cheese on crackers are great, they fill you up and the cheese is good to help the nausea, you can also add a huge variety of other thins to it depending on what you're craving , I did find I got sick of cheese and crackers after a while though lol.

Also snacking in general helps, eating every 2 hrs rather than waiting for meals so your tummy is never completely empty (ie eat before you're starvingly hungry).]]> Tue, 18 Mar 2008 15:55:29 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=15373&PID=328992&title=hungry-hungry-starving#328992 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=15373&PID=328942&title=hungry-hungry-starving#328942 Author: Bobbie

Carbs are awesome! My DH is on a health fix at the moment and wants us to eat salads and lean meat so now I make the most of eating carbs at work and when he is not around LOL

If I have a salad I'm really really hungry 10 minutes later.

My workmates keep telling me that I don't even look pregnant apart from my bump so I think eating what you crave is the way to go ]]> Tue, 18 Mar 2008 14:56:18 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=15373&PID=328941&title=hungry-hungry-starving#328941 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=15373&PID=328733&title=hungry-hungry-starving#328733 Author: The_Stuarts

hmmm. chocolate cake! Dh just called to say there is a wheat/gluten free chocolate cake at woolworths for $4.50 but I was very self restrained and asked him NOT to buy it (as the 2 slices of giner crunch I had at breakfast time were bad enough - and I don't even have the excuse of 'eating for two').]]> Tue, 18 Mar 2008 11:48:32 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=15373&PID=328733&title=hungry-hungry-starving#328733 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=15373&PID=328727&title=hungry-hungry-starving#328727 Author: FionaS

Hi Kazzle

I'm now at 15 weeks but up until about 12 weeks I found I was constantly eating all day. One to keep the nausea away and two because I was always hungrey.
Did put on about 3kg in the first trimester as I was too tired to do any exercise and I found I was craving carbs in particular vegemite sandwiches(Brown bread) and the odd lolly for a quick sugar fix

Now finding that my appetite has decreased especially my desire for carbs and I don't seem to be able to eat as much or want to eat as much and my weight has remained steady. Energy levels have also come back so I am now doing a bit of exercise.

Drink plenty of water as well.

I was exactly the same! I had people telling me to snack on fruit but only carbs would do it for me.

I thought I'd end up gaining an insane amount but I gained bang on the amount I was meant to.

mashed banana on toast with cinnamon and sugar on top
porridge
anzac biscuits always available in the cupboard (they're healthy )
If you like veges and dip, make it up in the morning and have a steady supply in the fridge so when you need a snack right now, it's right there
Cheese and pineapple
Potato salad is another thing you can make and leave in the fridge for when you need a solid pick-me-up
Macaroni cheese for lunch
Spaghetti on toast/toasties]]> Mon, 17 Mar 2008 22:52:37 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=15373&PID=328375&title=hungry-hungry-starving#328375 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=15373&PID=328308&title=hungry-hungry-starving#328308 Author: meow

Argh! I am soooooo hungry allll the time. Granted I have a cold at the moment and am seriously sleep deprived but I seriously feel like eating all day long.

If your appetite increased in the first trimester, how did you manage it? I mean, realistically my calorie needs won't have increased much at all. I believe at this point an extra apple a day is all that is needed.

I'm trying to make healthy choices and eat filling foods but I just wanna eat! ]]> Mon, 17 Mar 2008 17:11:38 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=15373&PID=327900&title=hungry-hungry-starving#327900
