Applesauce and toast with jam all the way. That got me through a solid two weeks. Your appetite will come back!!

Toast and mac and cheese. And the Unisom.

Not much. Some crackers to avoid nausea.

Sometimes cereal with cold milk. My advice is to seize on the few windows where you have a craving. I had little windows where I wanted randomly specific things. I'd eat that thing (until it got gross). It will pass. Aversions are lack of appetite are real.

I still remember gagging while hiding my pregnancy at work lunch at a steakhouse. So much bloody meat. (Which I usually love but was NASTY when pregnant.)

Same. Son only junk food. Daughter only fruit and canned tomato. And only a little. Soda and apple juice aplenty.

Just get through it OP. You should be back to eating food by 15 weeks or so.

I was queasy the entire first trimester with my 2nd baby. No real vomiting, more like feeling carsick. Everything I could think of or see to eat make me gag. Smells of most any type made dry heave. Toothpaste was too much.

I drank Dannon yogurt drinks. At the time, the size was maybe 4.5 oz. Lunch would be buttered saltines and dinner would be a plain baked potato or rice with salt and olive oil. I progressed to having a weird craving for Stovetop brand stuffing. This became my comfort food.

My trick: candy canes! Upon awakening, I’d suck on a candy cane (that helped soothe my hunger pangs that made me queasy) for a bit while I’d sit up in bed or walk around the house. The raised my blood sugar enough to quell the nausea enough to drink a yogurt drink.

I gained very little weight with my this baby initially, but he ended up being 8.4 and I gained about 35 pounds.

Hang in there, OP.

Tl; dr (and even reading made me sick first trimester):

Make smoothies! Sip and drink your calories.

Also: fresh air! Stay cool, literally. Hydrate.
Keep your blood sugar levels steady.

Been there. I had a million aversions and not a single craving. I ate a lot of bread and crackers - everything else was disgusting. Lasted until about 16 weeks. I only gained the recommended amount of weight.

I carried a bag of salted peanuts, raisins, and chocolate chips around with me. And lots of strawberry smoothies.

This happened to me too. Everything just turned rancid in my mouth even if it sounded good when I picked it out. It went away but I did lose 10 lbs in first tri.

So this is usually bad advice, but it helped me to eat while watching TV - I sort of zoned out and paid attention to the show and not what I was eating - helped me eat a bit more.

I had a similar experience. I ate a cinnamon cereal (life?). I don’t remember the brand bc at 15 weeks I couldn’t (and still can’t) stomach the taste anymore but could handle,other food.

Nothing I hate hate that first trimester so much just baguette from Panera bread and water

cheerios with banana slices and milk


the unisom and B6 worked way better than I was expecting it to work. Plus it helped me sleep.

Not much. Ginger ale, crackers, toast. Lost ten lbs in the first trimester but it came back and then some when I got my appetite back around 16 weeks. I took unisom and b6 at the suggestion of my OB. I was still sick and everything was repulsive to me, but it helped minimize vomiting.

In my first trimester and all food is so freaking disgusting to me. I’m not even nauseous, I just have zero desire to eat anything. Or something will sound DELICIOUS, I’ll eat two bites, and then it becomes instantly gross. I can really only handle liquids right now, but surviving on nothing but OJ, milk, and Coke (which I know is so bad but it tastes sooooo good right now) isn’t great for me or the baby.

What did you eat when literally nothing sounded good?
