Food Issue!!!!! Please Help!!!

edited May 2011 in Pregnant
Hey Ladies, I am 7 weeks preggo and I cannot eat. Whenever I attempt to eat, my appetite changes. I tried crackers to help with morning sickness but I hate them. I also drink gingerale to settle my stomach. idk what to eat that will stick. Sometimes the thought of food makes me sick. Any advice? I hate this feeling cause my stomach is always growling but I cannot eat. :(

  • If u have morning sickness, leave something next to your bed for when u wake up. AND DONT GET OUT OF BED! Eat whatever u put next to ur bed before u actually get up n walk around. I liked the chewy granola bars, variety pack ;) water with lemon helps me settle my stomach too. But crackers, cereal, gummys, whatever u decide to eat try eating before u get up and when u do take it easy or youll be quesy ;)
  • I have hyperemesis gravidarium and my advice is stick it out with a smile on your face!! Nothing i would do to feel better in my 1st trimester would work. I can't remember how many times i cried myself to sleep bc i was so sick and just wanted to feed my baby. I'm almost 17 weeks now and i still throw up almost daily. Not like before though. Sometimes it will be bad. I guess my point is that if nothing works don't feel bad. Everyone is different. Oh and if you ever crave something or get really hungry don't ignore it! Eat right away.
  • @rootzmama sounds like a plan. I like the idea of lemon water too. I tend to get dehydrated at night. Maybe the gummys will help also. I'm just sick of crackers lol. Thanks a lot!!!
  • @sara102011 my problem is I do sometimes ignore the fact that i'm hungry. Only bc I know i'm not going to want to eat anyway. I will be glad when all this morning sickness is over. I feel horrible. And it happens at as any time of the day.
  • You have to try!! Many times i made my bf get me food and then i didn't want it. But when i did it was there. My morning sickness was all day long: ( if you are lucky enough to know when ir will happen try to already have food in your tummy
    If that means you gotta go through every aisle at the grocery store until you find something appealing you gotta do it. Ans trust me there will be something there you will feel like you must have
