im exactly the same hun! the food thing is really bothering me as i know i should be eating healthily for baby and stuff, but just don't know what to eat! this is causing me to be emotional as im tired and malnourished!! xx

 

[Ava Grace]

I just don't enjoy food anymore

I'm aware of what's causing your stress Ava, but just eat what you can manage, I lost my appetite too when I had similar problems. Your appetite will come back and you don't really need any extra calories for bubs at the moment so try not to worry. When you're emotional and crying it can also make you lose even more of your appetite.

Try to get some pregnancy vits to make up for any 'loss' of food but I'm sure your midwife is right.

Are you still drinking plenty?

Big hugs honey xxx

I lost 14lbs through morning sickness and bubs is totally fine...remember, as lovely and gorgeous as our babies are they are parasites ... they cream off the best from whatever we eat and leave us with the rest...which is why we feel like sh*t!!xxxxxxxxxxx

I was 10 pounds less on my due date then the day I got pregnant. Everything ended up A-OK!

i lost 14lbs between week 6 to week 14 because of morning sickness so it's normal and so far my princess is doing well.

but regardless you still need to try to eat, remember you have a baby to nourish and that alone should be your motivation to eat.

If you can stomach it (I love it but it's not for everyone) try a cup of hot milk with a sugar or two in it at bedtime, it'll help you to relax xxx

I wouldn't worry too much love - there are a lot of things that can affect your weight during pregnancy.

I'm a big girl and love my food but since I've been pregnant a combination of morning sickness and a much smaller appetite have meant that I have lost 2 and a half stones since getting pregnant!

My little girl looked just fine when I had my 20wk scan and my belly is growing and getting harder just as it should.

that sounds wonderful..might have to try that myself..how long do you put it in the microwave?

 

[minkymoo]

About a minute and a half then you can pretty much drink it stright away. It's better if it's half or full fat milk too!

My dog will not leave my side when I have a cup as he loves it too and always gets the last little bit! xx

 

[Ava Grace]

Thanks Hun I will definately try that x x

 

[minkymoo]

Thanks Hun I will definately try that x x

Good, you'll love it I bet.

I was also reading one of my 300 midwife leaflets last night on weight gain etc and so far as I can tell, as long as your BMI does not drop below 18 you will be absolutely fine. You still would be at 18 but they may want to monitor more often in case of a small baby (I'm guessing this really applies more to very underweight women/eating disorders etc).

HOnestly though, your appetite will come back soon and you won't be able to get enough food inside you quickly enough.

I promise xx
