Not hungry?

hope2432 · November 2012

Is anyone else having this problem? It has nothing to do with feeling nauseous or sick. I didn't really feel extremely bad during my first trimester. I keep expecting to have that starving feeling, but it just hasn't come! In fact, I'm never really hungry at all. I've gained about 4 pounds, and I'm not really showing yet. Should I be concerned or will it all come in time?

What would you have to be concerned about? Every woman is different and our bodies all handle being pg differently. As long as you are eating enough calories according to your Dr then you are fine.

I've gained two pounds. My doc told me to drink ensure when I was losing weight to help my protein intake. I eat less now than before I got pregnant. My doc told me that everything will start to pick up eventually and she wasn't concerned about my eating less.

Yeah, I guess you're right. I know everyone is different, but I guess it just makes me nervous that my symptoms seem to be the opposite of everyone elses...

Haha they need to create a "Pregnant and Paranoid" board, and I would live there.

I go through moments of being super hungry alternating with not being hungry at all. I'm still having trouble eating dinner cause it makes me feel blah..... Not sick, just..... I don't even know how to describe it! I have not gained any weight yet at 17 weeks even though I am definitely showIng, so we're all a little different!

This is apparently normal since so many of us are experiencing it. I go from STARVING to eating three bites and being stuffed. Nothing sounds good either. Tonight we went out for dinner and I couldn't get my food down. DH will have it for dinner tomorrow night. I had a few bites of his and a garlic knot. Then we went grocery shopping and I had a third of a can of peaches.

Here's why we don't take me grocery shopping: fruit snacks, ice pops, granola bars, and pickles were my contributions to the cart. Also the canned fruit. I felt like a little kid going "Can I get this?" and DH going through the ingredients and letting me since it was stuff made with real fruit. He wouldn't let me get the pixie stix...

Canned fruit actually sounds amazing right about now... Hmmm

I've gained about 8 lbs-I'm 16 weeks 2 days today. I have had no m/s at all throughout the pregnancy which has been a blessing. I eat very healthy, with some indulgences here and there..I need everything salty and sour! I go through the not really wanting to eat thing too though. Sometimes I can be starving, and others I'm like eh...I'm ok but force myself to have an apple or something bc I know it's been 5 hours since I've eaten. Sometimes food in general just sounds gross-especially meat-ensure is a really good substitute for your calories and protein.

I haven't really been hungry at all this whole pregnancy and then when I do it I feel full right away so I normally eat half my meal and then wait a half hour and eat the rest. I struggle with finding things that sound good. Nothing really sounds yummy right now and I still have a crazy sense of smell so even things I use to love make my gag. I am hoping this starts to get better as I am now in the 2nd tri.

I weight the same as pre pregnancy and some days I weight less. I don't think you have anything to be concerned about.
