What foods?

[FearnRJ]

I'm nearly 8 weeks pregnant and since finding out I'm pregnant I've gone off coffee which I used to love went off this more or less soon after finding out I was pregnant, Cant stand the smell or taste. I've also gone off chicken and used to have cereal every morning but having toast at the minute not sure if it's milk that I'm not fussed about rather than the cereal. Also my sense of smell is through the roof, I usually wear Victoria's Secret body sprays but at the minute the smell of those make me feel sick. At the minute I'm not sick over anything but it does come quite close.

Did anybody else go off anything in early pregnancy?

Also when do hormones reach their peak in the first trimester? X

@fearnRJ I went off chicken for a couple of week but 13 weeks now and back on it. You do tend to go on and off things so I ate a lot of fruit earlier on and yogurt which is also good for baby

Completely normal- there are loadsa threads on food aversions & smell aversions!

I’m on the extreme end but I can barely eat anything. For 7 weeks, all Ive eaten is jacket potato, fish fingers, cream crackers, cheese, Cheerios (no milk), ice lolly’s & tinned peaches. Awful diet but everything else makes me sick. I was the same last pregnancy but it passed at 20 weeks. My daughter was born healthy & is now a bonkers toddler! I went off chicken for my entire last pregnancy but the first thing I wanted after she was born was a Nando’s 😄

Smell wise, I’m extreme again. I can’t stand water (rain, shower or drinking), shampoo, soap, washing powder, fresh air when indoors, coffee, any cooking smell particularly meat, my fridge, the dishwasher .. the list goes on.

Life is a struggle. Pregnancy is not particularly the joyful experience people like to proclaim on Instagram for everyone..

For the vast majority of people, it eases up between 12-16 weeks, sometimes pushing to 20. Fingers crossed it will for you

I couldn’t drink tea for the whole of last pregnancy.
