Sometimes I just lose my appetite completely, especially in the mornings. I'm worried if not eating enough will affect my baby's health or growth. Kya isse koi problem ho sakti hai?
I am in my first trimester right now and literally cannot digest anything, even water makes me pukey. Is it really bad if I skip meals sometimes? I feel so guilty thinking the baby is hungry, please tell me what u girls do.
My grandmother used to say that the baby eats what we eat, so we must never skip meals. But honestly, when I had severe nausea and couldn't eat, my gynac reassured me that the baby takes nutrition from our body reserves. Just try to have small portions of curd rice or coconut water if u can't eat heavy food.
When I was pregnant, there were days I just couldn't swallow a single bite. But I realized keeping an empty stomach actually made my acidity and nausea much worse. Try to have tiny bites of simple home food so u don't lose energy, u will need all the strength for later.
If you are unable to eat due to severe vomiting, please don't ignore it. I asked my nutritionist at Cloudnine about this and they gave me a customized easy-to-digest meal chart. Definitely call your hospital's helpline and ask your doctor if you need some safe medication for nausea.
I am planning to conceive soon and honestly this is my biggest fear because I skip breakfast so often. Does not eating regularly affect the baby's growth early on? Trying to build better eating habits before we start trying.
Yaar, keeping your stomach empty during pregnancy is a big no-no, acidity double ho jaati hai. Actually, even I used to hate eating in the morning, but I kept biscuits near my bed. Just munch on something light, don't starve yourself or baby.
Look, skipping meals occasionally won't destroy everything, but regular fasting or starvation is bad for both of u. You will feel dizzy, weak, and your BP might drop. Eat small meals every two hours, even if it's just a toast or an apple, keep your energy up.
