No appetite!

Skatcher4 · October 2014

I'm 16 weeks and still have no appetite!! This once food lover (and watcher of overeating) has to force herself to eat, especially later in the day. I have lost about 12 since pre-baby and can't seem to eat enough to gain or even maintain weight. Anyone else experiencing the same thing... And no I am not nauseous at all anymore just don't want to eat. Advice??

I'm in the same boat. I have had no nausea or MS but very little appetite. My doctor told me it's normal. If you are worried about it, call your OB and I'm sure they will reassure you.

Ajacot- I already have. She told me it is fairly normal for some women but by my next visit if I lose more weight she wants me drinking ensure! I really don't want to drink that crap.

Omg me either. Just made 17 weeks. I complain to husband and family that I'm hungry but no appetite at all. I don't know what to eat. I used to devour what ever I wanted pre pregnancy. I'm not really nauseas or anything but just no appetite. I thought it was just me! I haven't gained 1 pound since being pregnant. I was beginning to feel like I was developing an eating disorder. Smh hubby has to force me. Brings me all kinda of things smh it's such a struggle! I'll pray that things get better for the both of us. It's bitter sweet to hear that someone else is also experiencing this bcuz I just can't stand it!

I'm glad I'm not alone in this... And hopefully it will get better! My husband has to force me too! He even argues (I know he just want me to be healthy for me and LO) and tries to find all sorts of things to get me to eat. I am hungry like you said (sometimes) but nothing is appealing.

I'm kind of in the same boat. I had a rough 1st trimester and lost about 10lbs. My appetite is pretty much back to normal, with a bad day sprinkled here and there. But I'm still not at the weight my OB would like to see. If I don't gain a pound a week between now and Oct. 27, they'll come up with some kind of plan... I didn't ask what that would entail.

I had a rough 13 weeks not being able to eat anything, but I'm back to normal now and it is glorious! I hope it passes for you!!!

I am 19 weeks. Up until this point I had zero appetite and everything that I did eat tasted really gross. A few days ago I couldn't eat enough. The hunger just hit me like a train. I can't eat enough now.

I lost 14 lbs due to HG. Now at 17 weeks I still have some minor nausea occasionally but the vomiting had subsided a lot. However the appetite is still quite blah. Mostly after 2 months of grossness, I'm scared of all foods but knowing I need to gain some weight back and need some diet to keep the digestive system moving along I just take bites of food. I'm still mostly hungry but just don't want to eat.

I can relate to this for sure. 18 weeks, and eating has felt very mechanical/unnatural for me for most of this pregnancy. Feels like every bite is an effort and I have to concentrate on getting things down. Just recently it's let up a bit, but I still have a fear of eating the wrong thing and feeling sick. I've gotten less stringent on trying to eat super healthy... I figure anything edible is better than nothing at all, especially since I'm taking my prenatal vitamin religiously.

I know exactly how you feel. I went to the doctor on Monday and I lost a few pounds. This is crazy because I couldn't loose any weight before I got pregnant. I'm 16 weeks and 3 days pregnant and I have no appetite. Like you said, I have to force myself to eat and when I do... I try to make good choices like spinach, grilled chicken, etc. But, after a few bites I don't want it anymore. This is my 4th pregnancy and I've never experienced nausea or no appetite. I hope my appetite comes back before Thanksgiving!
