Normal for loss of appetite when pregnant???

[rae5040]

The last couple of days, I have noticed that I am just not hungry- AT ALL. When I eat, I feel sick and huge. I don't have an appetite for ANYTHING. Is this normal?? Has anyone else experienced it?? Please, any input would be great. 6wks today

[mrs canada]

Completely normal. People often think that hunger is a sign of pregnancy when, in fact, the opposite is true. Don't worry - you'll be as hungry as your baby needs you to be! :O)

[sk2006a]

yes, normal.  by month two or so, the only time i felt good was while i was eating!

[pixijal]

I wouldn't be concerned at all.   This is very normal.

[jgonzales]

It's very normal.. but try to get something in ur stomach though, later on, ur body will tell u to eat.. trust me..I dont feel hungery, if I feel sick, I know I need to eat..

[asher01]

loss of appetite is normal in early pregnancy. some women actually lose weight in their first trimester, that was the case for me bc i didn't have an appetite. but try to eat something at least. it will make u feel better to know u at least tried, take care n good luck!

Yeppers this is normal. i am 14 and half weeks and just now getting to where I can eat. I have actually lost weight the entire time so far. The doctor said that the next time they see me in four weeks they want to see some weight gain.

As you can see from the above replies it is fairly normal to either have an adverse reaction to food or be really hungry. It can vary throughout the day but especially is common during early pregnancy. I was going to add though that if there is anything you actually do find yourself craving then eat it until you're over it! That's what I did or probably still do. I am currently 12.5 weeks with #4. If you feel like eating Big Macs then eat them...or fresh fruit then eat that. You will find there's something that you quench your appetite eventually. Keep taking pre-natal vitamins to help with nourishment though and if you're a milk drinker then you can line your stomach with a glass of milk - flavoured or not. It'll pass though!

That's how I felt when I was pregnant and I was gaining weight.

[shell178]

okay i'm only 4 weeks pregnant.. i really don't have any symptoms at all of being pregnant. However, i have an extreme loss of appetite. I mean i can go 48 hours without eating a thing and not be hungry AT ALL. I'm scared i might lose the baby if i don't eat, but on the other hand i honestly can't eat.  PLEASE HELP  thanks!

[ch33ky]

thank god im not the only person who feels like this!!

i too cannot eat.. never 'fancy' anything at all and no food appeals to me at the moment appart from fruit yougurts! i can go all day without eating but i do force something down for the sake of my baby! i used to smoke cannabis but quit as soon as i found out i was pregnant and thought this was a withdrawal symptom.. thank you for your help and good luck all you mothers and mothers to be!!!

[sandy304]

its an ugly feeling!  im never hungry but my stomach growling!.... always feeling drained of energy
and sick :( ... ohh and UTI oh so painful! damn! this really sucks!!  what should i do!  

[princesa777]

i'm about 4wks and right now all i crave is sweet cereals. i love bacon with eggs and chez but now that makes queazy. i have been cooking since i was ten yrs old i love food right now nothing taste good, except cereal.But never hungry.

[jennydev]

I am right there with you guys.  I'm not hungry for 48 hours. BUT I took a HPT and it was negative. Are they always right??

[heatherkt]

I am right there with jennydev I am a couple days late HPT was negative but nothing sounds good. I was able to get some cherries and ice cream down but even my love of diet coke is long gone,.

[kirkir08]

Usually HPTs are right, but not always. I still haven't gotten a positive and I'm 14 weeks. Even my blood tests were negative. I had to get an ultrasound done to find out I was preggy. But I too had a loss of appetite all the way until I was about 10 or 11 weeks and it SUCKED! lol Best of luck to all of you. =]

[jennie25]

I am 4 weeks and 3 days pregnant and i loss my appetite. I feel like i can go days without eating. I only eat cause i know that i'm pregnant. I try to eat at least once a day at least for the baby. I have 3 Children, 2 miscarriages and pregnant again .I'm really scared since i had 2 miscarriages in a row. Now me not eating because i loss my appetite i'm scared . Can someone tell me if that can lead to a miscarriage???

[Bae2008]

Okay I think Im 11 weeks pregnant, and yesterday I really had no appetie at all, and today I have not eaten anything yet. I just dont have an appetie, and everytime I think about eating or I try to eat, I start to feel really nauseaus. I have took a pregancy test when I would have been like 6 weeks prego, and the test was negative. I DONT KNOW WHAT TO DO. DOES ANYONE THINK I MAY STILL BE PREGNANT?? HELP!

[jane98]

that is weird that the HPT came out - b/c most come out positive 2 days earlier?  it might be expired so check the date.  i am going on 6 wks and i barely have appetite.  nothing is "good" and i can eat pretty much anything just to survive... i hear that you do get your appetite back after the 1st trimester so yay to that!

[taytayb]

I am turning 17 soon and i have been having a loss of appetite. When i see people eating i feel like puking. But my stomach growls all day and i feel very hungary, but when i try eating i take just a few bites and i feel naucious, I've also been having crazy mood swings, i'll be so happy one moment and then the next im so unhappy with myself. I dont really know if i am pregnant or if im just getting sick. Has anyone else had this happen to them in early pregnancy??

[misunderstood546]

I am 19, and think I'm pregnant, but not sure. I have eaten a biscuit and a hamburger in 5 days and don't have an appetite. I don't even feel hungry at all. I mean, I'm on BC but my luck I'm likely to fall in that small percentage of getting pregnant. Can someone help me out?

[April1975]

Hey everyone. I am an IVF patient. I had my frozen embryo (5 day blastocyst) transfer on November 17th and am now 4 weeks pregnant. Last time in Sept, I was pregnant but the hCG counts didn't go up so they stopped growing. I didn't have any symptoms. This time I have totally lost my appetite. the only thing I can eat is a grilled cheese and maybe fruity tarty yogurt. I also have slight brown discharge when I wipe, I hope this is a good sign too. I have to go back on Monday to see if my hCG counts have gone up. I pray they do. They must have or I wouldn't be experiencing these symptoms.

Thank you for verifying that loss of appetite is normal in early pregnancy. I am so relieved. It's a good sign for me..  

[iloverandy]

im about 2 months and just in this last week I have felt so sick. I will crave a food but as soon as i go to eat it i lose any cravings for it & actually feel like im gonna puke just thinking about eating. Before I found out i was preggo i only ate once a day most of the time but now i eat about 4 times or more cuz if i dont eat right away i feel overly nauseous. As soon as i wake up i have to eat something or i will be running to the bathroom.

[Sunshine407]

I am almost 3 months pregnant. This is my first time and I am very afraid.lol. I have no appettite at all, but my stomach always tends to growl. When I do try and eat, I have a nasty sour taste in my mouth and end up throwing up after a short period of time. Before this pregnacy I would eat all the time. Food was my life but now i cant eat at all even when i want to. What foods can I eat? What drinks can I drink cause lately ive only been able to drink tea and water. I sometimes have dry mouth and crusted lips as a result of it. Someone please help me, im begging:)!!!

[NicNic1]

I am nearly 8 weeks pregnant, in the first few weeks of my pregnancy i ate everything and anything, in the last few days i only have to look at food and i feel bloated even though i feel sick because i am so hungry, i am missing food so badly, i normally have the best appetite! It is not good either as the sandwich man at work comes at 11 and i normally buy a sausage in a roll but now i even have to pass on that!! Its all perfectly normal but very frustrating as i now start to worry about my baby!!

Dont panic ladies, its all good!!

I am so releaved the read all of these comments!
I am about 12 weeks now and have not gained any weight (in fact may have even lost a pound or two) and although I have not thrown up at all, the thought of most foods just makes me feel nauseous.

I've been making a big pot of vegetable soup every week, and that seems to go down better then other things. And yogurt and strawberries but not a whole lot else. Sometimes I can force down a little bit of protein in the evening for dinner but only a very small amount.

I am really glad to know that this is normal!

[PkNk]

After reading all of these comments I am now scared that I am pregnant.  I have had a complete loss of appetite for the past 3 or 4 weeks.  So far I have lost 15 pounds.  Just this week I developed relentless nausea that last most of the day, but seems to lessen the more active I am.  I am trying to shove food down my throat, but the nausea is making it hard.  I have also recently started having lower back pain and frequent urination.  I honestly didn't think pregnancy could be possible until I realized I went to the bathroom twice in a night with a full bladder even though I didn't drink anything before bed. Now after reading this I am wondering if all these symptoms are because I am pregnant!

[lisha322]

I AM TEN WEEKS PREGNANT AND I STARTED TO LOSE MY APPETITE A FEW WEEKS AGO...I STARTED HAVING MORNING SICKNESS TWO WEEKS AGO AND I HARDLY HAVE AN APPETITE AS USUAL...EVEN THOUGH IM NEVER HUNGRY I TRY TO GET ATLEAST A LITTLE SOMETHING IN MY STOMACH BY EATING GRAPES, CRACKERS, PRETZLES OR A SMALL HEALTHY SNACK.

[anna318]

i am 6 months along and i am just starting to loss my appetite i was always hungry before i have even loss 4 pounds i still feel my baby move and i only eat because i know i should is this normal

[nicnak1983]

Hi Anna,

Glad im not the only one! Im 29 weeks pregnant and have just recently started feeling exactly the same as i did in the first couple of weeks into pregnancy! I dont want to eat, I dont fancy anything, I'm sick if i do eat/drink certain things and I just feel blar with a constant "ikky" feelng in my tummy. My little girl is kicking and riggling like normal tough and my midwife has said it is pretty normal to feel like this because as the baby is growing it is pressing against everything (including the stomach) she did say I should continue to try and eat small things and continue taking my vitamins.....

I am 4 weeks long. I have loss of appetite, no nausea yet. Just never hungry. When i do eat,  I get tummy aches.

[AmGlindskog]

I never knew I was pregnant until Im on my 6th week of pregnancy (that's when I started feeling nauseus and I vomit a lot) But before that, I totally have lost my appetite, I don't like to cook food anymore coz they make me sick.  The smell of coffee brewing is totally a torture, so I try to avoid passing by coffee shops.  Even at home, I dont stay in the kitchen if my husbands drinking coffee.  

Now Im on my 10th week and still feeling a little nauseaus and I dont want to eat except for salad.  Thanks for all the previous posts, Im not alone in this stage after all.

So try to experiment on what you can eat, tomatoes or pineapple, if you're stomach doesn't want those then avoid them.  

Good luck and take care!
