Aversions...so flippin weird

starlightgator · November 2014

What I've learned in week 9: Nausea is a tricky bastard. Once you think he is gone, he pops his ugly head back in the worst way. DH made me a delicious breakfast wrap with eggs, cheese, and seafood. Only took one bite and didn't even swallow before gagging and running to the bathroom to hurl. Yuck. No more seafood for this pregger for a LONG time. And I usually LOVE any and all seafood.

How about all of you ladies? Any strange aversions?

Just mentioning seafood....ugh.......Can't do much meat either, although I've slowly been able to do some veggies, again.

I went from week 12-16 without eating meat once. And I hid in the garage if DH cooked meat at home. I still couldn't eat aged grass fed beef (of which we have a deep freezer full) until after week 20 or so.

It does get better (usually)!

I'm with you on the seafood adversion- I can't even go near the fresh seafood area of the grocery store without gagging. I've also been iffy with meat in general, and can't stand the smell of beer. DHs beer breath has been killing me.

Ya I had meat issues as well. But I had/still have a texture issue. Anything that is like soggy bread, can't do it.

Also, brushing my teeth was really hard for a while there.

As a vegetarian, meat is always gross to me (y'all know it's like dead flesh, just one step away from rotting, right? ;-) ). What been frustrating this time is that I still have an aversion to beans. We buy beans in bulk and use a pressure cooker, and that smell was just about the worst thing in the world during first tri. DH, who conversely has been on a black beans all the time kick, was cooking them outside while the weather was nice. Now he cooks them in the basement.

I'm just glad that the aversions to all veggies eased around week 12, although I had food poisoning on Friday, so I'll have to see what sounds good now.

@pblge‌ Oh no! Food poisoning is horrible and dangerous. What happened?! I hope you feel better soon.

ETA: Not trying to hijack the thread!

Thanks, I do feel better. DH went out of town, so Friday night I cooked a lot of food for myself so I would have leftovers all weekend. Then I ate said food. Then I woke up at 1 AM and vomited for hours. By the time I got in touch with my doctor at 7:30 AM, I had finally managed to keep some water down for 45 minutes, so I didn't need to go to the ER or urgent care, but I thought about it! Apparently this is also really common for pregnant women. I have no idea what it was, but I will be throwing all that food away.

It definitely messed up my weekend plans.

I've have been turned off by lost of food. Mostly veggies and meat. I've been living off waffles and cereal. Lol

I still enjoy meat! but there's no chance with seafood and it's typically a favorite of mine. Cereal, chocolate anything, and soup is what I live on anymore!

Brushing my teeth is a twice daily battle with no end in sight

My calcium pills.....no taste, same size as my pnv, but I dry heave every time I try. I had to get viactive chews, which are disgusting, but I can at least get them down.

No meat for the 1st tri-we are friends again now

@pblge‌ I'm glad to hear you're feeling better. Please don't worry about any hijacking threads. I think that's a silly concern and anyone who has an issue with a legit conversation has their own issues.

I just about gave up on my birth month group. There are some awful mean people over there. And ridiculous. I hope that our PAIF group stays as kind as they have been with none of that nastiness silly drama. Just real ladies who survived IF and are supportive and kind.

I think the only aversion I've experienced so far was raw veggies. I might be mostly over it now, but I still don't love raw carrots.
