Did anyone lose their apetite after birth?

Question

I gave birth on Tuesday and I’m just not hungry at all! I have to force my self to eat and when I do I’m just their eating so slowly like trying to force myself to swallow the food since I’m breastfeeding i have to eat but I’m not hungry at all. When I was pregnant of course I ate all the time even got up in the middle of the night to eat. It just feels so different for me because even when I’m not pregnant I’m never not hungry

Answer

After my first I had to force feed myself for about 2 weeks. I wasnt hungry at all. I lost 30 pounds in 7 days 🤯 obviously that was baby weight too but dang lol

Answer

Yess! I had went through the same phase! Although, I am not sure if it’s because I had a csection. (I am not sure if there’s any correlation) but I just felt swollen and full (possibly from the IVs) 
Your appetite should return soon :) eat in small meals and only what truly may feel like eating (for me it was a soup here and there) 😊keeping hydrated is super when breastfeeding 🤱

Answer

Havent had baby yet, but in my first pregnancy it was a good 3-4 weeks for me, I remember I went so skinny, never felt hungry and constantly on the move.
I'm hoping it happens again this time 🙈🤣

Answer

I was like this after my first.... especially when my milk came in, it made me feel so blah!

Answer

Breastfeeding and having an infant just consumes you. It's easy to get busy and forget to eat.

Answer

Same! I think mine is from constipation. I had a c-section as well and I know the iron and pain medicine will cause constipation.

Answer

It could be your hormones trying to get back to normal.

Answer

Yes, normal!
