Hello! During my pregnancy I also had minimal morning sickness, and didn't vomit. I was having more difficulty with food aversion (smell of garlic, oil etc) and poor appetite too!
I actually gain 2-3kg when pregnancy started and then lost a bit of weight towards the end of my first trimester. Appetite and weight only got better when my morning sickness was completely gone as I hit second trimester! I ultimately only gained around 9-10kg in the pregnancy but gave birth to a healthy 3kg baby recently.
As long as baby is healthy and gaining weight steadily + gynae didn't flag up any issues, you're doing ok mama, it's normal and you're trying your best :^)
To cope, you might wanna take smaller and more frequent meals, go for foods that are a bitttt more enticing and appetising to you, and schedule your meals at timings where you have a bit more energy.
It's also important to observe how your body feels in relation to food! I realised although nausea made me lose my appetite, when I am hungry I also felt nauseous - so I just kept eating in small amounts throughout the day!
