No appetite?

[Rachel89]

Hi everybody

I was ravenous until just now. I am only 6 weeks but I do not have an appetite anymore, but I am hungry. I have to force myself to eat. While the past 3 weeks (found out at 3 weeks and 2 days that I was pregnant) I was eating constantly and even gained 5 lbs. But now it is so hard!

When I do eat, I eat light. Like a sandwhich or soup and some fruit.


Anyone else have this?

I had that through parts of first tri. When I would think about eating, my stomach felt like it would harden like a rock and I wouldn't be able to eat at all. I lost a couple pounds, which my OBGYN said is okay in the first tri. It eventually started going away, but I do still get it every once in a while.

I have that too. At first I was hungry all the time but then as soon as I hit 6 weeks I began to have food aversions. Now sometimes when I think about eating something I'm not "craving" my throat tightens and I feel like I'm going to gag if I put the food I detest in my mouth. I had a hard time today finding something that I actually felt like eating. I think as long as you're snacking and snacking frequently you will get enough calories in a day rather than shoveling down 3 large meals. I've already gained a few pounds as well too from eating little things all day long.
