No appetite:(

Hi my name is Tabitha and Im 17 weeks and 5 days preggo today. And I dont know if I am normal, lol. I seem to have lost my appetite! I have to make myself eat! I can go all day with out eating befor Iam hungry...Is this normal? Or am I just weird?  Yesterday was Easter and I only ate about 1/4 of the food on my plate and I was so stuffed! I know that at the end of my last 2 pregnancys I had this problem due to lack of room, but I did eat alot just more frequent smaller meals. Every one jokes to me about not wanting to get in the way of a pregnant woman and her food....lol, not in my case. Anyone eles have this problem? Or is there something wrong with me?
P.s I do drink alot...I feel like I am allways thristy! I guess I could drink less and maybe I would have room for food:)

I have a lot of those days when i just cant be bothered to eat but it doesnt help knowing that i will be sick afterwards, im 26wks and still got bad morning sickness. I make sure i drink plenty of water, and i havnt had any cravings yet. When i go to supermarket it always makes me feel sick looking at the food.

Thank you, I was a little worried:)
I remember being pregnant with #1 and#2 and eating out, I would always order from the kids menu. Most of the time they were ok with it but, a few of the resteruants acually told me if I wasnt under 12 I coulnd order from it, Of all the nerve!
Its kinda nice in a way not having an appetite because I have put on over 15lbs already!!! So I am ovously eating and doing something right, lol!
I have been craving watermelon though, too bad its out of season:(

Perfectly normal...oh I have THOOOSE days!!! I seriously had no apetite at all and all I could do was drink because I was more thirsty than hungry....and there's times where I'm literally starving...stomach growling...feel like throwing up because I havent eat and I still don't have an apetite but my stomach tells me I'M HUNGRY...but when I am hungry I CAN EAT AWAY lol. I'm 28 weeks and 2 days and just the other day I had no apetite at all and everyones freaking out like "YOU HAVE TO EAT!!" Hell no! My doctor even told me that its pretty common and when you feel that way don't FORCE yourself to eat a meal because its just gonna come right back up, but if I can to eat little stuff like grapes, oranges, and other fruits.
