Yes, yes, yes and yes! I am hungry all the time but at the same time I feel sick. The feeling sick part does not make help my appitite, then I get so hungry that it hurts. Next I am throwing up, I go through the cycle about 5 or 6 times a day. It's getting better though, I try to have a snack on the nightstand.

I have a similar problem too. I feel hungry all the time and if I eat too much I get sick, if I eat to fast I get sick, if I dont eat I get sick. It's a never ending cycle....I just try to eat a lot of smaller meals through out the day and have lots of snacks.

Try to eat protien and food that will stay with you a while.Nothing with a lot of sugar in it

i have the same thing. i basically feel either hungry or sick at all times. i haven't thrown up at all, just a steady sick feeling. as soon as i eat something, i feel sick again, and then hungry again within minutes. will this ever stop? i feel like i'm gaining too much weight. not sick enough to keep me from eating...always hungry.

I'm in the same situation. It's horrible. But it means your hormones are doing their job.

Nadia, I totally understand!
Does anyone know when that constant hunger/sickness ends? I feel hollow all the time, but I don't want to eat...even though I have to.

You are not alone! Either I am sick or hungry. I eat and 10 minutes later I am still hungry!

Im now around 10 weeks pregnant, i feal hungry everyday an night, and i cant stop eating if i dont eat i get sick and if i eat too much i get sick, but my way of resolving it is to drink lots of water, it helps alot!!!

Im hungry every 3 hours. I am 4 weeks 3 days pg and I am sure I have already gained like 5 lbs.

I felt like that until about 10.5 weeks, then all of a sudden my stomach felt normal again. Only things that helped me were lots of ice water, and only eating things that didn't, when thought about first, turn my stomach over. It was like a constant hangover, though I only threw up about 4 times during the first trimester. This too shall pass :) Good luck all.

I am about 2 months pregnant and this is my second time around ...I have taken several medications and tried acupuncture to stop the horrible feeling of indigestion/nausea ....It's taking over my life ...I'm now taking zantac75 ...still no change. Does anyone have a remedy ...Please ...the belching alone will kill me, but I don't know if I can take much more

I get the same feeling too. I am 16 weeks pregnant. I feel so hungry that i feel nauseous. But what do you all have on hand to eat as soon as you feel hungry, when you dont have anything cooked? I dont know what to make immediately. I am allergic to milk also, so cannot even have cereal.

yes! It's terrible! I'm having a hard time! I'm really nauseous all the time but I'm hungry also, and nothing really sounds good! I can't wait to be able to eat with no problems... 

Name: sandi | Date: Nov 2nd, 2005 6:07 PM
i ate tomatoes and drank tomato juice. Helped the nausea and sickness. I snacked a lot rather than eat big meals (which I threw back up). Was better to eat small meals often.

I'm 10 weeks pregnant right now, and I feel hungry often and while I am I feel sick. The only way to help myself feel better is by eating something. I believe it's normal since the baby is really getting formed at this stage. I tend to have snacks around me all the time, like crackers, a slice of toast with cheese, juice, fruits..etc. You know healthy stuff. Don't worry it's normal! 

Name: Gemma | Date: Nov 9th, 2005 12:06 PM
I'm really glad I found this page! It's put my mind at rest that this is normal! I'm about 5 weeks pregnant and like you guys I just feel starving hungry all the time, but the sick feeling has zapped my tastebuds so there is nothing I want to eat! I'm not sure I can handle this for the next 10 weeks or more so I hope someone has got some remedies!!

I am almost 8 wks. and I too am hungy and sick at the same time. I am so hungry I eat, then my stomach starts turning and I get sick. I have only been able to keep down Healthy Mom Ensure and Pizza Hut Pizza....isn't that horrible? I can't wait until this ends.

Yes, I felt the exact same way until about 12-14 weeks. I would eat cream of wheat in the moring with fresh or canned peaches in it, it was all that I could stand. I used to eat eggs every morning and now the smell of them cooking smelled like burnt hair, eeewwww. I also ate a lot of pasta for lunch (tortellini, ravioli,etc, for the cheese in it), a frozen brand called "Amy's" (it doesn't have a lot of hydrogenated fats or salts or sugars in it)and it was easy to bring to work and nuke it. Also, I eat a lot of nuts, the protein is good for you. If you like sardines on crackers, they are a good lunch but it might be a bit early on in the pregnancy for them, if you are nauseous a lot.Cottage cheese (with canned/fresh fruit or cut up tomato or avocado if you like it and string cheese is good. Drink a lot of water, breathe deeply and avoid sugar as much as you can, esp soda.Hope this helps.

Try nuts. I take them with me everywhere. They really help.

Yes Yes and Yes!!! lol I am also constantly hungry and if I don't eat I get nauseas so it is totally normal and I am sure many pregnant women have that symptom. I am 6w 2d. 

Name: mandee25 | Date: Apr 11th, 2006 1:15 AM
I am now 8w 3d pregnant and am still nauseas most of the time and very hungry. 

Name: Irene | Date: Apr 20th, 2006 5:16 PM
I'm so glad that I found this page. I have been starving for the last 3 days and thought there was something wrong with me. Thanks for making me feel normal! I try drinking lots of water and it helps at times.

Does anyone know what the EARLIEST in your pregnancy is that you can have this symptom? How soon after conception? Thanks!

It usually starts around 5 weeks. I feel too sick to eat but I know that if I need to. The nausea NEVER goes away whether I eat or not. I am 9 weeks pg. Everyone keeps telling me this will go away around 12 weeks. i hope so. I have gone off every food I love. The only thing I seem to enjoy at the moment is fruit smoothies. I have lost 7 pounds just cos I am being sick or not eating at all.

I am always hungrey and then i feel nausious. and then hungrey again 10 mins after i have jsut finished eating. the only thing is , is that i just took a pregnancy test about 20 mins ago and it came back negative. so i don't know if i am pregnant or not. this is so confusing!!
