Appetite gone 11 weeks

From about 5 weeks to 10 weeks pregnant, my appetite has been insatiable, I have been hungry all the time, and massive food aversions to my usual favourites (veg and protein).

Now I'm entering week 11 and starting to eat veg again (although still off protein more than before pregnancy) and I've noticed that I'm not starving hungry all the time, in fact I feel very full for a long time after a meal.

I know for most people it's the other way around, just getting a little paranoid ahead of the first scan in just over a week. Did anyone else experience this?

Yup! I still often have this now at 19+2

I have had zero appetite since I found out I was pregnant at 3+3.. No food aversions, per se, and I do get hungry... But I just dont want to eat anything... So my diet has been mostly cereal bars and crisps, as they are easy snack food, for when Im hungry, but dont fancy anything specific (and definitely do NOT want to cook!! LOL)

I was a human dustbin the first 12 weeks (no sickness)
Then since I can barely eat a full dinner. Rarely hungry at the moment and feel full so quickly.

Really fussy with what I fancy too.

Completely normal, I think it’s to do with the progesterone causing your digestive system to slow down. 24 weeks here and rarely hungry. If I do eat a full meal I’m full for ages.

I was wondering if I could have some advice, I'm 17 and I don't have any women in my life to turn to so I'm not quite sure how to navigate things. I had 3 positive pregnancy tests + tons of symptoms but this morning I took another test and it came back negative however i'm still having all the symptoms. so I am not sure what is going on...do any of you know why it could happen? which leads me to my next question i'm not sure how to get a midwife but is it worth getting one even though today I had the negative? (as of this morning...if i'm pregnant i'll be 12 weeks 1 day) I have had continuous bloating but i'm not sure if it is a bump or just fat could you tell me if it looks like the beginning of a baby bump or just fat, it definitely wasn't bloat because I had not eaten that day I actually threw everything up so I was completely empty. I appreciate everything xxxx (i'm in the UK btw)

You definitely need to get a midwife, I believe as you get further through a pregnancy tests can become negative (something I've read on here). If you Google your local area maternity services there should be information about how to contact them, sometimes there's an online form. Failing that you could call your GP on Monday and ask them how to get in touch with midwives. You need to do this soon, as you'll need a scan if you're already 12 weeks.

@MrsLolaBanks you should contact your local EPAU although you may have to do this via A&E as you aren't known to them. You should have registered with them when you found out you were pregnant either via self referral or through GP, as you normally would have had your booking appointment by now, and your first scan (dating scan) would be booked for this week. They can't do your dating scan without your booking bloods being back though and these can take up to a week. Have you been taking folic acid/pregnancy vitamins?

Can't comment on how you look as every body is different, I've 'looked' pregnant since about 8 weeks but I have IBS so I've put this down to my bloat as it does come and go throughout the day. It's unlikely you'd have a bump at 12 weeks if it's your first.
