Why dont I eat as much as I use to?

in 1st Trimester
Whenever I go out to eat or even make dinner at home I notice a change. I don't eat as much as I would before I got pregnant. I cant even finish a salad anymore. Why is this? I'm 8 weeks and 2days Pregnant. Is it normal to be like this?

    I notice this too.  Sometimes I don't feel hungry like I used to and I have to eat something small bc I know I am eating for two!

    I'm the same way in pregnancy. My second pregnancy was by far the worst for it, but I definitely get full more quickly. I think it's a good thing!

    I have the opposite problem, where I'm starving ALL THE TIME and if I don't eat pretty often, I start to feel nauseated. Just make sure you're eating healthy foods and getting enough to eat!

    I'm having the same experience. I think our bodies are beginning to change, and our organs are moving upwards " Making room for baby". I found a video that may help.

    Im also going to post this video for the other bumpies

    It's probably morning sickness or food aversion.

    I'm at this point now.  I can be starving and order food at a restaurant or make a big dinner at home.  When it comes time to eat, I can only eat a little bit.  Some of it is food aversion because I'm having an incredible aversion to meat right now.  I can eat burgers, but not a hunk of meat on a plate (i.e., steak, chicken, etc).

    I just want to make sure baby is getting what he/she needs, though, so I've been trying to eat a lot of veggies, fruits and get my protein from other places other than meat.

    I'm not eating as much as usual either - I just feel full faster. But it seems like I get hungry again quicker than usual, so I guess throughout the course of the day I'm eating a similar amount.
