No Appetite

[Sonnet]

I'm about 4wks4d, and I can barely eat anything. I can tell that I'm hungry and my blood sugar is low, but I can't bring myself to correlate that with food going into my mouth. Anyone else having that?

Yes. I'm losing weight because of it as well. (This happens every pg for me) It is slightly irritating. I want to eat, because I know I should, but I don't *WANT* to eat, if you know what I mean. :/

When I do eat, I make it small meals/snacks and stuff filled with protein usually.

How much weight do you lose?

[UberMama]

It'll obviously vary woman to woman. But with my twins, my morning sickness factored into it quite a bit - I was down 18-20ish lbs by 12 weeks.

With my singletons though, I lose around 5-10 lbs during first tri and then pack it back on and then some later on, lol.

Ack! Is that safe?

[UberMama]

It's quite normal for some women. There's really nothing you can do. Obviously, you shouldn't diet, just eat healthy (if you can, as having morning sickness makes that difficult at times).

Baby will take what he/she needs. Basically, baby is now number one in your body and you are on the backburner. They get what they need, leaving you lacking (be that in protein or whatever else).

I appreciate it. I've had a loss, but no experience with pregnancy, really, past the first few weeks. Right now I've lost a couple of pounds in the week since I tested +.

I'm feeling fine right now, but with my first pregnancy I couldn't stand to eat any meat so I ate LOTS of pasta! Crackers and cheese, peanuts, dry cereal, grapes....they all made great snacks and helped with my nausea. Just try different things
