i can’t stand ANY smells :(.

i was craving kichri last week. i made it and could not eat any due to the smell in the house. it made me soooo nauseous.

i was also craving ice cream. bought about 4 different kinds…haagen daaz, gelato, snickers, mango…and now don’t even want to see them :).

It was the taste and the acidity. Apples, oranges, my beloved cherries, all gross. I still can’t eat watermelon.

Cucumber, on the other hand, mmm… I can knock those back no problem. Esp with hummus!

That’s interesting considering fruit doesn’t have a strong smell in my opinion…milder compared to like red meat and fish and garlic/onions etc.

During my 1st pregnancy, I could barely digest fruits, however, I loved carrots and bell peppers.

Then you need to try the orange and carrot combo if you haven’t already. Best results with using a juicer not blender.

Re: pregnancy cravings

That’s an awesome combo! ^

I put that together sometimes and add whatever I have in the fridge…like kale or spinach. It tastes awesome!

pregnancy cravings

During my 5th month all I wanted was really really cold chocolate milk. I used to drink 3 glasses a day. That made me gain 7lbs in one month! But the craving just went away on its own. I haven’t really had any other cravings.

Right before I got pregnant, we bought a Tassimo (latte/cappuccino) maker, and as soon as I got pregnant, I could not even think of having one. Even though I like the taste and smell of coffee. If it’s iced I can have it now.

So basically anything to drink needs to be ice cold, otherwise I can’t drink it.

I can’t look at meat, and to me it stinks so bad. But my husband can’t live without meat, so I made him bring me surgical masks and gloves from work to use when I have to handle the meat. It’s a funny sight to see me cooking. Luckily my 14 month old thinks it’s funny and isn’t scared.

^Did any of you get put off by a food during your pregnancy to the extent that you never ate it again…even post delivery? Or were there foods that you loved or were addicted to before pregnancy but then couldn’t stand them when you were pregnant?

Just the curious musings of a non-mother.

Chicken Shish… I loveeeedddddddd it andin pregnancy, I ate it just once..threw out and couldn’t stand its smell even throughout my pregnancy… it took me three months post delivery to crave for it again
Also..rotiyan… I would go for cooking in kitchen and when back in the room..i m smelling horrible that used to bring me to nausea… i would change my dress after every trip t kitchen

Re: pregnancy cravings

pregnancy cravings

My 15 month old son woke me up at 5am yesterday morning and after that all I could think about was ice cold coke. And the weird thing is that I barely ever drink pop, pregnant or not.
