I am having great difficulty ATM trying to eat anything, some foods just touch my tounge (ie meat) or i smell them and I start to gag - so I am in desperate need of foods that I can eat to get energy back AND hopefully keep down.
So far I can eat raisen toast, jatz with cream cheese, vege soup, fruit tingles, water ice blocks and that is about it. I had pasta and sauce for dinner the other night, and spent the night fighting to keep it down. I KNOW I need to eat better than this, and so far this morning I have managed to keep down my pre-natal vitamins (elevit and natures own omega oil with extra folate) but physically, i can't get food down. I can't even read the blackboards out the front of the local pub when we drive past, as reading about food makes my stomach turn.
The M/W at the hospy said drinking is one of the most important things, so I am drinking heaps of water, enough to avoid being dehydrated again, so that part is OK. But any ideas for food would be appreciated. I OD'd on apple juice, strawberry smoothies and ginger beer during other pregnancies, and they make me puke at the smell, so they are out. And meat is disgusting - same happened with DS, i became partially vegetarian, not through choice. I have cravings for sweet things, with condensed milk, which surely can't be good for me? And mum is going to make me some gingerbread men, as they were a godsend with DS, but the theme is for sweet, and not high in nutrition - ARGH!
ETA: I am about 7-9weeks pregnant, and have lost about 5kg already, so don't want to loose anymore!!
