morning sickness symptoms returning 31 weeks

I had awful morning sickness for the first 4 months and it faded after that.

As with my first pregnancy I was most affected by the smell of onions - but with first pregnancy that went completely after 3/4 months.

This time it has never gone completely. At 31 weeks now the smell of onions is making feel really ill again (at least I"m not actually vomiting though!). And I have become ultra fussy about food and drink again.

Is this normal?

Unfortunately, yes . However, it could be caused by low iron levels. Are you taking an iron supplement? , as this can help.

But, if you look on the bright side, there's not too long to go now before you've got a little bundle of joy in your arms.

Oh ...

I am low in iron, actually.

They told me to take iron supplements from the doctor and instead I have been taking Floradix (but not remembering to take it religiously)

That must be why - Thank you.
