Zero appetite at 17 weeks?

Anyone else have this? I have zero appetite at all, today I’ve eaten half a bagel and a couple of chips. I’m drinking a lot of water, feel really thirsty! But also can’t stomach tea or coffee so not even filling up on that. Does anyone else have this? Should I be worried? I used to eat LOADS. Like more than my husband! I did have really bad sickness for the first 16 weeks so wondering if maybe my stomach has just shrunk?

I had this but I also had covid at 14 weeks and that killed that last of appetite. I actually lost weight and I’ve only now gained about 6lbs. I really struggled with my digestion until 22 weeks. I’ve had a period about sick weeks of eating normal sized meals. I’m now 30 weeks and eating kiddie size meals.

It’s so weird, food used to be a huge source of pleasure for me, I don’t really do anything else 🤣 now I can’t bare it. This is my second and I’m not showing at all yet, I thought it was common for you to show earlier with a second? Totally normal weight so not underweight of anything but god id love to go for dinner or want to devour a pizza!

Bump (unintended pun) as I am 15 weeks and the opposite, permanently ravenous and eating lots. Do you feel sick or just Literally not hungry?

I spent the whole time before BFP thinking I’ve gained lots of weight during lockdown so no eating for two. I’m barely eating for one, I mourn going out to eat because I don’t enjoy and I have two bites and I’m full. I have stuff in the freezer I really want to cook but know it’s pointless.

@TillyDevon literally just not hungry! and when I do feel hungry there’s absolutely nothing I feel like eating and then I feel full really quickly! I’m not sick now but I spent the first 16 weeks barely able to get off the sofa and on ondansetron and cyclizine so I’m wondering if maybe my stomach has just shrunk. I was exactly the same as you in my first pregnancy (and prepregnancy!!) but this one, poof! Sad

@Katiekattty it’s so rubbish isn’t it! Im sure my teenage self would have loved this but I just miss eating so much! I feel so lethargic and low energy and know it’s because of lack of food & caffeine!

I've been the same as you really. Currently 36 weeks - still have little appetite.

Try and eat what you can when you can.

My baby is measuring smaller weight wise than they'd like - don't know if its to do with my appetite or the fact I've been pretty sick or just genetics.
