No Appetite

8 weeks 1 day. I have not been having morning sickness but can't eat. I'm so hungry but while I'm making dinner/lunch. The smell of the food turns me off and I can't eat. I'm worried I'm not going to get enough nutrients for the baby. Anyone else feel like this?

Re: No Appetite

  • I get really hungry and crave something so I fix it or buy it. Once I take a few bites my appetite goes away. Sometimes I don't even make it that far.

  • I have been sick all day everyday for almost three weeks. Im having a difficult time keeping down fluids and any food. I finally called my doctor today and they prescribed me phenergan. I pick it up tomorrow so I'm hoping that helps.
  • Try not to stress too much, the fetus is like a parasite, it will take what it needs. So long as you're taking your prenatal/some folic acid it's all good.
    Having said that, I lost my appetite this week (week 7) and basically force myself to eat something bland like toast or saltines just so I don't have an empty stomach and get nauseas
  • At this stage your baby really doesn't need much more than what it gets in your prenatal vitamin. So no worries. I am having the same problem. No vomiting and no real aversions or smell sensitivity, but I don't feel like eating. It should ge better in the next month. Good luck.
  • I hear ya. Just eat what you can, when you can! No guilt allowed! Just keep poppin those prenatals and stay hydrated.
