I don't eat as often as I should

Hey ladies I'm 17weeks+ and I cannot get myself to eat as I ate before pregnancy I hardly gained weight I'm guessing that's one reason lol I jus want to eat sooo bad there's days I crave foods and ill order or make portions I would eat prepregnancy and if I eat half or less then half that's a lot I dont force myself to eat all at once as long as I eat something. . . Is there any advice or something to eat differently iduno anything lol thanks I'm trying for the baby.

I was the same way! My portions were almost 1/2 of my pre pregnancy diet. I am 25 weeks now and shortly after 20 weeks i started eating like a horse! I ate everything in sight! My doc said it was just because my son was going through a growth spurt and required more food. (Enough to feed an entire army apparently) but dont worry! I ate like that for about 2 weeks and it slowed down. And i never gained a bunch of weight from it either. Totally healthy!

Try to eat every two hours or so. As long as you getting in all the vitamins and stuff it doesn't really matter the amount of food example
Bf
Yogurt + fruit
Snack
Peanut butter + creakers
Lunch
Tuna sandwiche + veggies
Snack
String cheese
Dinner
Chicken + rice + vegges
Snack
Milk or yogurt or cheese

Not too much food but has all ur vitamins !
