Decrease in appetite?

Question

Pre pregnancy l was always really hungry. Since getting pregnant (currently 19 weeks), l have not been as hungry. I have no cravings or aversions so l try to eat healthily but has anyone else experienced this? I am going to ask my doctor at the next visit. I worry that l am not eating enough. It is so hard to know.

Answer

I'm in the same boat. I'm 21+5 and I've only gained 5 pounds. I feel like I was hungrier early on. I'm trying to consciously eat more starting this week.

Answer

I am 21w and same here. I think I had two days of feeling like I could eat everything and that was it. Otherwise I've had no cravings or aversions and I don't feel the need to eat a lot. I eat until satisfied and found if I eat a big meal I feel uncomfortably full. I was worried too but I asked the nutritionist in class and was told that as long as I'm eating until satisfied and eating healthy (pregnancy healthy needs) then I should be okay. I was told not to get obsessive over the scale. My midwife had no concerns with my weight a few days ago. I had the anatomy scan last week and baby was healthy and normal. I think I've been gaining a pound or two the past few weeks. So I'm thinking eat healthy and small meals often and drink lots of water and I should be good. I also think that the major baby growth will be happening in a couple weeks so maybe I'll get my hunger surge then.

Answer

I'm the same way. Once I hit like 16w or so my extreme hunger went away. It scared me bc I'm paranoid lol. But yeah I'm doing what you're doing. Just nice and healthy and eating 3 square meals a day.
