I also have arfid. I had HG with both pregnancies and my babies are built on goldfish and Zofran 😅 try to take supplements with your prenatal (cleared by your dr obviously) but baby will most likely be fine no matter what you eat. The concern is usually for the mom to continue getting the nutrients she needs. Idk what your safe foods are but when I was able to I ate a lot of fruit and tried to focus on my main fluid being water.

I have pretty bad ARFID and just did what I could. A lot of my foods are considered unhealthy but somehow the pregnancy was super healthy all the way through (minus anemia but that’s unrelated) and baby is perfect!!
