Is it normal?

To be starving every two hours? I'm only just past 5 weeks but I am seriously hungry to the point that it makes me feel sick if I don't eat, every couple of hours!! I also seem to want really specific things, and definitely don't want specific others! Lucky I grapes, pears, salad, avocado and cottage cheese comes into the equation but so does a lot of canned spaghetti!!

I would have thought it way too early to be experiencing anything like this, but I swear I'm not making it up. I try and ignore it or wait a while longer but I just end up feeling really queasy.

Is this normal??

Completely normal Not too early either, just go with it, not point making your self sick if you can avoid it. I guess you just have to watch how much and what you're eating to avoid gaining too much weight.

I feel like such a piggie! I hope it doesn't carry on too long, I will eat us out of house and home!

totally normal!!! Eat Eat EAT!!! I am 10 weeks and still the hunger is happening every two hours! And like you it's very specific in what it has to be.


So excited for you Maybe!!!

I ate a lot of tinned spaghetti in the first two trimesters, too.

Like willow5 said, just be aware of your weight - if you're snacking every 2 hours, go for it, but cut down the size of your regular meals so that you don't gain too much!
