Hi,
I am 6weeks and 4 days pregnant and have really gone off chocolate. The look, smell or even talking about it makes me want to be sick, ( before i was pregnant i was a chocoholic lol) now i cant stand the stuff

Just for fun i was wondering if anyone else has really gone off something they previously loved?

Yes, my midwife said your body has a good system of stopping you eating what is bad for you so I can understand tea, coffee and chocolate... but what's in a carrot??!

Not only can i not stand chocolate, i cant drink tea or coffee now either in fact i have to force myself to drink anything as nothing takes my fancy. forcing myself to sip water throughout the day. Also i am tired of cooking things and then i cant eat them. oh well i shouldn't complain, having my baby will be worth it.

My body is obviously shite at filtering out what is bad for me

I am craving tea, coffee, chocolate and alcohol (obviously not indulging in the latter!)

Off - tea (normally drink at least 3 cups per day). I still get DH to make them for me make them though because I still need the 'ritual' of having one (and dunking a biccie in it).

On - Chicken and Mushroom Pot Noodle - would not usually be seen near one!

oh and the smell of peas makes me feel nauseous

this is making me smile! my first sign of being PG was going off alcohol big style. every drink tasted 'musty' so I gave up. also went off cooked meat ie ham sandwich bleurgh! but craved curry and red meat - steak etc and carbs- loved crisps and bread and cake. DS is 8 now and loves curry and meat and cake even more than me

Nothing this time, but last time it was

Gravy
Tea
Coffee
Meat
Alcohol
Butter (for a little while)

Alicetheinvisible · 09/05/2010 21:59

I did find everything tasted metallic this time though...

I went off coffee when pregnant with DS. Still don't like the smell or taste of it.

DS is now 18 years old!

i'm amazed how many people have gone off meat i didn't have this last time but this time i'm really struggling with it.

most times i'm ok if i am presented with it to eat but can't cook it.

if going on the theory your body is protecting itself what on earth is wrong with meat?!

Thats funny i can eat cooked carrots either they taste funny but raw ones are ok.

I have gone off the dog, and DH!
I havn't gone off any food this time!
First time was meat, couldn't even cook it during first trimester.
I am craving chocolate like mad this time, wish I could go off it
minimarmite, I'm with you for the chicken and mushroom pot noodle.
I craved them with first. that is how I knew I was preggers this time, cause I had two in onenight, and never ever have them - I hate mushrooms!
I must have been about 2 weeks up duff then?

Ham with DD and that was 8 years ago, still cant eat it or I will be sick.

This time round most meats apart from beef and I used to love cooking a Sunday roast and tucking into my fab roast chicken but now nope, I have to watch DD and DP eating my lovely roasts and I'm stuck with veg and afew roast spuds and maybe a yorkie pud, just hope after this one is born my love of meat will return

Sarahlou8 vitamin A is in carrots - I know you can't eat liver because too much vitamin A can be dangerous - I wonder if that's something to do with it.

When my aunt was pregnant, she couldn't stand the sight of Oreo packets and went off one of her skirts - she just couldn't look at at.
