I had it hun. It sucks! Nothing sounded good to eat, and I was starving, and trying not to be at the same time. Hopefully it passes for you! Mine passed around week 9-10.

Hi, Im almost 10 weeks and my appetite still hasnt increased...its vanished somewhere else!

Its tough because you dont want anything, all I can suggest is what I am doing, and that is eating blandish food and trying to eat small amounts little and often

I wouldnt worry to much as I asked my midwife about this and its very normal, she suggested the above and to take a pregnancy vitamin. At this moment the baby takes very little from you nutrient wise so try not to worry

From what I hear, your appetite will come back with a vengance!!

if im correct in thinking your appetite has vanished due to feeling sick (like mine has lol) then my advice would be to try tip tops (ice pops, frozen ice lollies etc) i found that for about 10 minutes after eating one, i dont feel sick so i use them 10 minutes to get a sandwich or something into my stomach (i advise cold food as they have less smell so are easier to get down without turning your stomach) then as soon as the sickness starts to come back try eating something else. I usually only manage to get a small amount down but it does keep off the sickness and make it gradually easier to eat.

hope you find something that works for you

Yeah I'm starting to lose my appetite as well. Which sucks, because I live to eat lol. But at the same time if I go too long without eating something I feel sick and dizzy. I just can't win. But as long as I am not vomiting then I am happy. Hopefully it'll all go away within the next few weeks.

I had it! Yesterday was the first day I ate almost all my dinner in 6 weeks! So hopefully it's on is way out. Hang on in there, I know it's tough watching other people enjoying a nice pizza whilst youre munching a plain cracker but it will pass

If I never see another rich tea biscuit it will be too soon!

Lol munching a plain cracker. That made me giggle.
