Have any of you had a day where you just aren't hungry and don't want to eat? Thats me today, all I want to do is drink but not eat. I have force fed myself to eat a small amount of soup, 3/4 grilled cheese, and a very very small slice of pizza. I am not hungry at all, and just don't know why. Anyone else felt this way before?

I was that way the day I went into labor...

I've had days like that where I wasn't hungry til about 2:30 in the afternoon. I would just drink stuff like Ovaltine or the Instant Breakfast type drinks, eat a little fruit, etc... I think it's okay to kind of go with it sometimes as long as you're getting "close" to your calories. I think it's sometimes good for the body to clean out a little bit... especially if you're constipated half the time like I am now.

I did this a lot in the first 2 trimesters, but much of it was due to my stress. I really had to watch myself to make sure I was eating enough...of course...now I have more than made up for it the last few months!!! :lol: :lol: :lol:

Don't worry too much, as long as it doesn't continue all the time. If you find yourself doing this everyday for several days, definitely check with your doc. Your baby will get what he needs from you, but you may be wearing your system down by not getting the nutrients YOU need.

Otherwise...just go with it and don't worry too much. Make sure what you do eat is nutritious and has lots of vitamins.

yesterday was just so weird but I wonder if it was because of my constipation, I has gotten really bad over the past few days. I wasn't worried about it, I just thought it was odd since I usually am hungry ALL the time. Today it looks like my appitite is back to normal.

I've had a decrease in appetite as well.

It's strange when you've gone the whole pregancy with a hearty one then notice a decrease.

back to normal? good to go=)

my appitie is low due to it being summer and all the running around I do. I don't eat nearly as much during the summer so, I've had to force myself to eat more than I normally would. It stinks almost as much as having to eat all the time. . .pregnancy just is uncomfy no matter how you slice it. Hows that for your daily rain cloud=) -ren
