That's exactly how I feel right now. I'm STARVING!!! but nothing sounds good to me. I've been eating out a lot more because I can't seem to eat the food I bring for lunch or planned for dinner. Not a good thing really since I'm trying not to gain a million pounds and trying to save the budget a bit too. And my aversions seem to change from day to day.

I'm in the same boat. I'm 7 weeks and have gained 5lbs already (though I'm not starting off petite...not technically overweight, but BMI=24) and I've been worried that if it continues at this rate I'll gain way too much. I hope its all mostly water. I've been really swollen lately. I've already had to take off my wedding ring because my fingers were like sausages when I woke up this morning. I'm not sure if I should be worried about that much swelling right now.

I drink lots of mint tea and that helps me. Ginger tea also helps, but be careful because they rarely sell ginger tea with only ginger in it. it usually has a ton of other things that may not be safe for pregnant women. i prefer just to heat up hot water and sprinkle some ginger powder in it.
