Anyone else having trouble eating in early pregnancy?

Question

pregnancy?" /> 
This is my first pregnancy and I'm at 5 weeks. I noticed I am experiencing signs of prenatal anorexia. I have no appetite at all. 50% of the time I'm nauseous anyway, but the other half of the time I'm not even hungry. I'm vegan so it even more important that I don't skip a meal but I can't get myself to want to eat. I force myself to eat anyway, but it's more a chore than anything else.

Answer

It’s pretty common, I’m 22 weeks now and from week 7-week 14 or so I had nausea almost every day. Luckily i never got sick! The thing that really helps is to throw out what ever “healthy pregnancy” food regiment your on and eat what ever sounds appetizing. Your better off eating something that sounds good, but isn’t healthy vs starving cause nothing healthy sounds good. If all that sounds good to you is cookies and fried onion rings then EAT IT. between week 7-11 I lost over 10 lbs, between week 11 and 12 I lost another 5 lbs. doctor wasn’t to worried about the weight loss because it’s normal to lose weight in the first trimester. What really helped me was coffee, banana, toast with either peanut butter or jelly and bagels. That’s about all I could stomach from week 7 to week 13. After that my appetite slowly started to come back.
