normal symptoms of pregnancy?

Hello ladies, I'm now in my second trimester! But since I've hit this stage, I am not sleeping well and have a very decreased appetite. Is this normal?

I feel the same. I think the only time I'm truly hungry at 2 in the morning when I should be sleeping but can't.  Hope this ends soon but definitely a good prep.

For me I have also noticed a decrease in my appetite, I never sleep well so I can't answer that. As long as you are maintaining a normal blood sugar and iron range and the baby is growing healthy I would say your fine. I would try to snack on some things every few hours just to make sure you don't get dizzy. But don't force yourself to eat a full, big meals 3 times a day if you cant.

Yep, sleep gets harder, and as for appetite my dr isn't worried as long as I go for quality not quantity.

I haven't really had much of an appetite throughout my entire pregnancy so far and I'm 35 weeks. As long as you're taking your prenatal vitamins and the baby is measuring fine, I wouldnt stress over it.

Not sleeping yes. Decreased appetite, not from my experience.
