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

Women who have had pregnancy experience know that pregnancy is a difficult process. During this period, pregnant mothers must overcome many habits, including dressing style, eating habits, etc. The biggest difficulty pregnant mothers feel is probably eating habits. They can no longer eat those fragrant barbecues on weekdays, and those sour and spicy things can only be looked at but not eaten. During this period, pregnant mothers will also have obvious morning sickness and have no appetite for anything. However, for their own health and the health of the baby, pregnant mothers should not be afraid to eat because of lack of appetite. So what should you do if you don’t want to eat anything in the early stages of pregnancy?

1. Food should be light and low in oil, and avoid eating too greasy meat.

Some pregnant mothers start eating and drinking a lot on the first day they know they are pregnant. Normal people will feel nauseous if they eat too much greasy meat, let alone pregnant women who have morning sickness. In fact, at the beginning of pregnancy, the fetus in the body does not need the pregnant mother to eat a lot of meat to provide nutrition, just a normal diet is enough, so the key is that the food should be rich and varied, light and low in oil and not too greasy.

2. Eat more vegetables, drink less soup, and avoid eating snacks without nutrition.

Pregnant mothers should try to drink less soup, because the soup contains more oil, which will dilute stomach acid and cause indigestion. The nutrition is not in the soup, but in the food in the soup. In addition, do not eat some non-nutritious snacks just because you have no appetite. These snacks are generally processed products with various chemicals and pigments added. Eat less and try to eat more whole grains.

3. Don’t be afraid to eat because of morning sickness.

Pregnant mothers should remind themselves that no matter how poor their appetite is or how severe their morning sickness is, they must eat. Eating is always better than not eating. If they eat too little for a long time, it will affect the health of the fetus and themselves. You can eat small meals frequently and don’t eat too much each time, so that your stomach can digest food in time.

4. Eat more food to replenish your body when the morning sickness reaction is mild every day.

Observe when your morning sickness is most severe and eat less at this time. When your morning sickness is relatively mild or your appetite is relatively good, eat more rich foods and nutritional supplements. Many pregnant women have weaker morning sickness in the afternoon, so they can eat more nutritional supplements at this time.

5. Eat more vegetables and fruits to supplement folic acid.

Most pregnant mothers prefer vegetables and fruits because they rarely experience morning sickness after eating these foods. Pregnant mothers should indeed eat plenty of vegetables and fruits every day to supplement the various vitamins and folic acid needed by the body and to protect the fetus's nervous system. Be sure to wash the vegetables repeatedly and peel the fruits before eating to make it safer.

6. Do not treat morning sickness by eating sour foods.

Some pregnant mothers think that sour foods help digestion, and they keep eating sour foods every day, which will result in more severe morning sickness. Eating sour food on an empty stomach will stimulate the secretion of gastric acid, making the stomach more acidic. My stomach and mouth are full of acid, it's so uncomfortable. Therefore, you must eat sour foods in moderation.

7. Don’t give yourself psychological hints.

Some pregnant mothers feel that they will experience morning sickness and loss of appetite in the early stages of pregnancy, which invisibly increases their psychological burden. This will make the pregnant mother's morning sickness, which was not obvious at first, become more serious. Don’t spend all the time thinking about whether you will have morning sickness and loss of appetite. Let your lover accompany you to go out more often to see the scenery and enjoy the future of your baby. When you are in a good mood, morning sickness and loss of appetite will be alleviated a lot.
