issues with eating while pregnant

[VRM22]

Now i am not sick like most people get.. to be honest i have been really lucky.. No pregnancy symptoms at all except for some sore boobs.. but i do have an issue.. I am never hungry...and when i do eat i get full really fast. I am 15 weeks pregnant and you would never know it. I have lost 6 pounds.. i am not showing.. but my baby is doing fine he is actually bigger then he should be at 15 weeks. my mom yells at me to eat.. Now i do eat cause i make myself.. but it is so hard when i am never hungry.. any suggestions or anyone with a similar issue.

I am 4 months pregnant and have lost 5 lbs still through this pregnancy.. have not gained an ounce.. my mom and dad, plus now fiance are on my butt about it.. you cant tell i am pregnant.. My family seems to think i should be gaining weight by now.. it is only my first pregnancy.. I have a doc appointment next week. So i guess i will see what my midwife says.. The baby is growing though.. isnt that the important issue

Yes you are right. I ate better today so that is good. One thing i notice is that I am more interested in healthy foods. So If I can keep up the healthy cravings it would be great for both me and baby.

babyblurb- remember that your baby needs the fats, carbs and calories that food offers. There is none of that in water. Definitely try to eat regularly, whether you feel like it or not. It's quite another thing if you're vomiting uncontrollably due to morning sickness (in those cases doctors can prescribe something to help you keep food down). But if you can keep food in you, definitely eat.

I am very early still 5w 2 days. Aside from a few cravings I hardly eat at all. I dont feel like it. Its like hunger comes in bouts. Then I have to force myself to eat. Its weird. I feel like i have lost a lil weight already too. My belly is bloated but im not eating. i am drinking water a lot but thats it. I am not really complaining though. As long as the baby gains the necessary weight I am totally fine not gaining too much weight for myself ;)

Yeah.. I have been trying. The other problem I have is I work as an RN on a step down unit for ICU/ trauma floor. We work 12hour shifts and honestly sometimes i dont get to lunch till 2 or 3 in the afternoon. which is not good for me but at the same time It is not like i can just leave my patients to eat.

I had this issue when pregnant with my 2nd daughter. I just made myself eat 3 meals and 2 snacks a day. I ended up gaining a healthy, normal 24 lbs that pregnancy. But it was a struggle because I never wanted to eat. And she was 8 lb 8 ounces when born! So it wasn't like she was scrawny.

You just have to eat like a robot. Do it because you know you should.
