Q: No appetite, is this normal?

Hi, I am 6 weeks and 5 days pregnant. I have absolutely no appetite and have to force myself to eat. I am not throwing up but I can't stand strong smells, also after eating my tummy feels a bit queasy. I have a strange taste in my mouth. Any suggestions on how to get through this. What do you eat/drink?

So my all day sickness got worse - I tried EVERYTHING - small meals, ginger, ginger ale, B-6, high carbs low fat, etc NOTHING worked. Finally had my first dr apmt yesterday and the Dr gave me Diclegis. Apparently its 1 of 2 meds that are 100% safe for women. Took 2 last night per the directions and this morning I have felt better then I have in WEEKS!!! I am still eating my small meals every 6 hours and watching what I eat but I can get through the day :) It does make me sleepy but its worth it!!!

Well I still feel queasy after eating, but I find that once I start eating then I am able to eat especially if it is something I usually like. I also find dried fruits, nuts, fruit and cream crackers easy to eat as snacks. My hunger has increased now that I am 11 weeks but I am only able to eat small portions due to the slowed digestion. So it does get a bit better. Hang in there! :)

I had the same thing early on. No vomiting, but nauseous and no appetite. I ate whatever I could. Usually bread and jam or some sort of Carb was the only thing i could get down. Nothing with a strong smell. I ended up loosing weight the first and second trimester, and am on track for a healthy pregnancy anyway.
