Ways to keep food down?

Question

I'm a girl that likes food but ever since I got pregnant I've not really felt hungry? Like I just feel full all the time and then when I do eat I just seem to throw up... 
it's kinda worrying because I don't know if the baby is getting anything out of it. Any suggestions on what I may be able to eat? I've tried ginger and it didn't really work

Answer

Losing weight in the 1st trimester is normal. The baby will get what they need, you may just be the one a bit malnourished since it all goes to baby.  Ironically keeping something in your stomach at all times helps with the nausea and with keeping things down. Crackers and toast, cheese sticks, small pieces of fresh fruits and peanut butter are all really good for helping with the nausea. Lemon is good for helping boost your appetite and with the nausea as well if you just don't want to eat. Try some lemon water to soothe your stomach and then eat small meals more often. With my first I had to munch on something every 20min or so or the nausea would hit, so I just kept a bowl of cut fruit on hand and ate a piece every few minutes through the morning and sucked on a spoon of PB through the afternoons.

Answer

Dry plain toast or crackers are not very appetising but can be good bland food for morning sickness. Also make sure you're drinking plenty of water throughout the day but not too fast as that can also make you sick. You can also go to the doctor and ask for anti-nausea meds which I had to do because I could not keep anything down and was rapidly losing weight.

Answer

I lost 10 pounds my first trimester from acid reflux, no appetite and morning sickness. My dr said it was okay as long as I was taking my vitamins .. 
as far as keeping food down soup and oranges was just about the only thing that worked for me (any other fruit came right back up).  That along with crackers, I got tired of the saltines and tried peanut butter ones , they stayed down pretty good. Try eating lighter foods in smaller portions more often through the day. If you're concerned about weight loss Or your baby not getting enough nutrients try ensure I had the chocolate one it doesn't taste that bad.
