8 weeks and no appetite

[PurplePoppy17]

Hi, I'm 8 weeks pregnant. I have had some sickness and migraines and have now lost appetite completely. I'm struggling to eat with out nearly bringing it back up. I'm finding it hard to take my vitamins also, as soon as they hit my throat I nearly choke. I really wish I could just man up, I've spent the WHOLE day on the sofa feeling sorry for my self ????. Any advise welcome. Xx

I'm 8 weeks too and really lost my appetite about two weeks ago! The advice I got was to force yourself to eat.. even if it doesn't feel that great.

Stick to plain things like toast (or in my case, I decided to only have my all time favorite foods as an extra incentive!)... I find that once I start eating I can't stop, although most of the time the thought of food makes me cringe, all very strange!

They say it will go away, so fingers crossed!! You are not alone! XX

Thank you for your advise. I'm loving icicles and hot juice, I managed soup today too, so I'm feeling more positive for a change. I've got a scan on Friday so at least that's something to look forward to. I've gone off meat completely, which is annoying as I'm a big meat eater. Xx

I'm the opposite purple. Normally I'm practically a vegetarian. All I have wanted to eat for the past month is meatballs, burgers, lasagna and chicken. Not that I can actually eat much as I have hyperemesis and meals are out of the question.

I was like that, lost 8lbs in my first trimester. I just ate what I fancied. I'm now 21weeks, piling on the pounds and ravenous! I wouldn't worry about it to be honest. Baby is using the yolk sac until 10/12 weeks so just manage what you can.
