Worst sickness triggers?!

[Lozzy25]

I'm currently in my first trimester and experiencing awful nausea and aversions to pretty much everything!

The weirdest thing at the moment that I can't stand the smell of is my own sofa it has been so bad recently that there's been times I can't even look at it!

What were/are you strangest things that trigger your sickness?

Steak! Which is heartbreaking as it would always be my first choice of meat. I'm currently 39 weeks and still cannot stand it!

Hand soap... three Yeats later I still feel sick if I smell a certain one 😫

I went from being OBSESSED with ice lollies to literally hating them 😂 and I was pregnant over the summer

Zips
Keys
Coins
Basically anything metally
The inside of my bag was enough to make me hurl, just awful
But the worst was cling film. I cannot stand the smell now.

Not a smell, but any stories involving poo also make me gag

Meatballs . Even thinking of the taste makes me gag now. I don’t think I’ll ever eat them again

HD tv.

Coffee!

OH used to buy flavoured chicken breast slices for sandwiches. If the pack was open, I couldn't even go in the fridge without gagging.

That's worn off slightly now I'm just past 12w but yes, 100% coffee. 🤢

@MarshmallowsOnToast yes to both of those!! Especially if the coffee was in a reusable cup that had been through the dishwasher

The chicken thing - I still can’t eat cold meat if the pack has been open longer than a day, I can taste the fridge on it

The twirlywoos theme tune! I had months of horrendous sickness where I couldn't do anything with DD apart from placate her with way too much screen time. Hearing it will trigger nausea instantly!

Omelette 🤢

Had a bad one in 1997.

Never again

My chewable prenatal vitamin 🤢 just thinking about it makes me feel sick. I also crave foods then as soon as I’ve satisfied my craving the thought of that food makes me nauseous.

Water was my weirdest one.. rain, shower, tap.. could not bear the smell thankfully it passed & I can now shower without throwing up!

Also the smell of most things cooking. Ate a lot of sandwiches cheese sandwiches.

I’m 20 weeks now and while I can eat a much more varied diet, I still have quite bad food aversions! I cannot stand chocolate or cake or biscuits in pregnancy.. probably not a bad thing but it makes me sad 😂

Ocado bags. Like bin bags. Just absolutely vile.

And weirdly, the chilled section of Sainsburys.

Hot showers. I love a hot shower but when pregnant I couldn't stand it, it would instantly make me feel sick. I had several months of having to have cool showers and I was pregnant throughout winter. I especially struggled when needing to wash my hair.

The toilet flushing set me off every time.
When the baby (small age gap) I was bottle feeding stopped sucking and the air bubbles rushed up the bottle.
I worked at the job centre and when a certain claimant (smelled awful) walked through the door, I'd be heaving and running to the loo long before he made it to the counter.

Opening the fridge door🤦🏻‍♀️ (an aversion I'm WELL over now!🤣)

Curry. Even now at 30 weeks, if I smell curry I want to throw up. Devastated as usually it's my favourite.

Ground meat being cooked.
Scrolling pages on my laptop. (didn't help at work).
Onions (for about 4w).

Red meat. Coffee. Went off them by week 6. My beautiful DD is 20 weeks now and I'm still not able to eat/drink them!

The kitchen was by far the worst, no matter who's kitchen it was, i was automatically sick!

The warm electrical smell.

Our puppy. Poor little chap must think he’s done something wrong! We got him two months before I found out I was pregnant and the first symptom was me gagging around him. No amount of bathing or air freshener makes any difference and no one else can smell it! In fact, it’s worse since trying to mask it. I tried to explain to DH that all the plug ins are like someone with body odour trying to mask it with body spray! Hoping it passes so I can have puppy cuddles again soon...

There’s a tin of beans in my cupboard that I can vomit over just thinking about them. I have to shut one eye when I open the cupboard so I don’t see them. Normally love beans.

These are all great

I'm also sensitive to the smell of my dogs! One of them is very attached to me and never leaves my side but the smell of him makes me want to be sick

The kitchen is also another one! The look of my kitchen is hideous and if I have to open the cupboards or fridge it makes me heave.

The thought of any food is awful! Apart from one thing I fancy at that exact moment but once I've eaten it that is also disgusting to think about
