Not hungry/craving food in my second tri.

Hi! 👋 I wanted to hear everyone else’s experiences 😊

I’m 19 weeks pregnant with my first baby, and I’m a HUGE foodie. But for the last couple of weeks, I just haven’t felt particularly hungry and I haven’t had any cravings yet.

I’m a little surprised because I always hear mums talking about how their appetite went crazy during pregnancy or how they suddenly craved the most random things 😂 I’ve also had people tell me that maybe I’m not craving anything because I’m not deficient in anything, but I’m not sure how true that is.

I need to force myself and eat. I still kinda enjoy it and eat to proper amount but I’m just not interested???

I’m not nauseous anymore either, that stopped after my first trimester.

Did anyone else have a similar experience around 19 weeks? Did the big appetite and cravings come later, or did you just never really get them?

I'm 20 weeks and haven't craved anything either. I've just had a food aversion with any type of meat.
I'm not nauseous but certain smells, like coffee, or trying to eat meat makes me gag. I also can't eat much or that will make me bring it all up. I do get hungry but never know what to eat. It's been a toos of the dice on trying foods and seeing which will stay down and has been since week 6.

To me it has been a huge worry about whether I'm getting the right nutrients or not but my midwife isn't worried about it yet.

I'm the same and have been since 5 weeks, now 19 weeks. I make myself eat because I know baby needs nutrients but honestly I think I've enjoyed one meal this pregnancy and thats it 😅

I had a big appetite in the first trimester but lost it entirely now i’m in my 2nd!

Food as a concept is just not it at the minute, and my cravings are like one off things like omg I’d kill for a burrito rn but if it’s not within the next 2 minutes it’s gone. Just nothing I’m hungry for

I’m 18 weeks and no cravings here! Just aversions!!!

I struggled to eat in 1st T but I can eat now but wouldn’t say I am big on eating now or craving anything so you’re not alone!

Omg same!! I’m 19 weeks and my appetite has gone right down despite me starting to exercise again. I haven’t eaten any dinner because I’m still full from my half eaten lunch? What is that all about?? But first trimester I was eating all day everyday.

38 weeks practice labour

Hey loves, I feel like I am stopping and starting labour all the time haha. I wanted spontaneous labour but this has been going on for the last week. Although the last few days things feel like they ramping up. I went into docs for reduced movements last week and they told me that there was loads of tightenings so could be braxton hicks or labour. Last night I was having tightenings which I could feel coming and would end quite low down. No constancy though. Feeling so much pain down there and it's super heavy. Lightening croch is also a different level of pain. I'm so excited for baby. Anything else got the same thing going on? How are you all feeling?
