Don't have an appetite like I did in the first and second trimester

rpergolese · June 2015

I'm 28 weeks pregnant and I'm finding that I don't really have an appetite like I did in the first and second trimester? Anyone else feel like that as well? My doctor told me to eat 5-6 small meals a day instead of 3 large meals. Anyone else see a different in their appetite???

29 weeks just started slowing down...thank god the last 2 dr visits I had put on 10lbs each visit.

I've had an appetite that cannot be satisfied this entire pregnancy. I'm constantly hungry!

I was so hungry my first and second trimester! And now that I'm in the third trimester I barely have an appetite at all. My doctor appointment is in 2 weeks hopefully it will start to pick up again

Don't feel bad, I've gained 10lbs between visits too. It's shocking when you feel like you were just there. I'm noticing now I get really uncomfortable after normal size meals, so I'm going to cut back for my comfort.

I definitely don't have a big appetite! And I've noticed that after I eat about 1/3 of a chicken breast or any type of meat that I can't eat it anymore...I start gagging and it just grosses me out..it mostly happens when it's not dried out so I'm guessing it's a texture thing.

Baby starts crowding your organs including your stomach and makes it harder to eat big meals. I will get really hungry and then by halfway through the meal, I'm stuffed!

That's exactly how I am !

I'm the complete opposite. No appetite first tri, slight appetite second tri, RAVENOUS third tri. This is my first pregnancy, and the main thing I've learned is that there are a lot of variations to "normal."

Mine is finally leveling off. Thankfully!

I haven't had much of an appetite either. Glad to hear that I am not alone. I have still been eating but feel like my portions aren't what they were

FTM, so I havent had experience, but I did have a taper in my appetite and the doctor said this is normal. She told me that 3rd tri especially around 32 weeks my appetite wont be what it has been and as long as I still had one im good. Also, nutrition nut here...5-6 small meals a day is a good routine for life not just pregnancy!

I don't know about anyone else, but for me I think it is heat related. I can't eat nearly as much in the summer as I can in the winter, pregnant or not. I would way rather load up on fruit and berries than a steak & potatoes at this point. I'm just trying to be mindful of nutrition. Finding ways to be sure I get the protien, vitamins and fiber I need. Homemade popsicles are fun, mix pureed fruit and some Greek yogurt, or coconut water with honey... Very tasty and not too filling for a hot summer day.

My appetite changes daily! Most of the time I eat small-ish meals/snack on and off through the day, and that seems to work. However, today I am starving!! I am also really tired, so that may have a lot to do with it. I've just come to realize that every day is different!

32 weeks and my appetite has definitely slowed down. Weight gain has also plateaued in the last month, where I had been steadily gaining a pound a week for a while. Doctor says it's normal for some, just depends on your body. Others gain less at first/are less hungry and then get much more hungry later.
