How's your appetite since baby was born?

mbkohn · October 2009

Mine is non existant. I'm not sure if it's because I'm so tired and running around taking care of her all day/night, because I'm stressed over family stuff, because I'm still on pain killers from my c-section and they are killing my appetite, or because it's just my body regulating itself after 9 months of eating ravenously.

What's your experience been like?

loooow. I could go all day without eating. Definately not healthy.

I wasn't hungry much until about six weeks... now it's finally settling down. But I think that was just me though... at six weeks I returned to work and went back to three meals a day.

rocknrollmommy · October 2009

just depends on the day and what i've been doing. she's 11 weeks old now so i think i'm just back to where i was pre-pregnancy

My appetitie was really low until about 3 weeks, I was concerned as I am EBF and had heard that I should have a big appetite, however since then I am eating much more.

This. Most days I only eat 1 meal, usually lunch or supper, hardly ever both. Definately not healthy, but I'm just never hungry anymore!

I'm having a hard time eating. I'm already back into my pre-pregnancy jeans at 2w PP. Ya, definitely not healthy but I'm trying to eat more now, at least more often.

Believe me, it comes back with a freaking vengeance.

No appetite. I have to force myself to eat. Soo different from pregnancy!

I rarely ate for the first 6 weeks. I swear she knew when I would sit down to eat and that is always when she woke up regardless if she when down 10 minutes or 3 hours earlier. Things are better now that I am back at work and I have the time, but I am still not as hungry.

I don't eat because I don't have time to.

hmarsano · October 2009

I didn't have much of one at the beginning either. Now, I'm back to my ravenous state

DarrenandHana · October 2009

I've found I still have my appetite, but I don't eat as much at each sitting. I eat about 5-6 small meals or snacks instead of 3 big ones...

BeanieWeanie · October 2009

I also didn't eat much for the first 3 weeks or so coz I just wasn't hungry. Now I'm starving most of the time!

ruthie oct3 · October 2009

I was like that the first week or so. One day I realized I never had lunch and it was 5:00. I try now because I know its not healthy. I am the same way with water. There are also days that I hardly drink - which is also not good for BF.

I still don't have an appetite. It makes me wonder how the hell I ate so much when I was pregnant.

Shlei · October 2009

Mine used to be non-existent when I was trying to find my groove. Now that I have my groove I am pretty hungry and very thirsty...I think BF has something to do with that.
