Are we supposed to be eating more at this stage?

Question

The last week or so I have lost my appetite.  I've gone back to how I ate pre Pregnacy. Do you find yourselves still craving and hungry all the time? I'm 31 weeks on the button. 
I have spoke with my Dr. and am eating small amounts more often (as per her advice). And trying not to force feed. Just curious if it's normal. ✌💖

Answer

My appetite also decreased around that time. I haven't gained anything since week 30 (almost week 35 now), but baby is growing and actually measuring 2.5 weeks ahead, so Dr. isn't concerned.  As long as you're eating enough you and your baby should be fine!

Answer

Normal. I’m 33 weeks, big meals kill me. I get acid reflux and feel awful. I can’t do it anymore and resorted to snacks throughout the day. At this stage the baby is so big and our organs are all shifted and squished so it makes sense to not have an appetite.

Answer

In the past couple of weeks my appetite has dropped quite a bit, and food aversions again. Like nothing sounds good to eat then when something does sound good and I get it in front of me I can hardly eat it.

Answer

I typically end up maintaining/losing weight by the end of the pregnancy and only gain the weight of the baby +the fluids and all that stuff. 
It’s because I don’t get hungry often so I end up eating one big meal a day and some snacks here and there or 2 small meals. 
Baby and me have always been fine. This is my second pregnancy to have that happen.

Answer

I went through an eating-constantly phase around weeks 29-32 but it’s mostly warn off and I feel like I eat more normally lately. If anything I eat smaller amounts more often just because there’s less room in there.
