I usually ate carbs but I have gestational diabetes this time so I sipped on hot soup or drank sparkling water. I stayed away from food that smelled strong...ripe bananas was always a trigger for me.

It's really hard! The things that helped seems to change every few days, but there were a lot of crackers. Basically simple processed things were easiest, but you are right that every single meal was a struggle. Sometimes in the store, something looks good but by the time I get home it looks disgusting. If it is getting worse throughout the day, see if you can get a little extra protein in the morning, since I did find I felt a little better after more protein, even though most protein sources grossed me out.

I feel like I am just coming out of the worst of it, at 11 weeks, but it's still slow go-- one day I'm fine, the next not so much. Good luck and remember it's short term!!

Its so hard! I know that once I eat, I will start to feel better, but NOTHING sounds good. For the first few weeks of nausea, I found that anything citrus-y was good. The last week its been apples, cheese, and tortilla chips. Now, it totally varies day by day - I'm thinking I might have a popsicle before bed.

@lawbee11: I know!! Hummus was a favourite the day I went to the grocery store. Now I actually gag just looking at the container. My poor husband has to eat all of these things that I don't want.

Hard boiled eggs has been my go-to. And mini-yogurts and bananas.

@Grace: I discovered the smell of chimichurri was 100% guaranteed to make me want to vomit. Pb wasn't appealing but almond butter was fine.

What's with the super sense of smell when we are so nauseous already?

Fruit! Watermelon & Cuties A TON in the summer when I was in first tri! Carbs. French Fries. Even now in 3rd tri, it's still hard for me to ever pinpoint a "meal" I'd find appetizing. Lately, I crave a lot of sweet "breakfast foods" like cinnamon buns, french toast sticks, pancakes, etc. Stuff I usually never touched before! It's been sad since I'm kind of a foodie and loved to eat prior to pregnancy.
