So I made a beef stew which I usually love but the smell is making me gag! I can't bring myself to even taste it because the smell just turns my stomach 🤢 what aversions are you guys having?

Eggs! The thought knocks me sick as a dog.

I had loads!! The biggest one being tea! Which was horrendous as I usually lived off the stuff! Yoghurt, My sweet tooth disappeared for a while, bananas ( I usually had 1 a day), toast for a while, eggs, they have all come back now though thank goodness.

I could not eat any meat, I could not even bear to see it

Hot drinks for me. Completely went off them for entire pregnancy and until baby was 8 weeks then suddenly fancied then again now love tea & coffee 🤷

So many things! I’m a vegetarian but usually the smell of meat doesn’t bother me but my other half has had to gl veggie as it makes me vomit! Also garlic which I usually put in everything. Went off Coffee straight away which is a usual one and a good thing. Eggs, cheese, pizza, curries. With my morning sickness I’m not sure how i have manged to put on weight! The one thing i am loving and can’t get enough of is fruit and jam on toast x

My brother made me beef stew when I was 6+1, and it was very difficult to eat it! A week later, I couldn’t even have tried. I’ve had a very low-meat phase, in which I’ve occasionally found it to be a good thing, and I’ve eaten a few mouthfuls, but I’ve mostly wanted nothing to do with it, or fish.

I also had aversions to most things I’d eaten once recently. My body would say “OK. You need to eat now. This is the one thing I will accept.” I would then eat the thing. Afterwards, I think that my body said, “You ate the thing then felt ill. Don’t eat the thing again.” Clearly not taking into account that I felt ill most of the time, and that the food has nothing to do with it! I’m avoiding things which make me feel ill, and have given myself permission not to eat or drink anything I don’t want to eat or drink, even if it was expensive and will be wasted.

When I was a few days over 12 weeks, things started to improve. I still have a lot of things I’m not prepared to touch, and many of these things change on an hourly basis, but there are a lot more foods I can eat, including, often, meat. I can also, mostly, eat a thing even if it’s not the one and only thing I’d like to eat most in the world, which makes me less of an absolute pain to live with. (DH has been so good at accommodating me. He still gives me his food if it’s what I need, which is ever so kind of him.) I’m 13+3 now, and hope for further improvement!

Meat! Especially chicken.... in fact even typing that word makes me feel a bit 🤢

Lastbustowhitehawk · 16/12/2018 11:51

Olives, not exactly a hardship but odd because I really liked them before. I also can't stand the taste of alcohol - common and probably for the best!

StargazyDrifter · 16/12/2018 12:01

Exactly as Spargle says, the picture is constantly changing. In my 10 weeks of pregnancy so far, I have only genuinely enjoyed one meal. ☹️

TerriB84 · 16/12/2018 14:08

Tea is the main one for me and I usually have at least 4 cups a day. The smell of it turns my stomach.

TinyMarie · 16/12/2018 15:07

Meat gravy! It smelled/tasted like bleach and I couldn't stand it.

Reastie · 16/12/2018 16:27

Pretty much almost everything! I can only eat about five things and that changes by the day. I can’t eat anything cold as it tastes too dry (!!!) so have to cook everything but then the smell makes me feel worse. This has been going on for nearly 9 weeks now, I’m so over it! I just want to eat nice normal things and not have to force down rice noodles and soy sauce at 6 am because it’s the only thing I can stomach Confused

I can't even look at cordial/squash and omg pregnacare
