38 weeks and total appetite increase!!

by Annice1234, May 24, 2007 12:00AM
So the past couple of days I've been sooo hungry.  I think I ate like all day yesterday.  I've gained 22 lbs so far, but if I keep eating like this for the next 2 weeks, I'm sure I'll gain at least 10 more lbs!  I just ate lunch, and my stomach is still like growling.  I don't get it.  I thought your appetite was supposed to decrease, and the weight gain would start to stop at the very end?  Is anyone else around this time experiencing this?  How are all you June mommies doing anyway??  We're almost there!!!  :)

UGH...I am about 28 weeks and I have no appetite. I had a huge appetite increase around 20 weeks but in the past week or two and especially in the past day or two I just don't feel hungry. I have been making myself eat, but just because I know I have to. My doc was worried three weeks ago and told me to slow it down with the weight gain. At 25 weeks I had gained 16 lbs. Now I have been weighing myself and only one pound in three weeks. I'm not complaining, but where is my appetite?! I'm sure it will return but I'm just the opposite. I've been wondering if I should be worried?? I'm sure you are both fine though, with your larger appetites. You don't have that far to go. Are you drinking lots of water? You're getting close!!

I think you are ok Jen.......they say that is 100% normal because the baby is getting so big that it's squishing your belly and making it smaller, therefore, making it easier to fill.

In response to your reply to Jen,  that's why I thought my appetite was supposed to be decreasing.  I think I've had a pretty normal appetite during this pregnancy...until recently!  Yikes!  I actually didn't even gain any weight until I was 27 weeks...but now it hasn't stopped.  :(
