Things you couldn't eat during your entire pregnancy

Re: Things you couldn’t eat during your entire pregnancy

I think I’m having a girl.
Anyways, I can’t stand fruits :(. I’ll take a bite of an apple and hate it or get very nauseous. The only fruits I can tolerate are berries and bananas in a smoothie form. So sad that I can’t eat fruits right now without throwing up.
I hated rice in my first trimester and craved oranges the whole time, but now oranges are like a heartburn attack.
I have no meat cravings whatsoever, but force myself to try to eat something with protein like chickpeas, almonds, small bites of chicken etc. I can’t eat sweets things without getting nauseous. Basically all I want are potatoes. My mom keeps joking im having an aloo baby :hehe:
I haven’t sworn off caffeine or fizzy drinks, but my GERD keeps me 10 feet away from them all lol. I do have half a cup of chai with ilaichi once in a blue moon. I am craving Starbucks pumpkin spice latte though :(.
Weirdest thing, but in my first trimester I had an egg and cheese on a croissant and decaf iced coffee from dunkin donuts almost everyday. It was all I could eat and drink oddly. Now I hate eggs.

can i eat biryani in 1st trimester?

Re: Things you couldn’t eat during your entire pregnancy

Dont see any harm in it.

Re: Things you couldn’t eat during your entire pregnancy

I couldn’t eat any type of Salan, just the smell of it made me feel sick.

What I really craved was prawns, was told to avoid during pregnancy. I ate so many after wee one was born. I even continued to eat em during 2nd pregnancy as when I asked Dr she said they r ok as long as cooked properly.

I also drank a lot of coke during 2nd pregnancy, I think the daily caffeine recommendation in pregnancy is 200mg which is the amount in 6 cans. So I don’t think a can or 2 would do any harm.

I’ve heard some women say they suddenly couldn’t stand the smell of their spouse. Yikes, that’s scary. :hehe:

Has anyone developed a craving they never had prior to pregnacy such as craving meat when you’re a vegetarian or craving a dish that you never liked before or even something inedible?

Re: Things you couldn’t eat during your entire pregnancy

I hated ice cream during my first pregnancy and couldn’t even look at a commercial for one. But that was all I could have in my second pregnancy. Hated salan especially chicken for both pregnancies and could eat mostly bland food. Could not cook chicken at all. Developed the taste for black coffee in my second pregnancy and still have that even though I hated even the idea of it before pregnancy. In my second pregnancy, I got awful migraines, very very bad and only black coffee could cure them. You shouldn’t overdo caffeine but a bit is ok. Could not tolerate tea or plain water for any of my pregnancies. Got better in my 14th week for first pregnancy, got a bit better at week 22 in my second.

I usually hate eggs. Can’t stand the smell at all. I never eat them. During pregnancy I had them a few times a week. After I had my baby I went back to not eating eggs.

Re: Things you couldn’t eat during your entire pregnancy

First time around, I craved blood oranges, chicken corn soup and eggs with Tabasco sauce. Everything else was a huge no no as it would make me barf. This time, I can’t stand tomatoes. Even just typing that out makes me feel ill. Also can’t do desi foods like qeema or salan because of the smell. Rice is an iffy thing. I’m off sugar and leaning towards spice and the worst is I’m off my chai completely. Sob. I love chai but cannot stand it right now. I’ve been craving cheese though- lots of cheese, cucumber, and raspberry vinaigrette dressing for my salad. Mmm… Oh and both times hubby has had to stop using deodorants and shampoos that he normally does because the smell makes me so sick. He’s been using mine lol. Such a champ he is - even if he walks around smelling like a girl.

Re: Things you couldn’t eat during your entire pregnancy

I had a total aversion to our desi spices during the first trimester of my pregnancy. Just the smell of any desi food make me feel queesy! I honestly felt like I would never be able to eat desi food again…that’s how turned off I was by it. I pretty much lived on tacos that first month because that is the only thing that didn’t make me feel like puking.

Re: Things you couldn’t eat during your entire pregnancy

Congrats on your pregnancy! Oh and that is very nice of your hubby. My hubby would never use any girly product…not even if I was carrying quintuplets! ha!

Re: Things you couldn’t eat during your entire pregnancy

Like demesne said I also stopped taking caffiene n sodas…and wasnt eating any desi or fast food with MSG…
I craved for chocolate and chocolate ice creams but didnt have them throughout pregnancy…
Less sugar and salt…
Had the same diet after delivery because I was breastfeeding exclusively…

Re: Things you couldn’t eat during your entire pregnancy

There wasn’t much of a change in my food habits n i didn’t develop much aversions except that the smell of cooking oil made me nauseous.
I crave for fruits.

Re: Things you couldn’t eat during your entire pregnancy

tea.. I love tea but I couldnt stand it during either of my pregnancies.. I slowly started sipping in some in third trimester because I was soooo desperate but threw up often.

Re: Things you couldn’t eat during your entire pregnancy

First time I basically lived off milkshakes, smoothies and soups. Everything had to be in liquid form. The other time it was heaven, I could eat anything and everything :smiley:

Re: Things you couldn’t eat during your entire pregnancy

I can’t stand the smell or taste of buffalo wings :bummer:

Re: Things you couldn’t eat during your entire pregnancy

Wow - alhamdolilah I don’t have any cravings/food aversions. I had a thing in my first trimester where I couldn’t eat anything solid for about a week or two. I bought loads of soups and drank milk. Other than that, I’m eating like normal - just smaller meals (because of heartburn) and much more frequently (because I get hungry so quickly!)

I’ve had every other pregnancy symptom in the book, but luckily no food problems so far :slight_smile:
