unable to eat or drink much...not hungry at all!

[Caszie]

Just wondering if anyone else is feeling this way...I am 24 weeks and a bit. I feel like I am dehydrating myself. I try to drink at least 1L of water a day but it leaves me unable to eat much food. I have maybe 3 meals a day that are about the size of my palm. Even then I have to FORCE myself to eat. I feel nothing but sick and bloated after I eat these meals. What the hell is wrong with me? I didn't have this problem with my last two until I was past 36 weeks.

Sounds like me, I'm 34+2 an don't have much of an appetite the past week I hardly eat

That's sounds exactly like me. It's weird! I never want breakfast, but have to force myself, or.i get really bad stomach cramps at work, because of what I do. Then I go to lunch, and have to force myself again. By dinner time my stomach is growling, and I'm hungry, but nothing sounds good. Then when we get around to eating, I usually can only eat just a little, and I'm stuffed.

I feel sick if I over fill myself...which at the moment can be a whole mandarin, or half a sandwich. Last night I made an awesome chicken, pumpkin and sun dried tomato lasagne. My partner ate enough for like 4 people. I had maybe 5 forkfulls and was done. I don't eat desert. I don't even have a snack after dinner anymore. I get up and am not hungry after 8 hours sleep. I barely have breakfast...maybe a piece of toast. I can go until after lunchtime before I think I should eat. I am afraid of the doctors disapproving stare if I start loosing weight. I know I could do with it...and my babies turn out fine....even large (first one was 10lbs! 2nd was 8lbs)

I surprisingly haven't vomited at all. So maybe it's morning sickness with the vomiting for me? Idk, I've never been pregnant! Like I said, this is my first.  So you get sick when you drink water before? Or just in general?

I only feel sick if I over fill myself thank god. I think yours is morning sickness fortunately for you. So hopefully it will pass. My whole family never get it. It's like we're missing that gene....but it also means we're prone to gain more weight during the first trimester :-( I am also a bigger girl. So I know what you mean about the eating. I love food. So this is killing me. I have only gained 2kgs and my doctor keeps looking at me like I'm trying to diet!

I'm only 9 weeks, and I'm having a hard ye eating anything. Now, I'm a bigger girl, so I've ALWAYS been able to eat pretty much anything. Now I have to cater to what sounds good, or I'll get really sick to my stomach, or I'll even get nauseous while eating what I want to eat. This is my first.
