What Does Loos Of Appetite In Pregnant Woman Indicate?

Hello, my sister is 6 months pregnant and has no appetite. It isn t because she is feeling sick. In fact, she feels wonderful and is still able to do everything that she was able to do before she was pregnant. She simply is not hungry. This worries me because in my second pregnancy I was not overly hungry myself and three months after my son was born, we lost him due to SIDs. Thank you so much, Rachael

Hello madam,I understand your concern.in my opinion there is no relation between the appetite during pregnancy and SIDS.Its usual to have low appetite in pregnancy due
to harmonal effect.progesterone harmone causes gastritis,fullness of stomach and sometimes nausea due to gastritis.and all these may decrease the appetite.so dont worry ask her to take nutrituous food every 2 hrs in small quantities even if she is not feeling hungry.tell her that even if she is not hungry the baby has to be given food correctly so she has to take for sure.also consult gynae and take medicines for gastritis and if no gastritis you can have the medicine which increase the appetite.
