no appetite for ANYTHING. normal?

edited March 2011 in Pregnant
I'm almost 6wks. An I have no appetite for any food. I haven't gotten morning sickness, I only feel nauseous and weak. I try to force myself to eat small things but after I do so, I start to feel sick to my stomach an want to Puke but nothing happens. I'm just weak. An I can go all day without eating... is this normal?

  • Thats how I felt. Luckily, at this stage baby doesnt need too much food itself. Im just now starting to lose my morning sickness @19wks, I threw everything up, even water some days. Its a blessing to get your appetite back, for sure. Just eat what you can stomach for now, be it cookies, smoothies, or whatever :) I know how hard it is to feel weak, try cold/hot foods/beverages, fruit, popsicles. I survived on fruit (not too horrible to puke up if needed) occasional BLTs, chicken broth, rice crispies and dry cherrios w lots of water. Hang in there mommy I hope you feel better soon :)
  • I'm 13 weeks and have the same problem. My only thing is i get strong cravings when i get hungry and that's the only thing i can stomach lol its weird. I hope yours goes away soon!
  • I was like that with my first preg. until I was about 12 weeks. I was never in the mood to eat. If I did eat id feel sick but I never ever threw up. :( it will pass... and then you'll be eating everything!!:)

    I'm just starting to get my appetite back and even now I think I want something and it makes me sick... I think it just gets better with time I'm 12 weeks
  • Thanks mamas! I'm starting to ease up and can eat very little, but as I've heard, it will pass. Soon ill be eating like a hippo. Yum :)
  • I'm at 21wks and stil not hungry. I mean I eat bc I know I have to but other wise I could careless about food. Nothing sounds good or tastes good either, which sucks
  • Consider calling your doc for a prescription for nausea med. I didn't throw up much, I just didn't eat much 'cause I always felt bad. Finally called my OB at 10 wks, got some Zofran & feeling better. I lost almost 6 lbs, which isn't bad, but I wasn't particularly big in the first place.
  • Dobiemama; I am the exact way!
  • Im 17wks wit my 5th and just started feeling better.everything smells bad or looks gross or just makes me sick.all my other preg I took my prenatal pill everyday this preg I can barely get it down.I can't even brush my teeth without throwing up.inwas told just to take my prenatal pill n baby would be ok.my last preg I was sick the whole 9months n only gains 20lbs and he was born 10lbs.I hope passes soon for u.just eat wht u can when u can most important stay hydrated lots of water .good luck
  • Hang in there!! I'm just now getting my appetite back at 11 weeks. Don't stress too much about food, eat whatever you can, take your prenatal vitamins, and drink water. :) If you lose weight like I did don't beat yourself up for it. You'll gain it back and get on board with healthy eating soon enough. GOOD LUCK!!!!!!
