Appetite?

Question

Hi. I am nearly 5 weeks pregnant and have very little appetite. I can’t stomach eating much food. I’m over weight (17 and half stone) but wondered if not eating is going to be harmful to the baby?
I can afford to lose weight so not worried about me but could it harm the baby?

Answer

It will not harm the baby, baby will pull whatever they need from you. Think about it this way, homeless woman get pregnant and don’t eat all the time and babies come out at a healthy weight. I’m larger and I always lose weight through my whole pregnancy and my son was 9lb6oz and my daughter was 7lb6oz. Don’t stress.
