I’m early days in pregnancy #4 and this morning, the minute I walked in to the kitchen the smell hit me...yeast 🤢 DP had been making pizza dough before he went to work and the smell made me heave.
Never suffered with any particular aversions to anything with other pregnancy’s.

Bananas

DIZZYTIGGER87 · 04/04/2019 16:10

Hot drinks. Even now I rarely have anything hot, unless I need coffee or (rarely) fancy hot chocolate.

Was never a fan of hard boiled eggs, but MIL had just done a load when I went round one day. Made me sick. Can't stand them at all now.

However I developed a taste for smokey bacon crisps which I still like despite being a purely ready salted girl before.

DIZZYTIGGER87 · 04/04/2019 16:11

Oh and milk... I love milk but while pregnant it always tasted sour... I drove DH mad telling him the milk was off (thankfully I can drink it again now)

ChubbyMummy12 · 04/04/2019 16:12

DS I would vomit at the smell of burgers being cooked, DD I couldn't drink a cup of tea without vomiting ā˜¹ļø she's 3 now and still can't drink it

Sexnotgender · 04/04/2019 16:14

Meat! Bleurgh, even bland as hell chicken.

I mostly lived on digestives and toast for the first few months.

HeyJude81 · 04/04/2019 16:18

So it seems tea, coffee, meat and bananas are a no no for a lot of people!
I agree with cigarette smoke! That’s how I knew I was pregnant with all my DC...I was quite a heavy smoker and I couldn’t stand to even walk past someone smoking. Thankfully I never started after last DC šŸ‘šŸ»

Chicken, it tasted raw. Took me a year after the birth to even think about trying it again.

hopll · 04/04/2019 16:22

Any kind of vegetable apart from a potato Grin

Dyra · 04/04/2019 16:25

Oranges. And anything too spicy. I miss jalapenos. Sad

Bluntness100 · 04/04/2019 16:26

Mayonnaise. Loved it before and after, but when I was pregnant even the sight of it turned my stomach, I literally couldn't even spread it on a sandwich as the thought of it made me want to vomit.

GemmaJen · 04/04/2019 16:26

In early pregnancy I didn't really have aversions, just constant nausea. However now at 17w the nausea is fading and being replaced with aversion to some foods. At the moment Thai food and stilton are on the list... I'm worried that the list is only going to get longer šŸ™ˆ

snoopy18 · 04/04/2019 16:33

Coffee and tea usually love it šŸ˜‚ oh and mushrooms šŸ‘€

Dillyson · 04/04/2019 16:36

We lived near a Chinese restaurant. I couldn't walk past it, the smell made me wretch.
Once he was born, we went back to having a take away.

Salmon, duck and earl grey tea.

I can eat salmon again now, and I can just about drink earl grey again, but I don’t know if I’ll ever be able to eat duck.

Mmmhmmokdear · 04/04/2019 16:40

Salmon in my first pregnancy - took me a couple of years after my second pregnancy to be able to eat it again!

HamCheeseHamnCheese · 04/04/2019 16:42

@Dyra Oranges. And anything too spicy. I miss jalapenos.

Total opposite of me!

Ninkaninus · 04/04/2019 16:42

I suffered really badly with all-day sickness, especially in my first pregnancy. I was sick multiple times daily for the first five months and weighed less once I’d had my daughter than I had before I got pregnant. I went off everything, really, but the absolute worst was chicken and garlic cooking.

DeadDoorpost · 04/04/2019 16:47

DS- chicken, peppers, milk, mince, tomatoes and anything with a tomato sauce, most condiments, strawberries, tuna (only for a while), chocolate (right over Easter as well, for like 8 weeks), pork, bbq sauce, burgers, most cereals, anything ginger flavoured, spices (usually love them)

This one- pretty much the same except also fish, most cheeses, sausages, eggs, oil, raw carrot, boiled and roast potatoes if too oily, and most dips such as salsa, and coleslaw. In fact, thinking about a lot of things also makes me feel sick. I have a love/hate relationship with bread this time round as well. Some days I'm ok. Other days I don't want to be near it

Tobebythesea · 04/04/2019 16:49

Mushroom omelette

DeadDoorpost · 04/04/2019 16:50

Oh, and as a PP said, garlic Envy (not envy) it's horrible. As is water. I'm struggling to stay hydrated as pretty much all drinks make me feel sick

Blastandtroph · 04/04/2019 16:52

Marmite, but only in my second pregnancy. In my first I craved it - very odd.

eurochick · 04/04/2019 16:53

Meat. It all smelled off to me.

Megan2018 · 04/04/2019 16:55

Orange squash and broccoli so far. I drank and ate loads pre-pg but so far can't stand these!

No cravings though yet.

chilledteacher · 04/04/2019 16:57

Haribo with DS1, 14 years later the smell still makes me retch.

Flamingo84 · 04/04/2019 17:01

Red meat! I’m a big meat eater and I sat down to a steak pie at about 6wks and the chunk of meat made me heave. It took about a month before I could even look at pieces of meat. By the end I was craving McDonalds and could take out a burger in seconds Grin
