Hi all

I am 6weeks 4 days...when eating dinner - I feel really full quickly and I can normally eat alot more. Its not my appetite but I just feel stuffed. Is this a pregnancy thing or something else? I have been like it since Friday last week...

Congratulations!

Im 38 weeks and I've also had this from the start. Ive only put on a stone but the midwife has told me its normal for some to lose their appetite and to try and eat as healthy a diet as I can, when I do want to eat.

If you are really concerned, you can talk to your midwife at your booking appointment. Im sure they see this all the time. Dont worry too much Smile

I had this for ages and it's only just subsiding, slowly, along with my sickness. I'm 19 weeks tomorrow.
I'm sure someone will be along with a reason soon. :)

I think it's got something to do with your digestion slowing down so that the baby can get as many nutrients from what you are eating as possible. Excuse my forwardness but are you also noticing a lack of frequency in the toilet department?

lucky you! I can personally still stuff my face and I'm 33+1!

I'm usually a total pig and I can barely make it through one course at the moment. I'm 17 weeks and still half a stone lighter than when I got pregnant. (I'm overweight so not exactly sad about this!). Currently I'm looking at the work Christmas lunch menu I have to pay upfront for, and wishing I didn't have to waste money on a whole three courses! It's not great, because I usually take so much pleasure from food, and I feel I'm missing out on this at the moment.

I was horribly bloated in the first trimester. Now I'm in the third I can hardly eat anything at all - there's just no room!

cowboylover · 25/11/2010 18:38

I have been the same and I am now 15 weeks and lost 3 lost but got plenty to loose so not an issue!

Havingkittens - Dont worry about asking! Well to be honest Ive been more regular than normal!

Ive never known anything like it - I am off chicken too for some reason? I was really worried as symptoms had pretty much gone but Ive been feeling worse today...which has made me feel better - ha ha - make sense of that!

Thanks natmay27 Ive never read about feeling full early in all the books. Its odd make a meal thats smaller anyway and STILL cant finish it! Im having to graze all day to keep the nausea at bay too today.
