The thing is, she is being SO PICKY with her food! I don't know if she is being picky or nauseous. A couple of days ago she would eat canned food but now she wont even touch it! The only thing she will eat are some fruits, chicken and turkey...sometimes eggs. I don't know what to feed her, or if I should give her some calcium supplement because she is definitely not eating well. I tried everything! She definitely won't eat dry dog food (out of the question) and now she doesn't eat can food  Can somebody please help me. Thank you so much.
oh and you guys are wonderful with great advices |
Welcome to YT. Sometimes they will get picky early in their pregnancy and here lately I have been hearing of a lot of picky pregnant mommas. I have never had that problem. Since she is so little is important that she eats several meals a day. If her blood sugar is dropping then that could also cause the loss of appetite. The chicken and eggs are good for her. If you could grind up some of the dry food and mix the chicken or boiled eggs with it and add a little boiled sweet potato, steamed peas and carrots or broccoli to it and see if she will eat that. Give her a little Nutri-cal or corn syrup and water to keep her sugar level up. Best wishes for a safe delivery. Please keep us posted.
