Are you full?

Hey momma's out there. I have a few questions and want to see where yall stand on a few things. I was wondering in general if yalls stomach stays firm most of the time.. or is it softer? Also, even tho my bump is pretty small and baby is fine I feel like I can hardly eat. I feel overly full after only a few bites of lunch/dinner. Like I couldnt possibly fit anything else :( makes me miserable.

Re: Are you full?

  • Mine is firm all the time, worse after eating! I also can't eat much after breakfast, a few bites and I feel full!

  • Ok thank you. I am a FTM and wanted to see what other women are experiencing.

  • Yep, my belly is firm all the time and eating more than a few bites of anything can be painful. Your baby is growing and taking up more room in your abdomen so its smooshing your stomach and making it harder to eat a lot in one sitting. I pretty much spend my entire day snacking on stuff... pretty sure people are looking at me like I couldn't possibly eat one more thing, but when you can only eat a cheese stick and 3 baby carrots at a time you get hungry every 30 mins or so.... sheesh! Pregnancy is rough sometimes!

  • I'm learning to break meals up. Instead of having what would be a full lunch or dinner, I eat half/third of it now and a little bit later. I hear it's only gonna get worse which makes me sad... Cuz I love food! Especially breakfast :wink: I am used to eating enough food to last half the day haha
  • So full. No appetite either. And thanksgiving is next week?! Sad
  • I was told I should be eating a lot more smaller meals instead of the 3 big meals a day, but I find myself never hungry which I am a little concerned about because I feel like some days I do not get enough for the baby. And when I do eat it is very little before I'm so full. As for my belly it's squishy in the morning when I wake up. But through the day it is harder. Especially after meals. But I am plus size so I do have a little squishiness to start with lol
  • Umm I wish this would happen to me as I cant stop eating! Lol
  • My belly is pretty firm most of the time and I'm eating smaller meals for the most part, but not super small and I don't feel full super quick . . . yet
  • Super firm. After eating it's worse, so I do small meals about every 2 hours

  • Thank you for all the input. I will start to do smaller "snacks/meals" more frequently instead of the normal 3 meals a day. I just cant fit it 
    :( and people keep getting onto me for not eating enough. Its scary because I will still have 11 weeks left! I would love some of yalls snack ideas or smaller meal ideas. Ive been eating a Peanut butter sandwich lol bad i know, but not hungry for much else.

  • I just got back from lunch. I had half a veggie sandwich and a small glass of water and I feel almost sick.  Some days I can pack more in than others, but usually, like the others said, I try to break it up into smaller meals.  My belly is hard all the time now, especially at night or after I've overdone it eating.

  • Mine stays firm all of the time. I get really full very quick. I'm a grazer too! By the time dinner comes around it's literally a few bites and I can't to breathe. So different from when I'm not pregnant. I can eat ridiculous amounts of food, plus the grazing.

    How is peanut-butter bad? I have a PB sand almost everyday.
  • I'm almost 26 weeks and mine is firm most, but not all, of the time. I have no problems eating right now though!

    That's all I seem to want to eat for lunch... I have had people tell me it's not healthy. But to me it's protein right?

  • YES.  Since starting week 29 I am uncomfortably full all the time.  I had less than a cup of chili and an iced tea for lunch and you'd think I cleaned out a buffet the way I feel.  No fun.  Belly is mostly firm, especially in the middle for some reason (maybe that's where LO is hanging out.)
