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.
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.

OH NO!!! That's so sad!
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!

Sad!
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.
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.

@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

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!

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.

I could barely go into the kitchen! Every time I opened the fridge it made me want to throw up!

@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.
@ms.janedoe: lucky!

Aw...peanut butter was one of the very few things I could reliably eat when I was pregnant!
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).

@illumina: this!
@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.

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!
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....

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.

@illumina: Me too, the actual fridge is like my biggest aversion. I literally gag when I open it up in the morning.
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.

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.

@junebugmama: Avocado was mine too! I realized it when I was gobbling down some guac!
Eggs, chicken and ketchup.

For me, it's been meat. All meat. I just don't want it at all. I'm normally a huge carnivore.

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!

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.

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.

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.

Chocolate and peanut butter!!!! Sadness I also had a kitchen sink aversion - I couldn't go near it and do dishes for weeks
pomegranate / 3003 posts
I couldn't handle leafy greens, oatmeal, or the smell of DH's laundry basket in the first trimester.

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.
Now 2 months postpartum I feel normal again! Long live the chicken

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!

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.
Seems like the foods I do want are mostly things I ate as a kid - iceberg lettuce salads, cup noodles and macaroni & cheese, fruit juices, and MILK! I haven't had milk in years and now I can get enough. So interesting.
