The sickness will pass soon, don't worry, and before you know it you'll be eating enough for five ;-)

Don't worry about it, you eat what and when you like- you certainly won't be harming your baby- providing your not starving yourself of course.

lol its crazy isnt it, my sister didnt eat for the first 3 months, she couldnt keep anything down!! its mad have the baby still gets enough,

so me getting a pick n mix and pigging out on sweets wont do any damage??
i worry so much!!!

but i do pick at fruit, i have to buy strawaberrie and raspberries lol its costing me a fortune but im trying to put some goodness in my body!! xx

Your doing well. When I had my daughter I couldn't keep a thing down for about 6 weeks until the morning sickness wore off. Though morning sickness was false advertising. I had it all day.

Daughter is bad eater (30) and lives on sweeties & chocs.

Well stop stressing! Right this minute young lady!!

That will be more harmful to your baby and you, than any food you may (or may not!) eat.

I know exectly how you feel. Al I wanted when I was pregnant was chocolate and junk food. I tried to eat healthily but, I ate way more junk than I should have. On top of health issues I was scared I was going to give birth to a huge baby (I'm overweight as well) but, She arrived 2 weeks late weighing 7 pounds 15 and is a healthy wee baby. Take care and enjoy the next 6 months.

Hiya, I found it hard to eat entire meals in the first few months and would just graze throughout the day. I wasn't too mad keen on seets or crisps but I just could not get enough fizzy pop! I rarely drink fizzy drinks but I was drinking gallons of ice cold fanta or lilt or something. I think it might be your body craving the energy / sugars as at the same time I was totally exhausted and would sleep 12-14 hours a day!

one of best friends cannot hold any food down for more than 10 mins when shes pregnant.
In her last pregnancy she lost 10 stone and at 8 weeks has lost 2 stone already.

Her babies are happy and healthy when born, they are obviously taking all the nutrients they need from her.
