Can't Eat like I used to!

Britty685 · May 2010

I am really concerned about this. Ever since I got over the queasiness of my first glorious trimester, I can't eat as much as I used to. I can MAYBE eat half a burger and half an order of fries. Now if it was before my pregnancy, I would be like HECK YEAH! Major diet.

I needed to lose a few before I got pregnany. But is this okay that Im not eating as much? Is this normal? Confused

I was like that for a few weeks, I had little to no appetite and couldn't eat much.

Now I'm able to eat more then ever :P LOL

I'm like that as well. However, I also find that I'm hungry again in just a short amount of time. So I eat until I'm satisfied, then eat again when I'm hungry.

I had days where I'd have to force myself to eat even though I had no appetite. I'm sure it'll pass and you'll start eating normally...(now I can house twice as much food lol)

I'm like that too, I just get full faster, but I'm also hungrier sooner, so I think it's evening out.

I'm like that also.. I eat very little but I eat a lot through out the day...

but I'm also going through a weird craving right now. All that sounds even remotely appetizing is breakfast type food.. So that's all I been eating..
OH and coleslaw from KFC..

I've had the same problem too. I think some of it relates to being so sick, I don't think my tummy is quite back to normal. So heavier or spicier foods are a little much for me just yet. I also notice I eat way smaller portions than I used to..I'm really looking forward to being able to eat normally again!! I'll let you know when that finally happens....

I remember being like that for a little while...but now I can't get enough to eat! My husband remarked the other day that he can't keep up with me! The baby is getting plenty of nutrition so I wouldn't worry about your not being that hungry.

I know exactly how you feel. I am in the same place you are. I was super sick for 3-4 weeks and I still have a very small appetite because of it. My OB said that I lost weight from my last appointment and asked why. I told her it was from being super sick and that I still have a small appetite from it. She didn't seem too worried. But I'm hoping that as time goes on I'll get my appetite back. And I hope the same for you!

I was like that during first tri/beginning of second tri, even losing weight before I started to put any on. Since my 22nd week, I have not been able to get full! My appetite increased at least three fold. Now I have to munch on something all day. I think your appetite will eventually come back and with a vengeance.
