Hi all,
I'm posting because I'm a little concerned I haven't been eating enough for my growing baby. I've always been a picky eater and one that doesn't need much to satisfy but since my 7th week of pregnancy I've pretty much gone overboard on the pickiness and barely eat anything all day. It's not even because I'm extremely nauseous or anything, I simply have no appetite. I'm so worried although I've read in the first trimester babies need very little nutritional value and the body takes care of any lacking nutrients. I'm still worried though. I feel like next week at my 12wk. scan the baby will be smaller than normal or weak because I'm not eating nearly enough daily. Any thoughts? Is my baby in danger?
