18w and loss of appetite

[MrsMonkeyBear]

Before I go pestering my MW or GP, I was wondering if this was normal. I didn't stop eating in my first trimester and noticed in the last couple of weeks. Some days I eat normally and the rest of the time, even though I feel hungry, I'll eat 2 or 3 mouthfuls and feel full. I manage a yogurt and some fruit for breakfast, lunch is a sandwich (well 3/4 of one) and dinner is whatever hubby cooks and I manage a couple of mouthfuls and give up. I will have a couple of biscuits and a glass of milk before bed. I'm drinking plenty of fluids, around 6-8 pints a day.

This happened to me around this time. I remember calling my sister and nearly crying because I felt like my insides were choking me! I don'tknow if it was my insides rearranging or being, um, blocked up! But I started taking fibre every day and soon things felt better. Try that!

Will give it a go, going to send hubby to get me some prune juice and fruit and fibre when he finishes work.

I started taking fybogel, twice a day at first and now just one. The "full" feeling hasn't come back so recommend it.

I didnt have an appitite until 24-25wks ish. I was just put off everything! I was absolutly shitting it at my 20wk scan as i thought they were going to say babys too small......but he proved me wrong, was big for 20wks loool and is still a growing chunk in my tum, so i domt worry now hes getting his nutrients from somewhere in my body lol it is normal i got told, but it varies from woman to woman. Some have ravenous appities through the whole pregnancy and some dont and some like us just loose our taste for food all together! She said aslong as im drinking plenty babys fine. Im sure ul get it back :) like i said i did but it came with a vengance lol ive put on two stone since getting it back and now a size 14, usually 10-12 so just be careful lol i couldnt be bothered try and hold back was doing my nut in! So i just gave in :( im determined to get my size back and tone back up afterwards though. It doesnt help as i used to have eating disorder and some of those thoughts still linger -.- so my mind is always boggled! X

Thanks ladies.

boogles I did suffer from a bit of an eating disorder, but it was really random one. I had a very limited diet as I was scared certain food would make me sick. So for 2 years I lived off chicken, mash, broccoli, sweetcorn and cheese.

I'm feeling quite hungry today but only want ice cream, biscuits and decaf tea. But it's better than nothing!
