Anyone not have a huge appetite?

in 2nd Trimester

I've never been one to eat much during the day and being pregnant hasn't changed that. I feel like I'm not eating enough. Granted I'm a big girl so I was always told I shouldn't eat for 2 but I just find it strange I'm not eating more.

I'm not really a breakfast eater. I'll eat a normal sized lunch with milk usually and then dinner. Which because I wait for my husband to get home I don't eat till much later. I drink a good amount of water and milk during the day too.

Should I be concerned I'm not hungrier?

    I've noticed that my hunger goes in cycles. Some days I eat a lot, other days I don't.

    As long as you are eating a relatively normal amount and taking your PNVs I think you're fine.

    I'm not very hungry, either. Or I will feel hungry and not be able to finish a full meal. I contribute it to my fantastic acid reflux and the feeling that my stomach is being squished.

    I eat small snacks/meals throughout the day instead of three large ones.

    I have never been a big eater, even as a child. I really am not all that hungry now and had been hoping that would change. I usually just graze during the day on fruit, rice cakes, string cheese, etc. Then try and force myself to make sure I have a good size dinner. I've talked to both a nutritionist and my doctor and they said as long as the baby is weighing normal and I am eating, then not too worry.

    I don't feel like I eat alot. My DH is only 140 lbs and I still don't eat as much as him (and he's not a big eater at all). My mom is waiting to see if/when it will pick up.

    I'm in the same boat. I'm not as hungry as people expect me to be. And I hate feeling stuffed. However, I am thirsty all the time!

    I think as long as your gaining weight as you doctor suggests, you should be okay.

    I was considering posting this today too! Early in my first trimester I went through boughts of being famished all day. Now it's really toned down and I can pretty much feel satisfied with three meals a day. Glad to know I'm not the only one not wanting to stuff my face 24/7.

    I don't have a huge appetite either.  I graze all day so I don't have to eat a lot at any one meal.
