No Cravings or Appetite

Hello.. I'm a FTM 15 weeks along and I need to know if this is normal.. I am in my 2nd trimester and rarely have a "taste" or craving for any food. DH always asks me what I want to eat and I dread it... I can finally keep food down and have rid myself of nauseous... But I never have an a craving nor does most good sound good to me... And when I finally do eat something I can only eat a few bites.. Is this happening to anyone else???

Re: No Cravings or Appetite

  • Yep - I'm 18 weeks and going through the same thing - hit and miss day by day, sometimes I can eat regular and sometimes nothing sounds appealing at all.

  • Normal. This is my second and I've kind of learned what'll be edible and what will just make me feel worse.
    I'm 18 weeks and just talked to my doctor about my weight loss. She said to not to not worry. She knows patients who are so sick they lose a lot of weight and still have healthy 8+lb babies.

  • I'll be 16w tomorrow and I don't have much of an appetite either. It's difficult for me to decide what to eat because nothing sounds good. Unfortunately this is normal. It generally gets better further into the second tri. I was 20+ weeks with DS before I stopped throwing up and started wanting to eat more.

  • Ugh exactly this! It is driving me crazy and starting to get me down a little. Have lost so much weight because of it even though I try to force things down. I'm almost 16weeks and praying for my appetite to come back!
  • This comes & goes for me. Last week was a non-eating phase & this week I feel like everything sounds & tastes good. 
    This is exactly what I am going through. I have my days where nothing sounds good and I can barely take a few bites and then I'm done. Other days I can't get enough to eat.

  • Me too, you are not alone. I am having to resort to some junk type food just to get my calories, not that nice. I can't wait to find something that I don't want to turn my nose up at.

  • I'm in the same boat, not nausious, just nothing sounds appealing most of the time. I feel bad because poor DH and DS suffer. I usually end up eating a bowl of cereal and DH, who has a very limited repertoire of food he can cook, makes something for DS and himself :(
  • Same here

  • Yep! I go through extremes as well. I either want everything or nothing. Today I got a hamburger and fries and managed to eat half of the burger and a few of the fries. Dinner was Honey Nut Cheerios because that was all I could think of that I might be able to make myself eat.
  • Just a thought but have you had your Iron checked?. I had that issue with my DS, wasn't hungry at all had to force myself to eat something and it turned out my iron was really low and I had to take an iron pill on top of my PV. 
    I figure it is always better to be safe then sorry.
