Then i caught pregnant and i made myself so ill thorugh it i had my little girl who was healthy 6lb 5oz and i weighed in at 6st 4lb! I have ended up going on Citalopram this has helped me so much with my anxiety which is what stops me eating. I am a healthy 9st 11lb and i am working with CBT to combat my fears. If you fancy something eat it or at least try its not going to harm you despite what the anxiety is telling you.
I would eat little and often during my pregnancy, i would have a yogurt in the morning and some milk. Then mid afternoon i would force fruit down, dinner i had soup no lumps goes down better. Mid afternoon some rich tea biscuits with milk. Then for my team i would have plain smelling food like chicken breast and boiled rice wouldnt make me feel so sick.
Hope this is some help to you x
