No Appetite???? Concerned!

[Gelica36]

Is it normal to hardly have an appetite at 5 weeks. Haven't really eaten much today. A banana and a tiny bowl of Cheerios and a handful of chips. I really don't feel hungry right now. Think I may have lost a couple lbs. Concerned!

Haven't had an appetite my entire pregnancy. Great as at 39weeks I am in good shape, no back pain, not a whale and people remark on how healthy and fit I look. (And feel).  The important thing is quality for two and quantity for one. Stay well hydrated, munch some pregnancy vitamins and if you get a large appetite in your second trimester try to remember you only need 10%more than normal and most of us eat 20% more than we need when we're not pregnant!
(And I'm not skinny by the way (BMI 24 normally) which is why I didn't need to gain much weight during pregnancy). Baby growing well (they're great parasites!)

Completely typical in 1st couple months of pregnancy. Many women lose weight due to nausea and vomiting in 1st few weeks. Nothing to be concerned about.

Thank you, i do feel nauseas but it isn't really bad right now. Was this morning. Some days I feel like a bottomless pit and some days I feel super full and didn't really eat much.

Try not to stress, its completey normal in 1st trimester not to lose weight due to loss of appetite, nausea and watching what you eat. You dont need to put on much at all in 1st trimester as baby is so tiny and their needs are so small. What nutrtition they do need they will steal from you so try to go for quality foods whenever you do eat and remember to stay hydrated.
