Appetite @ Night

Is it normal to not have an appetite at all for supper? I have to make myself eat supper most nights. Anyone else have this problem?

Re: Appetite @ Night

  • Ooo me too! I could eat 2 breakfasts but then never want dinner. Worst part is, then I'm hungry at 3am. I just try to have something small for dinner and then a healthy snack before bed.

  • This was me in the first trimester. It was because I was eating big late lunches. What pp said, just have a light healthy snack. I would eat a yogurt or bowl of cereal because I absolutely refuse to eat in the middle of the night.
  • I'm this way but with breakfast. Breakfast food is disgusting to me right now. I have to force myself to eat also
  • I would use everyone's recommendations! I am also in the same boat. I always sit with my son and husband at 6:15 when they eat dinner, but I find myself not wanting anything! I'm not sure if it will work for you or others due to some people getting heartburn if they eat before sleep, but that's all that works for me. I finally get hungry from 8:30-9 and that's when I eat. I should mention I've always been a night eater, so the heartburn isn't a problem. Good luck in trying to find a solution because you really don't want to skip meals, especially since you'll wake up in the middle of the night hungry and with everything else we are dealing with at night; I wouldn't want to add that to the list!
  • I never force myself to eat. As the baby gets bigger and my organs get more crowded I have less of an appetite. I might have a small snack instead of dinner but I find by the end of the day I feel bloated and don't want to eat. It was the same last pregnancy.
    I wouldn't force yourself.
