where is the hunger?

I'm 19w4d with baby #3, first boy, this entire pregnancy I'm just not hungry. I have to force myself to eat and some days I go all day without eating due to my clingy 9 month old and my hyper 7 year old.. I've lost 15 lbs so far and have a small bump but most can't even tell I'm pregnant. Is the feeling of no hunger normal, especially for second trimester? I figured it would have picked up. I saw my baby boy 3 days ago and he was very active 143 bpm heat rate. I'm just concerned that he's not being nourished enough especially on days I just don't eat but once. Any experience or advice is greatly appreciated.

I don't have much of an appetite either amd have also lost a lot of weight, but my Dr said that as long as baby is growing and healthy, and I take my vitamins, it doesn't bother him.

My first child I never ate. I was sick all the time too though. This time I wasn't hungry until a few days ago and I will be 15 weeks tomorrow. I'm making up for it though now lol.
