Struggling to eat well

Has anyone else struggled with eating in 1st trimester? I am 8 weeks, I usually eat very healthy and clean but since about week 7 the smell of food disgusts me particularly meat and anything seasoned. I usually love cooking and always eat lots of veg but my partner has had to do more of the cooking. If you experienced this, how long does it last 😭?

My first pregnancy I struggled to eat anything at all. The most I could keep down was the beige and brown pallet. My midwife during that pregnancy said to try drinking smoothies to get whatever I was missing in that way. It might be worth a try. This time all I want to eat is salt and juicy fruits

I think most people do. I can barely eat at this stage. It's completely ok - you'll do better in a few weeks when nausea eases. For now rely on your multivitamin if you can. The widwives weren't worried as long as I get enough water in

@Ebony smoothies sounds like a good shout, might try that!

I’m in the same boat at the moment. Possibly try call your doctors

@Jennifer do give it a try. I couldn't stomach anything that wasn't chips for most of my pregnancy with my little girl. I'm hoping this time I can eat more veg 😅

Smoothies are a great shout, I have been having a smoothie in the morning just to make sure I get my fruit in! I think I worry because I am generally a very healthy person so suddenly being unable to stomach veg makes me think I am not getting enough nutrients. I am glad to know that I am not the only one!

In my first pregnancy it lasted around 7 weeks! I ate a lot of plain pasta 😆

😭😭😭 I hope mine doesn’t last that long

Yes girl I have been struggling to eat a full meal or even anything with meat really, advise which I’ve followed today I’ve gone out and got a blender and made myself a fruit smoothie ! True be told I felt sick as a dog after drinking one but I got the nutrients inside me for baby❤️

I would say just what you can stomach because my first pregnancy u barely ate and had very bland foods for a few months. You can always take vitamins if you’re worried about baby but they’ll be fine. You are in survival mode so do what you can to survive xx
