Did anyone lose their appetite?

MarcieCasavant

Okay, so here I am at 24 weeks and allof the sudden my appetite has gone down hill dramatically. Even last week I was still in pig out mode. Do you think it has anything to do with being on bedrest? I could go all day without eating. I am worried. I'veonly gained 12 pounds so far to begin with and I feel like I need to keep packing the food in the give these 3 babes a good shot and a layer of fat. Any opinions?

I've just been eating normally as I did prior to pregnancy and maybe a little self-indulgence in some other things, but you're weight puts MINE to shame...   I probably would mention it to the Dr. once you see him...if he's not to concern then your babies are probably doing fine and if he is I'm sure he can guide you in the right direction- GL

My suggestion would be to drink your calories. Ensure shakes, milk shakes, Carnation Instant Breakfast. And keep plenty of snacks close at hand. If the food is right there next to you, you are more likely to eat it.

 Truly, keep gaining. You have a good start, but don't stop now!

I have!  I hate eating it seems like a chore.  Nothing sounds good, I have no cravings and there are days that I go home and think "what did I eat today"

Like yesterday I had a bowl of cherrios for breakfast (6 am), a banana around 11, a PBJ for lunch and yougurt at 2-3ish...that is eating NOTHING compared to most 

I had my first "big" weight gain between appts today...a whole wapping 4 lbs in 2 wks!  I am up 20 total from the start and only have 10 or less weeks left.

I feel like there's no room for any food in there!  I'm starting to be able to eat full meals again, but most of the time, I eat half.

You lasted so much longer than I did and you have triplets.  At about 19 wks I just couldn't eat my normal full meal.  Now I eat about 2/3 of what I used to in a regular meal and try to snack in between a lot to keep my sugar up and the calories on track.  It is tough b/c I am so tiny and there is just no room left in my body it feels like but I think I'm on target.

Hi marcie!!! So glad to hear everything is going well for you! How scary is it to fall when pregnant....or do the splits....holy crap I would be a wreck! I'm glad you are on BR....I'm sure it sucks for you but that's the best place to be! I was totally the same with eating. My doc said to expect it since your tummy is being smushed (is that how you spell it?!) and you are running out of room in there. How far do they want you to go? Do you have a C sceduled yet? HOW EXCITING!!!! I admire triplet moms like you wouldn't believe! You will do great!!!!

Thanks. My OB said she'd be glad for me to make it to 32 weeks but I would love to make it to 34 as that would mean less NICU time. They haven't scheduled anything yet and won't until I'm a bit further as they said it wouldn't really be ethical to schedule anything before a full term date unless there eas something wrong. They said I will probably just start going downhill then be sectioned , in so many word. here is the link to my blog if you feel like following. Take care

I lost my appetite too at about 25 weeks. I only gained 25lbs throughout my whole pregnancy. My doctors were not concerned because they babies were still gaining. He thinks that I was losing weight while they were gaining. They were 6lbs. 7oz. and 6lbs 9oz. I would not be worried about your weight gain unless your doctor has cause for concern. I would speak to your doctor about this. GL!

yes. It disappeared around 21.5 weeks...I drank a lot of protein shakes and ate a lot of cheeesburgers (Fries were banned..no protein)..I lost 10 pounds while on hospital BR and then only gained 3 back in the next 7 weeks that I remained pg...I gained a total of 27 pounds....which sucks b/c my girls were small.
