Thread: Starving!

I am hungry, all the time!!! I am really trying to avoid gaining alot his pg, since I am overweight, but I just could eat all day!

and is it possible to have cravings yet? I swear things I normally wouldnt eat are looking so so good to me!

I am soooo hungry all the time too and yes it is possible to have cravings now. In the beginning I loved anything with pickles, but now I can't stand the sight of them. I am so craving fruit now. I had never had so much fruit in my house than I do now. I cannot get enough of it. Sadly, I have already gained 6 lbs and I literally gained it over just a couple of days. I'm hoping it slows down.. My doctor doesn't seem to be concerned about it though.

I am hungry all the time as well. Stomach hurts hungry trying to eat healthy stuff but not always easy lol I got on the scales at the midwife and did not look and don't want to know I amin denial lol

Humph! Im not hungry hardly EVER! I wish I could eat but I dont have a taste for anything. And when I try to force myself to eat I dont get too far without my stomach bothering me. U ladies STINK! lol

somedays i'm so hungry i could eat the furniture. other days, i'm not hungry at all and have to remind myself to eat.
i was just htinking the other day how pregnancy kinda turns you into a raving lunatic. you can't make up your mind about anything and if you do manage to make a decision, you forget what it was 5 minutes later. you'll explode with either a temper or tears or both for no reason at all. you'll crave food combinations you didn't even know existed, and you're so tired all the time that you're basically a moving bag of bones.
i can't wait until i'm no longer a hormonal mess.

Then after the baby is born you'll be a sleep deprived human zombie... and the first couple weeks after birth are REAL fun because you get to be a hormonal mess AND sleep deprived.

I'm about "normal" amounts hungry. Which is good. I gained 65lbs with DD1 and lost 38lbs. With DD 2 I gained 24 lbs and lost about 10 after all was said and done before I got pregnant with this baby. I haven't gained anything yet, so that's good. I ALWAYS crave stuff early. Me and my husband joke that it's awesome because we never have to debate what/where to eat because I always have a craving. For about a week though I've had a head cold and it's making everything off so I haven't craved anything/wanted to eat much.

you have a point. i may have to rethink my "get out of hormonal rage free" card.

I have days where I am starving and then days where nothing sounds good. Today I was starving and ate a ton of pizza.

I am in the hungry all the time category, but if I eat very much my tummy hurts and I regret it. I just want junk food though or heavy starchy stuff. With my boys I wanted all fruit so hoping that means it is a girl this time. And, yep totally with you on the eating the furniture comment. If someone mentions something or I see an ad for it...I WANT IT!

I finally have an appetite and boy do I! Last week I couldn't get enough of french onion dip and Ruffles. I ate them for dinner every night. Now I can't stand the thought of it. I've been eating chicken strips this week like crazy. Who knows what next week will bring! Pretty crazy
