What to eat when you don't want to eat?

Question

Hi, I'm 7 weeks pregnant and experiencing bad morning (all day) sickness. I'm finding it hard to find foods I can eat because the thought, sight and smell of food makes me want to be sick except for certain fruits but I know I need to eat to nourish and feed my Bub.. Can anyone suggest food that won't make you feel sick? I'm off meat and any rich food.. 
Thanks x

Answer

When I felt like shit I had whole wheat toast (wheat has some protein). Applesauce. Yogurt. Soup. Butternut squash soup. Carrot ginger soup. Minestrone. Chicken noodle..... Mashed potatoes and gravy. Sorta healthy.

Answer

Applesauce, mashed potatoes, saltines and pedialyte. Those are the main things you might be able to keep down. Remember even if you don't have much food staying down by our baby is still getting all the nutrition it needs.

Just make sure you try keeping fluids down... Water and pedialyte. If not let your Dr know that you may need fluids. You don't want to get too dehydrated... It can cause you to go into preterm labor.

Answer

Eat what you can as long as you're taking prenatals.  No use forcing food that's not appealing and regretting it.

Answer

I ate a lot of dry cereal, applesauce, toast, saltines... Whatever would stay down!

Answer

Saltines have definitely helped me!

Answer

Citrus is a really good one. I got some ruby red grapefruit cups at costco that help a lot. I also pop a lemon drop hard candy when it gets really bad - sour/tangy is your friend right now.

Answer

I ate a lot of plain vanilla yogurt, and drank Boost throughout my first trimester. Your baby will take what he/she needs from you, so don't worry about eating enough right now. Whatever you can find that you can stomach, keep eating it. Most importantly, stay hydrated! If drinking plain water isn't working, try eating ice, or drinking smoothies.

Answer

Fruit smoothies made with Greek yogurt. Healthy, sweet and if you like fruit yummy! Lots of protein and calcium.

Answer

Progresso soup!!

Answer

Plain crackers or rice biscuit things lol have it with some peppermint tea because I know sometimes the mouth can feel really dry with sickness I also ate a lot of gingerbread
