I was eating a mostly raw 80/10/10 diet before I got pregnant
and have been high raw for 3 1/2 years. This is my 4th
pregnancy. I've had morning sickness with all of them. I
thought since my body is much healthier now that this time
would be easier, but I was wrong. I'm 11 weeks along now and
since the 6th week I've only been able to eat unhealthy foods.
Even the thought of vegetables or whole grains or anything
like that makes me start gagging and choking. Food smells
also have this effect. I can still eat fruit, but if I try to
eat fruit like I used to I get very weak and dizzy like my
blood sugar is extremely low (I have a history of
hypoglycemia). Its been helping to drink 2 Sunwarrior protein
shakes a day, in fact before I started that I was having
trouble even staying conscious. I don't want to be feeding
myself and my baby the things I have been but most days I can
only think of 1 or 2 foods in the world I can stomach, so I
eat whatever I can get in. Any advice on what causes these
aversions or anything I can do to get in more healthy foods?
Everything I've read says its normal and to just wait it out
and get back to a healthier diet when my appetite returns.
Thanks!
