34 weeks and lost appetite- normal?

[Newt4]

Hi Im 34 weeks and have notice that I dont really eat like a pregnant person any more. Is this normal?

 

[NetsaBaba]

Yes its normal to have cravings and avertions.
Ive been having alot of them and the only thing i will eat are carrotts.
I know strange

Most women have it some time during the pregnancy but the unlucky ones get them frequently.

Its not really avertion more general lack of eating. Im eating portions that I would normally eat when I wasnt pregnant. My husband was the first to notice that Im not pigging out any more lol.

Completely normal. I now only eat snacks really, not full meals anymore. I'm just not hungry and that's normal at this stage.

 

[NetsaBaba]

Ooh lol. You've just gone back to normal then i guess. Im not eating alot tbh i feel hungry and as soon as i see food i feel sick.
But its normal to not pig out throughout.
Gosh that rhymed

Yes, that's totally normal at that stage. Baby is bulking up now, instead of developing. You'll probably go through a few more phases of eating vs. not eating. They say in the last 4 weeks its entirely possible to not gain any weight at all. (but bubs still will be)

Thanks guys. I was worried because I am still measuring small and I need to keep growing.

Dont be worried though as long as the baba is healthy

aw i can totally relate to that! for almost a month, or a cpl random weeks here and there over the summer, it was a chore to eat! i found that i was eating more like i did before i got pregnant too... had to force myself to eat a lot of the time and that was hard because nothing was all that appealing to me, just couldn't find anything i wanted to eat, and it wasn't a sickness issue either. i did make sure i ate WELL tho, when i did eat yummy full fat yogurt, fruit, and if there WAS something that i really liked, i would make sure to eat that A LOT, so i was eating. gradually, tho over the past few weeks, my appetite has returned and i've eaten SO much since friday, it's unreal!
you'll probably find that your appetite returns again and catches you off guard! don't worry too much about it, it's quite common from what i've heard

oh god lol, i'm the complete opposite!
i've done nothing but eat the last few weeks and i mean anything thats near me i will eat!
doesn't help my craving is chocolate either -_- aha

it all sounds normal hun, all the best xx

I've gone through phases: weeks where I've been really picky with my food, and other times where I just eat everything in sight! I think you just need to listen to your body and eat when you feel hungry x

I am just snacking during some meals, but then feel hungry after, but CBA to do anymore food, so end up eating fruit xx
