what do I do?

This is my first pregnancy, I am 11 weeks pregnant. I am worried lately because I have a hard time eating throughout the day. I do try to eat a lot and as healthy as I can but I can go a long time without eating. I feel like sometimes I have to force myself to eat because I feel bad like Im starving my growing baby. How much and how often should I be eating? Some of you might think its a dumb question but its a problem right now and I dont know what to do.

I struggled to eat during my first trimester but now I'm 15 weeks all I want to eat and drink is apples and blueberry juice. I'm a ftm too, with anxiety so I know how you feel I worry about everything and anything lol x

Thank you for the reply. I think because its my first baby, that I am just always so worried about everything.

I really wouldn't worry, I know it's easier said than done. I'm 11weeks tomorrow and through most of my pregnancy I've felt exactly the same, even thinking about food made me feel sick. I've tried the no nonsense approach because I got fed up of feeling so rubbish. It's not all that important to eat a super healthy diet yet so try not to worry, eat what you can manage and when you can, speak to your doctor or midwife. Hope I've helped a bit.
