Anyone else lose their appetite?

I can't really stand it anymore. I'm not losing weight, so not worried, but I just don't feel like eating. No morning sickness or anything, just nothing sounds good. I'm usually a fruit and veggie lover but the thought of either food group is a major turn off. Pasta seems to be the only thing I can talk myself into eating, and it doesn't have all that much nutritional value. Thank goodness for vitamins I suppose. Am I alone?

    I look forward to eating, sit down at the table and eat maybe 1/4 of my food and then lose my appetite.  I've started having to eat my meat first, to at least get some protein, when what I really want is the pasta.  Luckily salads are delicious right now, too.

     

    The other night H and my mom actually looked at my plate and tag-teamed me, saying "you need to eat 4 more bites of steak before you can leave the table".  I'm so bummed out, because normally I LOVE food and now I just don't want it.  It makes me cry sometimes (thanks, hormones).

    Nope, you're not alone! I went through the same thing about that time. I would be starving when I came home from work, but the smell of dinner made me not want to eat. So I'd have a bowl of cereal. I have a few extra pounds anyway and I ended up losing about 3 lbs that month, no biggie for the doctor! I still kept to taking my vitamins though.

    With #1, I ate nonstop, from beginning to end of pregnancy. With this one, I felt sick most of 1st tri, so most food didn't sound appealing to me (I mainly ate cereal and pasta). Now, food sounds good sometimes, but I can't eat a lot. Like pp, I can eat about 1/4-1/3 of what I normally eat. I chalk it up to baby pushing all my internal organs up into my stomach space.

    That sounds exactly right! I've been lucky enough not to puke at all and I'm on week 13 (thank God, I don't know how some of you ladies do it!!) But yea, nothing ever sounds good and pasta is mostly what I've been eating because it's the only thing that sounds decent! Of course before I was pregnant I wanted to eat all the time and everything sounded awesome but now that I actually have an excuse it's not workin out! lol Hopefully this will end soon!

    I had really bad m/s through 16 weeks.  Now I have to eat small meals every 2-2.5 hours or my blood sugar drops and I feel awful.  I have to plan out every day so I always have a protein and healthy sugar/carb source on a schedule, which makes my busy work schedule really fun.  I told DH yesterday that I'm sick of thinking of food.  Never thought I'd say that!

    i don't really have an appetite either. I'll eat because i have to but i usually don't eat much. i have some days where i find myself munching all day but some days i just take it slow, get the food in there and chug some water. 

    it doesn't help that i have really bad acid reflux right now. so getting full is an absolute no-no for me.

    This is for sure me! Last pregnancy I ate a ton and gained a ton of weight. This time I am still down. I have lots of extra weight in the first place... so hopefully its ok. I have an appointment later today so I will find out! But nothing sounds good! It's frustrating!

    Normally I always want to eat and often get cravings for things.  Lately I can't really find things I'm "in the mood" for.  I always make DH pick and then just find something that seems decent enough to eat.

    Yes :-( For awhile morning sickness kept me from eating, but now I have lost all interest in it. I LOVE food, and nothing sounds good come meal time. Nothing hits the spot. Fruit is about the only thing that I crave, but for a solid meal, I could really care less about eating. It's sad cause I love food lol.
