Eating less while pregnant

normal?

I eat way less now than I used to, I cant finish a bowl of soup, before I could finish a bowl of soup, and a sandwich, and some chips, in the same sitting.

Re: Eating less while pregnant

I ate smaller meals during the 1st trimester, mostly because my stomach was always so upset and I just didn't feel like it.....now starting my 3rd trimester my appetite is much better...I still eat smaller more frequent meals though, I feel like cr*p if I eat too much at one sitting

Re: Eating less while pregnant

I'm the same way now in my third trimester.

I bearly take a few bites of whatever I'm eating, but try to eat something every two hours because at the same time the nausea came back to get me and I find that small, frequent meals help alot.

Re: Eating less while pregnant

I ate much less during the 1st trimester. Somewhere in the 2nd I started to eat a lot though--it seemed like I was always hungry. That tapered off again sometime during the third.

It sounds pretty normal. Someone I knew liked smoothies and had those to increase her calorie intake. If the thought of them sounds okay to you, maybe try something like that?

I was like that up until 20 weeks, then all hell broke loose My appetite is HUGE now.

Re: Eating less while pregnant

I ate less my whole pregnancy. I never had much of an appetite and got full fast.

Re: Eating less while pregnant

I have to say my appetite definitely decreased. I didn't have any morning sickness , but I still didn't eat as much. Now I'm 36 weeks and still don't eat much, just three small meals and maybe a snack. Last night I couldn't even finish one piece of chicken.

Re: Eating less while pregnant

I'm like that now in my 3rd trimester... It's actually annoying to me! I sit down to eat something - take a couple of bites, and give the rest to Brian if he hasn't eaten yet.... Every once in a blue moon I will actually be able to eat a whole sandwich or something.

It's so weird just because I am not fond of sitting down to eat like this.... I feel like a piggy, but know that I'm not cuz I'm eating so little...

Re: Eating less while pregnant

I'm only about six weeks and can't eat nearly as much as I used to.
I figure it's a good thing cuz I'm nausea/hungry every two hours.

Re: Eating less while pregnant

Thank God I'm hearing others say they are experiencing this. I was hungry during my first trimester... I'm 17 weeks now and I forget to eat the last few days. I keep thinking I'm not eating enough, but I'm plain not hungry.

Re: Eating less while pregnant

Re: Eating less while pregnant

I did not really have MS but I lost all my appetite when I was in my 1st trimester.

I had to force myself to eat. I could only eat smaller portions. Which mean I also lost 4 Lbs by the time I was 12 wks PG. It came back a little at 18 weeks or so. But I was always full right away to the end.
