Pregnancy Update - No appetite, joint pain

Hi everyone

I posted about 3 weeks ago when I found out I was pregnant. So far...still am. My Crohns has not been too bad. I was put on Salofalk to start off. Last week I got some flu bug and was very sick for about 4 days. Now, I have no appetite at all through out the day. All I seem to eat is fruit. I'm concerned that this isn't going to be good for the baby (I am in my 7th week of pregnancy). Any ideas or suggestions? I am visiting my doctor again tomorrow to talk about possible Remicade infusion. He does not recommend it but I can do it, if I am concerned. How can the baby grow if I am not eating??? 

Hi justnerves. I am just a week ahead of you in my pregnancy. I do have less appetite too, but find I will eat (and sometimes want to eat) if I smell good food. I keep eating even if I am not hungry. I'll eat toast and juice at least in the morning or dry cereal. I'll also drink a boost. I'm less likely to eat a real lunch, but once my husband starts eating dinner, I often decide I want some.

At least you are eating fruit, not a lot of calories, but you are getting many vitamins. I'm the opposite, fruits and veggies are non starters with me. I can get peaches or magos down in a smoothy or drink juice, but that is about it.

Also, a lot of women have no appetite in the first trimester. All of my books say not to worry about it. It could be the pregnancy and not CD causing that.

Congrats.
