Normal for loss of appetite when pregnant???

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

hi everyone i have been reading this thread and felt that maybe some of you could give my situation some input, I have had a complete appetite loss for about a month, i just havent been hungry no hunger pains or anything, Then yesterday my hunger came back in full force i have been eating everything in sight! As far as I know I am not pregnant because I have been having normal bleeding. I did read that it is possible to have bleeding that is very similar to a normal period. I have also been extremely tired and sore and nauseous, Could I be pregnant and not have realized it? Would it be worth taking a test or am I just over thinking it? I usually have a big appetite and can go with little to no sleep. Any input at all would be appreciated.

I just found out I am about 9 weeks pregnant and I also have an aversion to eating... especially if I just come home after work. I'm usually just tired. So, to help 'ensure' I get all my vitamins, I drink an Ensure or Boost to keep my tummy full. I think this is normal from all the previous comments but I will also check with my doctor tomorrow... for my first prenatal visit! So excited! Either way, just take the necessary steps to keep yourself aware of what is going on in your body. Never hurts to ask a doctor!

Congrats to all the new preggies!

it is normal to have a negative test. i had one negative also, sometimes if you are still very early in pregnancy it wont show up on the test.. hope this helps (:

Hey, it's me again. So it's been two months since I've last posted and I'm thinking that I really am pregnant. It's all very confusing because I've taken three home pregnancy tests and they all came back negative. I also took a blood test and it was negative... and I'm still having periods but they're late and odd. I know that some women can have periods all the way through pregnancy and tests are undetected, so I'm thinking I may be one of those women...?

My symptoms include, really bad nausea and dizziness, shortness of breath, sharp shards of pain in my stomach, extreme tiredness, mood swings, and headaches. I noticed that you said something about a UTI? Would that cause negative tests? My family keeps telling me that I'm not prego, but I tell them that something is very different in me... Possibly I'm making myself have symptoms, but I doubt it. I don't a baby THAT bad.

Please help! I am really freaking out. If I am pregnant, it was conceived on Feb. 14th, so I'd almost be 3 months. I'm still taking sleeping pills, depression meds, and birth control, and I'm afraid that I may be hurting the baby.
