7wks pregnant, always hungry

[Mumtoo]

hello i am gonna be first time mom I’m 7wks along and my hunger is through the roof. Before this, I used to eat 2main meals and a snack sometimes but now i feel like I hadn’t eaten in days after 3/ 4 hours of a meal. I know so many ladies who couldn’t eat because of nausea while being preggo and here I am! ALWAYS HUNGRY! Anyone else who can relate with me on this???

Also I am waiting to hear back from my hospital for my first appointment. I’m new in UK and still have to learn a lot about healthcare system here. Why is waiting time so long? Gosh why do I have to wait so long to catch a glimpse of this little person living in my belly always asking for food!? 🫠

I had a similar situation to you; first time mum, no nausea and an increased appetite, felt very tired though!

I had a midwife booking appointment (where they do the in-depth health check) at 9/10 weeks. It does feel like ages until the 12 week scan! Finally got mine this morning 😁

It has felt so strange having an assortment of symptoms with no clear visual confirmation of pregnancy. The scan will help make it feel more real though.

Yes!! I am always tired too! Also, I have discovered this new joy in sluggishness. Can’t wait for the first scan, hope to get appointment soon.

Thank you for your reply. Congratulations momma! Have a beautiful, safe and healthy pregnancy journey! ❤️

It has been nice having such a good reason to rest!

Thank you! Congratulations to you too

Hello! First pregnancy too here, I’m 16 weeks right now. I had the extreme hunger (and mild morning sickness) in first trimester but it seems to have levelled out now.

I also found the waiting time for the scan hard to bear and to calm my anxiety I booked a private reassurance scan at window to the womb at 8 weeks and was able to see my tiny embryo and a heartbeat. I think I paid £70, it was definitely worth it for the peace of mind.

All the best and congratulations!

I completely lost my appetite with my first pregnancy - my son is now 7.5 months and I’m 14 weeks pregnant with my second (thank you Lord) I am always hungry, ALL THE TIME (I’m also breastfeeding round the clock). I wake up at 5am for my first breakfast and then go back to bed until breakfast number 2 🤣 I’m also incredibly nauseous and vomiting so it’s all fun and games in this house. Congratulations and enjoy every moment because it’ll go by so fast ❤️
