I need some advice and some help. I have really bad anxiety, have had it for a very long time pregnancy has made it worse. I also suffer from depression.
So my problem is, I have this very horrible fear that my daughter to be, is going to be malnourished and under weight and unhealthy. For the entire duration of my pregnancy I have had a hard time eating,I'm just not hungry I eat once or twice during the day. I go through times where I eat more, but also the entire pregnancy it hasn't exactly been super healthy foods it's pretty much just whatever I can keep down because I've had such bad nausea. I have also drank caffeine and soda the entire time as well stopped the caffeine a week ago. I've expressed the entire pregnancy my fear to the doc and they're not worried because I'm not exactly skinny. I'm 5'1 and I am now after 9 months of pregnancy 163, I started out at 155 dropped down to 143 then from there I've gotten to where I am. Has anyone else had something similar to this happen and have a healthy baby??
Your baby will take everything that they need from you, and as long as you take prenatals your baby will be just fine! Honestly the same thing happened to me, when I ate the only thing I would eat would be burritos or pizza or something unhealthy and I always drank coffee. My doctor told me my son would come out about 6 pounds he came out 7 pounds 8 ounces. Don't stress girl everything will be okay :)
I do take prenatals I actually take one of the highest end ones they're expensive too :/
Oh thank you girls. I have been so nervous and all The girls and other moms that are pregnant or have had babies all had a really healthy appetites and I haven't so I've been worried…
The baby is a parasite it will eat and get the nutrition out of you! Did you take your prenatal pills? I haven't ate all "heathy" either but in reality who does!? Don't over stress your self but you really need to inform your doc.. How does the baby seem in the growth scans? Have they told you something that you need to worry about? Breathe momma!
With my first I was 110lbs and only gained maybe 10-15 pounds I didn't eat like I was pregnant or eating for two I wasn't hungry or only ate what filled me up I had pop and snacks and my son is just fine he weighed 6.1 and now now I'm pregnant with my 2nd going through the same thing so far I gained 3lbs
Oh thank you and glad to hear your baby came out healthy :)
