No appetite

[Googiepie]

Did anyone experience no appetite in their first trimester? With my first, I was so hungry this time around I have to force myself to eat. I either feel full right away or sick. I'm worried something is wrong. My first appt isn't till sept. 18th.

I have been exactly the same as you. This is my first and I have always heard of women having cravings, and putting on weight during pregnancy but had never heard of the opposite. From about 6 weeks I went right off food, I ate only because i knew I needed to for bubs but not because i was hungry- I just wasn't.
Even now at 24 weeks I am still feeling pretty much the same, except now I do get hungry but when i eat I can't eat my 'normal' portion of food anymore. For some women it gets better and they have a really healthy appetite, but I am 7kgs down from what I was at the start of this pregnancy and I don't think I will be back to normal until afterwards.
The doctors were not worried, just wanted to make sure that I am eating my main meals at least, I am sure the same will be said for you

Same here! Worst is my nausea sometimes feels like hunger so I make myself something then I can't eat it. My main meal at night you'll be lucky if I ate half of it. Second and third trimester I eat everything on sight haha!

I get like that too, sometimes. Or I find I get really full up really quickly.

I have noticed I'm not really hungry at all, which is weird for me I'm usually always up for a snack. I've been making myself eat but I feel so full and sick after I think I need to just slow down.

I've always heard you want to do nothing but eat in the first trimester...I'm only just 4 weeks so I'm nervous something is wrong!

I'm 11 weeks and have been off my food since week 6, when the nausea kicked in. I have hyperemesis, but just try and eat little and often. More importantly, make sure you are getting fluids down you. Don't worry!

I'm a little over 5 weeks and I constantly feel like I don't want to eat. Once in a while I get cravings, but I don't eat nearly as much as I used to. I always worry that I'm getting stressed and that's causing me to lose my appetite even more.

I have too. I have not yet experienced this huge urge to eat, so far my appetite's been normal or the opposite!

I did not eat much to start with felt sick and tired from 5 weeks but around 9 weeks the sickness eased and eating helped keep it off. I eat little and often now but eat plenty of fruit. I find when i let myself get empty i feel sick and faint. Everyones different. Dont worry xx

I find my appetite is half of what it used to be. I have to force myself to eat, otherwise I'd feel too full and not eat anything. I think the bloating feeling has a lot to do with that, and the mild nausea. And I'm one that really loves my food!

I lost appetite since 4 weeks until now 11 weeks. My ob does not concerned. I feel sick after meal these few days and I have nausea every now and then but no vomit so far. Knock on wood! I feel better when I eat out with friends.....what an excuse! ;-) I lost a couple of kg and has not come back yet. I think it's normal. It's tough but I won't complain. I like to get slimmer before start gaining weight. I'm scared to gain too much weight coz I tend to have swollen face when I get extra few kg

Me too. With my first pregnancy my appetite was fine. This time round I can't finish meals as I feel either sick or full up really quickly!

Hope it stops soon, I love my food! However my craving for pickled onions has returned! Lol
