I'm 23 weeks pregnant with my first, and lately I find that I am unable to eat or drink much at all. I constantly feel like everything I eat is just going to get pushed back up. Especially when I bend over. Is the baby really big enough to be causing this yet? I assume it's just hormones, because I have had pretty bad heart burn all along.
I hear other women say they get hungier, but eating & drinking even small portions makes me sick.
Anyone else?
Every pregnancy is different. I didn't feel that way at all when I was pregnant with my daughter. I am now 21 weeks pregnant, and I feel that way. I feel like I'm starving, but when I go to eat, I take a couple bites and I'm full already. I'm having a boy, and carrying high, so I think he may be sitting on my stomach.
As far as the heartburn, I had that with my daughter, and she came out with a full head of hair. Studies show that if you have heartburn it can link to the baby having a lot of hair.
I would just eat as much as you can, and make sure you get plenty of fluids.

I just started getting really hungry in the past week or so. Up until now, I've felt so bloated that it was hard to eat more than just a little bit at a time.
Best Wishes!

I'm right there with you. I'm 24 weeks and eat half of what I used to at each meal. I'm thirsty a lot and drinking a lot of water but a lot of foods make me nauseous just thinking about them still. With my 1st, I was eating pretty normal after the 1st trimester. Good luck!

i'm only 13 weeks, but i have been having this problem. my Dr said that i should be not puking as much anymore now that i am entering the 2nd trimester, but i seem to be puking more than i ever had. sorry if tmi, but typically i sit down to eat, force a few bites, and just feel like lying down before it all comes back up. i wish i was getting hungrier too but i just dont want to eat food at all!
i dont know if it will help you, but i think i might start carrying around a small bag of cheerios just so that i have at least SOMETHING in me.
hope this helps!
