1st Trim Weight Loss

Hi mama, I'm at my first trim now and I lose bit of weight. Is this healthy? I'm also a small eater, plus recently no appetite, wondering if my baby able to receive nutrient from me? I'm really worried and should I keep forcing myself to eat?

Its normal to lose weight but as always if you are worried, please talk to your doctor. Science has it that our baby receives nutrients from our body “reserves”, so even though I lost 7kg in my first trimester, every check up/scan showed the bbs growing well! Just eat whatever you can - may be a bite of dry cracker (e.g. Meiji plain cracker), bread, a mouthful of noodles or rice. The small meals can help. Most importantly is to keep yourself hydrated! If you can’t stomach plain water, sips of Milo, orange juice, apple juice or even ribena will help too! Hang in there, the nausea and appetite loss will be over before you know it! :)
