No appetite @ 5wks pregnant
Had a glass of milk + slices of wholemeal bread and 2 slices of cheese for breakfast. But no appetite all of a sudden for lunch. How do mama’s cope with lost of appetite? What do you eat?
Same! No appetite and lost 3 kg! This without vomitting. I changed to eating 5 small meals a day. Even in 2nd trimester, my appetite still small but managed to gain 1 kg back. I eat banana for breakfast and my cravings basically change every month or so. Initially I craved intensely for meat and had cold storage smoked duck, then changed to love blueberries and fruits like apple. I kept drinking orange juice etc. Now it's more of milk and snacks like cookies, energy bar etc. I still do eat homemade asian dishes and pasta. I make sure I cook the ingredients thoroughly and avoid certain types of fish and avoid most filter-type shellfish. In first trimester, sight of chicken blood makes me sick. In 2nd, I'm loving my chicken essence and chicken porridge and no feelings against chicken blood anymore. Pork dishes e.g. pork with potato slices, pork rib soup etc works well for both trimesters.
