Food AVERSIONS!

in December 2015 Moms
Hi ladies,

I'm 8 weeks pregnant and I have suddenly become a fussy eater over the last few days.

All the foods I usually love have suddenly become a major turn off for me.

I always love to try new foods, cook with herbs and spices and have an international night once a week but now all I want is PLAIN food (otherwise I become nauseous)

Is anybody else experiencing sudden food aversions?

    I'm not there yet, but last pregnancy I hated chicken. Just the smell of it made me sick.

    Only a few days ago I wanted everything (spicy chicken wings, fried rice, savoury pastries and cakes) but now just the thought makes me queasy!

    Yes, I now have food aversions to everything. I'm having to force myself to eat. Ugh. This didn't happen with my first pregnancy, and I'm hoping it doesn't last long.

    It is crazy! I always felt like this was just something in the movies, but so many things I usually love gross me out. Pizza, coffee, guacamole.... craziness!!!

    Friday night I came home to make my absolute favorite avocado and shrimp salad... and then I started chopping the cilantro.  I knew it smelled funny, but I mixed it in anyway.  Took one bite.  DISGUSTING!  Thought I'd mucked up the recipe somehow until my fiance ate 3 servings. :(

    Indian food is another one that's killing me right now.

    Absolutely, eating has become an pretty aversive to do cause I'm suuuper hungry but cannot find anything to eat.. Once I find something I ca eat it once or twice and then I'm sick of it. Even cooking dinner for my husband is really difficult. I guess it's better than craving unhealthy foods all day as other people I've heard.

    Yes!  Last week I suddenly stopped eating meat and drinking coffee.  I usually had both everyday but now the taste or smell of either is repulsive.  I think I will be able to easy back into eating chicken.  But I have really been just able to eat plainer food.  Tomato soup and grilled cheese is one of the few things that sounds appetizing right now!

    I hadn't had any until this week; I am 7 weeks along.  Chicken makes me feel like I am going to throw up-I am fine cooking it for my husband but looking at the leftovers or thinking about me eating it make me queasy.....

    So I am a vegan and often supplement my meals with soy or mushroom protein steaks or that kind of stuff. Ever since I've been pregnant, anything pre-made makes me want to throw up. I can only do straight up tofu as my 'meat'.

    Salad. Any leafy greens sound disgusting to me right now which is weird because I used to eat salads every day for lunch. I'm hoping that changes because I miss them :(

    My husband asked me to make him bacon and eggs this morning, and I couldn't even take one bite of the eggs I usually eat! Bacon though... I had 4 pieces

    @missphilippine Same here! Goodbye fake meats, for now. They just seem to have a funny taste, but then I feel like I can taste EVERYTHING more intensely.

    Hi guys, this is my first ever post! I'm 6 weeks today, this will be my 2nd pregnancy. Both times I have gone off coffee/tea and I find plain water hard to drink, so have to drink fizzy mineral water instead. Although not a food aversion, I HATE the smell of washing powder, I can even smell it on other people's clothes and gag! Lol! Such fun!

    I haven't had any yet, but last time it was Mexican food. I LOVE Mexican food and just the thought of it last time made me want to puke. I didn't have any the whole time I was pregnant. There were also some things that my husband cooked for dinner and I remember that the smell of them was awful to me. It was things that he eats all the time and normally wouldn't bother me and I'd like to eat, too, but ick, at the time.
