Yeah, definitely meat. I'm 18 weeks now and it's only just now getting a bit better. I can handle meat in pasta or in small amounts, but if its just a chunk of meat on my plate... Yuck!

Ugh in the first trimester, so much. Raw meat-- like I said in the other post, if it was cooked for me, any and all red meat was awesome. But an uncooked chicken breast was so gross. Alcohol and coffee were disgusting, which made giving them up super easy (after the first trimester, I am back on my one small cup of coffee a day though). Pretty much all vegetables were meh to me. And over Christmas my inlaws had this chimichurri sandwich spread-- I swear I could smell it from the other end of the house. Still getting a whiff of that smell turns my stomach.

Mostly if it was very processed, good, fresh and healthy, bad.

Orange juice. For years I drank it every morning, couldn't go without it. After one awful oj up-chuck incident, even sight of it makes my stomach churn. Makes me sad.

Agreeing with @Pepper & @T-Mom Eggs were repulsive...

In the first trimester, I couldn't handle my morning oatmeal, leafy greens (especially kale, which I love), or the smell of our hand soap.

Chinese food!

My only real aversions were real meat and bacon during the first trimester.

Pretty much everything besides peanut butter and jelly sandwiches (and depending on the trimester oranges, asparagus and watermelon).

Specifically, though: any kind of meat or poultry, eggs, coffee (during the first tri). DH first suspected I was pregnant when the smell of turkey made me gag and bacon made me vomit. I LOVE bacon, but I couldn't touch it for almost a year.

I was fortunate in not having too many aversions to food in the first tri (and hopefully they won't start in the 2nd or 3rd!) but a few food smells have really gotten me:

1) Yogurt. DH eats it every morning, and i have to take out the trash every day because i can STILL smell it at night! especially the flavored ones, UGH!

2) Beer. He opens a beer in the other room and the whole place smells like a day old frat party to me!

3) Goat cheese. i think this is a textural one. I used to have it in my salads every day, but can't stomach it anymore. sometimes i can have feta instead.

@ms.janedoe: i'm pretty much the same way! just the heightened sense of smell (and apparently only things that DH eats, haha) are the things that get me. But i had no morning sickness, so the aversions really weren't that bad. I can still eat anything and everything for sure! (except goat cheese)

@regberadaisy: Nope, nothing. Ever. I also had zero morning sickness (but don't worry, I have a few other "symptoms" that more than make up for it...).

No food aversions and no morning sickness=eating all the foods...all the time...

First tri I consistently couldn't stand eggs, bananas, steak, and whole wheat pasta. Other times I would be eating something I normally like, and then halfway through decide it was grossing me out. Happened to me today - I was having a grilled chicken wrap with bacon and cheese and something about the chicken made me have to stop eating it. IDK if the guy's utensil's touched something I don't like, or what.

For the whole first trimester all I could keep down were frozen burritos (simple bean and cheese ones), frozen pizza, and butter noodles. Now the idea of all of this repulses me. I can't even handle the smell of pasta sauce, tomato sauce, etc. My husband and I used to constantly get pizza on Friday nights and I told him he can do it - but he has to keep it away from me.

Peanut Butter (which I LOVE normally )

Chicken, ham, and roast beef. BLEGH.

absolutely meat. anything with a strong smell, really..

and sadly, my dog. omg his breath is usually pretty bad, but with pregnancy sense of smell...I felt so, so bad but I couldn't stand him too close to me. he also pants constantly, so it was really bad.

Chicken, lettuce, pizza, red pasta sauces. Shudder. I was so sick!
