Hi I'm 5 months pregnant about 3 or 4 days ago I had a really big meal, it was so tasty that I couldn't stop even when I was full i justified it by saying "its Christmas" and forced myself to eat the whole thing, I felt overly stuffed for hours, the next day I felt overly stuffed, today I still feel overly stuffed I haven't been eating very much since then, I had toast this morning and 2 strawberrys just now and it only took those 2 strawberry to bring back that feeling of being overly stuffed I'm miserable should I take laxatives? The feeling of fullness is coming from the very top of my tummy

I had this with both pregnancies to the extent I really couldn't enjoy food whilst pregnant. Never found out why. And this was from fairly early on. Sorry not much
help !

I have this, I just have to eat smaller portions now else I regret it. Even if I’m hungry I will stop myself eating more. Little and often is better.

I'm the same, I'm 6 months and have felt like this for the past couple of months. We had a lovely family dinner yesterday and I could barely eat half of my plate because I just felt like I couldn't fit any more in, it isn't like I'm not hungry there just doesn't feel like there's enough room.
There's plenty of days I can eat breakfast in the morning and be fine until dinner time, I have to make myself have some sort of light lunch because I know baby needs the goodness.
I don't remember feeling like this with my last pregnancy but then I do feel a lot bigger a lot earlier this time round so I've no idea if that has anything to do with it.

I had this through two pregnancies too and can relate to everything that PP have said. Some foods seemed to make it worse but it was a bit of trial and error to find out what to avoid.
