I'm pregnant and in my early weeks, but I barely feel hungry these days. I'm worried if it's okay for the baby or if I should force myself to eat more.
Look, this is totally fine and happens to almost everyone in first trimester. Your appetite will automatically double by fourth month, so dont force yourself to eat huge meals right now. Just eat small portions of whatever u can digest easily.
Oh god, I used to worry so much when I couldn't eat during first few weeks, thinking baby isn't getting nutrition. But my doc said baby is very tiny and takes what they need, so pls try not to stress. Just have small sips of coconut water to stay hydrated ok?
It is super common, actually. With all the nausea and hormonal changes, your appetite can totally tank. Just focus on hydration and take your prenatal vitamins regularly, you'll be fine.
Actually yaar, I also faced this in first trimester, food dekh kar hi ulti aati thi. My MIL used to force me to eat but honestly, just listen to your body. Just chill and eat light things like khichdi or fruits when u feel like.
It's completely normal, but do make sure you don't skip your basic iron and calcium tests because of this. Hospital charges for extra infusions can really add up if u get deficient. Eat simple home-cooked food in small gaps so u don't need expensive doctor visits.
