PG and problems with food textures

LoLoPanda

I'm having a problem with food textures, and I've never encountered this before, so I need a little help.

Before I was pregnant, I could eat anything without worry about textures. In my first trimester, same thing. For some reason in the past month I've gotten sick 4 times because of textures. One was Thanksgiving and it was the turkey, then it was a tuna sandwich, then ravioli and the most recent was a hamburger. I am noticing that the foods are a little softer and therefore that might have something to do with my problem with textures, but I'm getting a little weirded out.

I have a doctor's appt on the 17th and I plan to talk to her then about it, but I'm not sure if this is a pregnancy thing or if I'm developing this because of something else not health related.

I think it is a pregnancy thing.  In both pregnancies I've had texture issues - mainly with yogurt but a few other things have set me off as well.  I'll be fine through most of it and then there is one bite that causes the me to gag and I either have to force down the food in my mouth or spit it out and then just stop eating whatever it was that set me off.

My food aversion during my pregnancy was with meat, and it had a lot to do with texture and smell.

Hope it is just a pregnancy related thing for you too.  and yay for 21 weeks already!

It sounds very likely pregnancy related. Sorry you are having that issue. I hope it improves in the third tri. Yay for 21 weeks!!! So happy for you.

My biggest problem was with textures and smells of foods especially the end of the 1st tri- begining of the 2nd tri. Hang in there. I ended up living off salad and steak (the only meat I could eat without feeling ill) for weeks!
