My dear chicken. I have a buffalo chicken salad in the fridge for lunch today and the thought of eating the chicken on it is making me feel queasy. DH says it's in my head.

Anyone else have aversions yet?

We had salmon for dinner the other night (which i love), and I tried to eat it as leftovers on a salad for lunch yesterday and just couldn't.

Not yet, last time I couldn't go near BBQ sauce. We'll see what happens this time around.

I had a bite of DH's ice cream last night and it totally turned me off. And I LOVE ice cream so that was really weird!

Mztwilson · September 2013

No aversions yet but sometimes after I eat I feel like puking. Which is weird because there is no nausea to go with it. My stomach doesn't even get that weird feeling or upset. Or I'll get this headache like pain and feel like puking. So idk what's going on

I don't have any aversions yet, I have a craving for Icecream though. Last time I couldn't eat anything but carbs (meat and veggies were a no go) I'm really hoping that doesn't happen this time. Carb bloat is the worse

Same here! By this point last time, my pants were already not fitting because all I was eating were carbs and LOTS of them! Also, I always have a craving for ice cream. Haha

I got my first aversion two days ago - to coffee of all things. I (usually) really enjoy my coffee. This is probably healthier for me for the time being anyway.

Ditto this

I'm having a coffee aversion, it pretty much started right when I got my BFP. I love coffee, too. But the thought grosses me out. Even the smell is terrible, and I love the smell of coffee normally.

I agree with a PP, super common aversion. I've had it in both of my past pregnancies and am dreading it kicking in. Just walking through that section of the food store, combined with the super sense of smell would make me gag.

I read a theory somewhere that the heightened sense of smell and aversions are primal in that it's your bodies way of keeping you away from things that can be harmful to the mother/baby. Not sure about the truth behind it, but interesting to think about.

Edit: Just reading about ice cream aversions makes me sad. Hope that's a short one for those suffering from it!

With DD, I hated coffee and peanut butter. I usually love those things. It was kinda sad, but the coffee thing was probably for the best.

Kinipela7 I completely disagree with your DH- Chicken is one of the most common aversions in pregnancy- I have countless friends that wouldn't touch chicken in their first trimester!

Yep, completely agree with the bolded. I couldn't even smell chicken the last time I was pregnant. Even the thought of eating chicken made me queasy. My midwife told me that it is super common. I'm hoping I don't get hit with it this time around, though, because it's the only meat my 3-year-old will touch!

Eggs. I cannot do eggs.

I really wanted eggs on toast for breakfast the other morning. So boyfriend made me on toast with eggs. One bite, I did okay. The next sent me running. Ive had waves of nausea, but never like that. I like eggs. I was/am bummed!

Not sure about an aversion this go around (with my son I literally vomited at the thought of eating day old chicken especially dark meat) but sweet things do not sound appealing to me at all. Like I just want a big schmorgesborg of savory treats and veggies. Such the opposite of when I was pregnant with M.

chickpea912 · September 2013

No aversions yet. I was really lucky with my first pregnancy - aside from getting full quickly and not loving the smell of peanut butter, I didn't have many food issues. Today and yesterday, though, after lunch I felt really queasy. Wondering if my symptom free pregnancy last time will be repeated at all this time, if I'm already dealing with stomach stuff so soon.

tbmadeamistake · September 2013

Last time I couldn't handle tacos. No eating, no cooking them in the house, and poor DH even had to brush his teeth the second he got home if he had them for lunch! Nothing so far in this one, though.

Lynnja616 · September 2013

No, in fact quite the opposite. I've been wanting to eat ALL THE FOODS but I am that way 99% of the time. Big eater over here.

carissalynn82 · September 2013

Nothing yet but my first pregnancy I couldn't even think about salad without getting sick. Hopefully I don't have bad morning sickness again, but if I do it probably won't start for another couple of weeks. Trying to enjoy life and food as much as possible before then!

LilyLovee2016 · September 2013

Some bread. Like you made a sandwich for lunch and then you go to eat it. Nu-uh. Then Rotel or cheese products. I can't stand the smell of them.

Jennylou0604 · September 2013

Steak and I LOVE a bloody steak. Good thing about it is I can't eat that anyways so we're all good

carissa32581 · September 2013

Any raw beef grosses me out. This saddens me because I love beef. Also ordered a medium rare steak yesterday and couldn't eat it. They brought it back medium we'll and I was ok.

katiebartton · September 2013

Today is my first day of no meat! It's officially began

it all grosses me out

mom2be614 · September 2013

No real aversions yet, except for greasy and highly-processed food. The smell of my husband's Doritos and energy drink made me queasy this morning.

abgail24 · October 2013

Everything! All the sudden yesterday nothing really sounds good to me or I take a few bites of something and get grossed out #:-S

amccul20 · October 2013

no aversions yet, but i'm not really all that interested in food in general.

rachl0123 · October 2013

I've only just realized I've been having aversions....I am a sugar addict. Like I can't get enough candy/ice cream, etc. Well for the past week the thought of something sweet makes me nauseous. Also cereal. I have eaten cereal every morning for breakfast for my entire life and now I can't eat it. I end up pouring it down the drain. Really I haven't had much of an appetite for ANYTHING. Maybe I'll lose some of those pesky pounds I was trying to lose before I found out I was pregnant so when I start gaining it won't be so bad lol
