my appetite dropped a lot. Is this normal? At week 11 I had gained 2.5 pounds and I probably gained another 2.5 pounds up to now. (I don't have a scale at home so I don't know for sure) I know that weight gain is about normal from what my doctor said but now I am not eating as much. Did anyone else go through this. I don't have the typical morning sickness, it is more just utter exhaustion so I was eating normal.

I believe that you are as normal as can be, but you do need to eat ''on a regular basis'', for the sake of the baby...even if
it is in small amounts, and healthy foods...
A pregant woman usually is given some type of Prenatal Vitamins. These help keep the appetite up too. The doctor
usually gives these by Prescription too.
These Prenatal Vitamins...are sometimes covered by payment through a person's personal or state insurance
coverage.
Apple juice, orange juice, peanut butter, cheese, are some
foods which "give a boost" during pregnant, or anyother
time...These keep the ''blood sugar'' at a balance...
Some pregnant mothers do feel extra tired. you might consult with your doctor too, in case something else is
happening...
You might try some Ensure Food Supplement too, it has a
lot of vitamins and minerals and much protein in it, since you
say you are not eating very much sometimes. This is very good for energy levels, and supplies proper nutriments.

Your eating habits and weight gain are going to be based on what your body decides it wants and needs. It has nothing to do with how well your pregnancy is going, unless its an extreme case where youre shedding pounds.
Eat when you're hungry. Dont bother with the scale or tracking weight gain. Your weight gain doesnt have much to do with the growth of the baby. Your body can trade weight, losing it in your body, as the baby gains it, without causing concern.

I was absolutely starving all the time until probably around week 18, then it kind of tapered off. After that I don't think my appetite was much different than before i was pregnant. Still gained weight regardless. Now at 26 weeks I find myself hungrier again, so it kind of comes and goes.

All depends, if its the summer some people dont feel like eating because its too hot, and in the winter you eat so much so you can keep warm! And that sickness in the morning.. Have you had sex? I dont know because you could be pregnant..
