My nausea is really bad in the mornings so sometimes i just cant eat anything for hours. Im 8 weeks. I feel guilty staying hungry, is it ok or does it affect the baby?
Long gaps without food werent good for my sugar control, it dropped too low between meals. My dietician set small frequent meals for me. So no, staying hungry long isnt ideal, keep a healthy snack close by.
Beta dont stay hungry for long, baby needs steady nourishment and so does your body. If you cant eat much at once, just nibble often. If you really cant keep anything down at all, do tell your doctor.
I get it, when nausea is bad eating feels impossible and you just stay hungry. But empty stomach made my sickness worse honestly. Tiny frequent bites, dry toast, biscuit, helped me more than forcing a full meal. Be gentle with yourself.
Try not to stay hungry for long, it makes acidity, dizziness and low energy worse. I ate small portions every 2-3 hours instead of 3 big meals. Keep nuts, fruit, a chapati roll handy so youre never empty for hours.
