Can't eat as much

I am very early (5 weeks) yet find I can only eat a 1/4 of what I could before I found out I was pregnant. If I eat more than that I am so unbelievably full and bloated after eating. Has this happened to anyone else this early? Any ideas why it may happen??? Thanks in advance.

Re: Can't eat as much

Same thing happened to me I heard it is because of an increase in progesterone.

Me too. It would hit 5 pm, and it is like my stomach would shut off.

The good thing is that I have been told to gain only 15 lbs this pregnancy and here I am at 10w5d, and I haven't gained anything!

I try to get my best vitamins in the morning knowing dinner is not an option.

Happened to me also and still is. It's perfectly fine, just eat smaller, more spread out meals

Thanks for the info! Comforting to know that others have gone through it too. Happy and healthy 9 months to you all!

Re: Can't eat as much

yes happened to me with BOTH pregnancies and for the entire pregnancy, especially towards the end.

Re: Can't eat as much

Yup same thing happened to me starting at like 6 weeks and still feeling it (at almost 10 weeks).
