There's women all over these boards saying things like, "I'm starving, am I pregnant?" I have the opposite problem: zero appetite. Trying to up my fluid intake and taking vitamins religiously, but I just plain don't feel like eating lately. Don't own a bathroom scale and my abdomen is already starting to swell, but from the way my pants fit now, if anything, I've LOST weight. Had a small bowl of soup and half a sandwich the other day and felt uncomfortably stuffed all afternoon. Went all day yesterday on water, herbal tea and a couple slices of homemade bread. If I didn't have to cook around here, I'd be eating even less.
Not puking yet but have had lots of headaches, gas
(sorry) and lower abdominal pain -- it feels like I've just done a zillion crunches, all day, all night. I have been under some stress as well. That isn't helping. I'm a medium-height, size 8 woman, and normally an excellent cook with no problem disposing of food.
I am 15 wks and feel the same way. I just plain don't eat unless I force myself to! And when I do it usually comes right back up. I've lost 12 pounds and had to get an iv at my last prenatal apt. I just hope I start feeling better soon and can actually eat for the baby!
i had the same issue at the beginning of my preg and had issues gaining weight....i am preg with twins and my doc became concerned when baby B started slowing down in growth so they prescribed boost shakes to me and put me on bedrest
i have been putting on the weight (currently 31 weeks) but didnt really get an appetite until the 3rd trimester
maybe try some protein shake to get extra calories you need....i would def talk to your ob about this at your next appt
