My nausea has been really bad this trimester and most days i can barely finish a proper meal. Im worried this less eating might affect the baby's growth. Did anyone go through low appetite like this, what happened?
When nausea made me eat very little i felt weak and dizzy, and my doctor said the baby needs steady nutrition. She told me to eat small frequent meals instead of big ones. If you genuinely cant eat, do tell your gynac.
My gynac explained that eating too little over time can affect your energy and the babys growth and your iron levels. She stressed small regular nutritious meals over quantity. If appetite is low, she said let her know so they can check.
I totally understand, some days the appetite just isnt there. But please nourish yourself even a little at a time, you and baby both need it. Be kind to yourself and ask your doctor if it continues.
