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

It’s normal! I have very poor appetite throughout my whole pregnancy journey and been losing weight. Managed to gain 1kg a few weeks before delivering. Baby is healthy upon delivery 😁 Make sure you eat nutritious food (vegetables, fruit, protein) even if it’s a small meal and take your supplements (multi vitamins, fish oil, calcium) daily. It will be enough for baby. Also, as long as gynae says baby is growing well and on the right track according to your week, you don’t have to worry at all! Gynae will flag out if there is any problem.
