Hello Ladies... Well I'm 10 weeks Pregnant today... Went to my 1st Dr. Appt. Yesterday & i lost 3LBZ... My pre-pregnancy weight was 121 & now i'm 118. I don't eat or drink water or anything... I drink couple of sip of water & thats it. When i eat i take like 3 bites & i'm full... I haven't taking my prenatal vitamins. Which I know i should be. But is just makes me throw up. IDK what to do. I'm to the point that i'm about to give up... Any advice will be helpful thanks again.

 Eat flinstone viatamins. Or rhino gummies. As for water why not just take sips but all through the day? I no its hard someties butthink about the baby. h/s needs it. Maybe eat some fruit like oranges. eat small meals throughout the day. Dont give up you need to force yourself for the baby.

Try taking them at night before you go to bed.  I hated the first trimester I never wanted to eat cause everything just made me feel sick,  by the time I was 12 weeks I had lost a little over 10lbs. Now at 19 weeks I still have my days where I just don't want to eat I don't have that feeling that I need to eat.  I did find when my stomach felt a bit funny a little bit of pepsi helped you can get caff free.  Just a few more weeks and hopefully you'l start feeling better.

What about popsicles??? Can you eat those? And maybe ice chips for hydration?

And do the flintsones vitamins!

Don't worry about it.. I was the same way. I couldn't take my prenatals so I started taking flinstone vitamins with iron and I actually forget that sometimes. From my first appt to my second I lost 7 lbs I'm 22 wks today and I've only gained 4 back. I eat what i can when I can. I'm not sick any more but I'm just not very hungry. I can't drink water since I thew it up a few times but I do make lemonade but i make it weak that way i get the flavor but i also get alot of the water and not as much sugar. When I went to my ultrasound earlier this week my baby is growning fine and shows no signs of birth defects. My dr said not to worry about it since hes obviously getting what he needs. Biggest thing is if you're craving something ... get it. Because I wasnt hungry and couldn't keep anyting down.. I had the sudden urge for cheese fries so my wonderful hubby went get some and I kept it down finally. Good luck.. they say it gets better about 10-12 wks... however  mine didn't until about 16 wks. If  you really can't keep anyting at all down talk to your doctor to see if they can give you Zofran... it melts under your tonge and your not sick any more. It worked miricals for me but I still didn't wnat to see alot of food.

Are you not eating because you have morning sickness? I can give you some advice, but I don't fully understand what is preventing you from being able to eat. :)

omg i loveeeee flinstone vitamins. 

I have lost weight since I became pregnant too. I'm 22 weeks now and my OB is telling me to try more protein. So DH got me chocolate protein powder and i mix it with bananas and ice and milk and its yummy. 

for me, I can't have citrus fruit in the mornings it makes me sick.

I feel you though, I never feel like eating! I have to make myself, or my husband makes me. I'm sorry you're having trouble. :(

It's weird because before I was pregnant I wanted to eat all the time and now I dont. weeird.

I was like that with my second. if you ask your ob he maybe be able to prescribe zofran...it really helped me, I also bought these motion sickness bands and they really helped too. Hope you feel better soon.
