6 1/2 weeks pregnant, loss of appetite?

I'll be 7 weeks this Sunday. I'm really feeling it already but thankfully I've had no morning sickness so far. I've been feeling nauseous, but never actually gotten sick. I'm just wondering if anyone else has lost their appetite at this point? It's only been a day or two but I'm really just turned off by food right now. Thoughts?

    I honestly wish I had a loss of appetite I mean I just keep eating at 7 weeks and I eat alot and have already gained 3 punds ;( and I am already a bit overweight and don't want to gain too much this pregnancy. I gained 62 pounds with my first!

    Drink lots of fluid it is only temporary Im sure the loss of appetite, I heard it that a lot of women loose weight in the first weeks (wish that was me) but you will gain it later :)

    no worries :)

    I am 18 weeks and I still don't have much of an appetite at times, but I suggest you eat some things cause the 1st 3 months the baby really need nutrients to grow healthy! Try eating more bland foods that will also help with the nausea! Like pretzels, saltine crackers, plain noodles, cereals (dry) etc. I hope this helps!

    Congrats on ur baby!

    Girllll. I am 7 weeks tomorrow and I have NO appetite. At all. I have lost 7 pounds since week 5.

    But you gotta eat for your baby so make sure you get at least 2000 calories a day.

    It's normal and don't force yourself to eat, that makes no sense. Your baby is the size of a peanut and you will break down fat cells to feed your baby at this point. If you can drink a little fluid like gatorade for the calories and sugar this will really be all you need and eventually the food will start sounding better

    Im 13wks. I lost my appetite too in 6-7, actually I got it back at 13wk again. My doc told me yesterday that in these stages, a woman lose weight and gain later on. force the food down. eat little meals, bigger can cause nausea with vomitting. GL!

    I feel you. I had the same thing happen to me. Lots of nausea but no puking. I'm 10 weeks now and have finally gotten my appetite back. It's normal! :)

    It's normal - force it down... If anything, make sure you're drinking plenty of fluids.
