Anyone else suffering from loss of appetite in second trimester?

Had really bad nausea (and sometimes sick) until about 15.5 weeks and couldn’t stop eating as it made me feel better.

Now nausea has lifted and have gone opposite way - feel really hungry but then when food arrives, pick at it and can barely eat. Having to really force self. I do have a cold at the moment too which may not be helping but anyone else finding this?

Apparently you’re meant to gain around 1lb per week in second trimester so a bit worried I won’t as not eating anywhere near what normally do

I was starving hungry during the first trimester. No matter how much I ate I just never felt full. I'm now 15 weeks and can't eat much as I feel uncomfortably full very quickly.

I'm actually glad I can't eat much as during my first trimester I ate loads and gained 4lbs 😱

Don't worry about your weight. 1lb per week is only a guideline. I only gained 14lbs my entire pregnancy with my last child and she was 10lbs!

I lost weight in second trimester because my appetite was next to none.. 34 weeks now and eating everything in my path

I’m the same, I feel really hungry a lot of the time, but when I have a plate of food in front of me I pick at it, and eat very little. Then I’m starving again in no time. I had to force myself to eat lunch today. I’m taking pregnancy vitamins and just trying to eat as best I can.

Good to know it’s not just me! I had to force lunch down too. I’ve even gone off pudding after tea!

I am 30 weeks and am 2 pounds lighter than my pre pregnancy weight! I've eaten what I liked but not really eaten more than I used to (always loved my food!)

Me 🙋‍♀️🙋‍♀️ had basically zilch appetite Until about 38 weeks? A combination of baby sat on my stomach and terrible acid reflux 🤢 improved after baby dropped though!

Was just about to start a similar thread! I'm just into my 2nd trimester and feeling the same. I was lucky and didn't have much sickness in the first but was really hungry all the time. Now, the idea of having breakfast or a big meal turns my stomach. I'm trying to pick at fruit throughout the day, then have decent meal at night.
