What should I do if I don’t want to eat during early pregnancy?

For women who have just become pregnant, there are many things that make them uncomfortable in the early stages of pregnancy. For example, a series of problems in early pregnancy, such as not wanting to eat, not being able to eat, vomiting everything eaten, etc., can make pregnant women feel very distressed. They feel uncomfortable and cannot eat, but they are very worried that the baby in their belly will not develop well. So, what should you do if you don’t want to eat in early pregnancy?

First of all, don’t put too much psychological pressure on yourself, relax, take more walks and drink some soda. Although soda is a carbonated drink with little nutritional value and no benefits to health, for women with poor appetite, the most feared thing is dehydration. So if you really can't eat anything, you must remember to replenish water. Soda can not only replenish water, but also provide some sugar nutrients to promote electrolyte balance. Of course, when drinking soda, you must take small sips and never drink too much.

Soda is not a medicine and can only temporarily stimulate appetite. However, it is not an excuse for pregnant women to keep drinking soda if they don’t want to eat. Pregnant women should still adjust their diet as soon as possible and drink warm boiled water to replenish water.

Secondly, you should eat small meals frequently and keep your diet as light as possible. In principle, pregnant women can increase nutrients appropriately according to their own taste, but they must not eat too greasy food, otherwise the gastrointestinal motility will slow down, so the digestion time will also be longer. At this time, if you eat too much greasy and meaty food, it will make the whole person feel too uncomfortable. Secondly, you should eat small meals frequently and keep your diet as light as possible.

In principle, you can choose some liquid food that is easy to absorb.

Try to avoid foods that make you feel nauseous. In the early stages of pregnancy, due to the influence of progesterone, estrogen and other factors, the taste of pregnant women may be affected. Food preferences will directly affect the appetite of pregnant women. For example, pregnant women will feel like vomiting when they smell some special foods, so try not to eat these foods. At the same time, be careful to avoid disgusting environments, such as places full of smoke, places with a strong smell of alcohol, and places with rotten and smelly smells. Here is a special reminder that if you inhale too much secondhand smoke in the early stages of pregnancy, there is a risk of causing miscarriage or even fetal malformation. Therefore, expectant mothers should not only refrain from smoking themselves, but also avoid the harm of secondhand smoke.

The above are some methods to deal with not wanting to eat in early pregnancy. Adjusting your psychology and dietary structure is the most important. In the early stages of pregnancy, pregnant mothers can eat some of their favorite foods as long as they are not too cold or too hot. If a pregnant woman still has a loss of appetite after the early stages of pregnancy, she should consider whether it is caused by gastritis or hepatitis.
