Is this lack of appetite normal?

[AELLE7]

Usually I have a huge appetite and can eat a lot but I'm in my 1st trimester with my first and I can barely eat at all without feeling stuffed. I suffered with nausea for a while but I know it's not related to that as it eased off (8 weeks +) I cannot finish a plate of dinner and I am never hungry throughout the day which is really strange. I assume it's pregnancy related and I don't think it helps that I have been suffering from being bloated and gassy these past few weeks, but I'm really worried it's not normal.

Yes, unfortunately, it can be. I've had minimal nausea with all my pregnancies, but completely lost my appetite until 2nd tri. In fact, the only pregnancy I didn't feel like that was the one where I had a mc. I guess it's better than being sick all the time, but it's a bit sad to not enjoy food for a few months!

Had this in all three of my pregnancies (although so far only 15 weeks into pg no 3)

I was a stone lighter in the weeks after I gave birth to DD than I was when she was conceived.

Sadly put it all back on again quite quickly whilst breastfeeding.

Yep, and continued through pregnancy (i was big to start with though)
I was 26 pounds lighter than my booking weight a few days post birth. As a pp said, breastfeeding put it all back on.

I’m 19 weeks and only just really starting to get anything that resembles an appetite, and it still isn’t anything like pre-pregnancy so have a fair way to go yet

Happened with all 3 of mine.
Completely off of food - didn't fancy anything.
Completely out of character as usually I love my food and will eat anything.
My appetite came back mid way through 2nd trimester.

Thank you for your replies! I'm a worrier and It was just so out of the ordinary for me as I have a big big appetite! My partner loves it though as he gets second helpings when I leave half my dinner!

I normally one of the greediest people I know. but I'm now 18+5 and still don't have a great appetite. I'm actually quite pleased as I thought I'd pile on the pounds but so far I've put 2.5lbs on.
