I am 9w4d now, but I felt the same when I was 7 or 8 weeks. always hungry but cannot eat much, very bloated. my husband would get me ABC soup and it helps to settle my stomach and I can eat a little better after. I would also drink milk or eat bread when i cannot eat much, at least something is going in. It really helps to eat many small meals a day instead of 3 proper meals. I am eating about 5 times a day, breaking up lunch and dinner into 2 smaller portions each. Helps me to take in more food and nutrition without feeling so nauseous or bloated. I like fruits as a sweet treat now. Don't feel bad about mcdonalds, I eat maggi too and it makes me feel satisfied and happy for a while. I read that in early stages, the baby will take whatever it needs from the mother, and as long as you are not severely malnourished and you are taking your vitamins, it shouldn't impact the baby very much. Just eat the mcdonalds and maggi in moderation and should be OK. It gets better, I'm now able to tell when I need to eat and when to stop. I am starting to enjoy my meals again. hang in there!
