Pregnancy Info HOME

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

i have NO appet_te, im 14 weeks, i consulted the doctor about it and he said that to make room for the baby all your other organs are moving up under your rib cage, making less room for you stomach. he suggested eating 6-8 small meals per day rather than 3 square, ive been doing it for 3 weeks now and noticing a BIG differance!!

I'm glad no one seems too concerned (the whole - am I eating enough for the baby?). During the first trimester I HAD to eat every hour or I felt nauseous (lots of carrots and yogurt). I'm 16 weeks now and I may have breakfast at 8am then FORGET to eat until 1pm. That is not normal for me (even when non-pregnant). I need to set an alarm to remind myself to eat ha! Any other tricks or hints to help?

i have the smallest appet_te, and im only in a few weeks. the morning sickness is killing me. and i throw up everything i do try to eat. but fast food doesnt do me any good. but whats the best thing to drink ?

Deniece, i also have the exact same feeling as you, do you still feel the same way?

WOW!! Its nice to know that other people are having the same thing i thought i was alone. This is my first pregnancy i'm about 8 weeks and i have no clue what i'm supposed to expect, and u can't always go by other people because everyone is different. I hear ya on the fast food part i can eat anything that is not homemade, but if i have to eat at home i have to force it down my throat. before i became pregnant i could eat all day long except when i first woke up. Now its like i don't even want to eat. I have myself a lil question, anyone haveing a problem with meat? I cant see touch or smell raw meat, and i can barely even eat it!!

I have the same problem, I can start eating a meal, then 1/4 - 1/2 way through I feel like I could throw up, which makes me not want to force it down. I don't think I have gained any weight since my last Dr's visit. I am also not sure if I am having twins or not, which is also making me question if I am getting enough of what I need.

I feel the same way too. But i also feel morning sickness. i now want to eat fruits (pomelo) that eating a normal meal. I know it is bad but i don't have appet_te for normal meals even fast food.

Thanks so much to everyone who has written here! I am 6 weeks and don't have severe nausea or any vomiting yet, but I can only eat little bits at a time: grapes, peanuts, crackers and cheese. Thinking of a regular meal makes me want to throw up and I don't want to force myself cus I don't want to risk losing what little is in my tummy. I'm concerned because when I think of making dinner, I want to throw up too, and I feel bad about not cooking for my family. How did any of you deal with cooking while nauseous? yesterday I was able to cook and eat part of my dinner, but my apet_te was gone after a few bites again. I feel better knowing I'm not alone!!

I am 4 weeks and have almost no appet_te. I have to force my self to eat. I cant usually stomach anything b4 11 in the am. Does this get better ?

Im 14 wks and still no appet_te. Scary when you think that an extra good appet_te is considered the norm during pregnancy especially after the 1st trimester. I am also concerned that my baby is not getting enough nutrition. but what can i do? i'll just throw up if I force myself to eat. I get hungry but i just can't think of anything i want to eat. Now I just eat because I know I have to. Is there a way to condition my mind to want to eat something???

dinley, same with me. I thought that maybe my appet_te will come back after the first trimester, i'm 14 weeks as well. nothing! i'm not hungry and worried that baby is not getting food either. i usually just munch on fruit or cookies or little things, but i'm not really hungry for a big meal. i don't know what to do, cause i know i have to feed the little one, but like you, i can't think of anything i want to eat. nothing seems exciting or appetizing! i lost 3 pounds within last month. what if i lose even more, my doctor is going to think i'm crazy for not eating!!
