Is it cause you're nauseous? I can understand. But try to eat what you can, and more than just a handfull of cereal even it it makes you sick. Make sure u take your vitamins too. In a few weeks you'll feel like eating all the time. I lost almost 10 lbs in my first trimester cause I was so sick and on medication for it.

Eating
Hi,
although you should do your best- I think it's pretty common in the first few months to not feel like eating- my friend's mother had morning sickness with all three of her children, right up until the day she gave birth - all three times !!!!
The only thing she could keep down was lemonade flavoured icypoles (i think called ice lollies outside australia! In ireland, we called them icepops.) well anyway, i'm sure you know what I mean, and that's pretty much all the poor woman could eat for her whole last pregnancy. Needless to say she didn't gain any weight.
All of her children were healthy babies, and healthy adults, and one is almost a doctor, so it didn't do them any harm at all.
The baby will take what it needs first, and you get what's left over. Just eat as much as you feel like, any time you feel like eating, take your vitamins, and it'll be fine.
As for the aniversery of your loss, that must be really sad for you. Maybe rub your tummy, and think the of the new life inside you and how maybe he or she will carry the spirt of their lost brother or sister with them - to look over him or her for you.

Take care of yourself.

Happy Time
So now, what would have remained a time of remembering loss and sadness for you for a long long time, is a time for celebration of new life, and new beginings.
Sometimes these things happen just this way for a reason.
Sometimes we need to be shown how to leave behind a little pain- we need to be shown that we can feel joy, without forgetting what or who we've lost.
In a way, the lost baby will live on, because you'll think about he or she, when you look at this baby.

Early in my pregnancy I didn't feel like eatting anything at all. I didn't have bad morning sickness, and my not wanting to eat lasted long after the morning sickness went away. My doctor assured me the baby would be fine, he'd just sap nutrients from my body's stored supply, but i'd probably feel like crap because he'd be taking my nutrients. So I slept for like 12 hours a day until suddenly I was eatting everything in sight.

Bottom line, don't worry too much, the baby will be fine. Now, if you need the energy.... That's another story.
