Peaks and Pits, pregnancy craving and aversion addition!

quailbeach · February 2016

Just for fun, I thought we could all reply with our "peak" (favorite food you are craving right now) and our "pit" (food aversion or smell you can't stand right now)
I'll do mine first!

Peak: Anything cheesy and fried!
Pit: My children's classrooms when I volunteer. Why do little kids fart so much?

2015dee · February 2016

PEAK: ALL THE FOODS!

PIT: Unfortunately....none. I am eating everything in sight.

OrangeEv · February 2016

peak: Salty savory things like chips, pizza, burgers..
pit: nothing yet, but normally I have a huge sweet tooth and I don't..

artcheese · February 2016

PEAK: all the carbs
PIT: healthy food and spicy food

morning sickness just kicked in last night

smmatt08 · February 2016

peak: nothing really. maybe water?
pit: chicken. gagging just typing it

lovelynda · February 2016

Peak: Hot and Spicy foods

Pit: Nothing yet...unless you can count that my favorite broccoli cheese and rice have zero taste now...

anna.oskar · February 2016

Peak: any fruit involved in a mixed drink

maraschino cherries, pineapple, coconut, lime and orange wedges

Pit: anything that smells greasy

alysie89 · February 2016

Peak: Ice cream, anything chocolate or sweet

Pit: ground beef, and turkey. Most meats aren't all that appealing really.

JamieK1882 · February 2016

I'm with @2015dee. I can't stop eating. I didn't have this the first time around. I'm trying to manage it but not doing so hot.

KLBell17 · February 2016

Peak: Sweet Potato Fries
Pit: eggs

LGW2015 · February 2016

Peak: What I planned to cook for dinner
Pit: Dinner once it was finally on my plate UGH

ashleyp625 · February 2016

Peak: Lays sour cream and onion stax
pit: middle school body odor and freaking Axe body spray in the hallway at school. I swear they bathe in it when they leave P.E.!

layali · February 2016

I haven't had any cravings or aversions yet. But certain things have been tasting AMAZING lately. Yesterday it was an M&M cookie. Today it was leftover soup. Like, it was as if it was the first time I'd ever experienced eating those things.

missmaehurt · February 2016

Peak: Anything cheese
Pit: Nothing food yet, but smells definitely. We have an elderly man that comes into my work and sadly no one takes care of him so his odor is quite off-putting even if you're not pregnant, but when he walks by now I really have to hold my breath or I'd gag.

smmatt08 · February 2016

DH said my chicken aversion is just in my head. It's a miracle the man is still alive.

2015dee · February 2016

Pit: reading you all's responses for "peak" is making me want to eat all the things mentioned. Ha.

PrimRoseMama · February 2016

Peak: Milk. Ice cold milk.
Pit: So far alcohol (the smell, the sight) is the only turn off.

Koalamomma3 · February 2016

Peak: Pad Thai. It's one of the few cooked foods that doesn't make me want to gag. Also I ate an entire (large) plate of it for lunch this week and felt perfectly happy after. Everything else cooked makes me want to vomit immediately after eating.
Pit: the smell of meat cooking. Anything cooked and cheesy

WildMama · February 2016

Peak: kiwis, bananas, and all fruit. Also WATER insatiably
Pit: meat

lmno304 · February 2016

Peak: fruits and salads. I've had a salad every day since my BFP
Pit: sweets like sodas and candy, and I took a bite of my husband's lasagna today, and all I could taste was fennel. So. Gross.

Sweet potato fries mmmmm. Now I'm desperate for some!

cbamama641 · February 2016

Peak: mug root beer.. oh and toast with lots of butter..

Pit: stinky feet.. I'm a nurse and I have smelled so many stinky feet- it is slowly killing me.. like making my eyes water.

Blonde1817 · February 2016

Peak: Cheesy Potatoes and any warm foods.
Pit: Salads and any cold foods. Not food related, but by far the worst is people who smoke. I've never liked the smell of cigarettes but now I found even the slighted whiff DISGUSTING. At work I had to sit in the room for an hour with someone who could only be a chain smoker because she REEKED. I felt like I was going to pass out or throw up.

curlysue22 · February 2016

No peaks yet but a pit: Couldn't go near the italian sausage I cooked with pasta last night. Cut it open and took one look and nope, not gonna happen.

@lmno304 , was there actually fennel in the lasagna or were you just tasting like it was? I've tasted cilantro in something that had no cilantro in it.

Koalamomma3 · February 2016

@lmno304 thanks, now I want lasagna! Of course after I put all of the effort into making it, I will gag at the sight of it when it's done.

Kaytee1087 · February 2016

Peak: Meat, Salad, Veggies, Soup
Pit: Carbs
^Pretty much the opposite of everyone else, lol.

Just the thought of the heavy feeling I get when I eat bread is making me nauseous right now.

lmno304 · February 2016

@curlysue22 yes, there was sausage in it. I usually love sausage, especially italian sausage, but it literally tasted like i had a mouthful of fennel seeds. Ugh

coffee89 · February 2016

I'm into cheese (grilled cheese, on noodles, by itself) and taco bell. I'm not liking anything casserole related, or fruit. Nothing too bad yet.

katelynrae86 · February 2016

Peak: all the sweets (but this isn't just pregnancy related....I have a huge sweet tooth)

Pit: first aversion this morning...and its a devastating one: coffee!! The smell was weird while it was brewing and then I almost gagged when I tried to take a sip. I LOVE coffee and used to be a 2-3 cup a day girl, cut back while TTC but was planning on drinking my 1 cup a day. I hope this doesn't last long! Haha

depineta · February 2016

Peak: anything with carbs. A place by my office makes the best homemade pita and I actually braved the cold today just to get one.

Pit: Coffee, which is kind of tragic. I have poured a cup every day this week and haven't been able to take more than a sip. I love coffee!

kateleap · February 2016

Peak: scrambled eggs with swiss cheese and mustard (yep...whole grain mustard, not like French's), all of the bread in the world
Pit: raw veggies

no salads for me

monana86 · February 2016

peak-no idea, I don't have bad nausea but food isn't exciting me, and I am normal such a foodie.

pit- anything with tomatoes. We ordered pizza and I couldnt even finish a slice, tomato sauce is just not doing it for me.

cbamama641 · February 2016

@coffee89 taco bell was my jam for a couple dasys.. now I'm all.. meh, tacos.

nsquaredlife13 · February 2016

Peak: Everything
Pit: Nothing

... I'm just waiting for the aversions to kick in. DS1 I couldn't stand meat until about 18 weeks... and then it was all about the cheeseburgers!

moquat · February 2016

Peak: cheese. Second night in a row having a middle of the night snack of babybel and swiss.

Pit: went to our favorite Italian place last night to celebrate DH's birthday and first prenatal appt and it kind of put me off. Too many strong flavors all together. It was weird. I ate it but it was a bit of a struggle.

LGW2015 · February 2016

@moquat I know what you mean, we went out to eat a couple weekends ago and all the smells were just too overwhelming, lost my appetite and I had been starving. I told DH we can't go out to eat for a while lol

Starting yesterday, cooking meat makes me want to puke immediately. BLEGH!

iceandsnowflakes29 · February 2016

Peak: Hot and Spicy or sweets

Pit: bread and pasta

jade24422 · February 2016

Peak: anything salty, carbs, and sauteed spinach (I was craving vegetables yesterday so we got some spinach and it hit the spot... Now I want it all the time haha)

Pit: So far, nothing really. At work a coworker at crab soup the other day and I hated the smell, which is way off for me. My husband's French vanilla coffee this morning smelled awful to me too! But I have been terribly hungry and wanting to eat just about everything!
