Drop in appetite this week - anyone else?

[bluedaisy]

Just a week ago I was hungry ALL THE TIME....now this week I can't eat as much in one sitting and I have to force myself to snack in between meals because I know I need the food but I feel very bloated and full all the time.  I know sometimes as the baby grows the uterus can push into the stomach or something, but it seems a bit early for that (I'm almost 19 weeks).

Anyone else???

I haven't missed a meal this pregnancy but I know the baby is going through a growth spurt when I wake up at 4am starving! Last week and this week I haven't been waking up in the night and haven't been starving all the time but baby has been much more active. Babe either really liked or really hated the fish tacos I had for lunch. :)

I think it's normal for appetite to ebb and flow during pregnancy. Obvioulsy when baby is going through a growth spurt the body will need more and after the growth spurt everything mellow out.

This week, I COULD EAT EVERYTHING IN SIGHT! lol

I've not felt the need to eat as much as I was in the previous weeks. I'm 17 weeks, and not quite having as many cravings as before. BUT i'm still eating quite a bit!

lol...well my appetite came back today with a vengeance!!!  I just finished dinner a half hour ago and I already feel hungry again, and I've been grazing all day....maybe the baby is trying to make up for the last few days!!

Not me! I've been on the 5 surprisingly large meals a day plan since 4 weeks and I still wake up starving some nights! I'm a little scared of how big this baby is going to be although my doc said he or she (we're team green) looks normal.
