I'm 16 weeks along and I still have no appetite or a need to drink anything. I do drink water all day. Alot of food out there just sounds, smells and looks gross to me. But I do eat what looks and sounds appetizing to me and am holding it all down which is a plus for the baby. I'm hoping my appetite will come back because this is so difficult to deal with. I just feel like I want to starve because nothing sounds good to me, but I eat what I can. Has anyone experienced this? Is there anything that can get my appetite back : : :

I am now about 16 weeks and my appetite has decreased a lot since the very beginning when I was ravenous and eating like a horse all the time. Could it be partly due to the expanding bundle inside me leaving less room for food? I don't feel naseous, and never had any morning sickness, but I'm just noticing a drop in my appetite and wonder if I should be worried?

: : Do you eat anything? You do have to eat something now and then, you dont ahve to fill you're face but eat a few meals here and there something light if you can't handle a big meal.

: Hey Summer, I have been eating, pretty normally, but more like my pre-pregnancy appetite. I've been trying to munch constantly, on fruits and carrots and other stuff when I want it too. But I may take the words back because over the last 2 days I've been feeling hungrier again. And my best friend who's had 3 says she got less hungry after the 1st 3 months and before the last 3.
