Loss of appetite in 2nd trimester...

Did anyone experience this? I'm 18 wks 4 days and am getting over bronchitis and a sinus infection so I was going to attribute it to that. However, if I think about it, the loss of appetite started before I got sick.

This pregnancy has been very different from my first in respect to the fact that I had so many food aversions with DS I subsisted on pasta. Now, my only food aversions seem to be fish, chicken and turkey.

Just curious to know if this is common in the 2nd tri.

Thanks!

Maybe that's what is getting to me...the food smells. I thought I wanted ham and cheese for lunch yesterday but then got turned off by the smell and didn't even want anything after that. Didn't even think it could be that and not the food itself! It's just weird because I actually have to remind myself to eat most days. Totally different than with DS. With him, I was hungry but just couldn't eat many things.
