Listen up all you non-pregnant people (who haven't been pregnant before)....not everyone gets morning sickness, I haven't yet thank God, not everyone has strange cravings for pickles and ice cream BUT you will feel like you are starving! No joke!
This is the 8th week of my pregnancy, two months down and 7 more to go (God, that seems soooooo lengthy) and I feel like I could eat 5,000 calories a day! Obviously, I don't because I do tend to get an upset stomach when I eat too much at one time, which is why I've become a perpetual snacker, but I AM always hungry. It is the worst feeling in the world to be unsatisfied with your meals, or to be satisfied by a great piece of salmon with broccoli and carrots (oh, so delicious) only to be hungry again 2 hours later. FRUSTRATING!!!!! I don't want to gain so much weight that it will be hard for me to lose it after the baby, but how can you not gain weight when you are constantly hungry? I'm not exaggerating at all! I've been eating relatively healthy too because I'm paranoid of gaining 50 pounds when my doctor told me only 20-25!! What can I do?? Help!
My mom was telling me that she knew a lady when we lived out in CT that loved being pregnant. She told my mom that being pregnant was the greatest thing.....
THAT LADY IS FREAKING CRAZY!!!! To be honest, I really haven't had it that bad. I've only thrown up once because I took my vitamins on an empty stomach, but other than that it's been pretty okay. Sometimes that worries me because I tend to think that I have to have the common symptoms for everything to go okay, but maybe you don't. But still being hungry (and so tired that I think I'd rather have mono for 3 months again) after eating is just plain irritating.
Sigh...well, I'm off to see what is in my fridge, freezer or pantry...again.

LOL I feel for you!! It's not really the same, but I totally know what it feels like to eat but not be satisfied b/c we can't get any like REAL food here so I have to half-ass everything and I just end up being hungry and disappointed :-( Maybe this is just in place of morning sickness and it will go away after awhile :-D Love love love you, keep us updated!
Ummmm mono is not good. At least you're able to go out and do stuff! When you had mono you just slept 20 hours a day. Borrrrrrrrrrrrrrriiiinnnnnnnnnggggggggg.
Ha, Ashley compared Dominica to pregnancy. That just made my day.
