So hard to Eat

edited April 2011 in Pregnant
In the morning, I drink and ensure because I just cannot eat anything. Not because I will vomit or get nauseous and its hard to explain but I just can't get a big breakfast and eat it simply because I am not ready to eat just yet...well my hunger is getting stronger my ensure only works for an hour and now I’m forcing my self to chew crackers. After 12 PM my appetite increases and I eat so much I am always snacking...but its just the mornings I find it so hard to eat...I’m starving but my mouth is like No! and my stomach says yes! Sounds crazy any one else have problems eating in the morning?

  • How far along are you?
  • Just 10 weeks today!
  • Lol oh ok....yah that happened to me in the beginning, but it deff goes away. All my life I avoided breakfast, now I wake up starving!

    Wait till bean gets bigger and need more.....you'll never miss breakfast again. Lol
  • I was like that only,because I was naseous...but now if I dont eat breakfast I feel naseous...bein preggo is sooo not a piece of cake lol
  • I honestly can't wait! I go to sleep every night thinking oh yeah im gonna have french toast and ham steak for breakfast and I'm super excited...but of course when I wake up im like umm no!...Thanks for the advise I can't wait to actually want breakfast!
  • Lol good luck....just do like I did. Have it for lunch. Lol
  • Im almost 12 week and I don't want to eat, its hard to explain but there's never anything I want to eat, I'm thinking baby is starting to crave something but I havnt worked out what (i know that probably makes no sence) I try and eat and I sit down for meals with my family but I get about a quarter of the way through and give in cause I just don't want it and it doesn't appeal to me at all
  • @Mums_the_Word do you not want to eat all day? I know what you mean about not knowing if you are craving. sometimes I wan't something but then when I get it I really don't want it and when I cook at night I can only eat it once because the next time I smell it, I don't want it at all!
  • Did you have a prior eating disorder thats mentally keeping you from eating in the morning? I used to not want to eat in the morning because I always feel queasy in the morning, even before getting pregnant.
  • @ Aandk1031 No not at all. I am actually a skinny glutton. I have a high metabolism to thank for me always being thin but I never really had to eat until the afternoon before I was pregnant so I assume that’s why it’s so hard for me to adjust. I am definitely not use to being hungry at 8 in the morning. The sad thing is even when I am hungry in the afternoon the stars are no longer aliened with my eating ways for some reason I cannot find the things I want to eat at the store!

    Ohhh okay, just checking! You said it was because you "weren't ready yet" to eat so I was just making sure you didn't mean because of an eating disorder. I went through a period of anorexia although i was already skinny so I just wanted to double check and offer advice if needed! :) I drink this stuff called instant breakfast and it's chocolate powder you put in milk and has 50% of all nutrients. It helps me feel full!
  • @sheila303 no I just don't want to eat all day, I do pick at things through out the day and will sit down for dinner and eat some because I know I have to but eatings becoming more of a chor rather than something I want or enjoy. It's annoying
