eating too much?

[BabyTurnip]

Im 14weeks +4 and i probably eat every two hours. Food is always on my mind abd im always hungry. Its gotten so bad! And i know im eating for me n the baby but is this really normal? Eating every two hours (around that time) and i was worried i was gonna weight massive! But im actually 4lbs under my weight a month ago! Im so tired of always eating im doing more dishes then i ever have before. Is anyone else in this boat?

Ps. I try to eat like fruits n veggies inbetween meals but it feels like its not enough. This morning i had a banana muffin then later crepes then later one more crepe then fruits and then around 1pm i had my lunch. I feel crazy!

Calcium deposits are usually nothing to worry about & usually disappear in the 3rd trimester. Your doctor may monitor it to make sure but I was told 9 times out of 10 they go away & even if they don't they rarely cause problems. My little guy had one on his heart & it's now gone.

Apparently not since my older brother Is now 22 and having the time of his life. Other than him bein' born with the cord wrapped around his neck, my mom didn't say anythin' about the calcium deposits bein' a harm to him.

Is calcium deposit on the placenta a bad thing? I wont harm my baby right? I sure hope it settles down lol im buying so much groceries lol im wanting all the fatty food too but ive limit my fridge to 3/4 fruits and veggies so if im hungry i kinda have to go towards those lol

I remember feeling like this too when i was at your stage. Everything i ate just wasn't enough, and fruits and vegies just didn't cut it, i'd want all the junk food stuff too! But don't worry, your appetite will settle down.

I've gained about 30 pounds and I still have 2 months to go, I really hope I can get all this baby weight off me and have my old body back, ha. Eggs and PB has some protein In It as well, eat some fiber one granola bars, those have like 25-35% of your daily fiber/protein In It. I go through milk like crazy too! It's like I go through a jug a day, I'm glad I have WIC lol. Never heard about bein' too much milk though, but not too sure on that one. My mom said she was the same way with her first and when my older brother was born, there was calcium deposits all over the placenta. Sounds gross haha.

I joke that i have 2 breakfasts 2 lunches and 2 dinners which is probably less of a joke than i say it is cause its pretty accurate lol

Im also 14w4d and ive been eating every 2 hours for around 6-7 weeks. if i dont eat i feel sick because im hungry. just make sure to eat healthy and youll be fine. lots of fruit n veges and fibre rich foods as you dont want to feel all blocked up :)

I think thats my main problem is i cant stand the smell or taste of meat cooking. So i havent eat anything meaty really. I eat chicken sometime when i dont feel sick but i mostly rely on my prenatal vitamins, salmon and chickpeas. Everything i eat doesnt feel very filling. At least im happy to know im not the only one and that i wont gain like a gazilion lbs lol i was scared i would gain too much weight if i eat like that. My mom says its easier to give birth if u keep a good steady weight gain and dont gain too much and its much easier to go back to ur original body state after baby is born. Im hoping it stops at the third trimester too then lol plus i go threw milk like crazy! Does anyone know if theres such a thing as too much milk?

I was like that up until I hit the third trimester. I was hungry and had to eat every 1-2 hrs or I would get sick I'm now 33 weeks and I've only gained 20lbs all together so far so everything's good

I was In the exact same boat when I was In my first and second trimester. I was ALWAYS hungry. I felt like my baby was stealin' all the food and left nothin' for me, so I had to eat some more, and more, and more haha. But once I hit the third trimester, It went down drastically. Now, I don't ever feel like eatin' but It could be because how big he Is now and I can only eat so much without feelin' sick now. Eatin'  somethin' with a lot of protein well help satisfy with the hunger for longer.

I'm exactly 2 weeks behind you & I tooootally get it!
I'll eat, but 20 mins later I'll be hungry again. It's become a bit of a pain.
I was told its okay to eat several times a day, as long as it's not unhealthy or inedible :)
Try pregger friendly shakes, you can mix them up in the morning with you're fav fruits & refrigerate or make them into yummy ice cubes to munch on. I found making my own blend of v8 works great if you can't or don't want to eat right away. Hope this helps a little :) good luck momma!
