sounds about right to me... Dr told me that the baby's nutritional needs in the first trimester are so low as long as I was eating it's all good! I actually lost 15 pounds by 13 weeks and she wasn't worried at all (of course I am not to goal and have some weight to loose)

Just eat what you can when you can and build up from there. Make sure that you are getting in your fluids and taking your vitamins too!

Hi!!!

As the lovely women as already informed you...its is totally normal. Only within the past week and a half has my appetite changed to the point that I am hungry and want food. Before that I swore I was going to be the cause of having an underweight baby because I just couldn't eat most days. I've lost a sick amount of weight for being pregnant (35lbs)...but I am a new post-op. What I did was just snack. Eat bagels, crackers and cheese, cheese sticks, tostito chips. Anything bland, dry, salty did the trick.

Good luck!

That constant thirst is a good thing. I am lucky if I end my day with 40 oz of liquid. But my OB doesn't seem worried because my urine is always clear. I guess it doesn't take much to hydrate me.
