oddly small appetite?

So I'm kind of a big girl. Before I got pregnant I had a hefty appetite and even after I could still put some food down at first. But lately I've been getting super full without eating much at all. I went to a buffet with my mom the other day and I only ate one small plate. I didn't even get dessert! Lol. Then I just ordered pizza hut and I was only able to eat one slice and 4 boneless wings and I feel like I'm going to explode! It's not that I'm nauseous or anything I just feel like I can't fit one more thing in my stomach.

Anyone else having this?

Oh and I haven't eaten since 9am this morning so normally I would be really hungry by now.

    I don't know what happened, but I wrote a bunch more and it just poof deleted. I think it was just rambling and my pregnesia:fatigue aren't allowing me to rewrite it =))

    I've been hungrier than usual, but find I get full much faster than I did before, so I get it! I think the high levels of progesterone make me feel bloated when I eat too much, so it's much more comfortable to eat small meals and snacks!

    I'm a bigger girl also and I get very full very quickly! I'm 12 weeks so far and my husband gets mad at me because I can only eat half of things, so I make him eat the rest. I've lost 18 lbs with this pregnancy and I think my very small appetite is a huge part of that.

    I was never a big eater and I'm skinny to start with but my appetite is pretty much non existing and I can't get too much in my belly anymore used to be able to eat 2 sausages veggies and a starch now I'm barely eating half! I started out 144 lbs I'm 12 weeks pregnant down to 135 not even throwing up. I'm down to wearing size 4 pants... my husband is not understanding about it thinks it's all in my head. GL ladies

    Not alone ladies, I'm in the same boat. I'm a petite lady, but I actually can and do eat like a large man *yeah one of those* but lately I feel like I am hardly able to eat at all. I too have heard it's progesterone and such. I have only gained 1 lb so far which is still good I guess. However, when I'm hungry- I'm I NEED TO EAT RIGHT NOW...BUT ONLY HALF THAT MUCH.... hungry lol.

    This was sooooooo me with my first baby. It was impossible for me to eat big meals. This pregnancy is completely different. I could eat a whole cow

    This is definitely the norm. You may only be able to eat small portions but that just means having to eat more frequently. Just remember you're not literally eating for two and only need a few hundred extra calories a day when pregnant. So smaller meals won't mean baby is lacking whatsoever. It gets worse the more baby fills up the belly lol.

    I thought about it and I think it might be because in the beginning I would get super nauseous if I got too hungry so I would eat little snacks every couple hours. Maybe I just got used to doing that so I can't eat full meals anymore.
