losing sense of taste? all food bland - is it just me?

[SimplySoo]

I'm 27 Weeks and for the last week or so I've noticed a reduced sense of taste, everything seems much blander than normal. I thought it was just individual flukes (eg. ordered a hot curry, found it sweet and mild, presumed it was just poorly made). But now everything I've eaten recently, all the flavours have been really muted... I wonder if it's me, not the food! At the beginning of pregnancy I had horrible morning sickness and heightened sense of smell.

I've had similar all the way through both of my pregnancies (currently 30w with DC2). In fact it was one of the first things that made me suspect I was pg this time round! Even in the early months when a lot of people crave bland, starchy foods to keep queasiness at bay, I wanted stronger flavours.
