Hello from a newbie!

[Rummy]

Hello everyone!

Just wanted to introduce myself...have been hanging around this board for just over a week now and just decided it was time to join up & say hello!

I am 7 wks & oh so very excited & also horrendously scared all at the same time! I suffer from PCOS so had a tough time conceiving but with some serious exercising & weight loss and then a course of clomid here I am!

I was offered an early scan to make sure all was ok, which I had on Wednesday....was the most nerve wracking time, but seeing a little heart beat was the best feeling ever, made it all very real for us as up until then I was just too scared to believe!

Just wanted to ask you all is it normal to be sooooo hungry all the time?!

I haven’t really had any morning sickness, the odd wave but nothing major, but my appetite has gone through the roof! I am scared that I am going to be a total blimp within a few weeks....I lost 2 stone just before getting pregnant and although I know I will put on weight I just don’t want to put on toooo much due to me pigging out 24/7! I am trying to eat a healthy & balanced diet but I find that on top of all that I want/neeeed is chocolate & steak flavoured Mccoys on a daily basis....why can’t I crave carrots?!

Hmmm seem to have waffled on a bit...sorry!

Its normal to be more hungry!

[Rummy]

Thank you guys! As well as eating 24/7 & being soooo tired, I also have a horribly spotty face....I thought I had left spotty skin behind in my teens!! I am waiting for the 'pregnancy glow' to kick in anytime now!

 

[Rummy]

Congrats Rummy!

How exciting you have seen the heartbeat already!!

I am also worried about gaining a lot of weight

 

[Bella2]

congrats and welcome to the boards! I can totally relate to the hunger issue, all I want to eat is cheese jacket potatoes! Craving carbs all the time, could quite happily have eaten some cheesy pasta or a cheese jacket pot for breakfast thankfully I managed to stick to my cornflakes, am hoping this hunger thing will wear off after the first tri or I'll be huge! x x

Congratulations Rummy! I'm a newbie too! I thought it might help you to know that I have a friend with PCOS and she took a while to conceive but now she is nearly there with the baby due in Apriland all is fine! Nice to have that early scan to know bubba is ok.

I haven't found I have any particular cravings yet but do feel hungry a lot, despite the nausea. I am sleeping for England at the moment tho! Could quite easily do nothing else!

Hmmm, can't stop thining about a maccy d's now! lol!

Congrats and welcome to the forum! I'm constantly hungry for chocolate, cakes, biscuits etc. I lost 2 and a half stone 2 years ago and so have bought any of that kind of stuff since but now I'm pregnant I'm like a pig in muck. I seriously need to calm down though or I'm going to be as big as a house.

 

[Rummy]

Morning & thank you for the all the welcomes & advice! Glad to know the mad hunger is normal.....i have decided to go with it and eat what i feel like (within reason!)

Hiya Rummy! Welcome to Tri 1 and congratulations on your pregnancy.

I am also hungry ALL the time. I'm so lucky that I have a subsidised canteen at work so I can have a cooked meal at lunch time as well as in the evening at home. I also don't seem to be craving junk food as yet which is good, just proper meals, of which I could probably eat 3 or 4 a day!! LOL. Thanks goodness we don't have Maccy D's or KFC or anything like that over here otherwise I reckon I'd be there all the time at the moment.

Also really tired too which is a nightmare as DH is a real night owl so I want to go to bed at 8pm and he doesn't want to till about midnight!

 

[mummysteph]

hiya congrats!! i am also new to this and im 12+2weeks i 2 had pcos and had 2 work hard for this wee baby but its worth it all to be pregnant, i was like that at the start all i wanted to do was eat lol xxx

 

[Ems]

Damn it. I should not thread stalk and then i wouldn't be wanting a burger now! I have just ordered one with the OH! LOL

 

[MissJuly10]

I seem to be stuffing my face too, mostly with cereal which is weird but out of everything available, it's all I fancy! x x
