I hope the peanut butter one goes away fast haha. No reese's on halloween. I will die </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/pregnancy-aversions#post-1142071 Thu, 10 Oct 2013 08:56:58 +0000 anandam 1142071@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I'm with all the bees who said the sink/kitchen and not being able to prepare foods or cook. It's terrible. Other than that it seems to change daily. Lots of leftovers going bad because they seem so gross I can't touch them the next day. First aversion was asparagus. The other day even the smell of chocolate sent me gagging.</p> <p>Seems like the foods I do want are mostly things I ate as a kid - iceberg lettuce salads, cup noodles and macaroni &amp; cheese, fruit juices, and MILK! I haven't had milk in years and now I can get enough. So interesting. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/pregnancy-aversions#post-1141239 Wed, 09 Oct 2013 17:55:06 +0000 bisous 1141239@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I also had an awful chicken (actually, poultry, because it was turkey, too) aversion. I could literally eat it right after my LO was born, too. It was just so gross to me from week 12 til the end! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/pregnancy-aversions#post-1141142 Wed, 09 Oct 2013 16:39:00 +0000 StrawberryBee 1141142@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>chicken. I didn't really want to eat chicken at all (unless the taste/texture was really masked...think fried) my entire pregnancy. I also didn't want to cook. Anything. Or eat dinner; my biggest meal was lunch.</p> <p>Now 2 months postpartum I feel normal again! Long live the chicken ;) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/pregnancy-aversions#post-1141138 Wed, 09 Oct 2013 16:34:03 +0000 deerylou 1141138@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I couldn't handle leafy greens, oatmeal, or the smell of DH's laundry basket in the first trimester. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/pregnancy-aversions#post-1141130 Wed, 09 Oct 2013 16:30:58 +0000 cmbknyc 1141130@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Chocolate and peanut butter!!!! Sadness :sad: I also had a kitchen sink aversion - I couldn't go near it and do dishes for weeks </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/pregnancy-aversions#post-1141119 Wed, 09 Oct 2013 16:23:56 +0000 LuLu Mom 1141119@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>red meat (raw/cooked), bathroom smells...I seriously told DH he had to go at work, i couldn't handle it at home it would make me sick, twice him passing gas made me vomit...no joke. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/pregnancy-aversions#post-1141087 Wed, 09 Oct 2013 16:01:56 +0000 SweetMamaM 1141087@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Not much sounded good in the first trimester, but my major aversion has been to risotto! I make great risotto but right now it just grosses me out. A new semi-aversion is to bacon. I can eat it but I don't like it, yet chicken bacon (fake, processed) seems to be fine. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/pregnancy-aversions#post-1140677 Wed, 09 Oct 2013 13:34:23 +0000 futuremama 1140677@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Eggs and peanut butter are the only ones still bothering me in the 2nd tri, but most veggies sounded pretty awful during the first tri too. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/pregnancy-aversions#post-1140656 Wed, 09 Oct 2013 13:26:01 +0000 SupernovaJ 1140656@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>how many weeks are you currently? i had aversions to 90% of food during my first trimester and magically in the second trimester, almost all of it has disappeared. the only foods / smells i could stomach were fruit, yogurt and bread. everything else made me gag - from veggies to meats. i hope you find relief soon - it really is so miserable! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/pregnancy-aversions#post-1140557 Wed, 09 Oct 2013 12:51:53 +0000 MrsKoala 1140557@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>For me, it's been meat. All meat. I just don't want it at all. I'm normally a huge carnivore. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/pregnancy-aversions#post-1140523 Wed, 09 Oct 2013 12:43:18 +0000 Ash 1140523@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@junebugmama: Avocado was mine too! I realized it when I was gobbling down some guac! :(</p> <p>Eggs, chicken and ketchup. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/pregnancy-aversions#post-1140499 Wed, 09 Oct 2013 12:37:27 +0000 Ginger333 1140499@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>With my last pregnancy it was coffee :( I love coffee - baby had other ideas - I kept trying though lol I'm a glutton for punishment. I finally won around the end of the second trimester. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/pregnancy-aversions#post-1140467 Wed, 09 Oct 2013 12:30:34 +0000 whodat 1140467@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@illumina: Me too, the actual fridge is like my biggest aversion. I literally gag when I open it up in the morning.</p> <p>Last night I had to make three separate dinners. I started to make bean burritos, but the smell of beans was so disgusting to me that I said forget it. Then I started heating up spaghetti and sauce and cheese, and slicing tomatoes for a salad, but then the spaghetti started smelling gross to me and the tomatoes looked really good. So I served the family spaghetti, and I had a salad with all of the tomatoes on it. And then later forced DH to go get strawberry Haagen Daz and ate half a pint of that. :happy: </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/pregnancy-aversions#post-1140455 Wed, 09 Oct 2013 12:27:31 +0000 ShootingStar 1140455@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I had a ton of aversions at the beginning, and it was to things I really liked - bananas, eggs, desserts, fruit. I would often start eating something and then halfway through decide it grossed me out. They kind of eased off in the 2nd trimester though. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/pregnancy-aversions#post-1140440 Wed, 09 Oct 2013 12:18:58 +0000 nana87 1140440@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I cannot handle eggs! I thought it was because I was in Iceland really early in my pregnancy, near a lot of hot springs that smelled very very sulphuric, so rotten-eggy, and the smell just completely turned me off, but it looks like that's a common aversion!</p> <p>Also, I LOVE Mexican food nromally but I'm having a hard time holding it down. Though, it might be more that I eat too much at a time since I like it so much, oops.... </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/pregnancy-aversions#post-1140408 Wed, 09 Oct 2013 12:07:43 +0000 LovelyPlum 1140408@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@illumina: this!</p> <p>@junebugmama: I love to cook, and for about 8-9 weeks, I really couldn't. In the last few weeks, though, it's getting a lot better! Hang in there, mama. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/pregnancy-aversions#post-1140405 Wed, 09 Oct 2013 12:05:02 +0000 lovehoneybee 1140405@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Aw...peanut butter was one of the very few things I could reliably eat when I was pregnant!</p> <p>I had aversions to almost everything. All meat, raw or cooked (the smell of bacon frying making me throw up was DH's first I inkling that I could be pregnant. I LOVED bacon!), eggs, dairy, anything fried (and most cooked things period). </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/pregnancy-aversions#post-1140391 Wed, 09 Oct 2013 12:00:16 +0000 junebugmama 1140391@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@illumina: I'm fearing this is where I'm headed. I'm an avid cook. I make 3 meals a day to be honest. Even making a bagel is making me nauseous at this point. </p> <p>@ms.janedoe: lucky! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/pregnancy-aversions#post-1140386 Wed, 09 Oct 2013 11:59:01 +0000 MrsBrewer 1140386@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Oh no!! :-( Hopefully it doesn't last your whole pregnancy! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/pregnancy-aversions#post-1140382 Wed, 09 Oct 2013 11:57:15 +0000 illumina 1140382@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I could barely go into the kitchen! Every time I opened the fridge it made me want to throw up! :( </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/pregnancy-aversions#post-1140379 Wed, 09 Oct 2013 11:56:20 +0000 Pepper 1140379@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I couldn't even think about eggs without gagging in my first and second trimester. I also couldn't stand the smell of our unfinished basement. So weird. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/pregnancy-aversions#post-1140366 Wed, 09 Oct 2013 11:53:15 +0000 Turd Ferguson 1140366@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I'm 36 weeks on Friday and honestly, I have never had one aversion this entire pregnancy. I was totally expecting to be turned off from chicken/meats/etc.., but...nothing! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/pregnancy-aversions#post-1140359 Wed, 09 Oct 2013 11:51:11 +0000 runsyellowlites 1140359@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@junebugmama: Idk what I'd do if I had aversions to things I normally liked! And yes the sound aversions were horrible, DH is a very noisy person..... smacking/eating noises in his sleep, bites his nails, snores, and G likes to make all kind of crazy annoying sounds too! It sucked for months! lol </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/pregnancy-aversions#post-1140358 Wed, 09 Oct 2013 11:50:46 +0000 LovelyPlum 1140358@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Sad!</p> <p>My biggest aversions have been eggs and bananas. Bananas were from the first pregnancy, and I never regained my taste for them. I ate a banana for the first time in 6 months this week, because now all of the sudden I crave them.</p> <p>Also, I used to love, love Asian food of all sorts-anything with ginger, garlic, and soy was my go-to. By and large, I can't stand it now...so sad. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/pregnancy-aversions#post-1140350 Wed, 09 Oct 2013 11:49:00 +0000 junebugmama 1140350@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@runsyellowlites: ugh sound would be terrible! I hope that doesn't happen to me. </p> <p>Chocolate and pb is my go to normally. It's depressing lol </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/pregnancy-aversions#post-1140341 Wed, 09 Oct 2013 11:47:02 +0000 runsyellowlites 1140341@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>OH NO!!! That's so sad! :(</p> <p>With G I couldn't smell Teriyaki at. all. With P I had SOUND aversions. Ugh I could hear DH bite his nails in the next room, it was horrible! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/pregnancy-aversions#post-1140330 Wed, 09 Oct 2013 11:43:52 +0000 junebugmama 1140330@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Last time I was pregnant I had 2 aversions. Raw meat (which seems to be super common) and the sink. I could barely even put my dirty dishes in the sink. The smell was an insane turn off.</p> <p>This time I'm having the worst aversions. Even thinking about peanut butter or avocado (i have a guacamole addiction) makes me start to gag. I'm so sad. DH's bff bought me a chocolate peanut butter cupcake and I can't even look at it. :( </p>
