Ok, seriously.. is anyone NEVER hungry?!
So my ONLY pregnancy complaint in the first trimester was having food aversions.
I am now almost 15 weeks and it has gotten so much worse. I LITERALLY have to remind myself to eat and then force myself to do so several times a day.
All I want is to be HUNGRY!!! Even when I do "get in the mood" for something, it sits in front of me and I take two bites and push it away. I do ok with forcing myself to eat carb type things but FORGET any kind of chicken or red met. Ugh.
I am nervous that Im not eating enough and am just frustrated. Sometimes when I think back on what I ate on given day I get really upset because it definitely isnt enough to be healthy for a nonpregnant person. Friday, for example, I had half a PB&J, an apple and half an Elios pizza.
Will this go away? Does anyone have any suggestions?

Re: Ok, seriously.. is anyone NEVER hungry?!
I have my moments like that... DH has to remind me to eat 3 meals sometimes... and I'm 30 weeks 
But it's then evened out by me eating lunch, followed by fruit, followed by a yogurt or nuts

Re: Ok, seriously.. is anyone NEVER hungry?!
yep.. it happened to me
I used to tell my hubby that food looked like pictures on a wall to me and had no appeal at all.
It passed.. i remember forcing myself to eat SOMETHING.. its hard.

Re: Ok, seriously.. is anyone NEVER hungry?!
Oh I am hungry but I have no room for food. Between the size of my stomach being so friggin small and the fact that it is now squished up, I am lucky if I can get anything in!

Re: Ok, seriously.. is anyone NEVER hungry?!
Despite feeling ravenous in the morning, by mid-afternoon, I do NOT want food...this is for the rest of the day too...a few bites of dinner and I am DONE.

this was exactly me up until about 6 months. seriously, my DH thought that there was something wrong with me... i would make up stories about being full quickly so i could get away with never finishing my dinner.
it will get better... as long as you are taking your prenatals and drinking enough fluids, the baby will take what it needs from you to gain weight. and then all of a sudden you will find that you are starving and the food aversions will disappear.  i promise!
i am now up 28 lbs at 32 weeks - the weight managed to pile on no matter what i did.

Re: Ok, seriously.. is anyone NEVER hungry?!
I am a chicken LOVER and when I was preggo the thought of chicken seriously repulsed me (and I still haven't gotten the love for it back again) I was never a big red meat eater so when I was preggo I don't think I really ever ate it....I did eat alot of carbs
STick with what makes you happy...maybe yogurt, bagels, fruits/veggies?

Re: Ok, seriously.. is anyone NEVER hungry?!
I am this way. I was just telling DH it's very frustrating to not have the desire to eat anything, not even junk food.
I usually am a big eater. It's very odd for me to not be able to find one thing that seems appealing. I hope it will end b/c it's extremely upsetting to know you should be eating but just find nothing appealing...I thought it would be gone by now, but it's just not at 18 weeks. I wonder if it will end?

I had hyperemis, I was never hungry. Ever. For 9 months. I just ate to live and usually threw that up.
I only gained 3lbs in the entire 39 weeks I was pregnant.

Re: Ok, seriously.. is anyone NEVER hungry?!
I'm just starting to get my appetite back. I find I can't eat a lot at one sitting, but I am getting hungry a lot now.

Re: Ok, seriously.. is anyone NEVER hungry?!
In the beginning, I had no desire to eat...between the food aversions and ms. Now, I'm 19 weeks....I feel like I never stop eating.
Hopefully, it will change for you.

When did that feeling start?
