Food aversions

I’m just under 8 weeks pregnant with my second and the thought of eating anything apart from pesto pasta, chips or junk makes me feel uneasy. A bit challenging 😥

I haven’t actually thrown up at all, but there is definite nausea. I was loving salmon but even the thought of it turns my stomach.

I didn’t have this with my first. Anyone else have similar?

Yes, I went off chicken completely and meat in general, tea/coffee and other things. I liked bland chips and stuff like that, my appetite has started to come back now 10w+4 but I'm still off chicken, tea/coffee. Really isn't nice

I was a little sick with my first but that ended around 14 weeks.

I've been horrendously sick (though not as bad as those who suffer with HG) this time around and it hasn't stopped even though I'm almost 40 weeks now.

I've just eaten what I fancy when I fancy it this time around as there seems to be no rhyme or reason to it and the aversions keep changing which is challenging at times! I'm on survival mode.

I have been having food aversions too! Meat is off the menu for me, the smell in particular. Roast chicken. 🤢

Chicken for me too! I used to eat it every single day, and have done for years. Now I really don’t want it. 😑i could probably do chicken nuggets though. 😂

I’ve been off coffee and my normal “ healthy diet”. I used to eat lots of vege and clean protein, not much sugar or bread. Now I’ve been eating lots of bread, cheese and pizza. The first weeks I craved meat and potatoes with sauce but from 9 weeks ( nearly 12 now) I’ve been off meat and just want rice and vege 😅
