3rd Trimester

Decrease in appetite?

Anyone notice a decrease in appetite? I didn't eat dinner last night because I just wasn't hungry at all. I figured I'd wake up this morning starving but again, not much of an appetite.

Re: Decrease in appetite?

  • My appetite seems to ebb and flow.  Right now I'm ravenous and a bottomless pit, but other times, I could go without eating lunch/dinner.

    I wonder if it has to do with available space and baby growth spurts

  • I notice the same thing, I just snack when I am "not hungry" because I need to eat (I am hypoglycemic) also my hubby tells I "better not be starving the baby!!" lol so even when I am not hungry I'll have a spoon of peanut butter for protein or some veggies
  • I've had a low appetite for the past week or so, think a lot of it's due to the heat we've been having. I'm eating more snacks than a full meal; and I haven't had any heartburn so far, so it's not like I'm trying too hard to avoid overeating.

  • I have been feeling that way too. I think it started last week or maybe a little before, I am eating so little! I asked my dr yesterday and he said not to worry, and just eat when I feel like it.

  • I've been like this in sprits.  One day I can hardly force food down then the next day I eat everything in my house.

  • This happened to me last week.  I could barely force more than a few bites down at each meal.  I was just never hungry.  (This doesn't happen much for me, so I definitely thought something was up).  But this week, everything is back to normal.
  • The past couple of weeks I've felt like this too.  I can never eat a lot at once, at dinner I'll eat a couple of bites and then feel full.  Nothing like the beginning of 3rd tri where I was eating everything in sight!!!  My doctor said not to worry, it's normal since the baby is getting so big, just to make sure what I do eat is healthy.

    Exactly this. 

  • Mine plummets throughout the day.  I feel like I'm starving at breakfast, eat a decent lunch, but by dinner I only want a few bites of whatever we have.  I'm eating like my toddler.  Great. *sigh*

  • Its weird for me... I'll be completed fine, not hungry at all then WHAM im starving.. I could literally be fine for hours and then the hunger sets in quick.. Im used to gradually becoming hungry but now it just goes from no appetite to famished in seconds..
