2nd trimester starts tomorrow and I am not hungry?

[Preggers 2008]

I don't understand why because I was starving all the time up until two weeks ago. I am lucky to want to eat two decent meals a day now. Anyone know why this is happening??

Before I would eat: Breakfast (7:30), snack (10), Lunch (12:30), snack (3:30), dinner (6:30) and occasionally another snack/dessert (9:00) if dinner was light.

Now : Either breakfast or lunch (if I have one I skip the other) and a snack at about 3:30 and a very light dinner (like 1 small slice pizza or small salad, or 1/4 piece chicken with a little brown rice).


*** Just so everyone knows I go to the doctor again next week and will mention this I just want some input to hopefully put my mind at ease until then***

You don't have to be excessively hungry the entire pregnancy. After all that eating, trust me, you're going to be sick of eating food. Don't worry. Just make sure you eat enough and take your vitamins.

I think you'll be fine. I'm 18 weeks and change my eating habits daily. Some days I need to eat every 15mins it seems, the next I can go hours without having anything. My midwife says that I'll be getting up in the middle of the night to eat (I say stuff that as I prefer to sleep, I'm so tired!!). You're baby will let you know when you need to eat. I don't think you have a problem at all, so don't worry about it. As long as you have enough vitamins, blah, blah, it's fine.

It's normal to have appetite deviations. When I first got pregnant I was thirsty all the time but wasn't really hungry. I was so tired I didn't feel like eating, then I was starving for a month then when I got big I could barely eat anything before I got full. Now at 38 weeks I'm back to starving and thirsty constantly. As long as your getting plenty of water and atleast a couple meals you'll be fine.

very common. just make sure you eat small frequent meals- don't skip breakfast. make sure you get four servings of dairy and 2-3 servings of protein. if you can't eat alot eat calorie dense foods like peanut butter, cheese, beans, eggs. Just keep trying to eat and eat throughout the day. As long as you are gaining and not losing weight it will be okay. it will get better!

I would think that new season has power or influense to your appetite. When I was pregnant everything was different :) At first trimester I did not eat very much at all. It was the same as I would not be pregnant :) I think that your body and baby will say then they will be hungry. Do not worry ;) Good luck
