Hello everyone 

I've not long found out I'm pregnant again! I'm 7+3 weeks and in my last pregnancy I was sick right through till due date and went off meat completely but this pregnancy it's rare I'm sick but I can't stand the thought of eating a proper meal, it's making my skin crawl!

I'm ok with snacks though. Anyone else like this? I want to try and eat healthy but I'm put off cooked food 😭

I've been like this. Only been sick once but the feeling is awful. I'm currently 10 weeks. And from about 7 to 9 weeks I felt that bad I could barley eat a thing. Lost a stone. Smells were the worst. But over the past week if been managing to eat a little more. I'm on children's portions aha. Still can't eat a lot of the things I used to love. Just the thought makes my tummy turn.

I heard it can get better tho :) fingers crossed for us

I'm 13 weeks and in the last two weeks my appetite has improved dramatically. 6-10 weeks I just didn't feel hungry and also had weird reactions to food. Something would sound yummy until it was in front of me and then I just didn't want it after a bite or two. It does get better!

I'm exactly the same as this. I am just living off of sandwiches and snacks at the moment. I can eat a ham sandwich but the thought of a piece of meat makes me feel sick.

The smell of greasy food is gross, too!

Thanks everyone, I'm glad it's not just me  I really hope it does get better soon. Otherwise I'll be living off space raiders and hula hoops until the baby is due 😂 xx

When I was pregnant with DS I don’t think I ate an entire meal the whole time I was pregnant. I was happy to have a yoghurt, biscuit or some crisps every now and then but the thought of a hot meal or a normal size portion made me feel sick. Every now and then I’d really fancy something then when I had it in front of me I just couldn’t eat it. I started off at 9 stone and was 8.12lb when I gave birth 7.5 months later!
I’m pregnant again (12w) and I’ve just eaten a new for the first time in a few weeks. Even though I think my 2 year old ate more than me!
It’s normal, don’t worry

I've been like this too. I've been making meals for my family and then living on fruit and salad the last couple of weeks. Meat and greasy food just make my stomach churn
