Gag reflex. can’t eat?

Question

Okay ladies. Help a girl out. When I’m pregnant, I have the WORST gag reflex ever. I’m literally borderline starving myself because I can’t get anything down. I don’t even feel nauseous, food just gags me. Smells gag me. Sights gag me. I’m supposed to be eating 2500 calories a day and I don’t even hit 500. It’s ridiculous. I’m constantly hungry but nothing ever sounds good, and if I can find something that’s somewhat appealing, I gag on it and can’t get it down my throat. HELP! what do I do 😭😭😭

Answer

Have you tried something like regular unisom before bed? It doesn’t just help nausea, it helps all aspect of morning sickness.

Answer

It’s like I wrote this. It’s so hard to eat and I’m constantly starving. The only thing I’ve found that I can eat and not gag is salad. My doctor has had me try protein shakes. It was a no go. I’m 28 weeks and haven’t gained any weight. I do make sure I take prenatals. I wish I was more help, but I do know your frustration.

Answer

I know your frustration! My whole first trimester I lived on cereal and saltines 😂 Those were the only foods that didn’t make me gag....I still get gaggy days here and there at 24 weeks! Hang in there Mama! 🥰
