intro and a ?

Hi everyone! I got my BFP a little over a week ago and believe that I am due 3/26ish. I don't have my first appointment for a few more weeks but this is my second so I am a little less concerned/anxious than I was last time. Everyone on this board seems so supportive and positive and I am glad to be joining you ladies!

My question is for people with a lot of food aversions. I have absolutely no appetite and no food seems even remotely appealing to me now. What are you guys eating? I am having trouble taking my prenatals because if I take them on an empty stomach I immediately vom but thinking of food makes me feel sick also. Any suggestions are appreciated! TIA

I had a real bad week or more of no appetite and terrible m/s. I didn't even want to think about food until I started to feel like I was starving, and even then it was hard to find something I actually wanted. I'm still nauseous most days, but it really hasn't been as bad. When it was bad I ate a bowl of Litpon Noodle Soup and some crackers. I felt like a new woman. Now I only want carbs, like pasta or potato soup (which I'm making today). I can't wait until this passes. As for prenatals, I take mine before bed after eating a few crackers.

Welcome and congrats! I feel the same way...The nasuea is just horrible... I have been eating a lot of carbs, like crackers and bread. Besides that I cant stomach anything!

I am in the same boat... trying to find something to eat has become a chore. To be honest about the only things I can eat are things that are really bland.. I have been living off of cereal and pancakes, with a popcicle here and there.

Good luck to you, if you find anything else you are able to eat please let me know!!!

I am not having too many food aversions ::knocks on wood:: so I can't help with that but welcome to the board!

You will have to stick with bland foods. I've been eating PB&J and whole wheat english muffins with butter & jelly. All I can eat without being sick.

Welcome and congrats on your pregnancy!

My body is all about food aversions right now. I am sticking to cards - bread, crackers, etc. I had Ritz crackers with PB for dinner last night and I've been eating cereal a lot with very little milk.

The things I've been able to eat are: cereal (my life saver) apples, sometimes bananas and oranges.. as far as carbs, I've been able to eat potatoes: french fries, tater tots, potato wedges. One thing that also helped me is ginger snaps. Ginger is a natural stomach settler, and you can use them instead of crackers too.
