i thought I got past it all in the first trimester. But I just tried to eat a chicken thigh and I feel as sick as a dog. What makes your stomachs turn in your second trimesters?

Re: Food aversions anyone?

  • I'm just entering my second tri tomorrow and not feeling much better. I'm not constantly nauseous anymore, but most foods don't sound good and if I think of/see/smell something I don't like (usually stuff being microwaved, go figure) I gag and usually vomit. I'm so over this. Second tri is supposed to be all magical unicorns and rainbows! With my first dd I was better by now. :(

  • I'm still averse to most foods. Chicken absolutely disgusts me. Beef seems like too much work for my body (I used to be a beef lover of the worst kind) and fish I'll only tolerate in chowders or cakes. So meat is really gross to me. 

    So are eggs but i can stand swallowing them sometimes. So i try to eat a small bit of scrambled eggs in the morning if i can. 

    I really don't like foods with a lot of taste. Indian used to be my favourite ethnic food but i can't even look at indian food anymore. 

    I HATE cooked food with the exception of soups.

    I am still keeping close to fruit - fruit is my pet food. I am coming around to raw veggies and will eat salad if the dressing is sour.
  • I'm finding it hard to eat anything I fancy. My husband fried some chicken the other day and I was grossed out before he cooked it by it being fried- and then the smell! Omg I had to run out the kitchen. Ok if cooked in the oven. I have gone off all veggies and most things. Fruit and chocolate are still ok ;-) but thats not too healthy.. Have to force myself to eat. I'm overweight but have lost 4 pounds since I got pregnant. I'm not complaining! Just want a healthy baby tho!
  • Meat of all kinds and eggs are the most repulsive things! With the exception of cheeseburgers
  • Coffee! Just the thought of it makes me sick. And normally I LOVE it. I'm almost 20 weeks.
  • Baked or grilled chicken, steak, beef all still make me want to puke. I can eat fried chicken tho. I'm trying to keep up the fruits. I also have been craving lemonade like crazy
  • @jhenns00 Lemonade is a life saver. I drink with almost every meal to help with my nausea and sickness. 


    On another note, does anyone like smell food through the TV? I keep seeing this Little Cesar's pepperoni, bacon wrapped deep dish pizza commercial and I can smell all of that grease and pork through the TV...it makes me soooooooooo sick

    I crave water ice , And cranberry sauce it's so weird
  • A little over 14 weeks here and still have quite a few food aversions. No veggies, basically. Everyday is something different.
    I keep getting worried that I will not have enough nutrients for the LO.
  • 20 weeks tomorrow and burgers, eggs, yogurt, hot dogs, and a few other things make my stomach turn. Horrid.
  • The list of aversions is long: 
    meat
    cheese (if it's melted, I can tolerate it)
    fish
    poultry
    peanuts and peanut butter
    avocado
    chocolate
    green vegetables
    trail mix
    eggs

    I think that's everything. Basically I can eat cereal, bagels, and milkshakes. And fruit. I can't get enough fruit. 

  • Now I'm having issues with smells. My poor fiance can't even sit next to me with ketchup on his food or I get sick. I eat food and then smell food after and I just toss up my insides.... *le sigh* It should end soon...

  • cheese of any kind. even the smell!
    Before I got pregnant, I could live on cheese. It's so weird!
  • My food aversion: Anything that is remotely good for me.

    Seriously, all I want is junk. The struggle is real.

  • 12 weeks... Rice.. Veggies... Beef...all gross me out... Tend to have a thing for pizza (which i never regularly ate before pregnant) cinamin raisin bread, ice water and any gummy candy. Hang in there ladies!
  • I have pretty much lost my appetite to eat dinner, period. I crave nothing, and whatever I end up making or going out to eat to have, I maybe eat half of the meal before I am full and feel like bursting at the seams. Once I eat my lunch, I think I would be fine eating 1 or 2 light snacks and just drinking another 3-4 glasses of water for the day. I feel as if I am forcing myself to eat a "dinner" type meal, with some protein, veggies, and/or fruit, just to get the proper nutrition.
  • Pork!!! Not really a fan of eggs either unless they are hard boiled. Lol. So weird...
