Always Hungry

I am 12 weeks pregnant and I had been previously eating about every two to three hours small meals since that's all I can handle this last week, I feel like I am ALWAYS HUNGRY!! Like nauseous and shaking hungry! It's kind of scary.... I wonder if the baby is getting enough to eat or will I be able to eat enough to sustain it? I haven't gained any weight yet, actually I've lost 4 1/2 pounds but my Dr. says as long as I'm eating i should be alright, I wonder if she'll say the same thing a few months down the road if I don't gain anything? Any help or experience will be extremely helpful!!

I was eating about every 1 1/2 hours while I was pregnant. It came in waves, I would want to eat everything for a while then want to eat nothing. My OB was Ok with me loosing during the entire pregnancy because I still had it to loose. As long as you are eating the baby is getting what he/she needs and will be fine. The baby takes first and you get the "leftovers".

Good luck and keep on snacking!

Thanks so much for the advice, as long as I know it's not just me. My mom always says the baby will get theirs and leave me with what's left!

This is all new to me too! I found that my Blood sugar drops a LOT now. I am also always hungry, but when I eat I get sick, so a couple bits does not help to much. I will be seeing my doctor on Friday and make sure everything will be ok.

Bless your heart, sorry it makes you sick. I could only imagine cause I'm eating pretty decent, if I couldn't get more than two bites down. Please reply with what your Dr. says if you have a chance and I will do the same. My appt is on monday

im almost 37 wks prego.... i didnt gain any weight until week 24 so dont worry and so far ive only gained 18 lbs..... my baby is measuring a little small in her tummy but other than thats shes great.... shes just going to be a tiny lil girl  good luck and congrats
