Why has my appetite decreased since I've became pregnant?

Question

I would have thought that I would be *more* hungry, but I am finding that I can't eat nearly what I used to. I get very nauseated if I eat a full serving size.

I am 7 1/2 weeks pregnant. Is decreased appetite normal?

Answer 1

Yes totally normal - just eat smaller meals . I'm going into 38 weeks and having a hard time eating due to acid reflux .  

Answer 2

It is part of pregnancy. Early on i had no appetite. Congrats and goodluck!!!

Answer 3

Ha! this is normal. Your'e probably just getting a taste of morning sickness. Enjoy it now, b/c later on you'll be complaining about eating too MUCH!!

Answer 4

Answer 5

at 7.5 weeks your baby is smaller than the growth tip of your fingernail.

it's not hungry b/c it gets everything it needs from the placenta.

i never ate extra whilst pregnant - i was lucky if i could keep a glass of water down.  everyone is different.

the people that eat for two are usually the people who have the hardest time loosing weight - b/c your baby is not craving an extra steak or large order of french fries - trust me.

Answer 6

your body is changing and everything is moving around. once your body become acclimated to being pregnant, you will be eating more.

Answer 7

Different weman have different appeties due to the unbalance of hormones.
