pregnant ladies always say they get so hungry and are like a bottomless pit, how come I never feel like eating

Question

now I get hungry, but I really dont feel like eating at all. I know I should so I eat a bit. Plus I eat a little bit and it aboslutly stuffs me. Why is this? Did anyone else expeience this? For example, yesterday morning I ate a 6 inche quiznos sub and was STUFFED until prolly 9 pm. Im thinking of buying those drink meals just so my baby gets something when I really dont feel like eating....oh and I dont have any barfing as morning sickness, just a bit of nausia, so its not because Im getting really sick that I dont feel like eating, just because I really dont feel like it. Its also strange because Im not s a real small girl and generally like to eat, Ive just lost all apetite for now...

Answer 1

in my first trimester, i wasn't hungry at all. the further along you get, them hungrier you will get. now, I'm not really hungry all the time, but the amount that i can eat is nuts. i have to limit myself because i literally have no shut-off valve.

Answer 2

I was just like you. I didn't have much of a appetite. But after I had the Baby I was really hungry.

My doctor told me to eat smaller meals a day. If that means having 5 small meals, then do it. Try eating half of the sub next time and save the rest for later.

Please don't buy those drink it not good for you and the baby.

best of luck.

Answer 3

I would not reccomend the drink meals the baby needs better nutrition than that. The massive misconception with pregnant women is that she is "eating for two" NOT TRUE. So do not feel pressured to eat a massive amount of food if you are not hungry. Eat when you are hungry, and talk to your doctor to see if you are eating enough.

Answer 4

I was never a bottemless pit with either of my children. In fact you only need 200 more calories a day to maintain proper calories for the baby. There were days all I could do was drink other days I'd have a taco and be fine. I never could eat alot with either of them.

Answer 5

well everyone takes pregnancies different, I find that i snack all day therefore I cant eat very large meals like im used to.
You didnt say how far along you are.

But i havent heard this one yet, most women could eat a horse, i know i could! ha ha

Answer 6

Nope... the myth of "you're ingesting for 2 now" is incorrect. you will possibly desire to proceed to be ingesting with reference to the comparable amt. you have been till now the being pregnant. the toddler's progression won't replace plenty with greater nutrition - till that's an severe amt. consume healthful, and attempt to stay as energetic as you may (strolling works nicely!) For fewer stretch marks, by ways, attempt rubbing diet E lotion on your abdomen as your sking starts off to itch. The itching is the stretching of the exterior.

Answer 7

its normal ask your dokter for a vitamin on filling
