Hello,

I'm in my 4 - 5 weeks of pregnancy and I been feeling very hungry and tired easily this time round.
2 years ago, when i'm having my son. I do feel hungry often too but not that often to the extend like now.

For example:
I ate beehoon at around 10am plus and at around 1pm plus to 2 i'm feeling hungry again. Ate a pack of chicken rice and at around 3+ and im feeling hungry again. Not only that, I feel super sleepy and tend to want to have a sleep.

Anyone encounter this before too? Feeling so hungry easily and fast?

Hello echua
I'm around 4- 5 weeks too. This is my first pregnancy so I don't really know what to expect.
I am going to see the gynae on Saturday but probably not scan yet as it is too early to see a sac?
Prob to talk about my blood test results and what not. I'm kind worried. I have no other symptoms other than really painful boobs but they also feel like before I get my period type of pain...

Nope, I don't have much appetite, especially during my first trimester. Maybe you may want to consume food with low GI (Glycemic Index), like brown rice and potato to feel full longer. Cuz it is not advisable to over consume and end up pilling more weight than required. :)

Hello,
I'm going to see my gynae next week too. Family clinic told me is better to go early to the gynae.

Most likely, the gynae will be performing Transvaginal scan, meaning that the gynae will insert the scan through your vaginal to locate the sac. :)

Same problem with me. After I eat, I feel sleepy already. Just that, when I feel hungry I ate food instead of taking snacks. Guess, I gonna have trouble losing all this weight after birth.

I don't think im that hungry but im just very greedy, the feeling is akin to food cravings before my period.
I wonder if everything is ok with me. I dont know yet

Are you girls avoiding coffee?

What are some no-nos for you?

I'm not a coffee/tea addict, so no problem with me on that..
I eat everything.. Including sashimi (but just a few slices as compared to plates after plates in the past)
But my mum told me not to eat kang kong (cos too liang, she say last time she eat le at night cfm leg cramp), string ray (she duno the reason) and I think I will siam hum and most of the shell-seafood

Hi Echua, perhaps you can try having small meals. Your blood sugar levels are fluctuating when you are pregnant, hence causing you to feel hungry more often. Try to eat healthier options that make you feel full longer.

I find that eating small meals often help a lot. :)
