I'm almost 6 weeks and have no appetite at all. Suggestions?

I'm about six weeks (dating ultrasound tomorrow! Yay!) and I have absolutely no appetite. My fiancé is getting worried because I barely eat anything. Everything I try and eat makes me feel woozy. I'm taking vitamins so I'm getting my minimum nutrient intake but this can't be healthy. Anyone else have this problem? Any suggestions?

I was that same way for about 14 weeks crackers , slim Jim's, and even pickles is all I could eat to get some type of energy along with prenatals

Try switching your vitamins to bed time.  Make meals count when you do eat.  Eat small meals instead of 3 big meals.  But this should be fine.  You really don't need to change your eating habits but just keep it healthy and make food intake count.

Most women don't get an appetite until their second trimester. With my first pregnancy,I had absolutely no appetite throughout my entire pregnancy. If you cant keep food down, try small meals throughout the day. Even snacking. As long as you're taking your prenatals and are gaining weight, you and baby should be fine ! :) mine came out 6lbs 19in.

Just try to eat what you can, but don't worry too much. I couldn't keep anything down for the first five months of my last pregnancy. I more than made up for it in the next two trimesters

Biscuits and popsicles were a life saver until I hit 13 weeks

Thanks everyone. I went to my doctor and he gave me an anti nausea drug that's safe for me to take. With the drug on top of the six small meals a day ill eat just about anything!
