Aversions or Cravings

Anyone experiencing Aversions or Cravings?

For me, the thought of eating chicken has become similar to the thought of eating a piece of moldy bread from the bottom of a trash can. Just the thought of a piece of chicken is so revolting! On the other side (and it seems almost ironic to me) I have started to crave hard boiled eggs! And, I have rediscovered the deliciousness of milk! Mmmmm...

Salt. Olives from the Whole Food olive bar! Im really liking breakfast burritos with eggs, refried beans and salsa. Hard boiled eggs are fantastic. With my first, I drank pint glasses of milk!

I learned the hard way and cannot use the crock pot for the time being. The smell permeates the house and makes me nausea to no end.

I've noticed in the past two days that meat is starting to get really gross. I've just been picking around it and eating the sides.

With DD, I wanted super spicy food all the time.

With DS, I didn't have cravings, but I couldn't even look at tomatoes. Everything about them grossed me out.

Nothing super strong in either direction this time around.

I find the meat aversions (particularly chicken) so intriguing. Thanks for the responses!!

I'm addicted to potatoes in any form-french fries, baked potatoes, potato wedges, etc.

I was also on a huge cheeseburger kick before pregnancy...since I've been expecting I often can't find the idea of them appealing at all.

With DS I craved baked potatoes and orange sherbet. OH! And Shamrock Shakes. As for aversions, I couldn't eat anything red (I have NO idea what was up with that, but I'd throw up almost instantly if I tried), and the smell of coffee made me ill for the entire pregnancy.

This time around, I have a thing for anything spicy, mostly because it seems to be less likely to come back up for whatever reason. I'm only 5 weeks, so I can't say much for sure, but now that you ladies mention it, meat hasn't really been that appealing lately. That's kinda normal for me though, I go through love/hate phases with meat fairly regularly. No other major aversions, aside from just "what do you want for dinner? no, not that, pick something else."

I WISH I had cravings. I have aversions to everything. I try to graze all day on fruit and carbs (can't do the thick good grain bread, too hard to eat, I'm on the gross nutrition-less white fake bread!). I haven't had red meat in probably ten years, but I'm starting to want a burger or meatballs, just something warm and filling. Probably need the iron and protein. I like the *idea* of some foods, but then to actually sit down and eat it is another story. I just want nothing to do with anything, it's awful. Frustrated to tears when I know I feel like sh-t because I'm hungry, but can't eat because I feel like sh-t

I have been meat free for three weeks, but not by choice. I can't even look at chicken without feeling nauseated.

No cravings, just aversions. And once I eat something once, I usually can't eat it again.
