My appetite is ridiculous!

SpartanChick88SpartanChick88 member
in 2nd Trimester

I eat breakfast, usually just a couple yogurts and a piece of fruit depending on the day (today I had an egg and Canadian bacon sandwich - weird, I hate eggs) and a decent lunch.  Yesterday I hit the salad bar at Jason's Deli.  By dinner time, I'm done.  I'm not hungry and have no interest in food at all.  Last night DH convinced me to at least eat some soup.  I don't understand why food holds no interest for me after lunchtime?

I need to be hungry tonight... I have maple chipotle chicken marinating in the fridge, baked potatoes and grilled marinated veggies.  I want to eat tonight but I'm afraid that if I eat lunch I won't want food again.  Am I the only one with a messed up appetite??

    I wish I could second that.  I feel full alot and especially when it is hot.  My mother-in-law spent this whole weekend asking me if I was okay because I am not really hungry for food.

    Must be baby is getting bigger and you have less room for food. With the trio the only way I could eat was to have 6 or so very small meals a day. With this pregnancy my appetite just kicked in over the last week, before that I had a horrid time eating.

    This was me last week - around 19 weeks.  I thought I was going to eat the flippin' couch at one point.  Poor dh practically went broke bringing me food.  Fortunately I've leveled off a little this week.  What was interesting was I could tell LO had hit a growth spurt - I was way more plump, had trouble sitting upright and bending over, I finally had to graduate to maternity pants, etc.  And that same week I started feeling movement for the first time.

    Me too! I'm thinking baby must be having a growth spurt. Thats what I'm going with anyway.

    I did the 20-21 week growth spurt where I was eating non stop.  Now, not so much.  I am wondering if LO is starting to push into my stomach because the heartburn has been getting bad again.  I will try eating just a little here and there and see if that helps.  I'm  just so darn excited about my dinner tonight.  I wish I could eat it now so I know I will have room, but DH isn't home and I just put the veggies in to marinate so they aren't ready anyway.

    Mine has been weird. I don't always feel hungry, but I can eat- but only 1-2 meals a day. The rest is a bowl of cereal or a yogurt, etc. If I know I have a big dinner, I really have to make sure I eat breakfast, then a light lunch!

    This is a little off topic but...I had Jason's Deli for the first time a couple days ago when I was visiting my sister in Iowa.  That place ROCKS!

    Yeah it does!  There's one right across the parking lot from work so I got here more than I should.  And, especially when you're pregnant, the salad bar is the best deal!  I don't think they liked me too much since I just sat there and ate and read my book... and then ate some more!

    This is totally me as well! I haven't had any crazy cravings, but have to have the same thing for breakfast and lunch every day or I get mad (crazy, I know). But then by dinner, nothing appeals to me. It's frustrating me to tears - I was even told I dropped a few pounds at my appt this week (25 wks). My doc told me that if I can't eat a "real" dinner, to make sure I eat a high quality cereal (which I'll do sometimes) or something like Ensure. It's nice to know that I'm not the only one who has next to no appetite for dinner foods :)
