Hi, im in my weeks 8 now n cant wait for my nxt appt in two wks time. I would like to share my experience during wk 5 - 8 n wondering if any mummy out there have the same feelings as me.

Wk 5 - 6: while at work, will feel VERY hungry almost every 2 hours. Also sleepy at times.

Wk 7 - 8: starting feeling different. At work, dont feel too very hungry n dont feel like eating during dinnertime. Tends to eat very slow n burps more than usual. However, during wkend, dont feel like eating much. I would tends to sleep more too.

I do experience bloated at times but guess is normal.

Does anyone has the the experience as me? Do share. Thanks.

yup! got all your symptoms.
the burp feeling for me is like going to vomit. hence i ate quite slow.
and i was tired all the time.
at times, super hungry, at times, no appetite.
don't worry too much! anything just ask doc for confirmation. =)

my appetite is good only when i am week 4 approaching week 5...and always sleepy
after that from week 6 till now approaching week 9, i dont have any appetite. i just eat for the sake of eating and not to let my stomach go empty if not nausea will be worse. sometimes i feel hungry, and then lose all appetite again.

try to drink more milk if u cant eat well :)

Glad to hear that I'm the only one that have this weird feeling....

Present moment I do not have any MS yet and sometimes do feel only nausea but not to the extend of vomiting food out...Perhaps too early to say...

I'm now looking forward to week 12 to end this weird feeling...haha...

I also experienced these too. The burbing, vomiting and tiredness is more severe btw 8-10 wk. Now approaching 11th week, I still have these. Now stomach also a bit painful while I eat my lunch. I have to spread out my lunch into batches to eat and eat very slowly. I also eat too little. Coz if I pack a lot, I couldn't finish anyway.

Yup, I freq fart too! The fart only started recently. Coz there are a lot of gas inside, which also causes me to burb and vomit. I find that usually, this gas got stuck with the food when it wants to burb out and food is stopping it, so I have to vomit the food and gas out. Feels better after that.
 
I also have same feeling. Sometime hungry but no mood to eat, just want to sleep... feel vomit after food, even sometime drink plain water also feel like to vomit.. look forward for weeks 12, end the first trimester. People said after the first trimester, then will feel better.. i hope so.

hotmilktea, I'm still thinking abt how to tell her. And whether I shd tell my immediate supervisor n the person who recommended me first.

Carisella, u mean the vomiting? recently I am vomiting less food le but the feeling is still there. I'm learning to space out meal so I digest slowly, feel less hungry n vomit less.

Ya lo Ya lo.. the way u vomit out.. sounds so unhealthy.. could it be acid reflux? cos whenever i eat finish, i'll feel like the food coming back up.. i don't vomit out.. rather i sit down relax awhile and then hope it will go down.. the feeling is very disgusting one..

did u lose weight after all this ?
my gynae said i lost 1kg, which is totally normal. he say not gaining and losing weight is ok when pregnant till abt start of 2nd tri then must start gaining weight.

small meals really help me a lot. like really small bites, curry puff i cut into halves and eat by portion, dinner and lunch all divide into half and eat.
i feel so much better

I didn't lose weight but didn't gain either. Now that my appetite has improved, I think I might start gaining weight.

The weird feelings can be quite extreme.

(1) no appetite for any kind of meat (especially the sight of raw pork and chicken), feeling drowsy/heavy and waking up feeling groggy, feeling disoriented, not wanting to do much and keeping to sedentary lifestyle

(2) feeling hungry but bloated after just eating/drinking a little, feeling sick/nauseous (but not nauseating, which is worse), sleepless at night till 3am and need to nap in the afternoon

(3) no appetite for meals but only want snacks, cakes and junk food (the last 3 months), was suddenly into pineapples more than ever so ate a slice every few days and/or drank pineapple juice

I think the worst thing to happen is swelling of feet 'cos that makes walking about tedious even though my tummy was relatively small. I was losing weight towards birth but couldn't walk very much and had to run to the toilet every 20-30 mins (even at night). Oh, and constipation!

Looking back (I didn't think of joining a forum to learn/read then...) it was like being stuffed up and having my diet/sleep disrupted for 9 months. Guess it did 'prepare' me for actual motherhood: disrupted sleep and routines are mainstays.
