What Cause Tasteless Feeling After Food?

I am 28 weeks pregnant and after my meals my mouth feels tasteless as I need more food or spicy/sweet food ... Why does this happen? If I happen to sit for long on couches I seem to have some pain in my lower back bone and gets normal when I walk ... Plz fill me up as to why this is happening

Welcome to healthcaremagic,
Having tasteless feeling and getting craving to spicy/sweet food is found in many women during pregnancy which will disappear once you deliver. This is due to the hormonal changes that take place during pregnancy. Till then eat sweets and spicy food in moderation.
Getting some back pain is also fairly common during pregnancy, use a pillow to support your back while seated and use it in between your legs to support them while sleeping. This will reduce the pain. Take calcium tablets 500 mg per day for 2 months as you will need extra calcium during pregnancy which will make your bones stronger.
Hope that answers your question,
Regards, Dr.Imaad.
