Force to Eat

Im 9 weeks pregnant. I have to force myself to eat. Right now Im eating mashed potatoes and don't have the stomach for it...the thought of any meat sickens me. Did you have to force yourself to eat?

Oh yes especially around that time and I also cannot stomach meat so much.don't feel alone its normal and will get better. Try crackers or cheese and crackers or even salads help. The baby needs food even though you don't want it

Try things like vinegar foods its good for your stomach. And just try to find things you can eat. Or drink protein shakes. It will pass youll get through it.

Definitely !! I have been doing it for two months now . if I'm lucky I will crave and I might can eat. But either I have to force myself or I'm scared and I just eat crackers  or something . it's crazy !!!

With my 2nd baby i was always sick. I couldn't push any food down. I drank Boost high protein and sometimes small juice pouches. Yes it's normal to force yourself to get food down especially if you're nauseous all the time. Morning sickness was freakin all day and night sickness for me. I'm pregnant with my 3rd one and no symptoms. Gotta keep hanging on till 12 to 13 weeks and it will het better. Promise! ;)
