Eating eating eating

hi, I'm only 4 weeks and all I want to do is eat! Is this happening to anyone else? I'm normally not a big eater. Not sure if it's my brain saying your pregnant just eat what you want or maybe this is normal?

The sickness is coming but every since I stopped my protein shakes.  I just got to get back on it.  Just certain smells hit my nose wrong lately.

Eat while you can. Once the sickness hits you will wish you could eat. I gained 8 pounds and now have lost 13 because of being sick. I'm just at 19 weeks. My sickness has lessened but it's still there. Just be thankful and eat up. :) good luck ladies.

All I do is eat!  When I think it, I must eat.  Hunger pains are no fun because the cramps come with it. I am sensitive to smell as well,  but I just switch my whole meal up.I was a healthy eater before pregnancy, so I don't change much in my diet except aging more fatty foods to my diet.

Its normal! Your pregnant! I did that until 5 weeks(I found out at 3) when morning sickness kicked in. Now I'm almost 20 weeks and its been back for about a month now. I try to eat healthy snacks, fruit, almonds, yogurt, etc.

It's your brain. Try healthy snacking.

Enjoy it while you can! I was eating so much my first few weeks. I could eat anything, now at 11+6 I haven't been able to eat anything, all food is displeasing.This last week has been a challenge for me. I literally force myself to eat and then vomit later. I buy something to eat and almost immediately regret it because the smell tortures me.  Not fun, wishing I could go back to eating whatever I want, or fast forward to eating what/when ever I want lol.

Yes, I'm 4 weeks and the same. Every time my stomach is empty I have strong stomach pains and want to eat everything in sight. I've already gained a pound and a half and I'm even doing pregnancy workouts. We can always blame it on retaining water right? ;)

Be happy you can now... Once I hit 6 weeks the nausea kicked in... I lost 8lbs :( I miss eating bc nothing taste right at all and all smells of foods make me feel ill. Even watching others eat just kills me. I'm now 13 weeks and still have a hard time eating dinner... Breakfast is what I load up on. I'm hoping at week 16 I get my full appetite back :) so eat up ladies :)

Glad it's not just me. If this continues I'll put of so much weight lol
