Not eating makes me feel worse. Then force-eating and being near foods makes things doubly worse. I am just hoping this time passes quickly. :( </p> <p>I magically started feeling better around 10 weeks with my first pregnancy. All the symptoms vanished overnight. Hoping it will be that drastic again but I hear all pregnancies are different. I know it can be much worse though. I've had friends who have thrown up 6 months straight, literally every single day. I can't fathom! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-long-do-food-aversions-last#post-2201541 Sun, 07 Jun 2015 19:46:21 +0000 wrkbrk 2201541@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@DesertDreams88: Not really related to morning sickness, but I developed a sudden aversion to coffee (my favorite!!!) the day I turned 6 weeks and the aversion is still going strong at 16 weeks 4 days ... I keep trying hoping its gone away. Haha but not yet ... </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-long-do-food-aversions-last#post-2201480 Sun, 07 Jun 2015 18:22:48 +0000 Bea 2201480@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I didn't have nausea but strong food aversions from about 8 weeks to 13-14ish weeks. Hang in there! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-long-do-food-aversions-last#post-2201478 Sun, 07 Jun 2015 18:16:33 +0000 Foodnerd81 2201478@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>With C most of them went away into the second trimester, but some things stuck around until after delivery. Luckily I could eat veggies again after 14 weeks, but it actually took until months after delivery to want Indian food, which I usually love. Pretty much anything spicy was out until after she was born. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-long-do-food-aversions-last#post-2201418 Sun, 07 Jun 2015 14:52:50 +0000 ZombieBullfrogHoller 2201418@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I had nausea and food aversion until the moment after he was born. I lost about 40 lbs over the course of the pregnancy from it. But the majority of people I have talked to said it drastically went down in the second trimester, so there's hope! :P </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-long-do-food-aversions-last#post-2201368 Sun, 07 Jun 2015 12:54:53 +0000 hellobeeboston 2201368@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>11/12 weeks for me </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-long-do-food-aversions-last#post-2201301 Sun, 07 Jun 2015 09:12:44 +0000 Astro Bee 2201301@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I had a number of food aversions, but the worst was any type of meat. We went to Turkey at 20 weeks, which would have been great, except you try to find a vegetarian meal in Istanbul! The food aversions went away by 24 weeks, right after we got back. Figures! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-long-do-food-aversions-last#post-2201284 Sun, 07 Jun 2015 08:36:32 +0000 FaithFertility 2201284@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Mine came and went my whole pregnancy :/ </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-long-do-food-aversions-last#post-2201283 Sun, 07 Jun 2015 08:36:20 +0000 travellingbee 2201283@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Last time, I was still throwing up until 20 weeks but didn't really have food aversions much past the first trimester. I never liked the idea of fish though. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-long-do-food-aversions-last#post-2201269 Sun, 07 Jun 2015 08:09:31 +0000 Ms. RV 2201269@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Most of mine dropped by 16 weeks. There are still two lingering ones. One is hummus, which I can be around and watch other people eat but cannot stomach it myself. Up until 22 weeks I couldn't even hear the word without getting nauseated. Second is pinto and black beans. No sign of that one letting up and I'll be 31 weeks tomorrow. I had a ton of food aversions, so only having two now is fine by me! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-long-do-food-aversions-last#post-2201257 Sun, 07 Jun 2015 07:32:01 +0000 Anya 2201257@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Some aversions lasted until after the birth, but I mostly had my appetite back in the 2nd trimester. Funny too, some things I was really into during my pregnancy I've had no interest in since giving birth (not an aversion, just no desire). </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-long-do-food-aversions-last#post-2201230 Sun, 07 Jun 2015 06:22:44 +0000 Tanjowen 2201230@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My one food aversion - fesh veggies - lasted until after I delivered. Canned and frozen were fine but I could not stand anything fresh. I think a lot of it is texture issues so hopefully once you get past the morning sickness things will seem appealing again. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-long-do-food-aversions-last#post-2201226 Sun, 07 Jun 2015 06:14:44 +0000 travelgirl1 2201226@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Some aversions left around the mid way mark, but I still have some at 35 weeks. I remember last time I couldn't face garlic until my daughter was about six months old! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-long-do-food-aversions-last#post-2201219 Sun, 07 Jun 2015 05:55:04 +0000 gilmoregirl 2201219@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I was nauseous and sick well into the second tri and nearly the third, but the food aversions got better around 11 weeks. At that point I could stomach the sight/thought of food. Shortly after I could eat some of it. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-long-do-food-aversions-last#post-2201212 Sun, 07 Jun 2015 05:39:01 +0000 hilsy85 2201212@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Around 12 weeks for me this time around. I think it depends on the severity though. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-long-do-food-aversions-last#post-2201181 Sat, 06 Jun 2015 23:26:44 +0000 Meowkers 2201181@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I had two food aversions during pregnancy. I'm not 5 months PP and one aversion is still going strong. The other gradually tapered off after I had DD. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-long-do-food-aversions-last#post-2201164 Sat, 06 Jun 2015 22:23:00 +0000 lovehoneybee 2201164@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>With my first it lasted until after he was born. My diet basically subsisted of peanut butter and jelly sandwiches...even the thought of trying most other things made me gag. </p> <p>I'm 11.5w with my second and my appetite started coming back last week. I had a cup of coffee and runny eggs for the first time this morning. Weeks 5-10 I pretty much just ate chicken noodle soup. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-long-do-food-aversions-last#post-2201163 Sat, 06 Jun 2015 22:22:15 +0000 Anagram 2201163@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>In my first pregnancy, my food aversions left when the nausea left at 17 weeks. THis time, not till 22 weeks, but I still have an aversion to a couple of things. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-long-do-food-aversions-last#post-2201162 Sat, 06 Jun 2015 22:18:29 +0000 Mrs. Pickle 2201162@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I had strong aversions to most food groups until twelve weeks. I lived on carbs and fruit. There are still some things that I don't like that I usually love, like seafood. But the thought of it doesn't make me feel nauseous anymore. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-long-do-food-aversions-last#post-2201156 Sat, 06 Jun 2015 21:43:29 +0000 Mamasig 2201156@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I had a lot of food aversions with my second pregnancy. Most went away by the late second/ early third trimester. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-long-do-food-aversions-last#post-2201154 Sat, 06 Jun 2015 21:35:48 +0000 jhd 2201154@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I had a few things that I just didn't eat while pregnant, but as the nausea was less intense I was able to eat a bigger variety of foods. 1st trimester was all about survival! It will be ok!! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-long-do-food-aversions-last#post-2201153 Sat, 06 Jun 2015 21:29:05 +0000 DesertDreams88 2201153@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I'm 7w4d today, and my mild nausea started about a week ago.... I've only thrown up once but that was when trying to swallow a big DHA pill late at night. My nausea is tamed pretty well through ginger gum, ginger ale, distraction, and coughing / burping (gross I know but true!!). </p> <p>But the REAL issue for me is all the food aversions! Sitting here thinking about certain foods (ones I normally love) is making my stomach absolutely churn. Thinking about those foods just makes my nausea increase hundredfold to the verge of almost throwing up. </p> <p>I know nausea is **supposed to** drop off sometime during the 2nd trimester, but do the food aversions stop, too? I already have such a limited diet, I'm now down to about 5 foods not including junk food... </p>
