Anyone in week5 or 6? Loss of appetite but no morning sickness..

[Hk12]

Hi everyone, I’m currently week 5 day 6.. I was constantly hungry last week, eating lots of healthy things and this week, completely lost appetite with no food craving whatsoever...when I google, it says it’s normal to loss appetite with morning sickness but I don’t have any symptoms of morning sickness at the moment! Did anyone experience this?

I understand everyone will have different symptoms but was just curious to know how ladies in week5 and 6 (or even 7,8) are feeling, when your morning sickness kicked in and how you are coping? I’m in full time job and will have to return to the office at some point next year (currently wfh) and was wondering how ladies cope at work when they have morning sickness.

If you could share your experience, that will be much appreciated!!

Hi lovely I'm currently 12 weeks but since beginning I just haven't fancied food ..any food really . Which is awful as I LOVE food! Have no cravings etc just food is very blah to me at the moment.

I have only had a few days a week where I feel nauseous, never actually vomited.. I cope with the nausea by eating plain crackers or rice cakes. You can try travel sickness bands or I make tea with gin gins ( ginger sweets) .

Fingers crossed you are one of the lucky ones who doesn't get bad morning sickness..I think I got away pretty lightly compared to some poor women!.

Wishing you a healthy pregnancy lovely xxx

Also, congrats on your milestone! How I wish I’m 12 weeks already! Wish you a healthy and happy pregnancy xx

Thank you so much for sharing your experience! I love food too and maybe it’s because I don’t feel like eating and has that joy taken away, I’m feeling down 😭 I think I should buy some gin gins and nausea band just in case the nausea hits me one day!

Hi I’m currently 6 weeks and my appetite is less and I feel nauseous when I can smell food or see it- especially if I’m preparing it. I haven’t been sick though

[Hk12 in reply to Shazb123]

Aww hope you are able to at least eat something.. I can only imagine how difficult it will be to have an appetite when you get put off by food when preparing it! I have a feeling I will have to live on delivery food.. i don’t have nausea yet but don’t feel like looking at any food in the fridge at the moment.

So I've only had morning sickness the last 2-3 days and I'm 9 weeks pregnant. Can't even brush my teeth, toothpaste makes me gag. Only thing I want to eat is macaroni and cheese (typical-- the one thing that will definitely make me fat). Can't even eat an apple without gagging. I wouldn't wish it too soon if I were you 😂

[Hk12 in reply to Zebedee1971]

Oh no, that sounds awful! But some say such symptoms often indicate healthy pregnancy so fingers crossed for you! I’m worried because I don’t have symptoms but also worried how I will survive morning sickness if I have one! Worrying never stops! So did you have any symptoms before 9 weeks?

[Zebedee1971 in reply to Hk12]

Only real symptom was peeing - a lot. That was quite early, 5 or 6 weeks. And I'd get pully feelings in my stomach and mild period pains every couple of days or so. Again, quite early. I find those reassuring as I can feel something is going on in there. I'm on steroids so a lot of the obvious symptoms like sore boobs haven't happened for me. I did have really sore boobs in my previous pregnancies but they both ended in miscarriage. Main symptom now is just feeling nauseous and the tiredness. Haven't actually been sick though. Yet.😊

I’m peeing a lot too, waking up at 3:30am every morning 😭😭😭 never had my sleep disrupted like this before....😭😭 things women have to go through!!

Not for me I gained 10lb 😳 from 4-6w no sickness for me, only symptom I had then was sore boobs and tiredness I needed a nanna nap in the afternoon. I’m 13w+4 it’s such a relief getting past the 12w scan

[Hk12 in reply to Hidden]

Oh lucky you! I would prefer to gain weight than getting sick if i had a choice.. been not feeling too well last few days, not sure whether this is part of morning sickness! Congratulations on your milestone, must be such a relief getting past the 12w scan.. wish you a happy and health pregnancy xx

[Hidden in reply to Hk12]

Yeah been fine except yesterday I had a moment I could have puked but I don’t know if it’s a bug as my daughter has been feeling sick with a sore throat & I have a sore throat too.

[Hk12 in reply to Hidden]

Oh hope it’s nothing serious and you get better soon!! Xx

[Hidden in reply to Hk12]

Well we had a corona positive in the house 2w ago but he had no symptoms and we’ve just getting this sore throat thing but my sis had it last week too but we’re ok it just keeps coming and going.

How are you doing?

[Hk12 in reply to Hidden]

Fingers crossed it’s all fine xx I guess if symptoms just come and go but don’t deteriorate, it should be ok? I’m ok, feeling a bit rubbish, still no appetite, feel like I have flu! Wish I don’t have to work 😭

I was fine until week 8/9. The nausea grew and went through stages. Started with random nausea spurts in the day, to all day nausea, to vomming once a day/retching (peaked at 10-12weeks). My appetite went from being picky with food to not being able to stand in the kitchen!!! At its worst, I could only eat marmite toast and Cheerios. Mixed in all that, my symptoms would all suddenly disappear overnight and I would be fine for 1 to 3 days but then it would all come back!! First trimester is no fun!! I had to work from home for 4 weeks because I had to be near the toilet all the time. Definitely tricky if you have to work full time. I would not be able to do it if I had to go in! My friend had to be signed off sick for 4 weeks due to her morning sickness.

[Hk12 in reply to Mrs_MT]

Thanks for sharing your experience! I didn’t know symptoms come and go, so that’s definitely so good to know!! My work is pretty intense so I have no idea how I would do it if my morning sickness is bad 😭

hello lovely, sorry I missed your post, please try not to think about the symptoms, try to eat healthy and drink enough water. Believe me I get worried too sometimes as I don’t have any symptoms, just a bit tired and its not easy for me to fall sleep at the night... no morning sickness. look after yourself 😘😘

[Hk12 in reply to Linda84Co]

Thanks! It’s weird because one part of me is worried that I don’t have symptoms and one part of me is worried that I will get really bad morning sickness 😆 I don’t know what’s wrong with me, worrying about everything.. I have been feeling quite rubbish, feel like I have flu but no temperature. Hard to eat healthy because I just don’t want to look at any food in the fridge.. maybe this is the beginning of the symptom. How are you? xx

[Linda84Co in reply to Hk12]

Aw honey for sure change in appreciate is a sign... I’m worrying myself too much too, but then my mum is reminding me that the worrying is bad for the baby so I try to stop myself... I think most of my friends and family were not eating as healthy in the first semester lol it’s hard, we need some comfort and as wine and Coffee is off the table we need chocolate and cakes 🤪 I did another blood test and it’s HCG is 4920, so hopefully in the right direction.

Look after yourself dear 😘😘😘
