Getting full fast

[may07wedding]

Did any of you get really full, really fast at the beginning of your pregnancy? I'm now 10 weeks and I take 4 bites and I'm STUFFED!!

Yes totally, I forgot about that. Don't worry, that will pass:)

I'm just worried that the baby isn't getting all the nutrients that it needs cause I'm not eating a lot, but, I guess I gave to remind myself that my body will do what its suppose too and the baby will get what it needs.

The baby will get all he/she needs; you will suffer.

Yep that's a normal worry. But your baby doesn't need much this early, it's still a teeny tiny little thing. Just make sure you are drinking lots of water and taking your prenatals. Eat what you can, your body knows what it's doing. Lots of women even lose weight early and are AOK.

Yeah, that happened. Then for a little bit I ate EVERYTHING. Now I am just eating normal.

Exactly this.

Yeah, I was like that for most of my pregnancy. My appetite improved by the 3rd tri, but I never got as hungry as I thought I would. Just keep taking your PNV, drinking milk, and the baby will take what she/he needs from you.

You'll make up for it if you're breast feeding. I was way more hungry BFing than was pregnant.

[sara76]

Amen Jennifer. I seriously have never felt hunger like when breast feeding. I had no idea. I never even liked cake before or while pregnant. Now it consumes my thoughts. Chocolate cake. Omg.

You're fine. You don't even need to eat "extra" until 2nd tri. Baby will get what Baby needs.
