Loss of Appetite

mitchip

19 weeks today and for the past week or so I have little to no appetite. When I do eat, I eat a few bites and then I feel stuffed to the point of wanting to vomit. 

I'm assuming this is normal, but again, ftm so I question everything.

It’s normal but it suuuuuuucks. There’s less space in your body for your own organs now, including your stomach, so feeling full fast is definitely a thing. 

I’m still dealing with nausea too. Nauseous when I haven’t eaten enough, nauseous if I eat too much. Super fun!

mitchip

Yes! I still have that too.

Full belly sucks.  I try to do little things like scoop of PB to keep adding “healthy calories” but so full all the time.  We are only halfway too…

You could try a little apple cider vinegar in water. I find everything digesting so slowly makes me feel full but adding some more acid helps. Rather than antacids that just make it worse for me.

Interesting. A friend of mine does acv shots (like a shot glass of it). 

My digestion has been a nightmare! I hate the taste tho. Wonder if I can chase it with pickle juice. lol.

@mitchip You could make a fruit shrub there are lots of recipes online. It's a mixture of fruit, sugar and vinegar. Infact now I've remembred about them, I picked some blackcurrants yhe othet day and I'm going to make one.

There are lots of ACV gummies available now and they don’t taste like vinegar. Certainly check the ingredients and check with your dr, but that might be a way to get the vinegar in without the taste.

I’m feeling super full the past few days as well, making me snack less. The AVC sounds interesting- has anyone tried it and worked?

It's completely normal to have fluctuations in appetite during pregnancy, especially as your body adjusts. I advise you to try the 3-day fruit diet, it suggests a short-term plan focusing on fruits for detox and weight management. Always prioritize a balanced diet that supports both your health and your baby's development.
