Hungry ALL the time, but nothing sounds good...

[Heather5]

OK, so I never had "morning sickness" with any of my previous pregnancies, but I'm starting to wonder if this could be it. I'll be nine weeks tomorrow and over the past week, I started feeling sooooo hungry all the time....yet nothing sounds good. But if I don't eat, I just feel kinda icky, and it gets worse the longer I wait to eat. Unfortunately, the only food that does sound good is fast food, which I know is horrible for me, but man do I crave french fries! Anyone else?

Thank you guys so much for the replies! Glad I'm not alone. As for giving in to my cravings...I've done that a few times already. I'm just worried that I'm not eating very healthy...but you're right, it's probably fine. Plus, I try to make up for it by eating more fruit, which still tastes pretty good. That's a good idea, though, about the saltines. I'll pick up some next time I go to the store.

My thing was a Wendy's Bacon Cheeseburger.  Ohhhh, there were days I would have happily given an arm for one.  I think it's fine to indulge cravings that aren't the healthiest at times.  I mean, first priority is that you eat.  I had huge food aversions in first trimester, and of course, empty tummy means more and worse nausea.  Such a catch 22 isn't it.  I guess this is why so many of us actually lose weight first trimester.  Honestly Heather, I would eat the fries.  Maybe not daily..lol, but I would go with it.  Otherwise, just do your best to eat.  I found once I got the first bit of food into me for the day, it got easier.  So I used to put a small plate of saltines next to my bed and nibble on a couple before I got up in the morning.  It helped both the nausea and the food aversions.

My only "sickness" is craving LOSTER.  My dh said it's luxury sickness.  After I gave birth, luckily I dont feel craving LOSTER no more, otherwise, how could he feed me....lol.

I totally felt this way when I was just around nine weeks, like you. The longer I waited to eat, the worse I felt (I mean, I felt sooo sick if I went more than two hours without eating), but EVERYTHING sounded gross except for a few key things (mainly fast food, like you!) Even the smell of certain foods made me feel sick. I just finally gave in to the cravings sometimes, hoping they would pass, which they did by around week 12. It's very frustrating, I agree...but I'm sure it will pass :)
