Loss of appetite in 3rd trimester

Has anyone experienced a massive loss of appetite in the 3rd trimester? I know this is the time I’m meant to be stocking up and baby should be doubling each week pretty much😂 but I just can’t bring myself to want to eat throughout the day.

Makes a huge change to the pig I was in the first trimester!

I’m in a similar boat. I have a loss of appetite on top of getting full SO quickly. I think that’s what is causing it tbh. I spent an hour cooking last night to have 4 mouthfuls and I was done. It drives my partner mad!

Yes, the same. Appetite not great, feel full and bloated after eating small amounts and get acid reflux occasionally.
Not too glamorous! 😂

I am wondering if it is the position of baby squishing my stomach! But I want to eat to get nutrition in but just can’t bring myself too 🥲

My baby is head down already but it’s the uterus pushing against the stomach I think, and of course, the usual culprits- the hormones.

I’ve started eating multiple small meals through the day to keep the nutrition in check.

Yeah my baby is head down too! Maybe it’s the feet pushing against my stomach who knows!

Yea I'm struggling to eat so badly but I know my body needs it cos my iron levels are down and I feel so lethargic! But i start to eat and get full quickly or just don't have much of an appetite. I think it is baby position and pressure on stomach and also maybe the heat.

Yeah it's normal in 3rd trimester, I'm 31 weeks and baby is head down but her legs are pushing against my ribs and stomach which is causing bad acid reflux and for me to feel full so not eating alot. By what I've been told just an extra piece of toast is enough for the extra calories

I thought it was just me, I’m eating like I’m on a diet, can’t even finish a large pizza anymore

I had that for a week or two when the baby was squeezing my organs more than normal but it seems to have returned now. I think he moved a bit and I can eat a bit more

Avatar

I’m the other way around I haven’t wanted to eat much in first and second trimester and now I just seem to want to eat everything 🙈😂 still only really small portions that I can eat but now I want to eat all the time where before I could go for hours without anything but water or decaf tea x

Yes! I’m on holiday and the three meals a day is killing me. I’m just not hungry and think the heat isn’t helping either

Glad not alone feel like I’m eating for sake of it. Not had cravings either and 31weeks. Consultant confirm all ok and not need to eat for two but just worry right nutrients being passed on. Like most little often but lost enjoyment with certain foods that used to spice tastebuds weird symptoms 🤣
