Question:
Yes, I am 2 1/2 months pregnant and I want to ask that I have lost my appetitie just a little bit , I am not as hunger as I use to be but my stomach make bubbles sounds is my baby okay?
Answer:
Most women with NVP have no appetite and are not able to eat as much or maintain a good diet, especially during the first trimester. But these effects of NVP occur without harm to the baby. Eating a small amount of food every hour or hour and a half, and drinking liquids separately (not with food) may help you.
Some women need a stomach medication to help with digestion or if NVP is th sole cause of the symptoms, may be prescribed safe treatment, such as Diclectin.
