thanks guys..
i am just really paranoid about morning sickness, as suffered hyperemesis gravidarum with my other five pregnancies, and this time i am single, and going it alone, so no one here to help me.. and i really really really cannot afford to get sooo sick this time..
I, too, was RAVENOUS from 4-7 weeks, and then the morning ickness kicked in BIG TIME!!!! I am almost 18 weeks now, and just got my hearty appetite back totally aboit a week and a half ago, only to get morning sickness again this weekend and another major dip in appetite.
I say eat while you can, and nibble in between. Delma/valleybabes is right on with her advice. You can also try these candies called "Preggie Pop Drops," which have actually helped me a ton. They are sour fruit-flavored hard candies, and they can really help tilt the scales in a better direction when on the verge of getting ill. They sell them here at a store called Destination Maternity, but here is a web site: www.threelollies.com/
WOW, you sound just like me when I was around 10 weeks pregnant. I was so hungry and getting sick at the same time that food was the only thing to ease my queesiness. Yep, those are the good old hormones kicking in. My wild appetite finally eased up at round 5 mionths. Now I am almost 7 months and my appetite seems to be fine now. I do get more thirstier than normal so I am just drinking more water which helps me fill up. Just remember that an empty stomacfh only upsets more because of your morning sickness so try just eating lighter meals or snack, but always have something in your tummy. You might want to try and ask your doc about some nausea meds. for your morning sickness they work wonders !!! Best of luck!!

I was never sick so cant relate there.. but as far as the eating? I say Enjoy..will worry about the weight later.
there around the 6 month mark.. there wasnt any foods I didnt not like.. oh its wonderful.
one of the pregnancy symptons Im going to miss most..
Off and on. Some days I eat tonnes, other days no appetite. Its weird, I know. However, I do believe all normal. I am 7W2D. Best wishes to you for a healthy pregnancy.
