  • I find that shredded or in small pieces, it's much better. A big piece of chicken breast is not my friend these days. I do tend to feel better about it if it's organic and free range, but that could be all in my head.

  • OMG!  This is me!  I haven't been able to eat white meat (chicken or pork) since I got pregnant and it started about week 5!  I can't stand to see it raw either.  Agggg.  I did eat a Chick-fil-a sandwich this weekend and was ok, but I think it was b/c it was fried.  Today I tried to eat a chicken salad sandwich, which I normally love, but I feel like I have to throw it up now!  It keeps coming up the back of my throat!
  • YES! I can't stand chicken (except Chick Fil A. I can handle that)... Baked chicken is the absolute worst. I don't want to smell it, see it, anything...

     

    I read in a book that some food aversions are leftover evolutionary responses to deter pregnant women from eating something that could be harmful or contaminated. The book said that Drs. think that's crazy, and there is no link, but I thought it was interesting anyway.

  • actually i hardly ever each chicken normally but now that i'm pregnant it's one of the only protiens that i want.  Beef is usually a staple for me and i really have no stomach for a steak.  i think i'm backwards!

  • I can't look at raw chicken. If it's cooked, I'm okay, but I can't see raw chicken or I start gagging.

    I can't eat chicken either, unless it's shredded or cut up in small pieces.   All I want is meat!

  • I have been ok with it during pregnancy, but last year when I was not pregnant I randomly had an aversion to chicken and gave it up for 8 months. No reason behind it - I just didn't want it at all. Then one day I started up again and it's been fine!

    I am living on carbs... I can't stand most meat right now. 

    This.  I can't think about or look at chicken.  I have had beef (tacos) a few times but tried a steak and cheese today and ended up in the bathroom, waiting to puke!  No meat for this mama.

    I HATE chicken!!! I can handle it shredded a little bit and fried is fine but a chicken breast makes me sick.  Glad to know I'm not the only one.  On the other hand, I love steak, beef, and shrimp!

  • Yes!  And ham is gross to me too.  But I LOVE me some steak. 
  • this is my worst food aversion. I used to eat chicken a few times a week and now I can't put it anywhere near me. the thought of putting it in my mouth makes me gag.... I'm so annoyed because my family still wants some of our fav chicken dishes... and I can't eat them!!! I thought it was strange- glad I'm not the only one

  • I just had a salad, with some chicken on top. I almost couldn't finish it. I am done trying to eat chicken!
  • I am so happy to know that I am not the only one.  I can not stand much meat right now, especially at night, but NEVER chicken!  It is the worst thing, even writing about it right now makes me feel a bit queasy!  I used to love chicken in any shape or form, but since I've been pregnant it has made me gag!!  I was out to eat with some friends the other night and one of them ordered baked chicken. I couldn't even look over at their plate without gagging! It's quite bad! 
  • Wow, thought I was just strange!  I have a really hard time eating chicken as well!  I can still eat fried chicken, but anything not friend, I can barely stomach.  I try because my husband is trying to eat healthy but usually I just end up making something different.

    Yeah, chicken is now really gross to me.

    I can eat fried chicken. 

    It is so nasty to think about. I can't remember the last time I ate chicken.

  • ME!!!!!!! Its sad because chicken is usually my favorite! I havent eaten it since I basically found out I was pregnant. I can eat chicken nuggets or I've eaten little pieces but I wont order it if I go out to eat and I wont cook it.

  • I haven't been good with meat at all, but chicken is the worst. I do love it in the "nugget" form though, LOL!  But even like chicken stir fry, which I normally LOVE, makes me wanna gag.  I did crave KFC one day (weird for me) but I really wanted the super fried chicken and the mashed potatoes and gravy.

    God, I wish I could go back to my healthy eating habits.
