Lost appetite since having baby

Has anyone else fully lost there appetite since having baby ? It's been 3 weeks since I had a c section and I just can't eat.
I know it's busy and easy to forget you havnt eaten but I literally never feel hungry at all and never no what I want to eat. Considering Whilst I was pregnant I absolutely loved my food an was so greedy an over ate all the time 🫤

I'm exactly 7 weeks PP and I haven't had much of an appetite since giving birth!

I'm 7 weeks PP now and have just started getting my appetite back but some days I think I'm just overtired and don't feel like eating and don't fancy anything or just forget ! Up to 3/4 weeks I was living on smoothies, it was all I could manage x

Yep! 4 weeks PP after a c section on Tuesday and the first 2 weeks for sure but it’s now coming back.

Now 7 weeks pp and I hardly eat at all x

I feel a little bit like this. I never know what to eat because I don’t fancy anything in particular, I could easily skip meals. I eat because I know I need to eat. But when I do eat something I like I still enjoy it and can have big portions.

I had a c section just over 4 weeks ago and have only just got my appetite back. I didn’t want to eat anything really for the first 2 weeks. So I just snacked when I felt like it rather than trying to eat big meals. I think it’s quite common after a c section. Xx

6 weeks pp and only just got appetite back

I’m 1.5 weeks pp and am not hungry at all. I do currently have mastitis so wasn’t sure if it’s that too but I only really want to snack on biscuits, I can’t stomach a whole meal!

I am 3 weeks PP and I eat only if my fiancée or someone else cooks for me ! I would have some ready sandwiches handy and try to nibble on them even if you not hungry ! You need food to have energy to look after the little one :)

Day out after c section

Hey,
I had an emergency c section 1 week ago I obviously don't want a day out right now but I have things booked for the Easter holidays so in 2 weeks. I was just wondering if I will be overdoing it if I have a day out then or will I be ok? I would still take it as easy as I could. When did everyone feel good enough to go out?

Reduced Movements

Has anyone else gone in for monitoring for reduced movements and as soon as you arrive at triage the baby starts moving and the CTG is normal? It makes me feel like I am over reacting.

2nd pregnancy after c section

I’m not planning on getting pregnant anytime soon but in the future possibly. I just wanted to know how is pregnancy after c section like my fear is having to go through another emergency operation or even putting strain on my incision during pregnancy

Baby Movements

Hello, I’m a FTM currently 18W5D pregnant. I’ve been getting this tugging feeling in my stomach after I eat, it’s uncomfortable but not painful. I don’t know whether that’s the baby moving or round ligaments pain.

I’ve also been getting round ligament pain which is either a sharp stabbing pain or a stretching sensation. These happens whether or not I’ve eaten while the tugging feeling is only after I’ve eaten.

So, could the tugging feeling be the baby or something else.

Anyone getting a private scan at exactly 6weeks

I just wanna know my baby is actually there after losing my first at 5w

Labour

Think im a bit confused really, i went into traige as was having contractions eveey 3-5mins. Since being here im now having them every 2-3mins which was confirmed with the machine and i think the toco was 90-100 and they feel painful and my lower back is in loads of pain but apparently im only just over 2cm dilated maybe, she has said i can stay here for a bit longer to see if things progress as had a previous quick birth as well but i dont understand why the pains are coming this quick if im only 2cm dilated and feel a bit deflated from it also.

I had a sweep this morning also.
