I know the feeling, I was feeling sick constantly in the early days of my pregnancy up to about 30 weeks n the only way to curve it a little was to snack every 2-3 hours. My little man is now 12 days old 😍 and was a chunk at 9lb5oz born 😳 xx

30weeks?!? Wow that's an achievement. My first pregnancy was without any symptoms so I'm struggling a bit now..

I guess I’ve missed your BFP, great news! My pregnancy started off like that too. I ate so much at the beginning but that’s stopped now! Wishing you all the best for your pregnancy x

Thank you. I guess I didn't share it. So many hopes and losses... Also, I will consider myself pregnant when I see the heart beat. At the moment I'm just a bag of worries and food 😁

I also had 3 losses so I understand! I’m sure you can see the heartbeat already now! Xxx

I am 6w 4 days so almost exactly the same as you and I feel exactly the same!! Cannot stop eating and feeling constantly hungry/sick. I eat and then it lasts about 10 mins and then I’m hungry again! I guess the little babies are taking all of our food to grow which is a good sign :) congratulations! Xx

I hope that's true about the baby taking all the food, otherwise I'm in trouble!When is your scan?

Officially on 4th august when I’ll be 7+4 but I couldn’t wait and went for a private one couple days ago just to check all ok 🙏🏼 When do you have yours? Xx

Exciting and not too much longer to wait! It went well, could see the heartbeat flickering already which I didn’t expect. Fingers crossed for you xx

I was exactly the same at that stage, exhausted and nauseous, for about 10-12 weeks I think. I just had to constantly eat fairly dry things like toast, bagels and ginger biscuits to curb it and thankfully it didn’t last too long so I haven’t ended up the size of a house (am 39 weeks today). Just try to stay active, go for walks, and you should be fine. For me the eating was the only way to get through it. Wishing you all the best xx

Thank you. How is 39weeks feeling? I gave birth at 38 😂 I've only put 15kg in my first pregnancy and I'm already putting on weight now 😂

I hear what you're saying. I get this insatiable hunger to eat, but I've been able to help curve that with eating healthier things now like fruit, veggies, salmon, bagels, nuts, etc. I'm 30 weeks now and have been tired this entire pregnancy, but no sickness. Have you looked to see if your iron is low, mine is and now having to take pills which do give me a little more energy but walking also helps. I've gained 15lbs and baby is 3lbs as of now, so don't worry too much about filling your need to eat, baby does take the nutrition from your food. Either way, CONGRATULATIONS! so happy for you. Hang in there, it's so worth it!

😍💛

Congrats on your pregnancy! I’m 17 weeks and still nauseas. A handful of almonds get me through for a few hours. Xx
