I am 8 days postpartum and I haven't had an appetite since my little lady came along via an emergency c section. Please tell me this is normal? Currently running on tea and chocolate ๐ซ

Iโm 13 days PP and I had an emergency C section, my appetite still isnโt the same. Are you on any medication as this can alter that. X

no medication apart from the odd paracetamol. Had 7 days of injections for blood clots. Fingers crossed it returns for both of us soon ๐ค๐ป x

I was the same way!! I wanted a lot of chocolate, but that makes sense, because I lost a lot of blood and chocolate is rich in magnesium.
Take some magnesium supplements!
But your appetite will slowly return :)

i was the same; only water and coffee ; no worries

With my first I definitely didn't have an appetite for about 10 days. Lived off oranges. I did get quite unwell though and fainted a few times, so try and keep hydrated and eat little and often, if you fancy chocolate maybe chocolate spread on toast? You'll soon adjust back round though xx

I was the exact same after my first child itโs like you run in adrenaline ๐

Week three and still no appetite!

Thanks ladies. I'm sure it will return at some point. My appetite during pregnancy was HUGE ๐ So I'm sure it will come back when it's ready x

It was the same for me after the emergency c-section. Lucozade was a lifesaver
