What is your appetite like?

quezzo · May 2011

After being starving every two hours a couple weeks ago, my appetite seems like it is back to normal, as in pre-pregnancy. What is everyone else experiencing right now with this? Still hungry all the time or eating like a normal person?

Same! Im usually starving about every 2 hours. Lately I've been eating larger meals so I havent been AS hungry during the day but I still have a pretty strong appetite.

I seem to be one extreme or the other - no normal. Last week I couldn't eat enough! So much so we planned a dinner date to the Melting Pot tonight. Now I'm back to no appetite at all. Snack here and there and I'm fine for the day. But trust me I will suck it up to enjoy my Melting Pot meal! I think normal is - there is not such thing as normal

I've been exactly the same. From weeks 16-18 I was starving all the time, to the point where I was actually sick of eating! I read that the baby goes through a growth spurt during that time, so it made sense. The funny thing was that even though I swear I was eating twice what I normally did, I only gained 2 lbd during that 3 week time span...my body must have really needed all that food for baby! Since then, I've felt really normal. Hopefully this will continue til the next growth spurt!

Still not quite where it was pre-pregnancy, but I've been noticeably hungrier the past couple weeks!

I don't know how it is possible but I am always hungry while having no appetite at the same time. Nothing sounds good and it's a struggle to decide what to eat but I always want to eat.

Ditto this!!! Last week I had no appetite and this week I'm ravenous all.the.time.

Mine is pretty much just like it was pre-pregnancy. I still kind of hate the taste of meat. If it tastes like the seasoning or a sauce then I'm ok with it, but if I get a taste of acual chicken, beef or pork I'm done. I hope that changes eventually.

This is exactly how my appetite is right now.

I'm pretty much back to normal. I went on a trip this weekend and we had 3 square meals a day, and I was fine without the constant snacks that had kept me going at home. I'm also not starving in the morning like I was before. It's a relief.

i hate that feeling, like your so sick of putting food in your mouth but you are still so ravenously hungry!! i eat something i think i want, then after i'm done i think of something else i think i would've wanted more and would've satisfied me more but now i've eaten and have to wait at least 3 hours before i try that...i'm calming down now with my appetite - THANK GOODNESS!

I'm doing fine. I'm eating smaller meals so it would go with the territory that I'm hungry more often.

But I pretty much want guacamole ALL the time.

Big ditto here! I always manage to eat WAY too many calories!

Recently, I am just up for my meals and fruit as a snack. I am not sure if it is the weather (getting warmer) and the baby seems to like pushing up against my stomach so I can only eat a little and on top of that I have some fun heartburn.

Ms.Hodge · May 2011

I am hungry all the time, but hope my appetite goes back to normal.

mollybloom · May 2011

I am constantly hungry, constantly. However, I get stuffed after eating very little. I think that the baby is pushing against my stomach in such a way that my stomach is restricted and can only take a small amount of food. Of course, that means that I am starving again in a short while.

ChrissyLonghorn · May 2011

My appetitie in first tri was out of control but since then it has been normal to low. I go have a few days every now and then when I want to eat all day but overall it is less than before.

Valerie323 · May 2011

Still hungry, I had bad m/s in the first-tri and well into week 17. I crave salads, mexican food, and fruit. Like someone else posted I think I am hungrier when I am working, maybe it's being engaged all day.

I could eat chips and salsa every single day of my life and probably for both lunch and dinner! Salt has been my friend during this pregnancy.

It's all over the place---trying really hard to make good choices!

Yes! Agreed! That is how I'm feeling...except for icecream...I'm always craving ice cream!!

I sometimes feel like I'm starving to death, but then I can only eat half of what I think I'm going to eat. It's weird.

spidermonkeymomma · May 2011

My appetite is barely non-existent. I am hungry for lunch (eat a salad & something else) but have to force down dinner most of the time. I always was hungry before pregnancy so this is so weird to me.

Mrs. Alice · May 2011

Since about 6-7 weeks my appetite was CRAZY. I sometimes had to eat something almost every hour or else I felt awful like I was going to vomit and pass out. I'd say the last 2-3 weeks have been a major improvement. I don't know if it's back to "normal" because I didn't eat very large quantities when I wasn't pregnant, but I can safely go 3-4 hours without eating anything and not feeling like I am going to die!

kc10408 · May 2011

I am still having days where I just can't decide on what to eat cuz the thought of food makes me sick. Im much better than say 2 months ago but I have my moments where Im very picky about what I eat.

tblauvelt · May 2011

My appetite has immensley gone down since the first tri.. I was always hungry then. I think I've gone back to my pre-pregnancy appetite but add in a few sweets here and there.
