Not eating

Dona · Nov 24th, 2008, 13:24 PM

I am worried that I am not eating as much as I should be. I am 4 months gone and don't have a good appetite. I have actually lost weight instead of putting it on.

Is anyone in or have been in the same situation? When did your appetite return?

I am still in the feeling and being sick stage too. When did this end for everyone?

I was sick all the time until around 15 weeks, but heat was also when I moved back with my mum. For me the sickness was partly due to stress. I still have very little appetite but I try to make myself eat at least 3 times a day. When I do eat, I can't eat nearly as much as anyone else does. In two days I go to the doctor and will find out if I have gained any weight yet. I had lost 10 lbs in the first trimester and then just stayed at the same weight.

I've been worried about this too. Lately I have no appetite, and this weekend I had terrible stomache pains after I ate anything so really didn't eat much. It worries me because I had a nice big bump developing and today my stomach is practically flat. I haven't had any M/S at all so far so I can't say it has been from that and I haven't lost any weight, (although I might have after this weekend?) I always thought that once I got pregnant that I would eat all the healthy things, three square meals a day plus a couple healthy snacks, and I feel like a big failure now because I honestly couldn't care less about food, I'm just not hungry, and the bit of expanding my stomach has done isn't helping. I just always feel full, or stuffed, because my clothes are tight and my stomach is all distended and tight, it really doesn't help the appetite.

I'm sorry you are struggling too, hopefully things will get better and you will be able to put the weight on this month.

I'll be thinking of you

I went through phases of not eating at all, then eating too much. I think that after morning sickness for so long, it takes awhile to trust food again lol. Even if you didn't have ms, it's pretty normal. There are also days where all I want is popcorn. Pregnancy messes with you the best it can, while it can

I don't eat sometimes, I am just not hungry.. so I eat little yogurts that are like 35 calories per 100g.. they aren't filling and easy to eat I guess. I've still been putting on weight though. Talk to your doctor though because by 2nd semester you should probably not be losing weight.. if they're worried about it they'll do whatever it is that needs to be done.

I also have very little appetite this pregnancy.
I just don't feel like food much at all.
Breakfast I am hungry for but thats it. I don't think I have gained since last weigh-in and my maternity jeans are hugging my bump but very baggy everywhere else.

Just trying to eat little snacks (crackers,grapes,cereal) will help you some.

(((hugs)))

Cor I wish my appetite would go away a little bit! All I seem to do is eat!
Perhaps take a vitamin supplement to make sure you get all the good stuff when your not hungry?
