Struggling to Eat

i just recently found out i am pregnant with baby #2, and i am really struggling to eat. i either don’t want to eat because of the smell of it, or i do really want to eat it but i cant keep it down. pretty much the only thing i can keep down are lays chips and bagels with cream cheese, anything else i get SO sick. i dont know what to do. i’m hungry all the time to the point where it hurts, but i cant keep anything down.. any suggestions??

You probably have Hyperemesis Gravidarum Visit the HER foundation online.. you're going to need or may need to get fluids twice a week. Only liquid I could keep down was sweet iced tea with lemonade

i had food aversion until about 13 weeks. I just ate whatever i could. Unfortunately the only thing i could keep down was mcdonald’s mcgriddle lmao. So that’s what i ate!! I ended up losing 15lbs the first few weeks but baby was healthy. stock up on what you can tolerate and keep eating it! Contact your OB to see what they recommend too.

From a mum who had HG twice, eat whatever you can get down, sometimes I ate a sacrificial meal, before my food I ate a yoghurt or a smoothie so I could throw it up and get something else down after. That worked a little bit, but try to not panic too much - I was literally living off crackers and apples and even throwing those up. As long as you're still able to pass fluids - have a wee - you should be okay at home xx
