Chicken nuggets, chicken breast and now a tikka masala and they come back up, guess I'm getting my protein a different way. What was yours?

When I was pregnant everything made me sick but the smell of any meat or mushrooms made me so ill

Unevenbeard · 01/04/2018 07:05

Oven chips

With both pregnancies Thai red curry smell made me sick. Couldn't eat anything spicy with my second. Beige food was my friend, especially potato. With my first, I had bad morning sickness and the only way to get through was to constantly snack but very small amounts. On bad days, only salt and vinegar crisps would stay down. Yuk.

On the other hand, with my first I craved ice cubes so much. Would just fill a glass and crunch my way to the through them.

English muffins.

Marmite and tea, which I normally love.

Red meat / roast dinners / tuna / fried food / bacon

Anything with a strong smell

I aas staying with parents at the time waiting for House to be ready to move into and I actually had proper melt downs over some of their cooking smells

Everything! The smell of food would make me so ill, I basically lived on boiled sweets and porkie pear ice lollies for 16 weeks.

MacMoo · 01/04/2018 12:54

35 weeks and Chicken! Actually all poultry and eggs.

Fidgety31 · 01/04/2018 13:00

Nothing - I will eat everything. 😂

BexleyRae · 01/04/2018 13:03

Instant coffee, I still don't really like it now and DD is 18 months, i drank loads before i was pregnant

Scrumptiousbears · 01/04/2018 13:03

Mine was Coke/Pepsi and coffee. With both pregnancies from about week 3 I couldn't stand any of it and the days I had them I went straight back to drinking them.

iklboo · 01/04/2018 13:06

I totally went off tea and chicken.

jimijack · 01/04/2018 13:08

Even the word "breakfast" could induce me to vomit, seeing the printed word or hearing it.

We were doing our house up, had no kitchen, just a kettle, a microwave cold tap and a washing up bowl for about 5 months. We lived on microwave meals, asda did a complete breakfast in a box, it was that. I couldn't stomach them, so throughout pregnancy, I was totally adverse to anything remotely connected.

My craving was ice, crushed, cubed, anything ice based.

Red hot spicy curries. Used to love them. Sadly after having DD I can't stomach them now.

On the flip side I got a proper taste for smoked bacon when previously I didn't like bacon. There was one night I went through ten rashers on fresh white bread and butter butties. So it wasn't all bad.

iklboo · 01/04/2018 13:28

I can't really face broccoli much after having DS and I used to love it. He's 12 now.

GoodJobShesCute · 01/04/2018 13:30

Cucumber with no.1 and dairy products with no.2!

halfwitpicker · 01/04/2018 16:47

Meat in big pieces I. E steak, chicken fillet, pork chop. Mince and diced chicken was OK.

Semi cooked veg I. E. stir fry, fajitas. Fully cooked or raw was fine.

Massive citrus craving with DD, drank pineapple juice by the bucket load.

halfwitpicker · 01/04/2018 16:48

Also coffee for the first trimester. After that just had one cup per day, which was tough. Had mint tea instead, ugh.

halfwitpicker · 01/04/2018 16:51

Lotta chicken on here quack

AyeAyeFishyPie · 01/04/2018 20:03

Soup. Why would anyone eat something that so closely resembles vomit?!

OutofSyncGirl · 02/04/2018 00:40

Onions. Even reading the word would make me throw up. Luckily I don’t feel that way now!

IMBU · 02/04/2018 11:08

Wheetabix (both times). I couldn't keep it down.
