I think I do!
This past week, I have been starving, so I've snacked all day instead of eating all of my food at lunch time. But I'm home today, I had a decently big lunch (sandwich, chips, and a few cookies), and now I feel like I'm about to burst!
How about you?

YES. Almost immediately (like as of 5 weeks). I think I'm eating about the same amount over all, but I can only eat like half a meal at a time. I read online it has something to do with the fact that your body slows your digestion down to get all the nutrients out of your food.

Yes, when I was pregnant I definitely noticed getting full quicker....However, that did not stop me from full on stuffing my face with whatever I was craving at the moment on a daily basis!

I did not have this problem at all. I just ate and ate especially in the 2nd and third trimester

I noticed this the other day!.. I will be starving like I haven't eaten in days (even tho I had a snack an hour ago) and will take a few bites of something and be totaly full.

@CottonCandy: @Mrsbells: I feel like I ate and ate and ate all week, but I guess it wasn't very much at one time. Today, I haven't been hungry at all, so I finally make myself lunch, and BAM! Now I feel like I never want to eat again!
@Mae: it's really unfortunate, actually, especially when something FINALLY tastes good. But I can't go back for seconds without getting sick!

Oh yes. I eat a quarter of the food in a meal than I used to! But I do have to eat way more often!

I haven't really noticed this yet, at almost 27w I can still eat about the same amount I normally would. I was assuming that once the baby starts taking up all the space in there, it would be hard to eat much so I'm enjoying the relative normalcy as long as it lasts!

Yes, I eat multiple small meals and snacks throughout the day. When I go somewhere like dinner at my parents I realize that I can not eat as much at one sitting.

Yup! Especially as I got bigger. I think M was pushing on my stomach all the time.

Yes toward the end. It literally felt like there just wasn't enough room for a big meal.

I can only eat small amounts at a time. I have always preferred small meals/portions but this is a whole new level. I just ate a sandwich and feel stuffed!

Yes, I really don't have much of an appetite, and I'm only able to manage about a third of what I usually eat. I really miss food! Knowing how my last pregnancy went, where I was sick for over the first half and I lost a lot of weight, this time I ate like crazy the first 6 weeks or so until I started feeling bad. That has kept the weight loss minimal compared to last time.

Yes, absolutely. I don't have much of an appetite in general (very different from pre-pregnancy days), and when I finally tuck into something I'm in the mood for, I can only eat about a quarter of a reasonable portion until I'm absolutely stuffed. I don't think I'm eating much more frequently, either, and am definitely aware of my diminished capacity at meals-- I've gotten so uncomfortably full a couple times that now I want to err on the side of too little/just enough to satisfy me.

Yes! I was hungrier more often, but didn't always eat a ton because I felt awful afterwards.

I remember I would get full so fast especially towards the end! So I would just stick to small meals and snacks throughout the day.

ER. No. I was pretty much a bottomless pit. I think for two weeks during my third I would get filled quickly.

@LovelyPlum: it's funny you posted this because I just ate a normal (but large) dinner and I am stuffed! I reemerge this feeling and it sucks!

I'm glad this isn't just me. I was beginning to think I'm a weirdo.
@jhd: That's how I was this afternoon! A ham sandwich did me in.
@sosaysmegan: I know, I think that's the worst part. When something FINALLY sounds good, I can't go back for more 
@Bao: yes! I get so full and uncomfy, then I'm so hungry! It's super bizarre.
@Penny Lane: SUPER frustrating.

I do every time we go out I always have leftovers and when we order pizza I'm full after 1-2 slices but before pregnancy I use to eat 2-4 slices but I also get hungry like a hour later it's weird lol

Yes! Especially frustrating when I'm trying to make sure I get all the nutrients I need, but I can't stand to eat another bite.
