Struggling to eat

Anyone else struggling to eat during the third trimester? Not because I lost my appetite or don’t want to eat, but because the second I eat, I’m so full, between my stomach and my baby that I’m miserable for hours…. I try to do small meals during the day but dinner usually does me in at night!

Yeah same. My midwives just told me to eat more. My weight had plateaued. Im going for more filling and nutritionally dense snacks throughout the day. Also, I have the fairlife protein shakes from Costco and that’s an easy way to get more calories and protein without feeling too full. I grab one when I wake up in the morning .

Yup. I’ve barely gained weight. I don’t want to eat, I’m so bloated. This belly is really high up and I’m just so uncomfortable. I’m also constipated so that doesn’t help 🤦🏻‍♀️

i’m the opposite and need to chill with eating 😂 i gained 10 pounds in 2 weeks.

Me too 33 weeks twins haven't gained a pound bc every time I eat I throw it all up leaving me feeling emptier and miserable

I find everything I eat lately just makes me feel so sick. I’m 32 weeks today and my baby definitely takes up most of me 😂 I’m 5’ 0”.

@cynthia lawson I get it, I gained 5 pounds the last couple weeks but I genuinely don’t know how just cause I don’t feel like I’ve eaten enough to have gained that. I’m not having any swelling so I don’t think it’s fluid retention

I call the 3rd trimester the snacking stage lol meals completely disinterest me, but snacking throughout the day has helped so much. You should be having a small snack every 2ish hours

Me tooooo
