What to do if you don't want to eat during early pregnancy

There are many things that women need to pay attention to in the early stages of pregnancy. The fetus is not very stable at this time, so women's emotions, diet, work and rest, and exercise must be arranged reasonably, otherwise it will easily affect the development of the fetus. Women should also pay attention to this. What should I do if I don’t want to eat in the early stages of pregnancy? There are some good ways to improve this situation. The following is a detailed introduction.

What to do if you don’t want to eat during early pregnancy:

Generally, pregnant women will begin to have reactions two months into the pregnancy. The most common symptoms are nausea, dry heaving, loss of appetite, and seeing greasy food. Some people will feel nauseous when they see vegetables. Experts at Tangshan US-China Obstetrics and Gynecology Hospital say that this is normal and the symptoms will usually disappear after 4 or 5 months, so there is no need to worry too much.

But when pregnant women's nausea affects their eating, they need to pay attention to the following points:

1. Snacks

After eating, rest in bed for 20 to 30 minutes. If you feel nauseous, eat a few cookies and the nausea will feel better.

2. Diet adjustment

Pay attention to adjusting your diet, do not eat foods that are difficult to digest, and eat more starchy foods such as bread, biscuits, potatoes, rice, etc. In addition, sour foods such as lemon juice, hawthorn juice, potatoes, biscuits and other foods can improve morning sickness.

3. Zinc supplement

When the human body is deficient in zinc, it will experience loss of appetite, slow growth and development, malnutrition, and pica. Pregnant women especially need zinc supplementation. It is recommended to eat more whole flour, tofu and other soy products, fish, lean meat, peanuts, sesame seeds, dairy products and other foods to provide enough heart for the baby in the fetus.

4. Vitamin B6

The situation of pregnant women not liking to eat may also be caused by gastrointestinal diseases, zinc deficiency and other diseases. Zinc deficiency in pregnant women seriously affects the development of the baby in the mother's body and may even lead to stillbirth. In addition, this situation may also occur due to bad mood, seasonal changes, etc.

Therefore, it is recommended to go to the gastroenterology department of the hospital to check trace elements and see if there are any abnormal diseases. Vitamin B6 can be taken for treatment. At the same time, use yeast tablets to stimulate appetite.

1. Things to note when taking vitamin B6: Many pregnant women have severe early pregnancy reactions, such as nausea and vomiting and inability to eat. Doctors often allow them to take a small amount of vitamin B6 to stop vomiting. Some pregnant women think that vitamin B6 is a vitamin needed by the human body and has no harm, so they take it in larger quantities and for longer periods of time. In fact, taking too much is harmful to the fetus. Long-term and excessive intake of vitamin B6 will cause the fetus to become dependent on it, which is medically called vitamin B6 dependence.

2. Be sure to eat enough: Many people believe that pregnant women can prevent nausea and vomiting by not eating or eating less. Some pregnant women do not want to eat for fear of vomiting. In fact, not eating not only cannot reduce vomiting, but also causes pregnant women to lack nutrition, which is not good for both mother and baby.

After understanding what to do if you don’t want to eat in the early stages of pregnancy, you can follow the above methods to improve this situation. These methods are very helpful in alleviating women’s lack of appetite. However, if a woman has severe morning sickness during pregnancy, try not to choose drug treatment, otherwise it will affect both the fetus and herself.
