hunger

Almost 7 weeks. I dont get morning sickness or nausea yet, but all day I'm not wanting to eat anything. Literally, I don't want ANYTHING. I get hungry but I don't want to eat. Why is this?

Its called food aversion. And it is a pregnancy symptom that is horrible. I have it and feel as if i am starving my child cause everything is unappealing before and after i eat i feel gross about food. My dr said to eat right away when i do get the urge to eat and not to wait. And even if im just craving chocolate cake and thats all i eat its okay. Discuss it with your dr. Mine gave me new prenatels  and nasua meds and i have been doing slightly better its hard to deal with. This is my 3rd pregnancy and i had never dealt with it before.

Changes in your hormones can cause appetite changes. I lost my appetite around 7-8 weeks and morning sickness set in quickly after. It's important to stay hydrated and try to get as much nutrition as possible. Boost nutritional shakes help.
