Do you eat alot?

I have no appetite lately.  DH and I had brunch around 10:30 and I had half an omelette and a couple of bites of a pancake, and I haven't really been hungry since then.  Do you force yourself to eat even when you're not hungry?  At this point everything I read says I'm supposed to eat 5-6 small meals throughout the day.

    usually i eat like a line backer...i'm assuming they eat a lot. but i haad a day like that yesterday...just had no appetite. wasn't about to force myself to eat and feel miserable. baby takes what baby needs, so i'm sure your appetite will return shortly :)

    I am eating fairly regularly now- my appetite went WAY down for a few weeks, but now is pretty much back on track.

    I have been craving fruits and veggies though- so some "meals" are just fruits! ....And now, I want another clementine... haha

    I wouldn't worry about it too much. I certainly don't force it if I'm not hungry. Baby will take what they need from you, so unless you were anorexic to start with there shouldn't be a problem. Sorry you don't feel like eating. That kinda takes all the fun out of it.

    My butt would answer you with a resounding YES. My appetite came back with a vengeance around week 16.

    There are days when the hours go  by and I don't feel hungry at all. I don't 'force' myself to eat because what usually happens is that in a day or two, I go through a phase in which I'm starving every 2 1/2 hrs and I have to set four hour limits for myself! lol

     My advice would be if you're not hungry, eat when you are....I mean unless you're trying to go through the day with JUST breakfast then I'd snack on fruit and other items that are nutritious!

    HA!!  This made me giggle.  Maybe I'm just having an off week.

    I have some days where I can't stop eating and some days where I feel like I barely eat at all. ?Today is one of the latter. ?DH is making us dinner and I amnot hungry at all. ?But I'll have to eat something since he went through all the effort. ?What a guy! :)

    But I wouldn't worry too much if you don't have an appetite all the time. ?I think baby goes through growth spurts (times when we're hungrier) and stagnant periods (times when we're not hungry at all). ?It'll all even out in the end.?

    Just depends on the day.  Some days I can't eat enough, others just not hungry.  I think it might also have something to do with how much you are drinking too

    I eat pretty regularly now! Thank goodness, because it wasn't always like that.

    I think I had a larger appetite during 1st tri, but I am gaining more regularly now.  I guess my appetite comes and goes.  I do not force myself to eat though.

    No, I'm not really hungry.  And if I do eat a normal sized meal at lunch, then I'm full until bedtime.  Uncomfortably full.

    I only eat when I feel hungry and that is usually 4 times a day or so.
