Not to hungry

I know its so new, but i have not been so hungry (other then wanting pizza and mac n cheese
But i am worreid b/c arent you suppose to eat even more then you normally do. I just am afraid i am not getting enough nurtrients. I am a picky eater to begin with so i am already limited with foods i will eat. Atleast i am taking a prenatal vitamin and a multivitamin. I just feel like i am not eating the "recommended" 5 servings fruits and veggies, etc
Anyone else in this boat?

Re: Not to hungry

I don't think I have ever gotten the recommended amount of fruit or veggies, but hopefully the prenatal vitamins will compensate for that.

Re: Not to hungry

You only need to eat 500 extra calories a day - I was nervous because I wasn't eating at all my 1st trimester, and I lost 13 pounds from morning sickness, even when I did eat, I really ate very little - the baby gets the nutrients before you do, so the baby is fine....

I still don't eat that much, and I'm still below my pre-pregnancy weight at almost 4 months.... everyone can't believe I'm pregnant - but I certainly see a belly!!!

Re: Not to hungry

I am 22 weeks and still haven't really gotten a huge appetite. I get full very easily and can't finish meals and don't even get hungry later.

But my belly is growing so I think all is well.

Listen to your body, it knows what it needs.

Re: Not to hungry

It depends on your size. Usually you need between 300-500 extra calories per day (the higher number if you are really thin.) I wasn't that hungry for most of my first trimester and now I just started my second and I am STARVING all day long.

You only need between 300-500 extra calories...that's a couple glasses of OJ/juice.
