Struggling to eat healthily πŸ˜” nausea/aversions

Advice

This is my second pregnancy, I am 11.5 weeks. First pregnancy was smooth sailing and I realise I was very fortunate.

I have been battling severe nausea and food aversions for about 5 weeks now. I feel sick multiple times a day, everyday and I often feel like I need to gag. I have been sick quite a few times but my main issue is just persistently feeling sick and having aversion to food.

Before getting pregnant I ate healthily and only drank water. Now, water makes me want to vomit (so I end up drinking squash) and alot of my favourite healthy foods are really unappealing.

I feel so guilty that I am eating more sweets, crisps and beige than I should be but I am honestly struggling to want to eat anything at all and I have lost a bit of weight. I am on anti nausea meds but not seeing a huge difference being on them.

Is anyone else struggling/has struggled with this? Would love some solidarity πŸ˜”
