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?
Re: Not hungry?
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.
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...
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.
