CONSTANTLY hungry in first weeks of pregnancy?

Yes, that is possible. I felt like that with my first pregnancy and this one too. I was constantly hungry during the first trimester, had no morning sickness, and had to eat before I passed out. Each pregnancy is totally different, and from your symptoms you could be pregnant. Take care, and take a hpt as soon as you can.

I had this when the baby went through growth spurts. It did not last the whole pregnancy. There would be a few days or even weeks where I felt like I could eat all day. Then it would stop and I would pretty much eat like normal. Get some healthy, hearty snacks. Don't wait long between meals without having a snack. Try to eat more mini-meals instead of three big meals. But if you can't do that, snack, snack, snack. And it probably will come and go throughout your pregnancy. If it continues for several weeks, mention it to your doctor. If your weight is ok, you just have a super fast metabolism.

Well I am on my 8th week, second baby too. Very different from my first. I have nausea 24/7 but it hits harder at night when I am on my sleep I have to weak up to throw up. I am hungry but I hate all foods and all food smells make me nauseated. I am nauseated all of the time and hungry at the same time or may be I am confused and I am getting a very bad heart burn. I've been eating 6-8small meals as advised but that don't work. Maalox is making me feel better.

I only have one child but I have many friends and family members with 2 or more children. Yes the pregnancies can be that different. One reason the pregnancy could feel different is because you could be carrying opposite. For example- If your first child is a girl and your second is a boy. The change in sex can change your pregnancy. My sister-in-law is pregnant with her second child and she said her pregnancy is completely different too. Her first child is a boy and now she is pregnant with a girl.

I lost my appetite for the first few weeks, but like you say every pregnancy is different.

I wouldn't read too much into being hungry. Wait till you can test and don't rely on symptoms.

OVERCOME your cravings and look great!

Hi Jean,

We've all heard the stereo-typical story about the poor husband/partner running out at 4am to get his pregnant wife pickles and ice cream.

Yes, pregnancy and cravings do go together; but no, food cravings are NOT necessarily all bad.

In fact, most food cravings are really just your body's way of communicating with you and telling you what it needs. The problem is getting the message right! Most of the time we misinterpret, we give in, and we overindulge.

Most often, your physical cravings are telling you what you're missing!

For example, if you're craving citrus, you may need more folic acid in your food. You can eat more oranges, but you can also focus on eating more dark green lettuce, asparagus, broccoli, peanuts (if you're not allergic) and cereal.

The same goes for red meat cravings. You may need to increase your iron. Eat more beans, peas, nuts, dried fruit, meat, and breakfast cereal (but do avoid the high sugar ones).

Really listen to your messages! Here's how....

First you need to identify WHERE your craving is coming from:

· Emotional hunger begins in the mind, it's almost like the food is "beckoning" for you to eat it; while

· Physical hunger begins in your stomach, with a "humming" or empty feeling.

Emotional Hunger - Try to "Skip" the Message

Most pregnant women experience emotional cravings for food. We are motivated to eat by the sight, smell, thought or memory of a certain food. The downside is most emotional foods are less-than-healthy and high in sugar. Not to mention when you eat out of emotional hunger 95% of the time you WILL overeat. This happens because there is NO physical cue to STOP eating once you begin.

Pregnant women also misinterpret what their bodies are craving. For example, your "body" doesn't need a Double Fudge Chocolate Sunday from your favorite ice cream parlor - what your body may need though is calcium.

Does this mean you can never treat yourself? NO! What it does mean is that you must be aware of what's motivating you, be mindful of what you put in your mouth, and be able to limit your indulgences.

Physical Cravings - Pay Close Attention to the Message

Your body knows intuitively what it needs and it will tell you exactly what that is - you just have to learn to listen to it and be able to interpret the message.
