Anyone else found they get full faster

[eew1471]

As of recently my appetite has decreased at meal time! I have noticed that I am getting fuller way faster than usual. I am guessing this is due to LO crowding my stomach area. Is anyone else found they are not able to eat as much at one time as before ?

OMG, ME! I thought it was just me, or that I was being crazy. I usually eat a fair amount, but i have not been eating as much at all.

It can't be baby for me yet, but I think it's maybe uterus or something IDK.

This happens to me. I guess your metabolism can slow down a bit to ensure all of the nutrients are absorbed (hence why we also get backed up). It seems to be getting a bit better for me though!

Same here! I get full after just a little bit of food, but in a little while I'll be hungry again. Everytime I eat I get really bloated and now the only time my tummy is flat is in the morning ):

This is so me I have breakfast and then most days I cant eat a lunch or if I have a lunch I dont have a dinner as im just not hungry at all iv lost weight as my jeans are getting bigger not smaller with my huge baby bump but guess it means less to lose after baby is here

I do too. I always thought it was because your stomach gets squashed so can't fit as much food haha.
I do feel hungry pretty much constantly though, just can't eat loads in one go.

I think you may be right about the over crowding causing the fullness!

I was like this during pregnancy too. Right from the start I had a loss of appetite from morning sickness but as bump got bigger I could only eat tiny meals. It literally felt like I had a gastric band fitted!

Yep, much less available tummy space! I find little and often is always much better then big meals during pregnancy. I can never finish my portion at restaurants recently either.

Same here too. I have found this though since the early days of pregnancy right up until now(almost 16 weeks) I just find I can only eat half of what I used to because I am so full or I start to feel nauseas. Maybe its natures way of making us only eat what we need instead of eating for two.

I have felt this way my whole pregnancy! It's only been the last few days that my appetite has picked up a bit but I am being smart this time and feeding that extra hunger with fruit and veg I made the mistake last time of filling it with cheeseburgers and cake!

 

[ready4family]

ME! The last few weeks I get halfway through dinner and can't have another bite, but am hungry about 30 min later haha. Think baby is already crowding my tummy!

after just eating a ginormous bowl of greek salad - nope... lol.

Definitely. I'm only 15w along but my appetite peaked at about 13w and has been on decline since.

Guessing this has something to do with the fact I don't have a bump. Other than the little bit of bloat, my stomach wall is flat. The baby has to be squeezing other organs out of the way -- simple physics, lol.

Yup at 1st I suffered with not being able to eat anything because of MS and now I cannot eat all of my dinner as I am just so full to the brim

 

[IsabellaJayne]

Yeah me!! I get full so quickly but Im hungry more periods throughout the day lol!

 

[Srrme]

I get full so fast, and I feel like a slug afterward.
