lack of appetite

I'm in my 12th week of my 1st pregnancy. Naseau has subsided over the last 2 weeks. However, I have very little appetite. I eat because I know I need to, but rarely am hungry or have any cravings. I'm concerned as I haven't gained weight... or I'm up a couple, down a couple. Anyone else experiencing this? 

Re: lack of appetite

  • I was same way with both pregnancies and I had a lot of food aversions.  It got better for me as I got further into my 2nd trimester but the thought of eating chicken was unappealing the entire pregnancy!  Don't be concerned about weight yet, I am 16 weeks now and have only gained maybe 1 lb and last time at 20 weeks I hadn't even gained 5 lbs yet.  Make sure you take your prenatal vitamins and you are at least trying to eat healthy when you can!  If you are really concerned you can always call your doctor, I am sure they would rather you ask than worry :)

  • I love food.  I love it entirely tooooo mmmuuuuuch.  But this week, it seems that I eat a grand bowl of cereal in the morning consisting of capn crunch or lucky charms and then the idea of food the rest of the day just isn't appealing.  I have never felt that way about food in my entire life.  I had to make myself eat half a chick fil a sandwich at 2pm (one of my fav things ever and BLECH today) then I made a big pot roast in the crock pot w/ mashed potatoes & sweet corn.  The smell of the roast made me want to gag so I just ate a little corn and mashed potatoes.  So weird.  I only had morning sickness for two weeks and I didn't really have aversions.  Meat sounds gross now.  Pre-pregnancy I could stand to lose 50 pounds, so I'm not terribly concerned that I've lost 7 so far since my BFP and neither is my doctor.  But, I was eating everything in sight up until this week and I look HUGELY pregnant.  I could probably drink 2 gallons of water a day now and still be thirsty along with daily heartburn from hell. 

    Weird little alien baby!
