Poor appetite

Hello everyone, I am currently wk14 and i have poor appetite. I have minimal morning sickness hence seldom vomit. Is it still normal to have poor appetite? I am probably only eating the equivalent of 1.5meals a day…. I haven’t gain any weight since the start of pregnancy. Is this a cause for concern? I am worried that baby will not receive enough nutrients. At the same time, food really don’t appeal to me anymore, I only eat a few mouthful of food just to stave off hunger so that I don’t feel nauseous. #firsttimemom

Hello, It's completely normal to experience a poor appetite during pregnancy, especially in the first trimester. Many women go through this, and it's often due to hormonal changes and the body adapting to the pregnancy. Since you mentioned minimal morning sickness and not gaining weight, it's important to focus on nutrient-dense foods when you do eat to ensure that you and your baby are getting the necessary nutrients. To help improve your appetite, try eating small, frequent meals throughout the day rather than large meals. You can also opt for foods that are appealing to you at the moment and make sure to stay hydrated. It's also a good idea to speak with your healthcare provider about your concerns to get personalized advice. Remember, every pregnancy is different, so try not to worry too much. Just do your best to eat nutritious foods when you can and listen to your body. If you continue to have concerns about your nutrition or weight gain, consulting with your doctor is always recommended. If you feel like you need additional support with your nutrient intake, you may consider looking into supplements for pregnant women to ensure you and your baby are getting all the necessary vitamins and minerals.
