Typical food aversion?

Hi! I'm 7+4 today and my husband just requested a chicken and pickle wrap... Firstly I'm not sure chicken goes with pickle. I opened the Branston Pickle jar and the smell made me heave! Now bear in mind that two weeks ago I was eating cheese and pickle bagels every single day, I couldn't get enough. Looking back I think I was craving it. Is this a normal food aversion, something you loved turned to something you cannot stomach? Or did I over do it with all those bagels!!

No that’s pretty typical. This has happened to me a ton . It’s so bizarre when it happens . A few examples of foods I use to love that make me sick now :

Anything cooked on a Bbq ( wtf?)
Hawaiian pizza
Anything cooked in oil on a frying pan
Fresh home cooked bread ( this one is a huge wtf for me. Fresh baked bread use to be one of my favourite smells. I’ll throw up if I smell it now )

In my first pregnancy I became averse to the smell of vegetables!

I'm 32 weeks now but between week 6 and week 25 ish I had serious food aversions.

The one that has stuck is chocolate. I haven't touched it (or anything sweet really) since week 6. Not sure I'll ever like or eat chocolate again, which is so sad!

Almost everything really.

I have gone off chicken. I can't stand the texture of it between my teeth! And wilted spinach - I used to love it but now it makes me shudder

Same as a PP with the freshly made bread. We have been making our own bread during lockdown and until recently the smell was amazing, and I just wanted to eat bread every hour of the day. Now I can't stand it! And chocolate (seriously wtf). Vegetables also proving to be quite a problem. Getting a bit better now but for a few weeks I lived on potato waffles

I hated chicken, still water (had to be sparkling), tea, coffee and most vegetables during my first 2 trimesters.
Before getting pregnant I would eat about 3 servings of veggies a day and at least 1 coffee and 2 teas!

Anything I ate regularly before nausea kicked in made me feel so sick. So basically most of my normal diet turned my stomach. Even down to specific branded items that I used to have.

A specific totally inoffensive pizza from Aldi used to make me want to hurl.

Oh god totally normal. Mine was anything Mediterranean, halloumi, olives, hummus, pesto anything like that made me heave

I loved reading all of this, I find it all so fascinating! I'd be gutted to go off the BBQ taste... I hope I don't have that 😬

I basically ate beige food for months because everything with a strong flavour made me feel awful. Then towards the end of my pregnancy I crunched ice like it was sweets.

Red meat....especially in a rich sauce like casseroles, meatballs etc.
I'm nearly 29 weeks now and the smell still makes me heave!

Buttered toast.. used to love the smell, now I can't stand it 🤢 also bananas!! Just thinking about the texture makes me heave. I was convinced I could smell them in a fruit bowl all the way from my kitchen the other day so off they went to the bin 🤢😂🙈

allfurcoatnoknickers · 26/05/2020 00:59

In my pregnancy I developed a major aversion to anything except toast/bagels, salmon, cucumber, avocado, watermelon and coffee. Occasionally I could stomach something else, but it was horrible.
