Can't eat chicken!

nenner81 · September 2013

Oh boy! I am having some major issues with the smell, texture, and taste of chicken; sad thing is- I LOVE CHICKEN NORMALLY! What is going on with that?! So far, it is the only thing that turns my tummy inside out. I have been craving apple slices with yogurt, parfaits, fruit in general, raw veggies with ranch, anything chewy (licorice, taffy, etc), McDonald's French Fries, taco salads, spicy chinese foods, and Dairy Queen Blizzards... I am only 8 weeks along and I look like I am 5-6 months along! My mom swears that it's typical to start showing sooner with the 2nd baby and she also said that she doubts I'll get much bigger then I am now cause I didn't with my first pregnancy (I didn't make it to the 3rd trimester with the 1st one)- why do I feel the need to roll my eyes at her constantly?! Everyone has always told me, and I agree, that when you are pregnant you always have that one person who (with hormones) makes your skin crawl and you want to snap at them; my person is my mother... and I hate it cause I love her, but it's the truth. Hoping you all are having a fun time with cravings and are still able to eat the things you love! Good luck with hormones and gaining proper weight! :-)

Me too, chicken is OUT. Funnily enough, my SIL who is currently pregnant also had massive aversions to chicken in her first trimester.

... all I want is fries, all day every day.

Oh, I had to dig out some frozen shoestring fries from the freezer in the basement at 9:45 last night, lol... It was a blessed event when those puppies were cool enough to eat. I felt so much better, lol...

And now I want chicken. HA.

Same here with chicken. And eggs!! I can't handle either lately and we usually eat chicken alot in our house. My cravings have been mostly pasta. Any kind of pasta. Especially with cheese!!! Could that be anymore unhealthy?!

As long as I don't have to cook it I'm ok with chicken, but raw meats and cooked veggies are grossing me out these days.

In my frist PG and this one, I could not eat chicken during my entire PG. This PG I also cannot stand the thought of eggs at this point, but I am hoping that will change because I am really in need of protein! I can eat (and crave) red meat, but I cannot cook it.

major aversion to chicken here too!! I made chicken rollatini last night for SO and I just stared at him while he ate thinking "that is so disgusting". lol!

Cooking chicken makes me gag. It looks like this pregnancy will be dominated by red meat again which is funny since we don't eat much normally.

I've heard that the most common thing women crave is ice cream, and the most common aversion is poultry. Totally fine with craving ice cream! Totally not fine with chicken making me sick.

Me too!! Chicken has been out for weeks and it's horrible. It was a staple in my diet and I am trying not to eat red meat either. So I'm down to ground turkey and pork chops for protein but that isn't helping. All I want is pizza, fries, mac & cheese, carbs (which I don't normally eat!!!) and sugar. I am eating fruit & yogurt and oatmeal but come lunch time I want nothing but I'm so hungry!!

Now I want a steak, too bad I like my steaks medium rare.

chicken is the devil..i hate the smell and texture of it - wish the aversion happened before I decided to buy 3 lbs worth and store in freezer. Blech!
