I'm NOT hungry!

I don't know if it's because I've had this cold/sinus crud that's been going around, but all week I have had to force myself to eat lunch every day and I don't want anything for dinner. I'm not snacking during the day or anything. I just don't want to eat. My dinner tonight is a single serve can of fruit cocktail b/c I feel like it's the only thing I can stomach. Anyone else go through this at some point in your pregnancy or should I chalk it up to the crud?

 

Yeah, I go through spurts of wanting to eat and not being hungry. I Hope you feel better soon! I've got the same sinus/cold issues it sounds like.

 

Count me in on the sinus congestion, headache, sore throat issues too. This has been a miserable week. I too go from feeling like I could eat something to feeling like I could be sick. It's been crappy. On top of that, I am battling a double eye infection. But, I did get my flu shot...lol

Hang in there, hopefully you feel better soon and can get some rest this weekend

 

I get that way from time to time in a pg...and with a cold too...sounds like you have both going on. My policy, when I'm pg, is to just eat what I'm in the mood for...so long as I'm not constantly junking out. Fruit cocktail in pear juice (not syrup) isn't a bad thing to be eating!! I wouldn't force yourself to eat if you don't want to...b/c next week you might be starving!!

 

I get the same way and Im not sick.... I just dont feel like eatting ... All day im not hungry but at 10-11pm... i could eat a whole fridge full of food go figure.

 

Unfortunately, even when I don't feel well, I am hungry. Even when I am not PG too, lol. It's probably your cold (or whatever) that you have. Try and eat a little something though, no matter what it is. I am all for, when you don't feel well, eat whatever your body is craving. Anything else, just won't do. That's my $.02 though.

 

Add me to the list of not wanting to eat much. I had a bad stomach virus over the weekend and my stomach has still not recovered. When I went to the dr. on Tuesday she was a little concerned that I'd lost 5 pounds! I've just not really gotten my appetite back yet. It's really irritating because every meal is a struggle trying to figure out what to eat.

Hope we all feel better soon!

 

I am glad I am not the only onw. i was just talking to Dh about this not wanting to eat thing. Withmy twins I was sick but not as often and as mush as I am this time around. Nothing ever sounds good, looks good and especially smells good. With my twins I had actual cravings and wanted to eat. I have to force myself to eat most days and its a struggle to find ANYTHING. I feel like I am going to hurt this baby because I dont eat enough. Yesterday was the first time in 4 days I ate 2 meals in a row, i wanted fish sandwiches from mcdonalds and since it was the only thing that was appetizing DH got me one for lunch and dinner. Its just crazy to me.
Your sinus infection probably isnt helping the fact either. Just eat what you can eat is how I feel!
