I'm under so much stress and am so depressed I just don't feel hungry. Or sometimes, even when I am hungry, I still don't feel like eating and just ignore the feeling til it goes away. Since being pregnant I've lost 8kg. I didn't have MS, I've actually been perfectly healthy, but due to depression and anxiety and stress I just haven't eaten and have often had diarrhoea (from the anxiety). I would say that I've only had one full size dinner (size of what I ate pre pregnancy) in about a month.
To give you an idea, this is what I ate the last 3 days. I know it's not enough.
Wed- 2 slices toast, hot cross bun, sandwich. Didn't take my vitamins
Thurs- 1 slice toast, 3 biscuits. Didn't take my vitamins again
Today- sandwich, slice of zucchini and onion omelette, and I'm now eating a slice of pita bread. Had my vitamins and some fresh OJ coz I figured it'd be good for my blood sugar.
I know, that's it. at our ultrasound yesterday the baby was perfectly fine but I'm still worried. I was slightly overweight at the start of pregnancy so I guess that makes it less worrisome but it's certainly not good! I just can't bring myself to eat. I know it's psychological, but I've also gotten so used to not eating that when I do eat I can manage 2 bites and then I'm full. I forced myself to keep going with the omelette and I'm glad I did, but I've felt sick ever since coz it was just 'too much'.
I'm not sure what else I can do to eat more and get more nutrients to the baby!? I've got a headache which I can only assume is from not eating enough. I am drinking plenty of water though, I'm great at that. But I'm still finding my lips are dry so idk.
Any advice?
