Weird things (not food) that bring back the feeling of morning sickness

[scrambledeggy]

I know people sometimes find that if they smell a food that triggered pregnancy sickness, they can still feel sick years later.

When I was pregnant with DD in 2020 there was a specific song that was on the radio a lot and I still cannot hear it now without feeling sick!

Does anyone else have any non-food things that bring back the sicky feeling?

The smell of oil seed rape is guaranteed to make me feel like I'm going to retch.

Yes, I have this too! Awful!

The smell of coffee and bacon
i had sickness all the way through my first pregnancy and came downstairs at my parents,my mother had made ‘real’ coffee and was cooking herself a bacon sandwich-the smell hit me in the face and I just puked all over myself and the floor
i can eat bacon now but have never touched coffee since

i can’t eat extra strong mints either as I lived on them to get rid of the nausea

I also can’t walk past any burger joint,swimming pools,be near anyone smoking or near a bottle of jack Daniel’s/Irish cream/cider as it sets me off again

shes 26 now

My family were watching a television series at the time and all I would hear was the opening track. Whenever I hear that track now I automatically feel sick. Ugh!

Bio oil - the stuff that I applied happily daily when pregnant now makes me boak.

Ahh but did it work is the question @habibihabibi

Lemon scented soap
Masterchef

In the night garden and the CBeebies close down music - my morning sickness with my second was always the worst in the evenings at just this time when eldest was 2. Instant nausea if I hear either of them even now

Oh I've just realised this is why geranium scented things make me feel sick.
I had a stretch mark cream with geranium scent in it when I was pregnant and had awful morning sickness.

Dior Joy, I wish I hadn’t worn it during the morning sickness stage

Pregnant 20 years ago - I still can’t stand the smell of Aussie shampoo will make me feel sick instantly.

Fairy non-bio second pregnancy 13 years ago still can’t smell that either!

Airwick pure soft cotton air freshener.
I love other cotton/clean linen smells but this one was around when I had morning sickness and I have thrown up at the smell of it and its been years. I can smell it on peoples clothes if they have it in their house its completely revolting to me now.

The sea grass style Kallax boxes that my kids toys are in. Whenever I get a whiff it takes me right back 😭

Tiger King. Specifically when one of the staff had half their arm bit off as I was lay in bed eating a pizza trying to curb the sickness. I spewed all over the duvet. Any mention of Tiger King takes me straight back to that moment. Grim.

Putting petrol in the car. The fumes knocked me sick when I was pregnant and even 14 years later I can be transported back to nauseous!

Brushing my teeth. It isn’t the taste of the toothpaste, I’ve tried all sorts instead of mint, it’s the brush in my mouth. Sometimes I actually retch. It’s been 18 years!

Seagulls.

A week in Mevagissey, 14 years ago, peak morning sickness. DH was working, I was mostly sat on a park bench with a can of warm, flat coke and my head in my hands. Seagull soundtrack from dawn til dusk. Even thinking about it is making me a little queasy.

When I clean my teeth and the foam starts building up in my mouth. It triggers something in me from when I had hg. Also, watching kath and Kim or friends as I watched them in bed when I couldn’t move from ms. Sometimes I get random things that bring it back and I shudder.

I'm actually pregnant again at the moment and feeling a bit sick and these are cheering me up no end! I'm so glad it's not just me! @Floydthebarber I can very strongly relate to the fridge one. Not the food, just the fridge air.

Weird one, but when I was pregnant with DS, I worked at a sporting event and we had a table in a marquee set up in a field. That combination smell of marquee and wet grass still makes me want to dry heave. Even the thought of it makes me queasy.

For years in was a specific Mr Men story book that I read to my first when pregnant with my second
Is there a Mr Nausea?

Similar to the bio oil above, Palmers cocoa butter stretch mark cream

Weird one - but any pine scented cleaning products make me baulk. Iwas obsessed with the smell of pince toilet cleaner when I was pg, poured it into the loo multiple times a day just so I could smell it
Cant stand the bloody stuff now!

*pine obviously not pince!

The theme tune to the rubber dubbas definitely not envy.. and things in my mouth. Its only been 19 years....
