I had super nose when pregnant, could smell bad food and could smell if someone ate something.bad before they got sick! Anyway, if it smelled bad or gross in any way I'd avoid it. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/pregnancy-nose-or-bad-chicken#post-2188614 Mon, 25 May 2015 15:51:47 +0000 Foodnerd81 2188614@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Mamasig: I've definitely had that happen once or twice. The problem with having my husband smell it is it will have been slow cooking in BBQ sauce by the time he gets home. But I'm definitely going to have him smell and taste it anyway (he has a stomach of steel and eats nasty stuff no problem, haha). </p> <p>Though come to think of it, I think the last time it happened I was pregnant... But really that time it smelled bad, not just weird. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/pregnancy-nose-or-bad-chicken#post-2188601 Mon, 25 May 2015 15:32:47 +0000 Mamasig 2188601@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>When I was pregnant with my second I could not eat or stand the smell of chicken until I was about 20 weeks. </p> <p>That being said have your husband smell too. I once bought chicken from sams and it went bad within the day even though the expiration date was days away. But the smell was really strong. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/pregnancy-nose-or-bad-chicken#post-2188558 Mon, 25 May 2015 14:12:55 +0000 Foodnerd81 2188558@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Ok you guys are making me feel a lot better. I have been sitting here thinking, why would you risk it? Over $6 worth of chicken? But it felt fine, not slimy or anything, and is within the date. I'll have DH smell it before we eat. :)</p> <p>@Truth Bombs: yeah ten weeks- so pregnancy nose is real right now! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/pregnancy-nose-or-bad-chicken#post-2188551 Mon, 25 May 2015 13:50:32 +0000 ShootingStar 2188551@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>It's probably pregnancy nose. I threw away so much food while I was pregnant because everything smelled like it had gone bad. I don't think I've done that at all post partum. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/pregnancy-nose-or-bad-chicken#post-2188548 Mon, 25 May 2015 13:48:32 +0000 coopsmama 2188548@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Oh my gosh, chicken (and pretty much any meat) smelled rancid to me the first 15 weeks of both pregnancies. I'd assume it was your pregnancy nose provided as @Truth Bombs: said it's within the best by date. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/pregnancy-nose-or-bad-chicken#post-2188546 Mon, 25 May 2015 13:46:15 +0000 Truth Bombs 2188546@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>If the date was fine and it looked OK I would assume it's the pregnancy. You and I are at similar points in our pregnancy and raw chicken smells nasty to me. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/pregnancy-nose-or-bad-chicken#post-2188544 Mon, 25 May 2015 13:42:22 +0000 Foodnerd81 2188544@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I bought chicken today, put it in the fridge within about 20 min of getting it from the store. No reason to think its bad. By when I just put it in the slow cooker it smelled. Not awful or terrible, but sort of grossed me out. No one else is home to tell me if they smell it so now I don't know if it's just my pregnancy nose or if it's bad. Google Searching "chicken smell pregnant" brought up this old thread: <a href="http://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-have-an-aversion-to-chicken-during-your-first-trimester" rel="nofollow">http://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-have-an-aversion-to-chicken-during-your-first-trimester</a></p> <p>Now I'm torn on what to do. It's cooking in the slow cooker now but I don't have to eat it... </p>
