anyone else have a poor appetite?

anyone else have a poor appetite?

I am 28 weeks and 2 days. I have to force myself to eat. I never feel like eating, and only do because I know I need to feed the baby.I have gained about 10 pounds so far, is that okay for as far along as I am? My Dr hasn't said anything about it at all.But I havent seen him for 5 weeks because he is moving his practice.

Nothing ever sounds good, and I find it annoying to have to eat.I wish there was some kind of magic pellet you could just swallow and feel full all day!!
I'm mad because this should be a carefree time when you get to enjoy eating (within reason-:))and not worry about weight. But I can barely force myself to eat.

Does anyone else have a poor appetite or hate eating?

I'm the same way, although I do have a day here and there where I enjoy eating but I can't eat very much.  I'm 25 weeks and have only gained 2 pounds.  My doctor said it's fine, I had horrible all day sickness until about 20 weeks, and I still get sick now.  My doctor did say most women will gain the majority of there weight between 25-40 weeks. I can't go in my kitchen because I smell a phantom smell and it makes me puke so usually I go to my inlaws for dinner but if not I drink Boost.  My doctor told me to drink 1-2  a day if it's a day I cant eat much so the baby is getting all the nutrients she needs.  And it is working, she is already over 2 pounds!

One of these days we will get our piggy pregnant eating day! I'm hoping for the same thing! I want so badly to eat whatever I want and not feel sick at all and to enjoy it, like a pregnant woman should=)

I'm 31 weeks and dread eating.  I feel so sick afterward. I force myself to eat and usually end of heaving.  I usually crave fruits and salads .  I have gained 11 lbs so far and my baby is also very large.  5 weeks larger than normal.  will have an ultrasound soon to figure out why.  As long as the babys growing I guess everything is okay.  I feel huge though and wish I could deliver today.  LOL
