Appetite loss anyone?

I'm 32 weeks as of Saturday, and as of Saturday night have almost no appetite after about 4:00. Poor hubby made a fantastic dinner last night and I took about 6 bites :(. Anyone else experiencing this?

  • I could only eat smaller meals around 30-34 weeks. After that, it's basically been:
    GIVE ME ALL THE FOODDDDD!!!!
  • I'm dealing with a little bit of appetite loss, probably due to feeling nauseated again this trimester :(

  • Yep. Nearly 33w and not hungry.

  • See my bottomless pit of hunger post, I'm at 36 weeks and eating everything, two/ three weeks ago not so much I had to force myself to eat small things and everytime I did eat I felt like I wedged it in. I think it had to do with the position of the baby, she is now a lot lower and my eating/hunger has steadily increased.
  • I'm losing mine too and a few of my aversions are returning. I asked my OB about this on Friday and he said it was totally normal for that to happen in this last stretch. Your stomach is getting more compressed, and especially if you're constipated/having heartburn, digestion has slowed way down. He said to just focus on lots of smaller meals and snacks throughout the day. Basically, 1st tri all over again in some ways.

  • I'm hungrier than ever (or I think I am at least) but it doesn't take much food for me to get full. I can usually eat only half my meal in one sitting, if that.

    Yep although my appetitie hasn't been great all pregancy as I never completely shook the nausea and it came back at 30 weeks worse. Also food aversions came back then so basically there isn't much at any given point I want to eat and I can't eat much at a time. At night I tend to have a larger meal (so normal sized) but typically regret it as my stomach is too cramped to take it. I just try to have balanced snack like meals 4 times a day- usually I have a protein smoothie as one which helps.

  • I have off days. I more than make up for it on the on day.

  • I'm 33 weeks as of Saturday and definitely don't have too much of an appetite. After lunch, I tend to bloat up like a freaking balloon so even by dinner time I'm not that hungry. Last night I ate green beans for dinner and ice cream for dessert. I cannot STOP eating ice chips though. I'm at work now and all I can think about is how desperate I am for some ice!!!

     

  • I wish I had loss of appetite. Maybe things will slow down soon since I am just now around 33 weeks. I don't want to not eat by any means, but I would love to be able to not eat everything in sight.

  • Yep, 32 weeks here. I started to get some acid reflux, nausea, and food aversions to add to my list.
  • ya I get full fast! I'm
    kinda glad lol
  • I get full quickly, but then I'm hungry again a few hours later. I think it's because our stomachs are getting compressed.
  • I'm a weird one in that I've had no appetite all three trimesters. My heartburn has been horrific.

    This last month, I've lost a total of 6 pounds on the scale but the LO has grown like a weed and is scary big (9#9oz estimated last week). I think he's eating me alive! I'm burning calories just trying to walk!
  • I'm swinging from starving and eating everything in sight for a couple of days to not eating :(

  • I am 33 weeks and just hit a wall of non eating which I have never experienced in my life:). I blame the acid relflux and squished stomach. Hoping it lets up soon. Food is one of my happy things about being pregnant!
  • I have to force myself to eat three meals a day let alone the snacks that the endocrinologist insists upon. I usually skip the snacks and would have skipped dinner tonight if DH didn't get so upset about it. I'm just not hungry :(
