2nd Trimester

Anybody not hungry and worried your not eating enough for the baby?

Im 16 weeks and im just not that hungry. I do eat when im hungry but I feel like im not eating enough. I have a doctors appointment next week and im going to talk to my doctor and check my weight with there scale. On my scale im not gaining any weight but at my last appointment i did gain weight on their scale. Any advice? Oh and this is my first pregnancy!

Re: Anybody not hungry and worried your not eating enough for the baby?

  • Advice for what? There doesn't appear to be any problem here, as your doctor hasn't mentioned any issues, right? And the baby is healthy? I'm a sufferer of HG. Around 16 weeks I was down at least 12-13lbs, I lost a total of 15-16lbs. I'm 24 weeks, still ill, and I'm still 7lbs from my pre-pregnancy weight. My baby is healthy and growing just fine. My doctor said since my baby is fine, my weight is not an issue right now. Once I hit third tri, they do want to see a bit of weight gain, but not to obsess over it.

  • I'm a first time mum too and I'm 24 weeks. When I first got pregnant I was 53kg and am now 59kg. The whole thing of your eating for two now is bull. You will start to find your self getting hungrier and wanting to eat more but your fine. Eat when your hungry and eat the amount you want. But if your still stressing about it talk to your doctor they give you the information you need and will reassure you :)
