A member asked:
Im 16 weeks pregnant and have been struggling to eat. could my appetite be gone because of the pregnancy and if so when is it likely for my appetite to come back? im really battling to eat and im worried that i m starving the baby from not eating

Loss of appetite: First of all, you don't have to worry about starving your baby. Your baby will get the nutrition it needs from you even if you are not eating much. You don't mention nausea, but that is a common reason why pregnant women can't eat. If you are nauseated you can take Vitamin B6 25mg 3x/day, ginger, and doxylamine at night. Try to eat what you can, drink protein shakes, stay hydrated.
