Are you able to snack? If you don’t favor bigger meals, I would definitely snack every 2-3 hours (anything from protein bars to peanut butter crackers). I couldn’t eat on my first trimester but because of nausea 😭 I relied on snacks for the first 3 months of my pregnancy lol

I'm the same , I haven't had many symptoms except , sore boobs , bloating and tiredness, luckily no nausea yet either , but I worry each week 😭 , hoping all is okay , as advise above I would try and eat little and often , or try smoothies at least youll still be getting all the nutrients you and your baby needs 😌 x

I’m 4+4 and I don’t have many symptoms, I wouldn’t worry too much. I would also try eating random things… I have cravings already. For gherkins and pickled onions I don’t want anything else and when I do eat I feel unsatisfied xx

I am the same - barely any appetite or cravings. I too feel so unsatisfied with anything I do eat.

Thankyou everyone, I am trying to snack regularly, had a smoothie today and trying to eat fruit. This heat doesn't help either! I usually love my food so its a very surreal feeling 🤣 xx

I am also worrying, this is my first pregnancy and so far I dont feel pregnant if that makes sense! Waiting til 12 weeks seems so far away doesn't it x

oh I feel you lovely I really do , my first also, but we got to try and enjoy the process as much as we can , easier said than done though hey , we have booked a private scan as you say 12 weeks seems is so far away , have you thought about a private one ? x

I’m 6 weeks and had IVF, so I take cyclogest (prescribed by fertility). I’m constantly eating 😅 but other symptoms are spots and bloating, sore breasts.. but I’m not sure what’s from pregnancy and what’s from medication symptom wise 😅
Congratulations! 🥰 x

My appetite comes and goes, I’ve been making sure I eat 3 meals a day even if I’m not hungry, as baby needs the nutrients 😊

I've had cramping the past few days but seems to have settled now I've read its very normal to have cramping but its definitely a worry! How exciting you have your scan in 2 weeks 🥰 x

Avatar

yes im doing the same or just trying to eat something every couple of hours even if its small, just wish I fancied something to eat haha would make it easier, constantly looking in the cupboards and fridge hoping something will jump put at me 🤣

Avatar

from what I've read all your symptoms are very normal but I understand it does make me anxious, what the female body does to accommodate a baby is pretty crazy, ive been reading up alot on it and watching tiktoks, so much information out there xx

Avatar

Oh and I also just wanted to say congratulations to you all ❤
