No appetite

kirstyh321 · October 2015

I am 15 weeks preg now and have no appetite what so ever, I'm snacking and just picking at meals throughout the day, I have also gained a meat adversion this week were it actually turns my stomach when I walk past the meat aisle in supermarket! I feel that baby isn't getting the protein it needs, has anyone else lost their appetite? I feel fed up!

I had a major lack of appetite during the first tri. That plus nausea made me lose 20 lbs. my MW says she isn't concerned as long as when I do eat, I eat healthy choices and not a bunch of junk. Also, baby is taking all the nutrients it needs (whic isn't a whole lot right now). If anyone needs more, it's you! Just make sure you're taking your prenatals and make good choices when snacking.

Make healthy choices. If you're concerned about protein, cheese, Greek yogurt, nuts, eggs are all high in protein.

I think a lot of people go through the "no appetite" stage during the first tri. I know I did, & I had adversions to meat.
But as pp said try other variations of protein.

Ifind it worse in the afternoon and evening so I really try to have 2 bigger meals in the AM and then just nibble at what I can later on....

Also things like milkshakes made with whole milk are a great way of getting much needed nutrients and calories in when nothing else looks good

I had the same issue and I found that I could stomach kids cereal, such as Cheerios. I ate a lot and at least it is fortified with vitamins for all of the kids. It took a few weeks but I got through it, I hope you feel better!

I am in my second trimester AT 19 weeks and I too have no appetite I do eat breakfast which really is my only big meal. Then throughout the day I pick and snack. I am getting concerned as well especially when people tell me I don't even look pregnant. I have gained about 10 pounds tho. So idk.

Meh.. Food.
That's been my feeling since I got pregnant... I go through waves of being hungry, but it usually disappears quickly. I'm drinking lots of water and taking my vitamins, so I'm not too worried about the lack of appetite.

I was the same way. I found myself eating a lot of PBJ sandwiches! I also discovered if I found something I really wanted I would finish the whole dish i.e.: fettuccine alfredo with chicken

It has gotten better recently but it drove my dh crazy!

I too can't eat a thing. I am 19 weeks and I do not throw up. I am so worried as I had an attack yesterday. Was so weak almost hospitalized all because of lack of food....can any one help. My tummy does get rock hard from time to time I do know its probably the baby. I have not yet felt the karate kicks....

What did your doctor say when you asked him/her?

I am 14 weeks, haven't been able to eat since week 7! It is frustrating. Sometimes I throw up stomach acid bc I have nothing to throw up. It's miserable. I want to eat so bad but nothing is appealing. I did so good for about 3 days last week and now I'm back where I was. I weighed 146 when I found out that I was pregnant I weigh 135 now. Makes day to day life so much harder bc of the lack of energy! I never feel good!! I feel your pain. I keep waiting for the day that I want to indulge everything
