Pregnancy Info HOME

This too shall pa__s...I have heard of women losing weight during the first trimester for the same reason, so it does happen. But you say you are eating and hopefully taking vitimans, so I don't think there is too much reason to worry. Of course mention this to your dr at your next appt. There is a post a few down from this one about a woman who is gaining too much weight. Oh well.

Hey kyes, I feel your pain, I am now 23 wks and still find nothing appealing, I am still on meds for the all day nauseausness too.. at first I used to force foods into me since I thought I should, but my doctor said to eat what goes down and to keep taking my prenatals... I love steak and I haven't been able to eat any meat or veggies since 6 wks.. chicken is only just starting to come back now. Fruit has been okay so I eat lots of that... for me carbs was what made me feel best, pasta, pizza.... all not great for the waist line but tasted best and I was at least able to get it down. My doc isn't concerned.. I know when I was really sick I used to have milkshakes, it would coat my stomach and then I would be able to get something else down.. you could try that!! Good luck and I hope it pa__ses for you as it does for most women! Kim

my nausia seems to have subsided but i still have no intrest in hot foods or anything that isnt fruit. i havent lost weight. its the weirdest feeling not careing about food. i had watermellon for tea last night. :S

i'm having the same problem with no interest in food at all! I have to force myself to eat! I'm taking my vitamins and have lost about 10lbs. in the first trimester! I've gained about 1lb in the past two weeks so I'm getting there! But the nausea is horrible! I hope I can start to eat soon! I tried milkshakes but it was too thick and made me gag! My doc isn't worried, so I'm trying not to be!

Kyes don't worry, I'm telling you, I lost 15lbs my first pregnancy...gained it back finally and then only another 10lbs. My daughter was 7lbs8oz so they take what they need. Just make sure to take your vitamins. My doctor never once mentioned that I wasn't putting on enough weight. I remember strangers scaring me though and telling me that my baby wouldn't weight enough, now I know better. I'm in the same boat this pregnancy but not as worried this time. Good luck!

Franny - this hasnt pa__sed for me, i'm 34 1/2 weeks, and nothing sounds appealing in my entire prgnancy. I think i craved more things when i wasn't pregnant. I have gained 17 lbs., but thats just recently (like the past month and a half) is this normal?? my doctor didnt say ne thing about it...

I am so glad to see this post. All of the other info that I have been reading talks about cravings or certain food aversions. I can't eat anything without forcing it down-and even then I can only do things that don't smell or taste. ex. crackers, granola bars, water, etc. I'm glad to hear there are other people out there that feel the same way.

i found that i couldnt eat anything with a smell and i mean anything i found things like soup bad to because it wasn't solid it was just slushy liquid. and everything smell because my sense of smell has esculated. im 18wks now and i have a blocked nose and that helps. but i can eat again and was able to at about 15-16weeks I just make sure that no herbs or anything get added to my food.
