Nope. I pretty much lived off of turkey sandwiches from the store deli and fruit smoothies, so DH did all the cooking. I had meat aversions during both of my pregnancies, and couldn't even look at raw meat (or smell it cooking) without puking.

NOPE! i refused to cook during my first trimester because it made me feel sick. i also couldnt walk through the meat section at the market because it made me gag.

We ate out a lot.

No. I worry about this for when I do become pregnant again because DH doesn't cook, and during my first pregnant we just ate out and got take out a lot. We aren't in that great of a financial situation right now so unless that changes, I don't know if we could afford take out every night.

Nope. I couldn't handle cooking, or going to the store and selecting ingredients and planning a meal. Or, I'd go to the store and think, OK, I feel like this tonight, it will be good, only to get home and be completely grossed out by whatever I bought (I'm talking, like frozen tater tots, not even something healthy).

We ordered delivery a lot, ate a lot of frozen meals like pizzas, and got by. I couldn't do our quickest take out option Indian, because it would just feel terrible in my stomach an hour later, even with mild.

Nope! My nausea was mild and infrequent and I still didn't cook - more due to the tiredness than the nausea. We ate a lot of take aways!!

Nope. DH cooked. I ate something simple like toast most nights.

I didn't make a decent meal for 3 months. We ate a lot of KD and grilled cheese while I was nauseous. DH didn't complain, those are his favourite foods!

No. Not at all. We ended up eating out a bunch because I couldn't handle the lingering food smell from cooking for a while. I know, terrible, but you do what you gotta do to not puke!

Nope! We ate out a ton when I was pregnant

I didn't cook at all, Dh had to buy food everyday.

It's nice to read this thread and see I'm not alone. I've struggled with cooking food and even going into the kitchen at times, since around 6/7wks when nausea kicked in. My food aversion is not so bad now, so if someone else prepares it, or we eat out, I'm fine.

Unfortunately I work as a personal chef and had to cook for work. I would literally be cooking and have to run to throw up. But there was NO cooking at home. My husband got by on pasta and take out burritos.

Nope. I'm not nauseated anymore, but I've been really slacking with cooking throughout this entire pregnancy. Nothing seems appealing and I just don't have the energy.

I couldn't be around food at all! I tried and it wasnt happening.
