What is the reason why I am hungry but can’t eat in early pregnancy?

The first reason for being hungry but unable to eat in early pregnancy is due to the increase in hormone levels after pregnancy, especially after the increase in estrogen and progesterone, which will inhibit the function of the gastrointestinal tract and slow down the gastrointestinal motility, but because the embryo also needs to grow and develop and has a strong metabolism, this phenomenon will occur. The second reason, there may also be a case of having stomach disease or pregnancy complications. If you are very hungry and can’t eat enough to satisfy your needs, you can use a small number of meals, eat more light food, drink some millet porridge as well as eat some vegetables and fruits to reduce your hunger. Generally, after the third trimester, the progesterone is maintained at a high level, the gastrointestinal response will gradually slow down and women’s appetite will improve. In addition, women should also pay attention to increasing their diet in the middle of pregnancy because the fetus grows and develops faster during this period and the demand for nutrition will increase accordingly.
