Hungry all the time....

[Irish741]

Hi ladies,

OK so I am only 4weeks 2 days and I can't seem to ever get full. I am trying to eat good well rounded meals (more small ones than big ones) throughout the day but I can not seems to stay full. I even am eating good protiens (nuts, eggs, etc) but that doesn't seem to make the hunger go away for any significant period of time. If I have to eat more, I will, but I do not want to over eat and become a food blob either. From what I have read, you only need about another 300 calories a day, maybe not even that much in your early stages, but I feel like I am eating my 300 + and it isn't helping.

Could this be a sign of more than one developing person inside? Oh geeess!

Any advise? I will keep eating I just don"t want to over gain at this point.

My first appointment is not till Aug 7th so I'll ask the doc then, but wanted to see if anyone else had any experieince in this department first.

Thanks :)

Thanks ladies!!! I will just ahve to eat more. I guess as long as it is good food, it can't be too bad....there are others to think of besides myself right now. :)

i would try to eat things that do make you feel fuller.  like more whole grains and nuts.  it happens to me sometimes, i will eat but i will feel so full and then an hour later, i am getting bad hunger pains.  i am 7 weeks 3 days, so i am not that much more ahead of you.

Ah man...I am going to have to get more food to munch on at my desk during the day.

Thanks. ;)

I am eating a protein granola bar now...I'm leaving work early today so I'll have lunch when I get home in an hour (I am sure I will be starving again by then...) aahhhh!

That's all about pregnancy girl.  It does seem to subside a little as you get further along.  I remember that was one thing that sent up a red flag to me before I knew I was pregnant.  I was always hungry, I would eat and then like 15 minutes later was starving again.  Hunger pains when you are pregnant are no joke.  You need to eat right away.  Just carry some granola bars around with you so when you do get hungry you can munch on those.
