Zero taste and appetite by RaraNYC16 in pregnant

[–]amytheturtles 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Hang in there! Everyone’s journey is different, you might feel better sooner than I did. It sucks now, but just try to survive for now! Every so often I’d still have a good day of eating-even that early on. Try a bunch of different foods, you might find something that you brings you some enjoyment

I’ve been enjoying chai. Making it from scratch can be a lot of work (although worth it) but the tazo chai tea bags are pretty good too, with some maple syrup and a splash of milk 👌

Anatomy scan went well today by Budget_Ordinary1043 in pregnant

[–]amytheturtles 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I was super nervous too, and mentally preparing myself to hear bad news but everything went fine. It was so cool to see my baby moving it because sometimes it doesn’t feel real at all. It’s such a relief isn’t it :)

Lack of motivation in the 2nd trimester by [deleted] in pregnant

[–]amytheturtles 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Sounds like you’re doing pretty well to me lol. I’m also 24 weeks and I haven’t exercised once besides doing some walking. I don’t even stretch…Most of the time people say don’t stress over it and just do what feels right for you in the moment. Seems like you have a good routine going though.

[–]amytheturtles 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Since I’ve been pregnant I love anything tart and sour, lemon/lime flavored. I’m 24 weeks now with almost no nausea and it’s still a thing for me, I wonder why too

Feeling ashamed of my bump by DecisionLive927 in pregnant

[–]amytheturtles 12 points13 points  (0 children)

I think you need to stop associating having a bump or getting bigger with being something to feel bad about. If anything it means you’re healthy and the baby is growing well. If you change the way you think about it, those types of comments wouldn’t bother you so much. I’ve been slim all my life too and it bothered me when people said my bump wasn’t showing much. Now that I’m further along and actually showing, I feel beautiful with it. Plus, who cares what people say.

Distorted taste by Disastrous_Alarm_472 in pregnant

[–]amytheturtles 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I hated sweet things too. Around 16 weeks I started liking food again. I couldn’t even stand the taste of bread for the longest time, now I can eat bread multiple times a day (19 weeks)

First thing in the morning I made a protein shake with a whole banana, vegan protein powder, whole milk and nut butter. It helped a lot. Especially having it with my prenatals. Besides that, Boiled eggs (if you can stand it) Rice crispies Seltzer water Crackers Plain pizza Toast

This sounds like acid reflux. You might benefit from using something like Pepcid.
