Force feeding myself...

[Keira]

Hi all,

I don't know why but lately i've literally had to force feed myself because i'm just not hungry, and i'm wondering if it's because my little girl is sitting on my stomach making me feel full?

And when i do eat something i usually feel nauseous afterwards, kind of like when you know you've eaten too much, even though i've only had an apple or something reasonably small...

Anyone else like this?

Thanks

Keira - I have the same problem!! I am making myself eat breakfast and dinner, but I try to snack on fruit through the day. Some days I go the whole day without eating anything in between!! I asked my Dr about it and she said it is normal as long as I keep my fluids up and keep taking my vitamins, and that I will finally become hungry.

[Keira]

Oh thanks Amelia!

Phew! It's kind of worrying isn't it! I mean we have enough to worry about already and then not feeling the need to eat! I've been drinking water and powerades for hydration but i'm totally turned off food! Because i feel full all the time!

I'm grazing all day...I'm an eating machine. I did go for a few hours the other day without even a drink and felt a bit ill...hopefully when I get a bit bigger I won't lose my appetite. I definitely try to keep my fluid intake up and I take my multivitamins and fish oil without fail every day.

Mrsr, i used to be like u... ate all day long! And then since maybe last week... bang! Don't feel like anything!! It's kind of annoying because i love my food

Keira! ohhh my!!! you've taken the words right out of my mouth!!!!

That is SOOOOO how i'm feeling now!!! Before i was eating LOTS and everything!This last week though i just feel blah all the time! Full and then i get hungry.. eat something and feel nauseous!! I'm hoping it'll fix itself soon cause i love my food too!!

[Keira]

LOL Haroula

It's frustrating isn't it!!

[Harri]

Keira - Yeah i know! LOL biscuits have been my saviour!!

Carmen - I drink heaps of milk, juice and water...so i'm ok there and i'm taking my pregie vitamins!

Hmm i am always starving! I could eat and eat and eat and this has only started in the last 3 weeks. Lucky i have only put on 2kgs so far!!! Eek i had better be careful hehe

[Keira]

hehe Nikki, i've put on 4kgs up til now and i was like you - i could eat a whole large pizza to myself and still be peckish!

I think it's just that our girl has grown so much in the past week or so that i feel full before eating! It's not fair because i loooove to graze all day too!!!

I've put on 6kgs already - 22 weeks! and still can't stop eating chocolate and cakes! Baby girl is definitely growing by the day at the minute.

[Harri]

My last appointment, a month ago i had only put on 1/2Kg... we'll see what tomorrow shows, at OB appt!?! I think i've put on maybe 3 more Kg. we'll see... cause up until last week i was enjoying the chocolates, cakes and chips too! LOL

I've already gained 10kg from the day that I found out I was pregnant. Last visit, my Ob did mentioned to me to keep an eye of what I eat. I basically eat lots of salads, fruits, low fat milk, and toasts, but still managed to gain that much weight. She asked me to go on a diet, but this seems to be impossible because when I try to minimize my amount of intake, I seem to start having low blood sugar symptoms. SIGH, I am hoping that these hungry days will go by quickly so that I don't have to eat all the time!
