loss of appetite
ugh, my appetite is at an all-time low as i head towards week 8. been having food aversions and nothing sounds good to eat- just thinking about many foods i normally love makes me gag. i am having to force myself to eat as i cannot afford to lose weight.. this bites!!!! is anyone else having this experience? what are you doing about it?
It will go by week 10-12. I am almost 11 weeks and my appetite is coming back bit by bit. I am still feeling sick but at a lesser degree than before. So make sure you force yourself to eat and hang on it will be better soon.
I know the feeling....I really hate to eat. The baby is such a picky eater. Nothing taste good to me anymore. Im 12 weeks and im always starving, i find myself just walking in the kitchen and looking in the refridgerator and just become disgusted. I dont have morning sickness anymore. I just get sick when I eat something the baby dont like. But i seem to have indegestion so freakn bad and its killing me.
Ahh I know exactly how you feel. I feel like that now and I am 11 w 4d. My nausea has also gotten worse. I absolutely hate eating because I dont even feel good after. It's ***** but I keep holding on to the fact that it should pass soon. And that I am making a beautiful baby :)
Honestly I hate eating right now but I do it because I know I have too, so my reccommendation is to eat whatever you can and eat slow and small meals. I know its painful but you have to if you can keep it down.
Are you taking anything for the morning sickness? This may help alot!

So here I am week 11 and finally starting to get hungry. The past two nights woke up starving in the mid of the night so I snaked on some fruit and went back to bed. Still not craving anything special but finally wanting to eat. Not able to eat as much in one sitting as I used to but at least it's a start. I'm so glad the sickness is going away..slowly but surly. There is hope..hang in there ladies!
well, my aversion to food has been better! im slowly getting an appetite and find my self hungry every 2 hrs :) so i snack if whatever appeals to me.. I'm still undediced on what i want to eat though. the aversion to meat is subsiding too, i can eat it, but i still can't cook it. overall im feeling better! :) YAY!!!!! i have a little more energy after work and dont feel like sleeping all the time, but i notice that if i get a little excited with my energy level, i tend to over do it a little ( not on purpose tho.. lol) and then im totally exhausted. Hubby is always pestering me about eating... lol he says- "i'm not sure i like that you snack all the time" LOL i said - WHAT DOES THAT MEAN?!?! LOL i would rather eat every 2 hrs then wait to eat a big meal.. our poor hubbies (well mine anyway) have no clue that a pregnant woman will eat what she wants when she wants lol i guess he thinks that this "eating for 2" means eating big meals all the time..
I find that i can't eat supper like i used to.. i'll have a third to half of the portions that i used to eat..
looks like all them pregnancy books were right! the sickness does get better as you approach the 2nd trimester!! Thanks heavens for that!!! :)
hope all you ladies and peanuts are doing well!!

I have been lucky and only have a few food aversions so far. Ramen noodles is on that list along with (which really sucked..lol) the meat and carrots in a roast I slow cooked all day. I could eat the potatoes and onions but started getting a little nautious on the meat and carrots ><
I found with my other pregnancies nothing helped. I forced myself to eat for the nutrients but really didnt want any thing cuz the morning sickness was so bad. After the sickness subsided in my first pregnancy I found I could and only wanted to eat fresh fruit and veggies. I couldnt even handle the smell of meat and that lasted the entire pregnancy! Btw....the whole morning sickness name shoulda been expanded. With my other pregnancies I had all day sickness. There wasnt just morning or evening...I had it off and on all day but it was always worse first thing in the morning and in the evening. The morning is cuz there is nothing in your stomach and it makes you queasy but the evening I have no clue!
I hope you ladies find something that helps!

I have been experiencing evening sickness over the last week or so.. it seems to be worse when I had a lighter dinner - appetite is improving as I near 10 weeks, but the only things that sound good lately are fruit smoothies and chicken salad,lol. My doctor had mentioned the instant breakfasts to get the calories I need, going to go buy some tomorrow! Which one tastes the best?
Well girls sad to say but I'm glad I'm not alone in this one. I am 10 weeks and have been dealing with this for about 3 weeks. Like most of you forcing my self to eat...but what? Nothing sounds good. My boy friend and I went grocery shopping just the other day and every thing I looked at didn't look good. He kept asking me do you want this? I would just give him the look. He laughed and said " Try shopping with some one that doesn't want to eat" I have found the only thing I can really eat right now is fruit and more fruit. I bought myself some ensure drinks and instant breakfast to help me get the calories I need and they seem to be helping. I haven't gained any weight but haven't lost any either. My sickness has been more or less all day sickness but last week I had mostly evening sickness, where I actually threw up. I really hope this stopes after the first trimester like everyone says!
yes!!!!! I am 8 weeks and 5 days and my appetite has been non existant.. actually that's not true, earlier on, when we first found out, i was HUNGRY all the time, but then that stopped once my nose transformed into a hound dog's.. no my appetite is gone.. and i have to force my self to eat.. nothing appeals to me anymore.. and it seems like the only way i can eat, is if i look at it first.... if i dont wanna fun to the bathroom, i can eat it.. if the smell isn't offensive - i can eat it.. but actually deciding what to eat for supper??!?? GOOD LUCK getting an answer out of me!
i also have been having evening sickness too.. so coming home from work and not wanting to do anything is hard.. especially for the hubby who is not used to having to cook every single night...
is any one else experiencing evening sickness??
