Hi,
I am now 30 weeks pregnant. Started with bad sickness at 6 weeks, went on tablets at 9 weeks and stopped being sick at 13 weeks. About a week later I lost complete sense of taste and smell. Gutted after finally being able to eat! I'm still the same now but over the past 2 weeks I seem to have started smelling and tasting either a raw meat taste or chemicals! So basically everything I eat, drink or smell either smells/tastes of raw meat (like being in a butchers), nothing at all or chemicals. I'm really running out of things I can stomach because of this. Doctor said it isn't covid as been too long (17 weeks) and referred me to ear nose and throat. They said they think it's hormones related to pregnancy and to give it up to 3 months when baby arrives, if not returned to normal they will do tests. Will have been 9 months like this by then. Basically I'm miserable and terrified I'll be like this forever. I've read about dysguesia but no matter how much I google I can't find anyone experiencing or who has experienced the same and it's returned to normal after baby. I'm really desperate for a positive story now as it's getting me low worrying this is forever and I'll never taste or smell again.
Thank you.
