I'm 27 weeks pregnant and cant eat. It's like I feel hungry, I can have a yogurt or a glass of milk but that's it. Anything meal-like, from a sandwich to a BBQ and I instantly feel like I'm going to vomit. It's been going on since about 20 weeks and I'm starting to really worry because I'm not putting on weight.
Before pregnancy I was 58kg and about 170cm tall so certainly not overweight, I'm quite active and usually eat very well.
The thing is, it's not morning sickness (I know that feeling well.)
All my obs are great, but I don't know if this is physical or psychological. I have in the past been overweight (82kg) and pretty much starved myself, exercised excessively and got to 58kg in 3 months so I'm worried it may be my subconscious not letting me eat because I'm getting bigger if that makes sense?!
But I'm hungry and I know I need to eat but just can't!! Some days I'll have a tub of yogurt and a banana and everything else comes up before I can finish eating it!
Has anyone ever experienced this??
Can't eat in 2nd trimester, really scared!

See your doctor and ask for a referral to a psychologist, one who specialises in eating disorders.
