I have been really lucky, the first trimester has been kind to me but I have had one really weird aversion - orange.

We have a chocolate orange scented handwash and it makes me feel so sick every time I use it. On the rare occasion I get a wave of nausea, my whole being seems to fill up with the smell of chocolate orange. If I feel a little sick, I feel like I'm going to puke pure orange juice - I literally get an orange juice taste in my mouth, even if I haven't been near orange juice. So weird.

I also can't face coffee. Just the thought of it makes me feel sick. I used to get through 5 or 6 cups in decaff a day.

I'm normally a HUGE sweets person, but since getting preggo, I haven't craved any at all, and when confronted with them, I pass. The strong scent of something sugary like an energy drink (co-worker drinks a big ole red bull every day and I can smell it when it's opened) or butter makes me nauseous.

Only one thing - falafel. Lol. We have a great falafel place by us and we love to get it for lunch once every few weeks. Once I got pregnant I couldn't stand the smell of it! I had no other food aversions at all so it was weird!

i love asparagus, broccoli and green beans, with #1, i couldn't even look at them without getting a little queasy!

When I was pregnant I couldn't eat meat. It grossed me out!

I still can't bring myself to eat a lot of things I used to love before getting pregnant...olives and avocados especially!

Hrm, no aversions yet, and I hope it stays that way! Although it would probably be a good thing if I suddenly developed an aversion to sweets...

The first 1/2 of my pregnancy, I was so grossed out by beef. I realized this when I got a steak at a nice restaurant with my in laws, and took one bite and almost lost it on the dinner table. I didn't have any morning sickness at all, so the near-barf was a bit shocking to me. Luckily that aversion has passed, although I did get a little queasy making meatballs the other day...
