5wks in. This hunger & sleepiness is another level

Ohhh I so get it! I used to be the person who did intermittent fasting, only had 3 meals a day, and now I’m eating every 1-2 hours because of nausea and hunger 😭 Stuff that is helping me (to a point) is eating something with protein just after I wake up, I even started keeping almonds on my night stand. And I use protein powder as the last resort if I feel that I need more protein and I haven’t got it from food. I don’t think protein powders are inherently bad, but so many of them have sweeteners and other crap that probably isn’t great while being pregnant. I managed to get unsweetened organic protein powder from Bulk, but also I’m in Scotland so your options for powders and food are probably very different.

I could have wrote this myself! I am so so tired even after a good nights sleep! I don’t usually eat 3 meals a day, I could probably eat 6 times a day now 🥴 I’m torn between ignore it you don’t need this food and just eat if you’re hungry. If my stomach is empty it makes my nausea so much worse!
