14 weeks no appetite

[gkeene11]

Hi.. I'm 14 weeks and for the past month I have had absolutely no appetite. I didn't really think about it in depth so I didn't mention it to my doctor and don't have another appointment for a month. My uterus is already measuring kind of small.. so I don't want my eating habits to affect the baby any more than it has. Is there anything I can do to increase my appetite or get more nutrients.. are protein shakes okay to drink? Like ensure or muscle milk?

Same here, not much appetite. Last checkup my baby was fine tho, bloodworks too. I am overweight tho, so i have some fat stored up for the baby, i guess. But what i do now is regulary take a light healthy snack, just something small: a few nuts, some raw veggies, salad, dried fruits, a cracker, fruit, ... Choose quality over quantity basically.

I wouldn't worry to much about it. I have absolutely no appetite and my doctor told me to try nuts. It worked for a while but my baby was small too. He told me around the 16th week mark I'm going to start eating everything so if I try shakes and just other things with alot of good stuff in it that by the time I do start eating I'll have a little extra room for weight gain without getting to big. Carrots have been working too. The thought of eating them is sickening but once I chew it's not so bad same things with beans. It'll be ok!!
