To Angel re: third trimester loss of appet_te. I'm at 35 weeks also, and rarely feel like eating, even when I can tell I'm hungry. I gained 26 pounds, then lost a pound. My doctor has no worries. It seems it's normal to level off or even lose a little weight near the final month. Just make sure that what you do eat is nutritious, and keep taking prenatals and calcium. :)

i'm at 10 weeks and haven't had an appet_te since 4 weeks. i choke the food down anyway but can't eat as much as before. it's also easier for me to eat fast food. my concern is the lack of nutrition i get. i'm thinking of trying drinks like ensure since most foods don't appeal to me.

I am now going into my 3rd trimester, and I have muscle pain at the v____a area. It hurts whenever i get up or more...anyone else have this problem?

I am 10 wks pregnant and I have hardly any appet_te to any type of food even fast food. I thought I would have been past all that now. I gained one pound in 5 wks.I was wondering when I'm going to start to want to eat like a mad woman like I've heard so many other women did when they were pregnant. I know it's worth it in terms of getting a beautiful baby, but I want my old appet_te back. Also, for some advice, I take my vitamins at night time before I go to bed that way I sleep through any sickness I may feel afterwards. Good luck ladies!

I have lost my appet_te for fast foods and homecooked meals. It's scary because i feel i may never gain my appet_te back ever. It's like i don't be hungry but my stomache is growling like crazy. It's like i have to force my self to eat.

just the thought of food is making me feel ill lately. i havent even been eating proper meals in the day, i just snack on crisps and drink water although i no i am really hungry, i cant bring myself to eat.

All natural fruit popcicels have really helped me to jump start my appette in the morning. I get them from the health food store, and they are full of Vit. C which is great for your body. and helps combat nausea.

I find that i can cooke the most amazing food, like tonite, chicken cordon blue, wild rice, carrots.. etc, i sit down to eat, i take three bites, im full!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!its annoying!

The reality is, keep it simple. I think sometimes as well that eating like a toddler helps-- small meals, small healthy meals. Frozen blue berries are great with me, I spend the extra to get strawberries, and food i do like so at least i can be a__sured, baby is getting good nutrion. So basically in terms of wolfing down food like i used to, I cant do that at all anymore. My husband always asks "are you okay". I have had the nausea a lot, the yuckyiness, but i am gaining an appet_te at 15 weeks but its small! so far i have gained not even five pounds though growing a belly so there is not doubt that baby is growing, mind you i never was that thin, so perhaps there was already space. Anyone else sick of housework and dishes! Last of my priorites lately!

I am new to this discussion and am so glad I am not the only one feeling this way. I am 7 weeks pregnant, and at first I was hungry all the time and knew exactly what I wanted - and was able to eat it all plus some. But over the last week or so I have noticed that nothing sounds good (which is frustrating because I love food so much!) I think my stomach is actually getting smaller now. Like a lot of you, I will make or buy something I think I will like, take two bites, and then get totally turned off by the taste. Has anyone else started the pregnancy with a healthy appet_te only to lose it later?

Hi. I know this is an old thread, but I have had the problem of a loss of appet_te since the 4th week of my pregnancy. I am now 9 weeks and I still don't care to eat. I am so upset, because I worry about how well I am taking care of my baby that is growing inside. Has anyone's appet_te gotten any better after the first trimester? I don't want to switch to wanting to eat everything in the whole house, but I would like to have an appet_te that made me not have to force myself to eat. That is the worse feeling of having to eat when you don't want to. Please respond.

Just to let anyone else know who reads this thread, it does pa__s. I found in my first trimenster that I would crave certain foods but then when I had the food in front of me, I couldn't eat it. The next day the same food I craved would turn my stomach. For a few days all I wanted to eat was wholemeal toast and real b___ter but a few days after that the idea of it made me sick. Somedays I could eat what I wanted and other days I couldn't eat at all. I was worried as well because I was b___stfeeding as well, but despite not eating very much my pregnancy progressed just fine and my milk didn't dry up. Your body tells you what you want... I am a firm believer in that.

Ladies you shouldnt try to eat a large meal. It is hard to digest and you feel full fast too. Instead of 3 large meals a day. You should eat 6 small meals a day.

I am 9 weeks, have had no nausea, but I also lost my appet_te. I am basically making myself eat when appropriate. I'm hoping this will end soon. I'm happy anout no morning sickness but I would like to eat when I am hungary, not just because. On top of this, I only have to eat a small amount and I feel full. I am eating smaller portions and more frequently, but the little guys is still very small. I unfortunately have extra baggage on my belly so I am working on maintaining. I'm glad others have had the same thing happen.

hi,this is my 3rd,i am nearly 13 weeks.and i have no appet_te at all.its a real struggle to eat half a piece of toast,i have to force myself.i havent actually been sick like my last,but i do feel sick,and ive got a permanant cold.i am worried.i havent put on much weight

Oh yes...i have slaved many a days over the stove making a home cooked meal that looks delicious!! But when it was done, i couldnt eat it! I didnt have an appet_te my whole pregnancy. Most days i could only take 2 or 3 bites of my food and my apet_te was gone!! Just make sure you are taking your prenatals <3
