Loss of appetite

[pirate1974]

Hey ladies
im 17 + 2 and have only gained 3.6 lbs so far. I thought by this far into the pregnancy, I would be hungry all the time and start piling on the lbs. But the opposite has happened, i'm not very hungry or interested in eating. when in the 1st tri i would get nauseous if I went a while without eating, now my body is just fine without me eating. Is this normal? I haven't uppped my calories at all this trimester bc my doctor told me not to. Also I started at a normal weight. thoughts? anyone else like me?

I have to remind myself to eat almost daily. I lost a total of 6kgs from 4-15wks. Now i am staying the same. Baby will be ok and if your dr is happy then dont worry your appetite will come back....eventually lol

I find myself hungry but don't enjoy eating anymore. Like you, I'm not getting sick from not eating like I did first tri. I try to just snack throughout the day and don't eat meals per se. I'm 21 weeks and still down 4lbs from pre-pregnancy weight, though you wouldn't guess from looking at my belly.

Ditto... except I think I've gained. I usually have a high protein Boost or two throughout the day because I get unnecessarily concerned about making sure LO gets vitamins and minerals.

It could be because it's summer that you have a loss of appetite. I normally get that every summer, where I don't eat as much during that time. It was the same when I was pregnant with my son (I was 1st tri with him during the summer months, hardly any MS). With this one, horrible MS during 1st tri, so I didn't eat as much, and now since I've entered my 2nd tri, MS has let off, and there are days where I'm not as hungry as other days. I think it's because it's warm, and I don't feel like eating.
