Where has my appetite gone?

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 ๐Ÿซ

Iโ€™m 13 days PP and I had an emergency C section, my appetite still isnโ€™t 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 ๐Ÿคž๐Ÿป 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 :)

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

Thanks ladies. I'm sure it will return at some point. My appetite during pregnancy was HUGE ๐Ÿ˜‚ 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
