No appetite but hungry during pregnancy

Pregnant women will have pregnancy reactions during pregnancy. Pregnancy reactions usually occur in the early stages of pregnancy. Pregnant women with strong pregnancy reactions will have no appetite, do not want to eat, and experience nausea and vomiting. Although I am very hungry, I still have no appetite. At this time, you can cook some of your favorite foods, or some light stomach-nourishing foods, and let pregnant women eat some to supplement the nutrients needed by the baby in the body. Here we will introduce what to eat when you have no appetite but are very hungry during pregnancy.

Symptoms of anorexia may appear as early as two weeks after conception. This is because after pregnancy, the secretion of flavonoids slows down many processes in the body, including the digestive process, so it may sometimes cause indigestion. Pregnant women naturally don’t want to eat unless they are hungry.

Generally, pregnant women’s loss of appetite is related to vomiting during pregnancy, so they should eat more foods that are easy to digest and absorb, and can also reduce vomiting, such as glutinous rice, toast, and millet porridge. Dry food can relieve the symptoms of nausea and vomiting, and rice or millet porridge can replenish the water lost due to nausea and vomiting.

Food should not only be light, refreshing and nutritious, but also have good color, aroma and taste, and be able to attract people's visual senses, so as to arouse the appetite of pregnant women. In this regard, we have to spend time on cooking.

Avoid smells that can cause vomiting, such as greasy smells, cooking smells, and oil smoke smells. Eat more vegetables and fruits, which can stimulate your appetite and prevent constipation. Poor stomach and constipation can also cause poor appetite. Eat more autumn pears, citrus fruits, figs, and kiwis.

Drink some sour yogurt or lemon juice to stimulate your appetite. Ginger candy slices and hawthorn slices are also good. However, hawthorn slices should be consumed in moderation and not too much.

If you really have no appetite, remember to drink milk powder for pregnant women, which can supplement nutrition and avoid nutritional deficiencies for the fetus and pregnant women.

How to deal with it

1. Correct bad eating habits and supplement more folic acid. Digestive function is already affected after pregnancy, and bad eating habits will aggravate this condition. Therefore, pregnant women should develop good eating habits and maintain a balanced diet.

2. Keep your body and mind relaxed and in a good mood. Some pregnant women feel irritable because they don’t want to eat after becoming pregnant. In fact, there is no need to be upset. This is a normal early pregnancy reaction and will usually disappear on its own after 12 weeks of pregnancy. If pregnant women can keep a happy mood, it will be beneficial to both the mother herself and the fetus in the womb.

In addition, for women who are not confirmed to be pregnant, if they experience a similar situation some time after having sex, they may be pregnant. They should take it seriously and go to the hospital for a blood or urine test to confirm whether they are pregnant.
