I'm starving.

Seriously. Already? So far today, I've eaten 2 big pieces of Easter bread with butter, a mozzarella cheese stick, and a taste of chocolate bunny. It's only 11:15, and I think the egg salad sandwich and banana I brought to work for lunch are not long for it.

I'm assuming if you are posting in a due date club you are expecting--or did you think you would just find more sympathy for being starving here!!

CONGRATULATIONS!

I'm actually finishing up my lunch, even though I don't eat until 1:00. I'm planning on eating something else then!

Me too. Sometimes I just feel hungry and sick all at the same time and sometimes I feel so hungry I could eat a horse.

I'm always hungry. Pregnant, not pregnant, nursing, whatever, I can eat you under the table. I once typed in everything I ate for a couple weeks into fitday.com, and found I was eating about 2900 calories per day. That was during a time I was losing weight.

That being said, I have no desire to eat anything sweet, so I'm probably taking in few calories these last few days.

yyyup. starving here, too. not nauseous yet, but i can see it starting to creep into the edges of my awareness. right now i'm not letting it get to that point bc i'm just scarfing down anything in my reach. LOL

My main problem is that i dont really feel like eating anything at all. even when i am hungry nothing is that appealing and i am feeling faintly nauseous a lot of the time.

with my other 2 pregnancies i became hungry virtually from the day i conceived and didnt stop eating at all, this time i am feeling a lot less like eating - which is annoying because i LIKE eating!!!

also i had pretty small bumps with both of my first 2 pregnancies and i am hoping for something much more impressive and noticable this time!!

I've noticed I'm super hungry today too! Maybe my first symptom...I'm also really tired, but that might be because I woke up at 5 this morning (I usually don't get up until a quarter to 9 : ) and couldn't get back to sleep. I'm dying for symptoms...something to make it seem real! C'mon big boobs!

Yes yes yes - hungry every minute. Of course I am always hungry - pregnant or not - but now I truly feel like I cannot get enough to eat. I'm trying to be really aware of what I'm eating and try to make it (mostly) healthy and beneficial. I'm using the Bradley nutrition sheet to keep track of everything I eat - I do a lot of writing The protein thing is the hardest for me since I'm a vegetarian but I'm really trying hard.

Just wanted to say that spirulina is a great source of protein! It's a blue-green micro algae that comes in pill form or powder (to put in your smoothies). Fantastic stuff! 55% protein, 12 minerals, 18 amino acids, chlorophyll, and essential fatty acids (copied off the side of the bottle :LOL ). I'm a vegan and I swear by it!
