I had a decent meat aversion until the beginning of third tri. We ate out a lot in the second trimester because I just didn't want to bother preparing meat. I was actually just thinking today how it's been a while since protein weirded me out and now I scarf down burgers and whatnot without issue. There is hope!

Move it up, try it!

Sorry you're still dealing with this.

Oh, man. This sounds miserable. In the time being, can you stomach any other high-protein foods like greek yogurt, beans, etc? You could also try adding a natural protein additive like hemp hearts to oatmeal/cereal/salads/smoothies. Hugs, lady!

I hope you start feeling better and figure out something with the zofran, I've never taken it might be worth a call to see if it would help to move it around.

I don't eat much meat but did not want to be around it or tofu at all during pregnancy. I ate lots of nut butters and nuts and beans and yogurt.

@spaniellove: thank you for appreciating my book story. Seriously, when he pulled the book off the bookshelf he kinda held it for a second and said "...seriously?" and I gagged and said "YES GET IT OUT OF HERE." I think he put it in the car and took it to work. I even told him he could hide it and lie, as long as far as I knew, it was out of the house. So ridiculous but morning sickness was no joke in our house...!!

One day I stupidly decided to warm up some leftover fish in the microwave. I had to leave the house for the next 4 hours until WS could come home and air the house out. I hid at starbucks, sobbing into my caramel apple cider.

@spaniellove: oh my gosh! That is like something out of a pregnant woman's nightmare... the fumes from cooking meat blowing directly at her trying to relax on the couch!!

My first trimester was the worst with meat and poultry aversions. I ate chicken nuggets, mashed potatoes, and baked potatoes like they were going out of style. I'd say mid-second trimester meat looked appetizing again.

I have been eating cheese, Greek yogurt, nuts & beans. Occasionally I'll really crave meat & usually end up going out for a burger or something just so I don't have to prepare it. I had to take Zofran well into 2nd tri for constant nausea. You could try moving it to a different time & see if that helps any.
