Heartburn 2 Weeks Pregnant
29 weeks pregnant afraid of not eating enough?
I use to eat like crazy and now for the last 2 1/2 weeks I haven't been able to eat a whole lot. there are times that I force myself to eat b/c i know that the baby needs to eat. but then I get a really bad belly ache. ohh and I am afraid to eat sometimes b/c I don't want heartburn. I was wondering if anyone else has experienced this. and what did you do
Relax and listen to your body. Your baby is getting big and taking up space leaving a little room for food. Try eating a meal but break it out into a snack size. Just eat a little at a time. It's totally normal and it will ease up once your body adjusts and then baby will be so big (week 35) that you'll be back to snacking.
