Hi

I'm in my 6th week of pregnancy. Everything is fine. Going well so far.

But I can't stop eating, I'm hungry all the time I'm craving salty foods really badly and if I don't eat I feel sick.
Worried about putting on too much weight too quickly.
:(:(

What do you think

Don't worry about the weight just yet. The thing that concerns me is the salty foods. This can increase your blood pressure causing something called pre-eclampsia. You don't want that. It will also cause swelling in your feet and ankles.

Are you eating healthy? That's the most important thing. Or are you eating chips for salt? When I crave salt I try a slice of cheese, or one pickle slice. Just try not take in "empty" calories, that is what will cause you to gain too much.
