Anyone’s taste changed after having a baby?

I just wondered if anyone else had found this, when I got pregnant my tastes changed with some foods. I never used to like coriander but I do now! Has anyone else started liking food they didn’t used to or the other way round?

Blue cheese, used to love it, never fancied it since first pregnancy.

Yes! I started liking blue cheese and physically craved spicy food after having my DD. It does seem to have calmed down a lot though recently and my tolerance for spice has gone down again. In pregnancy itself i craved tea and diet coke. Not fussed about either now!

I gave up alcohol for over a year due to pregnancy and breastfeeding. My baby is now a toddler and, my taste for alcohol still hasn’t really come back. I still drink occasionally but it isn’t usually much fun, and it tastes a bit unpleasant and toxic.

Yes there was a period of time whenDD was a very young baby that I went off sausages. Can’t explain it, they made me feel a bit ill. Then it went back to normal. Then when she was about 1yrs old I decided to try peanut butter one day, just fancied it out of the blue despite hating it and never eating it for the previous 36 years. I eat it regularly now Confused

Lamb. Used to love it, now the smell alone makes me feel weird - sort of farmy and unappetising.
