Pregnancy cravings/aversions... to people?

Is this a thing? A friend told me she is completely off her DH now she is pregnant (everything he does/says is irritating her, she's annoyed by his voice, body language, habits, mannerisms, opinions, choices, everything!). I was thinking about this and remembered I felt a bit like this towards a close friend when I was expecting my first, while at the same time wanting to spend more and more time with my DPs (particularly my DM).

Has anyone else felt like this when pregnant? Irritated sick by some and craving the time and attention of others?

Sort of the same, but when I was pregnant the smell of my husbands (usually well washed and groomed) head made me gip constantly. He'd give me a cuddle..gip, roll over in bed and get too close..gip. It was funny really but very odd! Pregnancy does some crazy things!

I definitely had an aversion to lots of smells, a lot of which came from certain people. I had a colleague who lived on coffee and cigarettes and I could smell the stale breath from across the room as soon as she opened her mouth to speak! 🤮

In the case of the friend and my friends DH, it wasn't a smell that was offputting per se, it was the person themself!

My stepmothers perfume made me vomit when I was pregnant. It was awful/ couldn’t tell her.

Hi! I needed to discuss my weird cravings and this is the most recent!

Mine are rocket and balsamic vinegar and the smell of bleach! Driving me insane. I can also finish a bag of haribos in one breath in.

I wanted to murder my DH when I were pregnant. He'd done nothing wrong I just wanted to twat him one every time I saw him. DD is now here and I no longer have any aversions toward him thank god!
