Pregnant and no appetite

I am almost 17 weeks pregnant and have absolutely no appetite at all. Before I got pregnant I would get hungry, but now not at all. Anyone else have that?

Ok I am glad to see that I am not the only one experiencing this... I am pregnant with baby #3 BUT have not had a child in 8 yrs. and I don't remember ever feeling like this. I am now 6.5 weeks and I have NO appetite whatsoever, I will only eat when I basically start to get the shakes then I will force whatever is available down. I am sick and nauseous ALL day and on top of that constipated, I am loosing sleep over the tummy aches and I get heart burn and indigestion as well that keep me up.. I am scarred that the stress of this amongst other things will make me miscarry.. I am prone to miscarriage last 3 pregnancies have resulted in them... Somebody tell me I will be ok... Last Drs appt Dr said it looked like a healthy pregnancy, am I worrying myself too much?

I was like that with my 2nd daughter. I'd just have to make myself eat, even if I didn't feel like it. I'm ravenous this pregnancy, though. I feel I can't get enough but I keep myself under control and still eat normal portions.

Good luck to you! Make sure you're getting tons of water and taking your vitamin as well.
