Paranoid About Food!

Hi, I'm only 5 weeks in but I am so paranoid about eating. I get so sick that I can't bear the thought of eating anything. Eating plain things like porridge is a mission.
I am worried that this will be bad for the baby......
Should I be worried. Not seen the midwife yet - still waiting for referral.

Hi Tinks, congratulations on your pregnancy!

Please don't worry about food intake. Your baby will take what it needs from you. Just stay well hydrated and eat anytime you feel hungry.
I have gone days without eating anything and bubs is fine :)

don't worry about lack of food due to morning sickness as long as you remain hydrated. Up until about 11 weeks i lived mainly on peanut butter sandwiches and corned beef sandwiches and I am now 23 weeks pregnant with a healthy baby.
