseous, so I am with you in feeling like healthy foods don't always appeal. I feel like carbs are the only thing that make me feel better!</p> <p>I've felt like this for the last few weeks, and while I feel like I've been eating terribly I haven't actually gained anything. Maybe my body is crying out for pizza? ;) I agree with everyone that it will probably even out! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/hungry-all-the-time-in-early-pregnancy#post-2162420 Thu, 30 Apr 2015 13:23:26 +0000 LulaBee 2162420@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Currently 8 weeks, only eating carbs. Just keeping my fingers crossed I will have the energy to exercise in the next month or so. It takes a lot of energy to make a baby, so eat when you gotta eat! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/hungry-all-the-time-in-early-pregnancy#post-2162407 Thu, 30 Apr 2015 13:19:03 +0000 charlotte 2162407@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>With my first - I was starving all the time and ate a lot. I gained 15 lb by 20 weeks and then only 12 more in the last 20 weeks. I definitely thought I was on track to gain a million pounds but it seems like my body just needed more at the beginning than some people. :happy: </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/hungry-all-the-time-in-early-pregnancy#post-2162400 Thu, 30 Apr 2015 13:16:03 +0000 Alivoo01 2162400@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>All I craved my 1st trimester was carbs. Nothing else sounded good. I did end up gaining 10lbs, but it tapered off once I hit my 2nd trimester so it evened out. Don't worry about it. Eat and enjoy! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/hungry-all-the-time-in-early-pregnancy#post-2162315 Thu, 30 Apr 2015 12:48:06 +0000 birdofafeather 2162315@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>It's only of my only pregnancy symptoms in early pregnancy. I just ate, but tried to spread it out. I am a carbaholic in early pregnancy. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/hungry-all-the-time-in-early-pregnancy#post-2162211 Thu, 30 Apr 2015 12:13:41 +0000 NovBaby1112 2162211@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Oh yes, totally normal! I am hungry all the dang time, like every 2 hours. I wouldn't worry about the weight gain. I've only gained 5 lbs at 18 weeks and I've eaten like a horse. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/hungry-all-the-time-in-early-pregnancy#post-2162210 Thu, 30 Apr 2015 12:12:46 +0000 Mama Bird 2162210@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Totally normal! Just eat, it must be what you need right now! I had this with my first pregnancy because I was a little underweight when I got pregnant, ate non stop (and a lot of carbs/meat) for the first couple of months, and didn't gain a lot of weight anyway. It sure beat being nauseous for weeks! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/hungry-all-the-time-in-early-pregnancy#post-2162206 Thu, 30 Apr 2015 12:11:53 +0000 Keybee 2162206@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I am hungry all the time but also quite nauseous and nothing ever sounds good. A bee rec commended smoothies to me and that has been working out well. I know they are high in sugar, but they've got a lot of good things too. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/hungry-all-the-time-in-early-pregnancy#post-2162199 Thu, 30 Apr 2015 12:07:25 +0000 edelweiss 2162199@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>with my first pregnancy, i ate carbs, carbs and more carbs for most of my first trimester (mostly triscuits and rice...and and cheese). then the hunger/nausea settled down and i could swing a more balanced diet and exercise routine. my weight gain was fine. i say try different things in case there are healthier things that satiate you, but otherwise don't worry too much. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/hungry-all-the-time-in-early-pregnancy#post-2162166 Thu, 30 Apr 2015 11:54:29 +0000 sapphire 2162166@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I needed to eat frequently because I was queasy when my stomach was empty. I didn't gain that much weight first trimester though. I wouldn't worry about it. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/hungry-all-the-time-in-early-pregnancy#post-2162147 Thu, 30 Apr 2015 11:49:27 +0000 BSB 2162147@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I was super hungry early on like before 5 weeks. But then my morning sickness started. :( So I was in that super hungry phase for about 2 weeks. </p> <p>I would say enjoy it because once that morning sickness kicks you might start losing weight. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/hungry-all-the-time-in-early-pregnancy#post-2162144 Thu, 30 Apr 2015 11:49:00 +0000 Greentea 2162144@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I would eat!!!!! I think it is totally important and fine to gain in the first trimester. You have to find a balance you feel ok with- just make sure you eat good things everyday too if you can help it. Eggs and avos, things like that with healthy fats might help you feel satiated. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/hungry-all-the-time-in-early-pregnancy#post-2162117 Thu, 30 Apr 2015 11:42:52 +0000 travellingbee 2162117@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I'm still so early but I am literally starving all the time. It sucks because I am also not in the mood for healthy food. I don't want to gain like 10 lbs in the first trimester but I can't NOT eat. If you had this symptom, what did you do? </p>
