Anyone eles hardly hungry around 20 weeks? Or just cant eat very much at once?

After i hit 13 weeks my hunger stopped, i get hungry but like normal. I can eat maybe twice or 3 times a day and be satisfied. Not to mention when i do eat i can only eat a little before i feel full/bloated and indigestion. *****... I dont know if its my IBS or because of the pregnancy. I almost hate eating because i know i will feel crappy afterwards. Just wondering, i see everyone laways talking about being starving all the time and hungry all day. I know every pregnancy is different but i dont hear alot of people who just dont get hungry or feel crappy after eating.

My whole pregnancy I wasn't really hungry and as the weeks would go on I would get less and less hungry. My doctor told me that the reason was because all of your insides are pressed up and there isn't any extra room so you feel fuller sooner. What he recommended was to eat a lot of small meals that were more filling then three regular meals.

From the day I found out I was pregnant I had hardly no appetited. After I had him I still didn't have much of an appetite unless I was BF'ing. then I ate like a horse! but once I dried up, I got full again really easily.

i ve been hating to eat my whole pregnancy. it was worst in 10th week to 18th weeks. i always eat because i should eat. i eat little and feel i ate alot!!!! so its normal that you dont feel hunger all the time. and u eat as u used to eat. try to add healthy food in ur diet. like yogurt, vagies and fruits. and milk ofcourse.
i always wish i should have window in my stomach and open window and fill it up!!!!  lol.

I'm 20 weeks an 1 day.  I don't eat 3 full meals... I eat 5 small meal.  I been wanting to eat more in the past two weeks.  I never got sick either.  I didn't eat much at all for the first 18 weeks.  I lost 6 pounds in the first 3 months.  My dr an midwife were never worried about it because i have gained now.  I would eat a few bites then done with it.  Nothing was good to me.  Anita

I didn't have much of an appetite until just recently, and I am 23 weeks. Even now, I have days when I could eat anything and everything, but I still have days that I am just not that hungry, and nothing sounds good!! As long as you are getting something in you, the baby will get what they need from that!! Good luck to you :)

I never felt that way, my hunger started growing fast, i mean i have gained 40 pounds during this pregnancy so far and i wish that i lost my appeite. Just take it easy and eat, its better to something then nothing. not eating is starving your baby, some food is better then nothing.
