im 9 weeks and honestly nothing feels like eating, everything either smells bad or makes me feel full quickly. im worried baby is not getting enough. how did u girls eat more during this phase?
Honestly I leaned into whatever sounded tasty even if odd, getting some food in beats none. Tangy things and fruit chaat woke up my appetite. Keep it fun and light, dont stress over big meals.
Beta a little ginger or some saunf before food used to wake up my appetite. Eat what feels good, even simple khichdi or fruit. If you cant eat anything for days, do mention it to your doctor.
When nausea kills your appetite, small frequent bites work better than full meals, that saved me. I'd nibble fruit, nuts, a little curd rice through the day. Once the sickness eased my hunger came back on its own.
Dont force big plates, eat small and often, and keep tasty light snacks around. A short walk before meals helped open my appetite. If you're really not eating at all though, tell your gynac so baby's nutrition is covered.
Amma made me small portions of soft, mild food often instead of heavy meals and it helped me eat better. A little buttermilk before lunch worked too. But if you really cant eat, do check with your doctor.
