Lack of appetite

I lost my appetite for food through my whole pregnancy and it still hasn’t returned. I eat because I have to, not because I enjoy it. I hate the feeling of being full and tend to snack rather than eat full meals. I used to LOVE my food so this is really weird to me. Has anyone else experienced this post-partum?

I have the opposite, I had really bad nausea almost all the way through, food aversion and loss of appetite but post partum has seen me having to control my portion cause I’m never full, I’m loving food, flavours etc

I loved food anyways but it’s a whole new level.
I think the power of hormones cannot be underestimated, give it time it may come back as post partum is not just 6 weeks it’s years.
But see what others say

Are you breast feeding?

This changes how your body craves food. I was reading about how your body wants snacks, sugar whilst breast feeding as your body is using more calories. And how it’s important to give yourself 3 balanced meals to support your body and hormones.

But like the person above says are hormones change and postpartum takes a long time to get back to normal.
