I had this in the first trimester and there are some meals (like lamb chops!) that I still can't eat much of. For me it was mostly in the evenings, mind you I never tried to eat a big meal at lunch. All I can suggest really is to give yourself smaller portions, so that you can eat and not feel so bad about leaving loads on the plate. And snack lots, but buy in healthy things to snack on, like fruit and nuts or cans of soup... that way you can eat small amounts when you are feeling up to it but still getting all the nutrition that you need.

Good luck hun!

I'm struggling to eat large meals to be honest hun. I'm eating smaller amounts now as think the bubs are squashing my tummy!! I still love my crisps and VINEGAR though!! hehe

Dont worry, I havent been able to eat much with either of my pregnancies. until about 22wks, as long as you are getting something in, just try and eat little and often of what you fancy.

i'm 28 weeks now and still havent got a proper appitie, all i'm eating is shite. i've was seen by a dietiion and it was decided that aslong as i keep taking supplements then its better i eat crap than to force 'healthy' food down my throat only to bring it back up again.

baby is doing fine so i'm not worried and neither is the mw's so try not to worry.

i ate like a pig during the first trimester but at 18wks same as u i could hardly stomache anything. sometimes i thought i wanted something but then when it was in front of me i couldnt eat it. that lasted for a few weeks and then my appetite returned to normal pre-pregnancy. now that im in third trimester im constantly hungry again! dont know if that helps at all. xx

I had times like this especially the first trimester (i think i lived on salt & vinegar crisps & lemonade) I would just aim to eat what you can/fancy and maybe supplement with a good multivitamin tablet?

Im not eating much, only sometimes have the odd hungry day. Gone off most foods, still have sickness (30 weeks) and now have horrid heart burn which puts me off eating as well.
I like roast dinners though but then cant eat again as belly squashed. Like to eat cereals and rusks.
My friends preg and eats all day every day.
