does anyone else have a problem with this eating thing?

I mean, they want us to eat 5 or 6 small meals a day right? How am I supposed to so that? I love to eat, and if I'm in the kitchen cooking I'll be darned if I'm not gonna sit there and eat a whole big meal. Maybe even seconds haha but seriously. Does any body actually do that? The small meals thing. I can't even imagine.

I try to eat smaller meals and i cant eat after 8.30 at night. Im up at 5AM with my partner before he goes to work and im usually sick then. I dont have much of an appetite tho which *****. And i dont believe smaller meals stop heartburn/reflux, i eat small meals and still have it like crazy!

dr tell us to eat smaller meals more offten because ig your throwing up alot it helps you get the intake. Its easy for our body to break down a small meal and uses less energy. I had to eat smaller meals in the beggi g because i was throwing everything back up but now thats went away and i can eat a normal sized meal and i only eat when im hungry instead of snacking all the time.

I eat smaller amnts but that's because I don't have much of an appetite and when I do eat I get full real easy. I can barely finish a bowl of cereal so I just snack and graze all day.

I don't. I eat two or three meals a day. With snacks in between sometimes. But I have not had an appetite at all this pregnancy. They say 6 small meals because it will help prevent heartburn.
