I don't think I eat enough
I feel like at almost 19 weeks I should have my appetite back but I don't. I eat at least 3 meals a day but don't eat much in between. I barely get any fruits and veggies in. I drink a V8 most days but not all. Fruit seems too acidy for me and veggies aren't the most appealing. Is this bad?

Re: I don't think I eat enough
Then i wouldnt worry about not eating enough... The baby is going to take what it needs from you even if you arent eating enough. The first few months i couldnt eat anything and the baby was fine. As long as you try and get the foods you need youll be fine.

Re: I don't think I eat enough
I was the same but ate mostly two meals a day. I would try and stay hydrated and drank alot of skim milk with Nestle powder in it. I started losing a slight amount of weight but the doc wasn't concerned. Hydration they said was more important as long as I wasn't starving.

Re: I don't think I eat enough
try to eat veggies, but maybe have them raw with salad dressing. At least you would be getting the vitamins.
If I am not in the mood, I eat them steamed with a little butter or olive oil and bread crumbs. YUM! or add them to pasta with olive oil and cheese!

If your doctor isn't concerned and you aren't losing weight, then don't worry about it.
I lost 13lbs by week 13 and only gained 6lbs total by the time I delievered and when my doctor was concerned, she told me.

Re: I don't think I eat enough
Thanks everyone for making me feel better. I do drink about 80oz of water most days so I am pretty good about staying hydrated. I think I do need to get more calcium in though. I really don't get much of that either.

Re: I don't think I eat enough
I wouldnt worry about it unless you are losing weight or the baby doesnt appear to be growing..I felt like I barely ate anything too. Never really had much of an appetite and simply ate 3 meals a day b/c of the baby. I still managed to pack on 35lbs by the end...Which I have since lost all of except 5lbs!!! (DS is 2 1/2 weeks old)

I was in the hospital last week for dehydration. I was told that we should be drinking 8-12 ounces of water per hour!

Re: I don't think I eat enough
I didnt eat anything until my 4th mt - dont worry about it - you are fine. I lost so much weight from morning sickness, was convinced I wouldnt gain any weight, and then BOOM 40 pounds starting at 6 mts!!!

Re: I don't think I eat enough
If you your dr isn't concerned, I wouldn't worry too much. Make sure you take your pre-natal vitamin though.

Re: I don't think I eat enough
I didnt have appetite throughout my whole pregnancy... I ate very little and I actually ate because I had to not because I wanted to... my son is as healthy as can be, just take your prenatals, they are important for you as well as the baby...

I wouldn't worry about it either. Eat when you are hungry is my motto.

Me too! I eat when I feel like it, I have light healthy snacks and don't make being PG an excuse to overload on snacks!
