My breakfast the last two days has been those nature’s fig bars and beef jerky! The fig bars have been the only thing I’ve been able to force in my mouth to break my morning nausea.
I came to this thread to hopefully find ideas for things that will tempt my palate, because everything is just so 'blah' to me right now, and come to find that y'all are in the same damn boat!
So, since I got my BFP, NOTHING has sounded appetizing...until last night when I made blueberry pancakes and a Beyond Meat sausage for dinner. It was divine. Totally satisfied my cravings. It's weird, because my last pregnancy, all I wanted was savory stuff (with the exception of Ben & Jerry's strawberry cheesecake ice cream): fried chicken, brisket, mac n cheese, collard greens, plain potato chips, popcorn. None of that sounds good to me right now.
And I've been craving donuts, but have only eaten one recently because I know how terrible they are for me. But seriously, @Smelh324 your profile pic is killing me, because pink frosted w/sprinkles donuts are my favorite.
I'm having a weird thing this time around where the things that make me nauseous are kind of a surprise. Yesterday I was dying for a bagel sandwich, so I made one, and 3 bites in I felt like I was going to be sick. Same thing happened with dinner the night before! So basically, I have resigned to eating peanut butter patty girl scout cookies and oatmeal.
I don't remember being this nauseous with my son. I'm not vomiting but I'm constantly feeling like gagging and have so much saliva. This morning I made a egg wrap and it helped but it still didn't sound good. I don't know if it's because I'm older, more tired due to my toddler, or if it's just different because each pregnancy is, but this sucks!
@morethanamama I'm sorry you are so nauseous! I've been mentally freaking out today because I had 2 days of mild nausea and was ready for it to get much worse like it did with my daughter, but then I woke up today completely nausea free. I know it doesn't necessarily mean anything but I can't stop thinking about it. I needed that reminder that all pregnancies are different. Fingers crossed that's all it is.
@carrotsandpeas3 yes! I remember my first appointment with my son, my doctor asked about symptoms and I said they are so mild I'm worried and he said you're just lucky! I try to remember that and that symptoms can come and go and it doesn't necessarily mean something is wrong. I also remember things get a bit better once the placenta takes over around week 9. It's still hard though! Just trying to think that other than the usual normal precautions we all take when pregnant, most things are just so out of my control. Can't stress too much over that right?
After my appointment today DH and I got Philly cheese steak sandwiches. Omg, so good. And we ate these while I was in the hospital after having DD so that was fun too!
Well with DD I craved broccoli ALL THE TIME. And With DS it was medium rare steak. Both sound amazing tonight so making home made beef and broccoli. Everyone and their grandma keeps saying *twins!* which I major eye roll to. But then on the way home I saw a lady pushing her twins in a stroller and now this double Broccoli AND beef craving has my superstitious side interested raising its eyebrows at me.
I have the most boring craving lol, freaking salads. Something about the crisp lettuce and freshness of the vegetables makes my mouth water. Minus onions, if I see an onion I will fight.
Oh, and all the sour foods.
Sadly I cannot eat my beloved chocolate. The smell of it makes me nauseous.
I have no idea what I’m gonna eat today. I was planning to make a grilled cheese sandwich for breakfast and bring a frozen meal to work for lunch, but instead I couldn’t stomach the idea of the grilled cheese sandwich so I ate the frozen meal and now I have no lunch 🤷🏼♀️ So I’ll probably end up eating fries from the cafeteria. Not the healthiest food choices.
Tomorrow we’re going to have Olive Garden because one of these threads asked what my favorite dessert was and now I can’t get Black Tie Mousse Cake out of my head.
@JLaVO888, I always low key want twins but today I’m taking care of a mom with newborn twins and just trying to figure out the breastfeeding schedule has me exhausted and they aren’t even my babies 😂 So I’d be thrilled to have twins, but I think it’s probably better if I don’t.
Last night I woke up from a nap craving Mexican food, like I needed it, which is new lately because mostly nothing really sounds good. I decided to try take out from a new place and it wasn’t good! I was so disappointed and my craving wasn’t even satisfied.
Bagels and cream cheese mostly always sound good though! So I just stock piled my freezer was Bantam bagels, if you haven’t tried them you should, little mini bagels stuffed with cream cheese! So not good calorie wise but soooo good for the soul!
@psmk521 right there with you. All day nausea with basically no relief. I’m living off of bland foods and the random thing that suddenly sounds really good

This week's MVP for me is bagels and cream cheese with spinach and smoked salmon. It is all I want. I need to cool it on the carbs but literally have no idea how to sneak in veggies, sounds like I am going to have to do the same thing I do with my toddler and hide them in other foods! Also, meat does not sound appetizing at all, aside from burgers or chicken nuggets...
I just bought myself a 12 pack of mini Naked drinks. I love them and I don’t usually splurge (sugar content and expense) but I don’t eat a lot of fruit in my daily life as it is.
im Like starving and nausea at the same time and nothing sounds good so I don’t eat and the nausea gets worse. And when I do eat the nausea gets worse. Lots of soups and I had a craving for a bacon cheeseburger with pickles pho sounds amazing!
I've been super snacky this week. Like hungry every 2 hours. I packed a huge amount of food today so I wouldn't be starving all afternoon like I was yesterday... And then I left my lunch in the fridge at my office 15 minutes away. I'm in this other building all day. 😭 Guess I'm buying lunch/snacks.
Nothing sounds good to me. The only food I've eaten recently that has put a smile on my face have been: blueberry pancakes, cheesecake, and the potato soup I made for dinner last night. And, I am ashamed to admit, the chicken sandwich I got from Sonic on Sunday (I don't eat food with feet), but I was f*cking STARVING while we were out shopping for antiques in the middle of nowhere, so I was desperate and it was the only thing on the menu that sounded even remotely appetizing.
