3rd Tri Lack of Appetite

[narockshard]

Well, I'm still getting hungry, but I'm finding that almost nothing sounds good, which is really frustrating. The only things that do sound good are smoothies.

I'm still able to make myself eat, so I guess it's not really a problem for me, I just wish I had a taste for food to make it more enjoyable.

I don't have the same hunger I had in first and second trimester, but I still do have an appetite when it comes time to eat. I'm eating a lot less these days though because I don't have much room in there for him plus a full meal.

I do get hungry, but I can't fit much in there at a time. It's quite an adjustment as I've always been a big eater!

My issue is the same as RBP. I don't have much room in there to eat a full meal. It makes it hard to get all of my GD carb/fat/protein requirements each meal also.

I could, unfortunately, put a professional eater to shame...

This is kind of where I'm at. I read the op and thought "Erm, no. Am not having this problem." Lol

+1 and I never seem to get enough liquid.  I am on my third liter of water today.

I'm the same. I normally have a healthy appetite but all I want are frozen lime bars or carbs. I found myself wandering the aisles at the grocery store because I couldn't come up with any lunch ideas that sounded edible. And they didn't have any lime bars which almost sparked a one-woman riot in the frozen section.

I have been wanting lemon sorbet SO bad and our grocery store didn't have any. I almost cried.

I've been the same way. I have had a lot of aversions lately too. I've been forcing myself to eat since I have gestational diabetes.

I'm less hungry than 1&2, but I still eat plenty. My weight gain was mostly in the 1st and 2nd as well. My last 4 weekly appointments have been the same weight, so I've totally plateaued even though baby continues to grow.

Me too!! I can eat endlessly. Never get full.

Does this concern your doctor? My weight has plateaued as well in the last month. I plan to ask at my next appointment to make sure this is okay. I'm not too worried since I already gained with their suggested range, but I expected it to keep up through 3rd tri. 

No, I've gained about 38 pounds total and every week she still says my belly is measuring on track. My due date is this weekend so I assume that stopping the gain so near the end is fine and baby is getting what she needs.
