Anyone hate sweet stuff during your pregnancy?

When i was pregnant with my daughter i loved sweets like Starburst and other candies. I had a hard time eating meat and brushing my teeth. Now my second time around, I'm having a hard time consuming anything with sweetness like juices, candy, certain fruits, and sweet smells. Any advice?

    I couldn't do chocolate or sweets with my daughter. The aversion is continuing with this pregnancy. I view it was a bonus. I'll gain significantly less if I'm not eating chocolate mms while curled up being exhausted on the couch.

    That's great! Good for you. I was crazy into sweets with my first, but I'm not into or hating them yet.

    I go back and forth. Sometime even the site of something sweet makes me sick, other days I'm indifferent. I definitely lean more towards salty overall.

    I'm the same! My family has always teased me for having the biggest sweet tooth, and now even just looking at cakes or cookies makes me gag. The smell of chocolate makes me sick :(

    Normally sweets are my weakness but since becoming pregnant I HATE sweets and don't want anything but carbs!

    They actually seem to be the only thing making me feel slightly better.

    Same here! I've been loving meat and potatoes! Salty and savory- no sweets anymore! Someone said its maybe a boy... That the increased estrogen with a girl adds to sugar cravings! (Could be a wives tale). Still fun to compare notes!

    Im staying faaar away from actual sweets, dont want them at all! Things like pastries are much more appealing, if those count.
    Cant do candy, or chocolate, yuk.

    Just the thought of sweets sounds disgusting to me. I can't do it at all. I don't know why! I'm glad I'm not alone though.

    Thanks ladies. I'm so happy that you ladies gave me feedback. It feels good to know that I am not alone. I definitely can't do sweets or anything sweet. I'm hoping it passes eventually because I would like to enjoy a Jamba Juice here and there. Thank you all for your comments.

    Oh...no Jamba Juice!? Now that is an emergency. I'm a once a week Caribbean Passion girl. It would be more often if there was one closer...with a drive thru!

    I can't do ANYTHING sweet. No ice cream, no chocolate, no sweet tea, no sugar at all.

    I am liking lemonade right now but if it is too sweet I can't drink it :-( Even some ginger sodas have too much sugar for me.

    All I'm really wanting right now are carbs. Bread, crackers, pasta, bread (ha)... Can't do meat either... the only protein I'm getting is peanut butter.

    I'm slowly getting back into the sugar-loving stage, but I'm all about salty stuff this pregnancy. For my daughter I ate sugar constantly. Maybe it's a boy! ;)
    I just got my 5 boxes of Girl Scout cookies and I'm not even feeling the urge to rip them open. So weird for me.

    The weird thing for me is that I am craving sweet stuff, but whenever I eat it, my nausea kicks into high gear. It's so cruel! :(

    Sweets have always been my downfall and from the moment i got pregnant they are completely unappealing!! I've lucked out that other than a lil nausea ive craved and been able to eat salty foods and veggies #! A lot healthier. I too have read could mean boy, but, that could be an old wives tle. Regardless, I'm happy the cravings for sweets is no more!!

    Gosh me too! I cannot do sweet ew, no cookies, no cakes, no brownies, anything with frosting, ginger ale is too sweet, Baked beans are even too sweet for me. I'm loving carbs, been obsessed with bagels and cream cheese but thats all I eat sometimes. I do like orange juice and lemonade though mmmm. DH makes fun of how grossed out by sweet things I am. I'm vegetarian but I've been craving lots of meat, spicy food and veggies. couldn't eat my kiwi this morning it was too sweet.

    I am loving my sudden aversion to sweets! I am craving salads, fruits, and veggies. I'll have the odd soft drink every now and then but other than that I can only stomach water and a bit of milk with my muesli. Baby is making sure her mama eats right!

    Now I can do ice cream but other sweets like cake and cookies, I just want to gag! My mom cooked dinner for us and she made a cheesecake (my favorite) but I just couldn't make myself eat it!

    I passed up a whole table of sweets at bible study this morning and munched on apple slices. Normally, I can't pass up a dessert that's just sitting there waiting for me to eat it, but today the thought of sweets made me queasy.

    I'm the same way! I was throwing away the m&m's in my trail mix earlier! Sweets just sicken me. I also can't stand mexican food
