take care xx

ive put not and should have said NOW 41 weeks 2 days lol

i went through a stage of not wanting to eat. al i could eat was Kola Kubes!!! I was told eating something was better than nothing no matter how small it is.

Hey...I've struggled with eating as well... I never suffered morning sickness so didn't have that as an excuse but I've not had an apetite until the past couple days...I've looked into it a lot because I was worried...and its not important you force yourself to eat big meals...I found it better to eat little bits often..just like fruit and yogurts and biscuits or toast...if you manage to eat something small every 2 hours you build up an apeptite. now I've got no probles putting away a few main courses (jk)

i'm 11 weeks pregnant, although i get peckish, i never fancy anything, we had pasta salad for tea last night but only had a couple of mouthfuls, couldn't eat anymore, we're off to a family bbq later today, prob won't eat nothing unless there is some fruit somewhere, just make sure you drink plenty of water , if your worried about your diet speak to your midwife or gp

im 15 weeks on saturday and hae been hungry but don't feel like eating, eerything i do eat seems to come back up the worst thing is that anything i drink seems to reappear straight away. i've been told it gets better so i've got my fingers crossed it happens soon. i know it's horrible feeling this way but good luck with your pregnancy and i hope you feel better soon. tcx

HI!! Well im overweight and when i first got pregnant i had the worst morning sickness ever!! I couldnt keep anything down!! so i went to the DR and they told me as long as i drink energy drinks like lucozade and things then there would be no harm in not eating! I also had tablets for the morning sickness which didnt touch it lol! im now 24 weeks i have lost over a stone since being pregnant! And i definately dont eat more than i did when i was not pregnant! GOOD LUCK XX

Hi, I lost my appetite before I even knew I was pregnant and ended up losing a stone in the first eight weeks. Once I found out that I was pregnant I made sure I snacked regularly on things like fruit and yoghurt and drink plenty of fluids (which is frustrating because it means more trips to the loo!) I'm 32 weeks now and still haven't got much of an appetite and really struggle to eat a proper meal. I've really suffered with sickness though (the whole way through so far) and i've found that it's worse when I haven't eaten for a while.
I think the general consensus is to try and eat little and often to keep your energy levels up. It's probably best not to worry too much as long as you're eating something...good luck x

I am the same. I'm 11 weeks pregnant and although i am starving first thing in the morning, I find that by lunchtime the thought of food makes me feel sick. I rarely fancy eating anything, apart from yesterday when I had a serious pie craving! lol. I've found once food has been put front of me and I have a little taste I actually do want to eat it.

I would agree, try eating little and often it does actually help. My appetite has become smaller than when i wasn't pregnant but somehow I still look like I'm 6 months pregnant! lol. Good Luck x
