Anybody?

Question

I just had my baby on the second and ive barely been able to eat anything, i didnt eat the first two days we were home and have barely been able to eat a bowl of cereal, and i dont feel hungry at all, is this normal?

Answer

I was having this issue and it ended up being severe postpartum depression and anxiety. Im now on meds and it’s slowly getting better!

Answer

It’s normal but you have to try to eat. I didn’t have an appetite for 4 months after having my baby. I had to make sure I ate at meal times so I would be able to breastfeed. At 4 months my normal appetite came back. Little one is 7m and still breastfeeding great!

Answer

Please eat. It is not normal.

Answer

It took me a while to get my appetite back. I didn't eat for 4 days because of being induced and then having emergency surgery after birth and I still wasn't hungry when I got home.  Obviously you need to eat to sustain yourself. I've seen other women post about their appetite changing after giving birth. I would say my appetite didn't go back to pre pregnancy levels until week 10.

Answer

I was not hungry at all for over a week after birth but I was always able to force myself to eat. It wasn’t that I couldn’t eat I just wasn’t hungry. If you physically can’t make yourself eat please talk to your doctor sooner rather than later because your body cannot support yourself and heal with no nutrition.

Answer

I experienced something similar. It wasn’t PP depression but it also wasn’t where I couldn’t eat. My appetite was just not as big for a while but I think I was running off of the excitement of a newborn and exhaustion. But I just forced myself to eat three meals a day and it picked up later. I’d just bring it up with your doctor to find out what he thinks about your specific situation. Hormones after birth are cray
