Loss of Appetite

[x-amy-x]

Hello, Just me again...

Since having my baby I don't seem to have any appetite at all. I can go for ages without having anything to eat. The only reason i do eat is because my tablets have to be taken with or after food.

Not eating does take its toll on me, i find myself getting shaky when my blood sugar levels get too low. I'm just confused as to why my stomach doesn't feel hunger anymore. Is this normal?

As well as losing my appetite i've gone of certain foods too, namely dairy products. This is probably cause i drank excessive amounts of milk when i was pregnant and im now sick of it.

Just wondered if it was normal to feel like this or if i should speak to my HV about it?

Thanks girlies

When i was in my 1st tri, i was concerned by having no appetite. Then again at the start on the 2nd tri. My MW told me this is very common and normal and usually up2 6weeks after the birth you will have not appetite again due to hormones ect

I lost me appetite during pregnancy, but it came right back with a vengence after the birth. Maybe after your body starts to recover your appetite will come back x

I have ZERO appetite. All I do is drink tea all day.

Mine never returned. I barely eat one meal a day.

My appetite always went out the door after birth.

Yep same here. I'm just not hungry. The thought of food isn't appealing anymore. Although yesterday we went out and were a bit drunk, everyone wanted to grab mcdonalds... Had a hard time to resist

I managed my first full meal today, well almost. The biggest ive managed to eat so far. It's just hard to want to eat, i have to eat with my tablets 4 times a day... im just so sick of having to eat... complete opposite of what i was like when i was pregnant!

Yeah hehe, maybe it's our bodies way of getting out stomachs back to normal size after everything we ate during pregnancy
