What should I do if I have a poor appetite in the early stages of pregnancy?

Generally, people in the early stages of pregnancy will have symptoms of poor appetite due to pregnancy reactions. At this time, they often feel like not wanting to eat, or they want to eat but will feel nauseous when they smell something or just eat a little. However, if pregnant women often cannot eat, it will lead to malnutrition of the fetus. Therefore, when pregnant women have a poor appetite in early pregnancy, they can start from the following points:

1. Eat regularly. Many people cannot control themselves when it comes to eating. They eat a lot when they see something delicious, and skip a meal when something doesn't suit their taste. This can easily cause gastric motility disorders, which in turn causes hyperfunction of the nerve plexus in the stomach wall, promoting the secretion of gastric juice, and over time, it will cause gastritis or gastric ulcers. Therefore, you should eat at regular times and in regular amounts, and never overeat.

2. Start with your daily routine. At least three meals a day should be eaten at regular times and in regular quantities. It is best to set a schedule for yourself and then strictly adhere to it. This will also affect sleep time, because some people who go to bed late and get up late eat breakfast and lunch together. This habit must be changed. It does not mean that eating a midnight snack can make up for it, because although the human biological clock can move forward and backward, it is always within a certain range and cannot make much difference. If you don't believe it, you can look up some information about the human body's biological clock.

3. Keep a happy spirit. The health of the stomach has a lot to do with mental factors. Excessive mental stimulation, such as long-term tension, fear, sadness, depression, etc., can cause dysfunction of the cerebral cortex, promote vagus nerve dysfunction, lead to spasmodic contraction of the gastric wall blood vessels, and then induce gastritis and gastric ulcers. Therefore, you should be in a good mood, have a cheerful personality, be strong-willed, and be good at freeing yourself from difficult situations.

When you think that if you don’t eat often, it will endanger the fetus, you will slowly be able to accept some food, because maternal love is the greatest. In addition, you can use the above methods to regulate your diet, so that you can gradually improve your appetite. Persevere and you will succeed!
