3rd trimester and no appetite

Anyone else experiencing this?!
Doctors told me I need to eat more bc I have very low blood sugar, I gained a good amount of weight (about 25lbs) already .. make it make sense 😭

My appetite is much worse than before pregnancy, gained 13 pounds by 28 weeks.

Are you able to eat small meals/snacks but more frequently?

Avatar

yes, I am. The difference is that I have no cravings, but a lot of aversions instead. In my first trimester, I had to eat something small all the time because nausea was worse if I was hungry. Not the case anymore, just have less desire to eat tasty food.

oh no. Im sorry you’re going through that!

I have 0 cravings and just eat because I know I have to. Been like this most of my pregnancy. I'm 28weeks and 4 days

same! I’ve never had such a lack of appetite in my life very bizarre

it's weird for me too. Things I used to love to eat, are just meh for me! Even cheese 😭 and I've loved cheese all my life

I feel this! I'm already kinda tiny so I've been afraid I'm not growing enough. While baby is super active all the time, I'm just not nearly as hungry as I was pre-pregnancy and even when I eat half a meal I sometimes feel like I ate too much and get so uncomfortable 😮‍💨 I have my 28 week appt this Friday so I hope I'm at least not dipping below the tenth percentile

I don’t have my first growth scan until 30 weeks! My belly has been fine so far but they haven’t told me percentiles yet. Good luck at your appointment!!

Avatar

same!! Things I would have loved to eat guilt free it’s like nope I’m good! 😂

Avatar

absolutely none!! Ate a small breakfast at 9 and am still stuffed 😭

What appetite? What cravings? Haven’t had an appetite for as long as I can remember and when I do eat I feel like it’s such a job just deciding what I actually want. Many aversions! Eating because I have to

Avatar

it’s so odd because I’ll get an urge to eat because i’m hungry and as quick as it comes it goes! Haha I’ve had like 3 lunches and small bites from all

Avatar

Same! I get SO bloated when I eat I have been eating half of what I normally would!

Avatar

My appetite has been really low in my 3rd trimester as well. And I'm experiencing morning sickness symptoms again. I'm already petite, so I'm hoping that whatever I'm able to eat in a day is enough for baby!

Pregnant with baby 2

Hi everyone! I gave birth via emergency c section 9 months ago as my baby boy was measuring big, he pooped inside so there was risk of him inhaling it and I wasn’t progressing past 3cm to have a natural birth and now I’m currently 20 weeks pregnant with my 2nd baby. I’m having a consultation on Tuesday to talk about birth options and to have any questions answered but I don’t know what to ask. I feel like it would be safer having a c section again but at the same time I don’t want a c section. Does anyone have any question ideas I could ask or any advice/stories of similar situations. Tia

I have a feeling like I might get attacked from this but I’m going to say it anyways. incognito 🥸 GLP1s being mainstream for regular people who are NOT diabetic or morbidly obese is bad for so many reasons 💉💉💉

Side affects, long term dependency, supply shortages and costs, regaining the weight back as soon as you get off them.. all that ASIDE how do people not see just from a zoomed out perspective how crazy it is. I can’t imagine being someone facing food insecurity in an underdeveloped country and watching westerners give themselves daily jabs so they can lose weight while still eating a calorie surplus/ crappy foods. It’s giving hunger games when district 12 Katniss finds out at the party at the capital that people eat and then take a pill to make themselves sick so they can 🤮 and eat some more. These ads running ozempic everywhere are disgusting, and then getting amazing athletes like Serena Williams to push them talking bout “i’ve never been healthier” girl you were an OLYMPIC athlete wym??

Getting pregnant after c section

When did you get pregnant again after a c section? Our plan was always to have 2 under 2 but that is now out the window because I had an emergency section. I know they say 18 months and we will be sticking to it (as much as I don’t want to) but I’m curious how quickly you got pregnant after your section?

Movements

I’m 28 weeks tomorrow. Yesterday I had loads and loads of movements but today I have only felt small flutters and a couple of kicks throughout the day. I get so confused as some people say they don’t have a pattern but others say they do. We have a Doppler so used it this evening and could hear the heartbeat and then moving but does anyone else get quieter days of movement than others? I am seeing my midwife tomorrow so will check but just find myself getting anxious about it and don’t know when to get checked. I know they encourage it but last time as soon as I got to triage baby started moving loads!
