Ordered one at lunch yesterday, and I could even rationalize that it tasted good and was a good salad, but about two bites in I thought I was going to throw up. Only had a few bites and had to change dinner plans because we had planned on making salads for dinner! So, yeah, I have a feeling there won't be any salads in my immediate future. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-wereare-your-pregnancy-aversions#post-867566 Wed, 19 Jun 2013 11:40:19 +0000 Lindsay05 867566@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Peanut Butter (which I LOVE normally :( ) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-wereare-your-pregnancy-aversions#post-867529 Wed, 19 Jun 2013 11:28:47 +0000 SugarplumsMom 867529@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I hated all sweets. Everything tasted overwhelmingly sweet to me during my 1st &amp; 2nd tri. We visited my mom during that time and my aunt bought all kinds of tarts and cakes and I couldn't have ANY of it :(</p> <p>I also couldn't eat anything fried. It got me feeling sick after and I love fried foods, especially since there isn't a fried chicken joint in the whole country and since I was home, we'd pass by multiple chains and I couldn't have any :( </p> <p>All I really wanted was veggies, especially ong choy or kangkong! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-wereare-your-pregnancy-aversions#post-867527 Wed, 19 Jun 2013 11:27:58 +0000 sweetooth 867527@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>For the whole first trimester all I could keep down were frozen burritos (simple bean and cheese ones), frozen pizza, and butter noodles. Now the idea of all of this repulses me. I can't even handle the smell of pasta sauce, tomato sauce, etc. My husband and I used to constantly get pizza on Friday nights and I told him he can do it - but he has to keep it away from me. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-wereare-your-pregnancy-aversions#post-867518 Wed, 19 Jun 2013 11:23:39 +0000 MsLipGloss 867518@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Chicken and Lettuce . . . both of which are still unappetizing 9 months pp. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-wereare-your-pregnancy-aversions#post-867501 Wed, 19 Jun 2013 11:18:49 +0000 ShootingStar 867501@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>First tri I consistently couldn't stand eggs, bananas, steak, and whole wheat pasta. Other times I would be eating something I normally like, and then halfway through decide it was grossing me out. Happened to me today - I was having a grilled chicken wrap with bacon and cheese and something about the chicken made me have to stop eating it. IDK if the guy's utensil's touched something I don't like, or what. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-wereare-your-pregnancy-aversions#post-867473 Wed, 19 Jun 2013 11:11:01 +0000 sslm 867473@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Until over half way through I couldn't even look at a vegetable without gagging. That and coffee were probably my only ones. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-wereare-your-pregnancy-aversions#post-867458 Wed, 19 Jun 2013 11:05:27 +0000 Turd Ferguson 867458@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@regberadaisy: Nope, nothing.

If we went out for steak, I would eat it, but I no longer craved it. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-wereare-your-pregnancy-aversions#post-867451 Wed, 19 Jun 2013 11:02:39 +0000 Pirouette 867451@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@ms.janedoe: i'm pretty much the same way! just the heightened sense of smell (and apparently only things that DH eats, haha) are the things that get me. But i had no morning sickness, so the aversions really weren't that bad. I can still eat anything and everything for sure! (except goat cheese) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-wereare-your-pregnancy-aversions#post-867442 Wed, 19 Jun 2013 11:00:26 +0000 regberadaisy 867442@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@ms.janedoe: haha not even during first tri?! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-wereare-your-pregnancy-aversions#post-867431 Wed, 19 Jun 2013 10:57:17 +0000 Pirouette 867431@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I was fortunate in not having too many aversions to food in the first tri (and hopefully they won't start in the 2nd or 3rd!) but a few food smells have really gotten me:</p> <p>1) Yogurt. DH eats it every morning, and i have to take out the trash every day because i can STILL smell it at night! especially the flavored ones, UGH!</p> <p>2) Beer. He opens a beer in the other room and the whole place smells like a day old frat party to me!</p> <p>3) Goat cheese. i think this is a textural one. I used to have it in my salads every day, but can't stomach it anymore. sometimes i can have feta instead. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-wereare-your-pregnancy-aversions#post-867428 Wed, 19 Jun 2013 10:56:23 +0000 Turd Ferguson 867428@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Honestly, I haven't had aaaany kind of food aversion. There's nothing that doesn't sound good...sadly. ;) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-wereare-your-pregnancy-aversions#post-867419 Wed, 19 Jun 2013 10:53:26 +0000 lovehoneybee 867419@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Pretty much everything besides peanut butter and jelly sandwiches (and depending on the trimester oranges, asparagus and watermelon). </p> <p>Specifically, though: any kind of meat or poultry, eggs, coffee (during the first tri). DH first suspected I was pregnant when the smell of turkey made me gag and bacon made me vomit. I LOVE bacon, but I couldn't touch it for almost a year. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-wereare-your-pregnancy-aversions#post-867358 Wed, 19 Jun 2013 10:29:17 +0000 Modern Daisy 867358@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Nothing repulsed me, but I didn't really care for chicken or turkey or spicy foods anymore. I used to make stir fry's once a week and now haven't made any in months which I'm sure my DH is happy about since I am the one who likes them! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-wereare-your-pregnancy-aversions#post-867345 Wed, 19 Jun 2013 10:24:51 +0000 swedishfish 867345@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My only real aversions were real meat and bacon during the first trimester. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-wereare-your-pregnancy-aversions#post-867343 Wed, 19 Jun 2013 10:23:51 +0000 regberadaisy 867343@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@lawbee11: noooooooooo </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-wereare-your-pregnancy-aversions#post-867338 Wed, 19 Jun 2013 10:21:20 +0000 lawbee11 867338@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Chinese food! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-wereare-your-pregnancy-aversions#post-867337 Wed, 19 Jun 2013 10:21:12 +0000 Ash 867337@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>1st tri - avocado, eggs, meat (especially chicken), tuna</p> <p>2nd tri - I still can't stomach tuna and avocado.

Well, except for cold cereal &amp; milk.<br /> 1st &amp; 2nd trimester --- the smell of any type of food cooking, the worst being onion or meat. I also really don't like tomato based anything (pasta sauce, chili, curry). And, like so many others I'm grossed out by meat. I can't handle pork or chicken on the bone. But I'm all for a burger or boring bland chicken breast.<br /> I can't wait to have my old appetite back! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-wereare-your-pregnancy-aversions#post-867310 Wed, 19 Jun 2013 10:12:51 +0000 SouthPaw 867310@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Agreeing with @Pepper &amp; @T-Mom Eggs were repulsive... </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-wereare-your-pregnancy-aversions#post-867297 Wed, 19 Jun 2013 10:07:21 +0000 Pepper 867297@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Eggs in the first trimester.

For years I drank it every morning, couldn't go without it. After one awful oj up-chuck incident, even sight of it makes my stomach churn. Makes me sad. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-wereare-your-pregnancy-aversions#post-867295 Wed, 19 Jun 2013 10:06:49 +0000 Cherrybee 867295@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Orange! Ugh! Orange juice, oranges, orange flavouring - even (in fact especially) our chocolate orange scented hand-wash. Yuk!! I didn't get much nausea in the first tri but when I did get a wave of it, it was like a wave of orange came over me - I'd taste it in the back of my throat - even if I was nowhere near oranges (like on the train or something!). </p>
