Are there such cases? Did you have a poor appetite throughout your pregnancy, or did it get better at some point? I'm almost 26 weeks now, and the nausea is still here, which I think is affecting my appetite. I ate normally yesterday, but today I only had breakfast at 6 PM – I forced myself to eat about three pancakes (I made them myself), and in the evening, we made shawarma, which I also barely finished, even though it wasn't huge. Before that, I only had a bun until morning, and I didn't even finish it – just three or four bites, my daughter ate the rest. During my second pregnancy, I couldn't be stopped; I gained 16 kg. Now I've only gained 5–6 kg, and my weight has been stagnant for weeks (I know it's temporary). Before giving birth, I weighed 69 kg at 168 cm tall – that's a lot for me, so a small gain is even good, because at my current 75 kg, it's really hard to exist, and walking and getting up is becoming difficult. On the plus side, there's less fat on my belly; apparently, it's due to the calories I'm not eating. But I'm worried about the baby, in case she's not getting enough. I know I'll get everything she needs, but it feels like I need to eat more than twice a day. Oh, and I'm still on Duone, which makes things a bit easier for me.
Штош, третий день на Дуонике и сегодня снова пришлось делиться завтраком с белым другом. Ничего подо…

I had a terrible time feeding my youngest, but I didn't have any morning sickness.
With my older ones, I ate everything and gained 30 lbs.
But with my youngest, I left the hospital looking just as I did before.

In my second pregnancy, I ate a full meal every two to three days, as much as possible. I don't even know how I survived until week 22!

I got pregnant weighing 44kg, with a height of 167cm. Before delivery, I was 51kg, and after leaving the maternity ward, I weighed 45kg. I wasn't eating well either, but by your stage, I was already managing breakfast, lunch, and dinner, even if it was just two spoonfuls. Cafes with tasty salads sometimes saved me too, and sometimes something Korean would make my mouth water 😁 They prescribed a diet for pregnant women, but it was pretty bland and I couldn't eat much of it either. I gave birth to a baby weighing 2950g. I don't think I could have given birth to a bigger baby anyway 😁 I barely squeezed through as it was, got stuck

Volgina Natalya Oh, such a low weight... I once weighed 49 kg after an illness, and it hurt to sit down. I got pregnant with my first child at 57 kg, morning sickness made me lose 5 kg, then I gained those 5 kg back plus another 7, and lost 10 kg during labor. He was also small, 2.900 kg, and labor was difficult. With my daughter, I didn't restrict myself at all, and she was born weighing 3.400 kg. I thought I'd lost about 10 kg again, but I only lost 4 kg. It took me a long time to lose that weight afterward))

Natasha Did you have morning sickness for a long time too?

Olchik It's amazing how differently the body reacts to pregnancy! Thanks for your answer)

If the ultrasound shows no issues, then you have enough. You really had excess weight at the beginning, your body will take from that first. In my first pregnancy, I didn't have excess weight, and I only started gaining after 25 weeks. I didn't have morning sickness, ate normally, quite a bit. I gained 9 kg. So the main weight gain is in the third trimester.

Viktoriya Yes, I also think that in the 3rd trimester, all 16 kg might come out)) There were no questions on the ultrasound, but it was almost 2 months ago, and I felt like I was eating even better then) The next one is in a month, but I'm already itching to get it done))

I'm 50/50. My starting weight was 69.2 kg, height 168 cm. My eating habits vary; for weeks, I might eat small portions a couple of times a day, nibbling on a third of a plate, and sometimes I get intense cravings, but less often. With my son, everything is great. His weight is relatively small (3392g at yesterday's ultrasound), but I don't attribute this to my appetite, as on my side of the family, my uncle was the largest at 3400g, my mom was 3200g, and I was only 2800g. For my family, this weight is actually good. I currently weigh 76.4 kg, meaning I've only gained 7.2 kg. You can see I've slimmed down a bit; the volume in my hips is gone, my cheekbones have appeared, and it's all gone to my belly mostly. But I'm not complaining; the main thing is that all the tests show the baby is doing well. By the way, I gained half of this weight after 33 weeks when I was recovering from an illness and eating a lot 😅

Yulichka Sidorik This funny face thing: it feels like my face is a wardrobe 🤣 it's SO round and that traitorous double chin 😅
But honestly, I planned to keep myself in check so I wouldn't gain too much, but I haven't really had to yet, food just doesn't seem appealing anyway)

Yulichka Sidorik I also planned to keep myself in check. I lost 5 kg a month before pregnancy and planned not to gain much more. But I got relatively lucky; I either eat and don't gain weight, or something happens (morning sickness, a toothache, heartburn, a cold, or I just lose my appetite), and I don't eat much.

I'm really surprised about my cheekbones. The last time I saw them was when I weighed less than 60 kg, and now I'm 75+ and have cheekbones, but I'm not too happy about them. I've already grown to love my chubby cheeks 😅

Natasha Yes. And the morning sickness is long-lasting, and there's no appetite.

During my second pregnancy, I was on a super strict diet. I was starving, of course, but I couldn't eat. I got pregnant at 59 kg. By your stage, I was 54 kg. I went into labor at 62-63 kg. I was slim and beautiful :) That was the only side effect. My daughter was born on time at 3350g/52cm. A normal, full-term baby.

Katya How did you manage to weigh 5kg less in your second trimester? Was it because of this diet?

Iglova Viktoriya apparently, solely the baby's weight and water)

Yulichka Sidorik I'm planning to get back in shape as soon as possible after giving birth. I didn't manage to lose weight before pregnancy (I always gain a lot during flights due to the time difference), so I flew in May, gained weight, returned in June, gained more weight, and then found out I was pregnant 10 days later)))

Natasha Did you have morning sickness throughout your entire pregnancy, or did it end before labor?

Viktoriya I had unscheduled ultrasounds every month, at least. The country's funding is just weak; in the West, ultrasounds are done at every visit.
