Loss of Appetite

[Tamara98]

Just wondering if people think this is normal, I gave birth 19days ago and since I have zero Appetite and have totally gone of food. I don't get hungry at all or even feel the need to eat. Iv read this can happen for few days after but it's been nearly 3 weeks now. Let me know what you think? x

Hi, OP

I would say it is normal based on my own experience. I was completely deflated after giving birth, no energy and running on empty.

Remember, you have been through something major and it will take time for your mind and body to get back to some kind of normality.

Try eating little and often. Dried fruit, l used to eat chicken soup ( homemade), whole grains, healthy fats.

Could you get your partner to make you some foods, maybe your mum could make you a dish of hers you like ?

Might be worth asking for your iron levels to be checked.
