cannot stop eating.

I just found out that I am pregnant a week ago. I'm roughly 5 weeks along according to calculations. I am usually a light eater and physically active, but all I do now is eat and go to bed extremely early. I feel like eating this much is so not normal... Is anyone else eating a lot more than they usually would?

I'm so glad to hear I'm not alone. LoL In the pit of my stomach I constantly feel like I'm starving to death. I'm trying to eat healthy foods every couple of hours but it's not helping. I'm still starving! Lol Problem is... If I eat too much then I get extremely bloated, gassy and crampy. #thestruggle lol

Lucky you, congrats! I was the same, had a very good appetite at the start but suddenly at 5-6 weeks the nausea suddenly hit and has been around since. Its supposed to tail off towards end of first trimester but now at 10 weeks I feel its getting worse. I hope it goes away, since Im struggling to eat.

I'm abt 6-7 wks and the nausea never subsides for me! When it does down a little I eat a little and is instantly full but I feel a bit better! With me I feel it's a lose/lose situation

I am 6 weeks and even before I had a positive test, I started eating a lot more. I eat so much now, I try to eat mostly healthy foods but I feel hungry all the time. I haven't had any morning sickness for the last few weeks thou. I did t eat this much with my fist child so hopefully it is normal and I wo t put on too much weight.

I don't have any morning sickness and I've always ate every 2-3 hours anyways, but I'd have small healthy meals. But since I've found out I was pregnant I've ate pretty bad and larger meals. I think I need to start eating healthier again! I'll gain so much weight if I keep this up.
