Struggling to eat enough?

Question

Is anyone else having a hard time getting enough calories in? I'm 16 weeks and know I should be getting a lot (aiming for 2200) but it's SO hard.

Answer

I'm 20+4 weeks and I quite literally hate the thought of food and I'm scared I don't eat enough:/ I get very discouraged when I have to think of a meal/snack and when I make something I'll either make it, take a few bites and throw it away or force myself to eat even though it takes me 45 minutes to eat a meal then regret it afterwards because my stomach starts cramping up to the point I have to lay down. I just hope my son is getting enough 💙

Answer

I'm there with you. I just have NO appetite most of the time. I can be hungry but literally NOTHING sounds good or sometimes I'll try to eat something & it will just taste "off". I wish I had cravings more often so that I could find something I actually WANT to eat lol

Answer

I can only eat a little at a time unless I wait to long to eat and then I can usually eat more (and definitely end up regretting it). I'm having twins so it feels like I have no room in there for food and just eat small meals every 2-3 hours.

Answer

Try Smoothies, they saved my life. I make them 2-3x a day 😊

Answer

In the beginning of my pregnancy I couldn't eat anything I was never hungry, now I'm 14 weeks and yesterday I ate half a burrito and some zucchini. I'm still full from yesterday 😂

Answer

I don't worry about calories, I just pay attention to my body and keep healthy snacks at the ready. Anytime I feel the slightest amount of possible hunger, I grab fruit or carrots with ranch, etc. This is in addition to 3 meals a day (sometimes a fourth meal if I'm up too late lol).
