Is Anyone Else Afraid to Eat?
posted 4th Feb '08
I am in wk 7 and sick as a dog! Who isn't? I get to the point in the day where I feel a little better, then I starting feeling hungry. If I eat I am treated to stomach cramps and additional nausea. Ergo, I am afraid to eat! I know that I need to be healthy for my baby, but I can hardly force food down. Anyone else in my situation?

I was like that during my first pregnancy. I ate a lot of soup because it was about the only thing I could keep down.

I couldnt eat anything but crackers, mac and cheese, and gingerale/water for my entire first trimester. It was all I could eat without feeling like I was going to die. Its finally gotten better now though. xP Its just gonna suck for a little while..

I'm afraid to eat, but only cuz I've been having a lot of problems with my gall bladdar and its so painful. I feel horrible cuz I know I need to gain weight for my baby but the doctors haven't said anything about it yet. I still weigh 5 pounds less than before I was pregnant and I'm already 6 1/2 months. Don't worry though, the nausea will pass and you'll be ready to eat everything in sight soon lol!

I hate sherbert and bannanas throughout my entire first trimester, if you're having trouble with ALL foods, can't keep anything down, or have lost more that 3 or 4 pounds I would suggest calling your doctor and asking about some anti-nausea medicine. My doctor had me start taking medicine like I would for heartburn, even though I didn't have heartburn.. but it helped with the sickness. Hope you feel better!
