I'm 18 years old & about 8 weeks pregnant! I'm excited but also so scared. Im never hungry & always tired why?

Question

When am I suppose to start showing? This is my first pregnancy. My stomach is already starting to grow. I've done alot of research and it all said the first pregnancy it takes longer to show. I started out a size 2-4 weighing about 130. Now I already weigh 140. Why do I have to be showing and growing already. I'm always tired 24/7. And I always feel like I'm going to throw up, but I never do. I dont have morning sickness. I'm never hungry, I know Im suppose to eat more because Im eating for two. But I feel like I'm eating less then normal. Is this going to harm my baby?

Answer 1

im 8 weeks too, u are scared because u dont know what to expect in pregnancy and the threat of miscarriages can sometimes scared people, and hungry thats just normal

Answer 2

I'm 20 and I'm 21 weeks pregnant. First off don't listen to the guy who said you "must go marry the babys dad" do whatever your going to feel comfortable with. There's plenty of government agencies who will help single mothers. As far as eating for 2 I have read that we're only supposed to take in an additional 300 calories. Our body will distribute the food how it's supposed. As for being tired all of the time, your body's going through a lot of changes right now. The baby is taking your energy also. Try taking a nap during the day if possible! It helped me! If you need anyone to talk to you can e-mail me @ [e-mail] also there are message boards on www.americanbaby.com that I go on all the time and it's just a bunch of pregnant ladies going through the same things as we are. Hope I helped a little bit!

Answer 3

as a mom of five babies I can tell you it sounds like your anemic ( your iron is low) so get that checked soon and tell the Dr also how tired you have been.
Not eating is normal because with morning sickness and your body changes you just don't feel hungry that will change in the last stage of pregnancy

You are fine, morning sickness can cause weight loss in early pregnancy. You will really start showing from the baby at 4 months. With all the extra hormones you are bloated causing you to look bigger than you are. You need to be taking multi-vitamins if you are not already
Good luck

Answer 5

In a simple answer, babies take alot of enery out of you. Even if you don't feel hungry, eat anyway. It doesn't have to be a full 7 course meal or watev, just something that'll feel you up.

Answer 6

Because everyone is different. I was the same way...not very hungry and super tired. My sister-in-law was totally different...not tired at all, starving, and sick all day long. Different people handle pregnancy in different ways, that's all. Best of luck with the rest of your pregnancy!!

Answer 7

I certainly hope you are married or are planning to marry the guy who impregnated you? You must marry before your child is born or you and your selfish boyfriend will cause your child to be labeled a "bastard" forever! Don't do that to your child or the kid will grow up disrespecting you and him forever.
If you are married, my best wishes to you, your husband, and the birth of your child. Your marriage gives your child a better than 50% chance of succeeding in life.
