I've recently found out i'm roughly 7 weeks pregnant, I haven't been to the doctors yet but i've got an appointment for wednesday. I was just wondering as well as nausea and sickness i've had a huge loss in appetite, i've never been a big eater but even though I sometimes feel hungry, any sort of food I think of makes me feel sick. Although I am eating a bit (by forcing myself to mainly) this usually results in being thrown back up again! I'm worried there could be something wrong with losing appetite during pregnancy because it's a symptom i've not heard of. And also if it is pretty normal, any ideas roughly when it should come back? Thank you. Reply to this Question

 hi there i am no expert but when you are pregnante you have morning sickness and smell things that are not there like hot iron maybe that is off puting your food or it could just be a bug going round if you are very worried go to your gp hope it works out bye

 Hi there,
This is a question for your doctor. I think it'll be best to just give him or her a call and ask. I did look it up on the web and found a couple of questions like yours. It seems to be uncommon, but it happens. Seems to be in the first trimester that it's most common.
I like Candy's advice, maybe try blending up smoothies using lots of fruits and try to stomach that.
Here are some websites with similiar questions to yours:

I really think you should call your doctor though, and just double check.
Good luck, sweetness... and congratulations!

 I think you should ask your doctor about this.
I know when Katie price aka Jordan was pregnant with her last she had to force herself to eat.
Your body is in a different place and perhaps is struggling to adapt.
Talk to you doctor and ask her how you can get your appetite back.
Maybe try blending food and making it into a milkshake/drink.
