DW wont eat anything I cook

Hope your head isn't spinning too badly with all the advice, Peter! But I'll throw my two cents in anyhow. For me, a protein drink was a total life-saver. I couldn't eat much, but protein made me feel a little better, so I got a chocolate flavoured protein powder and just had it with water. It was yummy, had some vitamins and minerals in it and it made things slightly better.

Good luck! You are very sweet for posting!

Thanks for all the great advice. As most of you have said, asking her what she wants to eat has definitely been the key, rather than just making the usual dinners because the usual just doesn't cut it any more! I know I just have to be patient and work around what she wants. She is using a suppliment which I guess does put my mind at rest. The funny thing is I am now over eating because I can't stand to see her left overs go to waste!

I was told by doctors that as long as I was keeping my fluids up was all that mattered. Try to get her to have the pregnancy vitamins if possible though if she cant eat anything.
Good luck, you're a lovely husband lookng after her the way you are, she's very lucky to have someone looking after her! I hope it passes for her soon.

Ugh nausea is the worst.

I suffered until 15 weeks with my son and one of the only things I could stomach was Hungry Jacks. I ate that multiple times a week - we survived

Let her make the decisions as far as what you'll cook - and expect too that alot of the time she'll think she wants something and then go right off it as soon as it's put in front of her.

This usually only lasts a couple of months at most and as long as she can take her vitamins it will be ok.

If it becomes severe (ie. she can't hold anything down or is vomiting alot) she'll need to see her GP.

Congratulations btw!

LOL Peter, usually the mother has to go "power pushing" the stoller after bubs in order to lose some weight... Hey, maybe the two of you can go together
You sound like a very caring DH and I'm sure you're going to be a fab father. Enjoy the ride!
