I had a similar problem, I spoke with my doctor about it and she suggested I eat several small meals throughout the day and to stay away from sugars and carbohydrates. If you do eat carbs, always have them with protein. ↑
well im not 100% sure if i am pregnant or not but for the past couple weeks i have been getting hungry real quickly like ill eat and like and little while later i am completely hungry but i have several friends that have been pregnant and said the same things have happed to them. ↑
I feel for you. I am 10 weeks and have been feeling hungry and nauseas since 6 weeks. I am counting down the days to 12 weeks and hope that I feel better then.
I have been turned off so many foods.
Because I haven't been able to eat veggies, I have been stocking up on fruit. I can eat gourmet veg pizza, but apart from that, I just eat dairy or sweet stuff. I tried grating fresh ginger into juice or cordial of a morning, but got sick of it. It may help though.
And cravings.....well, you never know what you are actually craving, so whatever you eat never usually hits the spot.
Hope you start to feel better soon. ↑
i am soooo glad i found this website!! I have never experienced hunger like this is my life!! Im 8weeks pregnant and feel like i have the worlds worst hangover daily! I do find very gentle exercise can help and home made fruit and veg juice. Nutrition without too many calories!! ↑
this hunger feeling has GOT TO GO AWAY!! I i went from eating Lunch at work and maybe dinner if i felt like cooking or stopping somewhere after work. The moment i get hungry i have to eat or else my head will start hurting and the longer i wait to head the more my head hurts. i try to eat light foods but it doesn't satisfy my appetite. i have to eat something fullfilling. I really don't want to gain alot of weight from this hunger binge but hey what can i do. I have to feed the little one right??!!! ↑
Hi all, I'm 6 weeks pregnant and suffering too. I heard that protein foods are good for nausea. So I went out and bought bags of nuts and seeds and mixed them all up. I try to reach for these in between meals and they seem to keep the nausea at bay, but unfortunately not for long enough! ↑
I'm about 6 weeks along and starving all the time. I'll take any advice on this. I"m at a great weight now but I don't want to blow up during my pregnancy. ↑
I"m so glad to hear that I'm not the only one going through this. I was beginning to wonder if was normal. I am now at 12 weeks. The hunger and nausea are still with me, but I'm counting down the days that it goes away. Good luck to all! ↑
I had nausea and hunger my entire pregnancy. I remember I would eat a bowl of cereal and throw it up. Then I would eat again. Sometimes all you need is to throw up!! :) ↑
I feel the same way. I am 8 weeks pregnant and eat a well balanced diet. I have a bowl of special K in the morning, a banana at 10, a salad or sandwich or both for lunch, an apple or string cheese around 2, and come 4PM my stomach wants more. I feel like I am eating too much. The odd thing is I don't feel the need to throw up. I have yet to throw up once. I simply feel nauseous. I'm even eating late at night because my stomach won't let me rest. I know it's bad to eat late at night, and I've never done it before but I don't know how else to relieve the pressure. Worst of all, my system is holding on to everything. I feel bloated and full of gas constantly. I figure I'll ask my doctor when I see her for my initial prenatal appointment in two weeks. ↑
YES and I was told it would be better by week 12. The neausea has seriously cut back (I am 16w now) but I am still always hungary. And snacks don't cut it, I need a MEAL every couple of hours. If you are so sick of crackers, dry Cheerios help with the neausea. Also, I found that some of the foods I was eating were making me ill, bananas were causing indigestion and too much cheese or fruit led to other uncomfortable issues. Someone on here just mentioned to me that eating carbs will keep you full longer. ↑
Hello ladie I'm kind of new here and thaks for the page I almost fell y/day of hunger I was already getting all so dizzy and weak until I got two bananas I'm also a big fan of bananas now and salty stuff wow I love them. I am actuall y trying my best by eating two w/bix in the morning, at 10 a banana, 1:00 a sndwich soemtimes some pasta with salads, 4pm friut and at 7 supper with lots of veggies On the weekends is my worst time eating wrong foods help people I love Fried fish ↑
I am 7 weeks pregnant and I feel hungry all the time too, but I feel less naseuated when I keep eating throughout the day and drinking, so avoid dehydration! ↑
Omg I am going through the same exact thing. I feel like I'm reading about myself in all of your answers. I need some relief, I hate feeling like this its sooo annoying. ↑
Oh, my gosh yes! I'm now 9 weeks pregnant and that hunger all started about 3 weeks ago. It's awful! I mean, I'm just finished eating, I'm putting my plate in the dishwasher and I'm starving all over again... It's discouraging! I've gained 8 pounds already, but I MUST eat... otherwise I feel like I'm going to faint. Hang in there! With what the other girls have to say, it should get better :) ↑
I am about 6 weeks on. The OBGYN nurse told me to eat something before i even step out of bed. Eating does help my hunger feeling, and like all of you I dont want to gain too much weight due to being pregnant. So i eat low calorie foods that are good for me and baby. I eat cereal, Honey Nut Cheerios, without milk. At work I walk around with the box of cereal under my arm and snack almost constantly. It has a lot of vitamins and I doubt I'll get fat from eating it all day.
Also, have any of you experienced food tasting better since you've had these symptoms? It is like my nose and taste buds are hightened and food that I crave taste better. I guess that is natures way of forcing me to eat.
I cant stand white onions or any onion anymore. I loved them, but now they make me wanna throw chunks.
My doctor prescribed to me nausea medication that is typically given to cancer patients before they start chemo. IT IS AMAZING!!!! I LOVE IT!!!
It is a Pregnancy Class B drug, which means that it can be taken while pregnant. I take it as needed. I only take it if I cant eat because I feel too nauseated.
My nausea/achy feelings are debilitating and affecting my work and ability to do day to day activities. So I really needed something. Ondansetron is the name of the nausea medicine. Ask your doctors if they will prescribe it to you.
It may cause headache, but you can take tylenol if it does. I havent experienced any headaches from it.
Oh! and dont drink soda when you are feeling nauseous. It burns like a Mother***** when it comes back up! So, there you go. Another reason to just drink water and tea without caffeine while pregnant.
Hope that helps. ↑
thanks everyone

Hey everybody. Okay so now I have a question. And I've gone to the doctor to get blood work done but of course I'm sitting in suspense in the mean time. I had a normal cycle last mth. I've been spotting for the past 2-3wks. As of the past 3 days I have been constantly hungry. And if I don't eat I get unbearable hunger pains. I'm having hotflashes like crazy as well. Sounds like pregnancy? And the thing is I've had 2 others. But I was never this hungry in the beginning. It actually took me about 5-6mths to have a real pregnancy hunger! And I didn't spot either. I just had no shows. What do you guys think? ↑
