Is it normal for pregnant mum not to eat so much during her first trimester?

I am 10 weeks pregnant and I don’t eat so much as how other mums would, in fact my appetite lessen compared to when I am not pregnant. Is this normal? Will my appetite grew and my pregnancy develop further?

me too. was a foodie before, but since preg i ate so little like 1 or max 2 piece of bread and thats it, done for the day. i made sure i ate something small atleast (cos need to eat folic acid in morning) though by right need to always munch smth in smaller portion, but frequent but my throat cant swallow down.. 😔 now in 11th wks, still hoping for good appetite to be back. always telling baby, whatever you want to eat just give mummy idea. money no issue, buffet also buffet so long you eat and grow well. talking to baby does helps to have the energy to have the appetite. (try to stay positive yeah..😊)

I too talk to my baby and ask what he / she wants, even I couldn’t eat much as least i know what it is craving for 😅
