I can't eat :(

I'm having an extremely hard time eating normal meat, chicken or pork any real food I have a hard time eating all I want is junk food.. cereal, Taco Bell, popcorn. I'm not throwing up but I am very quesy and nauseous. I have been taking my prenatal vitamins like religion I'm hoping that helps. Is anyone else having this problem. Oh and I can't up from bed all day I'm so sleepy I can sleep all day and night I'm so lazy. My first pregnancy was so different I'm freaking out.

I can't stand any kind of meat right now either. I'm 13 weeks now, my dr told me to eat lots of eggs and peanut butter

With my last pregnancy I had the same issue. I found that smoothies were ok. I'd add a serving of Greek yogurt so that I'd get some protein. And also some spinach for vitamins.

I had a serious aversion to meat early on as well. I'm 16 weeks now and I've been able to start eating it again. Obviously I'd rather have pasta, mashed potatoes, and French fries but I'm trying to stay within the recommended weight gain. I found that if I bought ground meat instead, I could mix it in with things and was able to stomach it better. Good luck!

I am using the ground meat technique too. Glad to hear that the meat aversion might wean.. I'm 10 wks and gag when I see uncooked meat.

Yes that's the same thing I was thinking at least I'm getting some food down. Thanks :)

That has happened to me with every single one of my pregnancies. Early on if all you can get down is junk it's better then nothing and just fine.
