Nauseous all the time but can only eat carbs

in 1st Trimester
I'm roughly 7 weeks pregnant and have been extremely nauseous when I don't eat. When I do eat the only thing that I can get down are carbs. I feel like I'm not getting what my body and baby needs but I can't seem to eat anything else. I've also been losing weight instead of gaining with all the carbs. I feel like I can't even get off the couch. My first OB isn't for 3 more weeks. Any recommendations on how to get a little relief?

    Eat the carbs. Your body does need them.

    What pp said. Sometimes the first tri is just about getting anything down. I lived on carbs and then when my nausea got better I started adding other things that I could tolerate.

    Echoing the above that first tri is about getting what you can down when you’re nauseous.  Eat all the carbs.  When you can, eat more nutritious options.

    That’s pretty normal. Just make sure you’re taking a prenatal vitamin. By not getting nutrients, you are only hurting yourself, not the baby. Your baby essential steals everything it needs from your body.
