Certain foods don't sound good anymore?

samdietman

I am about 7.5 weeks along. I was doing really good on eating more vegetables and healthier snacks. Now I go to eat them and I can't even bare the sight of looking at them. They make me feel sick. It's horrible because I then usually have alternate snacks which aren't as good for me. Any ideas or anyone else experiencing this?!
P.s. This is my first so I have no idea what's going on!

Im the same way. Ive been trying my hardest whenever possible to eat "healthy", but right now the body wants what it wants, and I dont have to energy to fight it.

Yes, it just started for me this weekend and I'm really bummed. All I've had today is a few bites of meatloaf that I had to choke down, a handful of Ritz crackers, carrots, ginger ale and raspberries. Normally I would be starving with eating so little but the thought of having dinner in 2 years makes me want to gag.

Yep, food aversions are the norm while pregnant, unfortunately. With my DD I couldn't eat chicken or turkey for the entire pregnancy.

I Just Started To Feel The Same Way! I Have Now Began To Make Smoothies And Add Things To Make Them Extra Healthy.I Just Want A Giant Bacon Mushroom Swiss Burger With Fried Onions And Pickles!!! Of I Close My Eyes Real Tight.....The Smoothie Might Taste Like One! :P

All I want are carbs. I brought my lunch to work with me. I ended up going to Wendy's and getting a spicy chicken sandwich. I also don't have the energy to fight the urge for crap food.

I'm in the exact same boat! 7 weeks 6 days today and vegetables might as well be dirt to me right now. All I want are bagels and eggs Fortunately fruit still looks and tastes great right now so I've been making sure to eat a few pieces of fruit each day. I did NOT expect these food aversions to be SO CRAZY for me... the morning that coffee smelled disgusting was a turning point

Yep yep yep. Today I only wanted to eat Bagel Bites and Tom Yum Goong (lemongrass soup with shrimp). I figure for now I will eat what I can, and make sure I supplement with healthy drinks and a prenatal.

(Have you thought about making your veggies into smoothies? I find smoothies way more appetizing than food these days, probably because I have grown considerably more thirsty.)

Yep so common! With my pregnancy with DS I couldn't eat any meat for most of my pregnancy. So far this time I mostly just want really specific things.

Paleomama

Lunch meat. Yuck!!!

Nothing sounds appetizing for me anymore which is awful since as soon as I get hungry- I get terribly nauseous. But, the thought if eating most food also makes me terribly nauseous. Go figure.

I used to love Indian curry and pizza but now, even thinking about them, makes me what to vomit.

Last pregnancy I hated pizza and coffee (two of my favorite things), this pregnancy I can't stand burgers (which I ate a lot of with DD) but am totally fine with pizza and coffee. Lol

Pregnancy is weird...

meepette

I agree.  I found that I am craving a lot of things that my mom craved when she was pregnant with me.

Nvywife

I can't even entertain the thought of eating pizza. I am completely off soda anytime I drink it my stomach is upset all day, so I'm forced to be healthier.

PlayboyMommy

I cannot stand the smell of pork! This happened last time too. I can eat bacon (thankfully) and BBQ because it masks the smell of the meat itself. It literally smells like a butt to me.

HerHighness

Nothing sounds good to me at all right now. I'm forcing myself to eat so im not sicker.

lizzybean

The BBQ sauce and pork chop made me hella nauseous last night. And the same effing commercial for a BBQ place kept coming on TV, making me feel sick all over again.

Nothing has been sounding good to me either, except for goldfish. I'm planning on stopping by the farmer's market later so I can get fruits and veggies to make smoothies. How are we supposed to have a balanced diet if we can't eat? :-/

This is the same for me. I am having a hard time getting anything down. Even thinking about food sometimes makes me gag. And I'm having the hardest time getting water down! It makes me so sick. Bluhhh.

There was a week or two in my first pregnancy where I lived on goldfish and Gatorade. Those were all I could get down. I bought some goldfish a couple days ago to have on hand just in case. :-)

pomegranite09 - Smoothies are my lifesaver at the moment, I put spinach in and it makes me feel better about my limited diet.

Hoping there is something I can stomach at my staff party tomorrow, otherwise it could be a very long evening!
