It depends on each person but generally you will feel like eating more during 2nd tri. Maybe not as soon as you hit 2nd tri but sometime during. It's also when you'll start all the cravings! Some people do get m/s up to 3rd tri and even up to the birth. I hope that's not you though!
With Chelsea i couldnt eat much other then fruit the whole pregnancy...Jasmine i got it back in tri 2...but by tri 3 i would get full really easily so appetite ran away again!
This time i had that few weeks where i didnt want to eat (and you told me i had too..LOL)...but all good again now!!
I'm just starting to get my energy and appetite back now in the last couple of days.
I'm also able to drink alot more which I was struggling with, I think that is helping me feel a bit better to.
I just started on pg vitamins as well as I was really run down with being very selective about what I eat.
I love my food but didn't feel like anything and something that I would normally would love was just, "yeah okay, looks like it will stay down so it was good"
So, Yes you should start to feel better, sounds like you are improving already with the m/s.
Sounds a lot like I was. I felt HEAPS better in the 2nd trimester, but I was too big to be able to finish a meal in the 3rd. I remember being in hopital the day after I had Caeleb and was shocked that I could finish a meal. Try vegemite on toast. I lived on it for ages while I had nausea. I think because it's salty?!?
Try to keep your tummy full always. Snack on dry crackers and sip ginger beer through-out the day. Might help to eat something before you get out of bed in the morning too.
Thanks girls for ur stories. It's nice to hear i'm not alone!
Yep i feel it's really important to keep food in our bellies when pregnant, hence i eat every 2hrs and no later than that.... if i leave it late, i start feeling really 'off' and nauseous and fatigued easily. I'd say the worst of my MS is over (YAY!) and now it's just my moods & tiredness hitting me!! LOL
Celsie, yeah i eat heaps of vegemite on turkish bread and toast lately! I just love it! Although I got really upset yesterday as i got home made myself some turkish bread toasted, spread the margarine...only to find that i'd left my vegemite at work!!! grr! I was so annoyed as that's all i wanted to eat!!! I am a bit tired of sipping ginger ale and ginger beer, it's boring now! I loved it at first and it does help....
I have a good feeling that i will have my appetite back, i just hope it's sooner rather than later.....
** When is strawberry season?!? I can't find any beautiful lush sweet strawberries anywhere!!! And i really crave them lately.....
