No desire to eat

Now i know I HAVE to eat for baby but I have no desire what so ever to eat! It's been warmer here in PA the last few days - in the high 70's and the warmer it gets the less I want to eat. I also feel like this little baby has toes in my pouch. I try to eat a few bites and feel STUFFED! think new post-op feeling. I guess I am going to have to eat more "slider" and soft foods for a while. Maybe some protein shakes.

Anyone else get this feeling? I am 33 weeks and baby is growing right on track. I am striving for my 1800 calories but rarely get there, I am usually about 1500. I do get all my fluids and take my vitamins. I am up 7 pounds so far.

Thanks for listening ladies

Sad thing is I want to eat everything in sight but I am having that right after surgery thing too where I am completely full after what is a half portion of food. I was pushing myself thinking I had to for baby but getting sick right after doesn't help either so I am taking in as much as I can and doing a lot of smaller snacks (greek yogurt, peanut butter crackers, I am also trying to split my meals in half and eating some in an hour or so after the first time and that works too)

I went through spells of this as well as spells that I couldn't get enough to eat.  It varied for me.  And I hate to break it to you...the "stuffed" feeling only gets worse....I typically start to eat take a break then start again.  I know a couple spoonfuls isn't enough and given a good ten or so mins I can eat again.

Good luck...maybe you will find a craving that will get you in the mood to eat again!  Take care-Stacey

Thanks Ladies. Was able to eat a little dinner. and just had 1/2 a PB&J. I think part of it earlier was I was too hot. It was around 80 here today - warmest it's been so far. Thank God I am not due in July or August! lol

Just having one of those uncomfortable days. I barely made it through the grocery store this morning. BH contractions and just feeling yuck. I think it's time to start sending hubby.

Aaaaaah! My last month is going to be in July! I am totally terrified that I am going to be sooooo uncomfortable in the icky sticky New England summer. I am thinking of moving back to Colorado just for the last month or so

So I am way behind you and I really didn't have much of an appetite this weekend either with the warmer weather. I could have to do with the horrible constipation that makes my stomach hurt so bad too.

Dude, I love that I am pregnant, but some things about it really are not pleasant!

Yup...totally bad.  I can't even eat a 1/4 of a piece of pizza!  And Ms Bella loves LOVES pizza!  I'll make all this food because I feel super hungry...and eat like 1/4 piece of baked chix if that and a small spoonful of peas and I'm stuffed!

The nice part for me is that I am now losing weight on the scale.  Have NOT seen that this entire pregnancy!

Wish I had an answer for you, Liz!

I never lost my appetite.... in fact I was in labor and had to eat a cheese sandwich and chips before going to the hospital.  (And I packed a bag of snacks for myself - and hubby - while I was in labor!)  

One nurse said I had more food than the cafeteria! LOL.

(I was eating upwards of 5000 calories a day while pregnant -- except towards the end where it was more difficult to eat due to space.) 

Hope it gets better or you find something that will go down easily.
