Eva - I just began my 13th week and although I had some nausea and bloating, these are diminishing with the end of 1st trimester. Anyway, even though I'm not too bloated and infrequently nauseous these days, I'm just not hungry. I haven't lost weight, but I haven't gained any either. The post above makes sense to me though. I tend to eat if the food is prepared for me (like at a restaurant or by my husband). Also, I find chocolate ice-cream quite therapeutic . Good luck and don't worry . I have the feeling we'll regret these days when we finally pork out!!
