8 weeks Pregnant and CAN'T EAT!

Hi, im 8 weeks pregnant (1st child) and i can't eat! My stomache growls, i have hunger pains but i have no appetite at all (does that make sense?) I try to eat but i can't! Is this(a loss of apetite) normal?

I had it with all of my kids. I just made myself eat, even if it is a few bites. In my opinion it is normal, but if you are worried talk to your Dr.

Is it because nothing in particular sounds good? or are you sick after you eat? If you get sick after you eat, I would definitely contact your OB-GYN. If it's because nothing really sounds good, unfortunately you have to eat anyway, lol! Those hunger pains aren't just you anymore.

I guess I'm not that much of a help to you, but you gotta eat!
...maybe walk around a grocery store and see what pops out at you? or watch the food network and see if anything sparks an idea for something you want. lol.

I never had the problem of not wanting to eat when I was pregnant, lol. If you don't get sick after you eat, maybe the loss of apetite is your stomach just working on getting used to what's in there. Have you already started the morning-sickness? If so, that's probably what it is. So I would say, continue eat like normal whether you feel hungry or not and I'm sure the appetite will come back soon - and believe me, it will get stronger! lol.

I was the same way at about 7 or 8 weeks. If you are feeling sick while you eat try taking your vitamins (if you are) at night before you go to sleep that helped me a lot. If its just that nothing sounds good just eat something and if you find something that you like just eat it and don't worry if you eat too much lol sooner or later you will start craving different things

But if you are taking you prenatal in a morning try taking them before you go to sleep that should help you a lot and make you want to eat during the day. It helped me and I'm 16 weeks and my belly is BIG lol
This is my first also.

I had a loss of appetite when i frist got pregant nothing really sounded good to me. But I went to the grocery and walked around unti I found something that I wanted. Mine did nt last very long I hope you are able to eat soon. i know how frustrating it can be.

hey thanks. I'm not being picky when it comes to my food, i just can't eat. I try to eat. It's like my stomache is hungry but im not. i know it sounds strange but i don't know how else to explain it. morning sickness? only once. but i notice i get sick when i have beans. They don't seem to digest well.
I've been drinking ensure to help.

It is so normal!! I went through that too! I lost weight and then gained it!!

Take your prenatal vitamin at night before bed. I think that it helps with morning sickness.

i lost like 10 pounds in my first couple of months because of this. nothing sounded good and so i didn't really eat. i had to make myself eat like a sandwich at least. i used to go stand in front of the fridge or pantry trying to think of something that didn't sound completly gross. and the gracery store didn't help either. but don't worry, it goes away.

I am in the same boat.....I need to eat, especially in the morning before work, but just can't.... Nothing sounds good and it just makes me feel sick thinking about eating something.... I was all excited for my orange juice (it seems to help me) but NO....my husband drank the last of it last night!!!!! grrr.....lol
