Just ranting - Strong Food Aversion continues at week 13

I have strong food aversion towards everything (esp meat, egg and vege) since week 6, I could only stomache some plain bread, pasta, crackers, some tofu and limited amount of fish/prawns. The sight of raw things in supermarkets drives me nauseous, dizzy and I would start dry heaving. Just scrolling at foodpanda/grab makes me gag as well. Today I brokedown before dinner because I couldn't stand not being able to eat anything anymore, its also the guilt of not being able to eat enough nutrients for baby. Forced myself to eat and vomitted them out.. Are there any mommies out there suffering the same as me? Feeling so alone in this journey :'(

you're not alone in this! I'm still hating and gagging at the thought of food too, which is a very diff me and really hardgoing day to day thing ): vomiting is still there, but less compared to week 5-6 (which i was hospitalised for hyperemesis gravidrum). Every monthly check-up, my weight is reducing. don't feel guilty, you're as important as growing baby! I was assured and comforted by a mom who had it worse than me that baby will still grow (take mommy's body nutrients), though mommy's appetite remains poor! hope this brings some assurance to you too ❤️
