Did your food tastes change when pregnant and return to normal afterwards?

Hi there,

I’m 26 weeks pregnant with my first and for a while now I have had no (or little) interest in food I used to love! Things like meat and chocolate for example. My sister said her taste never went back to normal after pregnancy but I’m unsure if she’s being dramatic or not. What was your experience?!

I go right off my Dh when I'm pregnant

I'm three pregnancies deep though so it definitely comes back.

My tastes didn't change dramatically but I started liking mushrooms which I'd hated since childhood. I still like them now and dd is 5

I spectacularly vomited back up a spicy rice dinner about 10 minutes after I'd finished it. As a result paprika was off the menu for the rest of my pregnancy and for a good few months afterwards. I happily add it into food again now, but I've never been able to face making that particular rice dish since.

I went off meat totally when pregnant but came back fine after birth. Pregnant again and haven’t got any aversions this time.

Mine all went back to normal except a few things I tried to force down in early days of morning sickness. Still can't face them now. If your body only seems to want cheese on toast then just go with it!
