Loss of Appetite

I have noticed that I have completely lost my appetite. I am a little over 5 weeks. I barely ate anything for dinner except the rice of course. Is anyone else feeling like this? Also for those of you that felt this way when did you start getting it back? I noticed the only things that I actually enjoy eating are carbs which is the opposite of what I ate before I was pregnant.

Re: Loss of Appetite

Totally normal.
I had a HUGE appetite before I got preggers, now, at 23 weeks, I need hubby to plan the meals because if it were left up to me we'd never eat because I can never decide.
Up until about 12-13 weeks nothing appealed to me except bagles and bread, now I'll eat anything, but someone has to choose for me... LOL.

Re: Loss of Appetite

I ate nothing but carbs in my first trimester; it was all I could stomach. The thought of anything else made me so nauseous. And I was the exact same way before I was pregnant, I rarely ate any carbs except for my fruits and veggies and I definitely wouldn't touch white breads and the amount of bagels I consumed in my 1st trimester. White pasta and bagels were a treat on my cheat days! At about 12-13 weeks the need for carbs subsided and I was able to go back to eating fruits and veggies with small helpings of carbs.

Thanks!!!

Re: Loss of Appetite

I went through the same thing during my first trimester and i was nausea on top of it. It will get better for sure and you are going to want everything.

I feel this way. I am STARVING all the time at around 8 wks...but the thought of food makes me naseous. There is nothing that sounds appetizing to me...very rough since I am alway so hungry!

Re: Loss of Appetite

Thats exactly how I am. Bagels/rice/very simple bland salads are all I can stand. Ill be 12 weeks tomorrow & it started around week 7 for me.
