No cravings or increased appetite?

Question

I'm pregnant with my first, I'm 15 weeks and 3 days & In the first trimester I lost 4lbs. My dr says that I should begin to have an increased appetite or begin to crave certain things but that hasn't happened. Is this normal?

Answer

No doctor should say anything about cravings. It's not medically proven to be apart of pregnancy. I'm 36 weeks, never had cravings, and haven't really had an increased appetite. I have chosen to eat more throughout the day than I did not pregnant just for the sake of my baby though. Everyone is different when it comes to food and pregnancy. Just make sure you're getting the adequate minerals and nutrients for you and your little one and you'll be just fine.

Answer

Answer

I lost 8lbs and I didn't start getting an appitite/cravings till like 19 weeks and I've gained back 3lbs. I still don't have a strong appetite but it's getting better. Every person is different but trust me your appetite will kick up soon

Answer

I'm 19&5, and my cravings are really not crazy. I have them, but it's for a specific vegetable, or meat, or onions. It's not nutso. I do want to eat more, but that's also depending on my hydration and fiber intake sometimes.
Crazy cravings can be a sign of nutritional issues (doctors don't really get training in nutrition) so if you are eatingn well, you may not have them.
I have also only gained 5.5 lbs, and no one is worried. I wasn't tiny or huge prepregnancy, so this is probably fine. Largely though, I'm really not eating any junk or huge amounts of empty carbs. My body seems pretty happy. 
I agree though, your doctor is silly for saying that. Mine have never mentioned it at all. They also don't bother me about my weight. Who knows, they may if I was clearly gaining at some huge pace, but they also know that the body is good at doing what it needs to do.
Best of luck!

Answer

I didn't have an increase in appetite until 18 weeks and then WOW!

Answer

I am a good weight and eat very healthy (my junk food is occasional mexian food and organic pizza). I lost 3 lbs during first trimester and now I am a little over 17 weeks and have only gained 2 of the pounds back: I am growing a big belly though. I don't have cravings except the normal stuff I craved before pregnancy- citrus fruits.  I am eating more because I think of the babys needs and not from an increased appetite.

I would consider us lucky that we don't have tons of cravings and going out of control with eating

Answer

16w today. No cravings that I didn't have pre-pregnancy. I've only put on 3lbs since I got pregnant, but I was almost 30lbs over my goal weight when I got pregnant. Hoping to stay active, eat right, and turn pre-baby fat into baby. ☺

Answer

You will be fine. I am the same I'm 32 weeks and only gained 7lbs. I eat when I'm hungry not bc people put food in front of me. My family is good for telling me I don't eat enough and trying to force feed me  when I make myself eat I get sick. As far as cravings I get a taste for things here and there but it's not anything crazy. My advice is to make sure u are hydrated. I have been dehydrated during my pregnacy and it can cause cramping in ur belly which is no fun or a trip to the hospital with an IV.
