Reduced appetite at 21 wks?

[titferbrains]

Am not much in the mood for anything right now, except homemade cake which I am trying not to make.... Anyone else just not feeling very interested in food? Normally my day revolves around my meals!

Me. I'm 23 wks. I think maybe it's got to the point where the baby is starting to squash my stomach and so I just don't feel as hungry as much..?

[titferbrains]

yes, I do feel vaguely peckish but no energy or interest to sort out something proper to eat. So this eve I've had my dd's rejected rice, and a quarter of a pb and J sandwich - also rejected by DD. no desire for my usual meat carb and veg. Poor dh is getting some mystery meat dish from the freezer and some couscous..

I'm also losing interest in proper food. Get the odd craving and if someone suggests something to me I do fancy it but when it comes to eating it I feel full fast and can't be bothered to eat.

Need to start eating more though because I have started losing weight!

I am 22wks and struggling to eat the same size portions as my 6yr old DD. I figure the baby is just taking up all my food space!

Baby also has a severe dislike of fast food so thats a bonus but not when you feel lazy . Luckily i have a lovely DH who can cook as last week a happy meal didnt make it out of the car park before re-appearing!

I am snacking on grapes and special k bites as they are easy to nibble and save me from feeling dizzy.

lack of appetite continues. made a rubbish stirfry this eve just to cram some veg in. does feel odd not to be getting very hungry as it doesn't particularly feel like baby is pushing up on my stomach, tho I suppose that as womb and placenta grow there is less room generally. Just spent weekend in paris and wasn't even particularly fussed about the food I had there, except the chips !

Nice to say hello to a few people due at same time tho! I had my scan last week and all fine, thank goodness. Baby is a right little wriggler and I'm getting nervous that the last couple of months are going to be seriously uncomfortable.

I've found that I'm eating less but not because I'm less hungry but because I just don't really fancy anything (which is v. v. v. weird for me!!). Nausea seems to be back again now too (22 weeks) - v. odd

I usually have a healthy appetite and am picking at everything at the moment - we have an awards day at school tomorrow which culminates in the most fab buffet of all time and I know I will just be picking!!:( ( 19 weeks)

Named the bump Gutsy because I was so hungry for the first 3 months or so, but now kind of not that interested in food. Therefore glad to know I am not the only one. My bump does appear to be a bit of a health nut though as I come home from shopping with loads of fruit and veg and nothing for the tea to fill everyone up.

[PinkFondantFancy]

My bump should hang around with your bump howabout -mine demands cake, donuts and burgers.....

Dh and DC persuaded bump and I that trip to mcDonalds was in order yesterday and I have to say that I feel like a new woman so perhaps your bump has more sense than mine PinkFondantFancy.
