To all woman that are or have been pregnant

[sparks19]

I was just curious and thought it would interesting to find out.....

What food TOTALLY turned you off and made you sick to your stomach during your pregnancy?

I cannot STAND chicken. I dont' know what it is. I can't stand the smell of it cooking... I hate the way it tastes... hate the way it looks.... it just totally grosses me out right now lol.

But that is the only thing I can't stand to eat right now and I haven't had any real cravings yet.

What food did you hate?

Haha, I am NOT pregnant nor have I ever been pregnant, but chicken totally disgusts me. Just thought I'd share my detest for chicken and turkey. No one understands why it grosses me out so, but jeez, it's NASTY!!

With Tyler I couldn't stand the smell or taste of anything minty!! I found out that I was pregnant with him while visiting the family in Ohio and on the flight back to Japan my flight attendant reeked of peppermint!!! It was probably just a nice peppermint lotion but at the time I wanted to slug her

Hmm with this baby I think the only food aversion that I have had so far is an aversion to the smell of ketchup. I LOVE the taste of ketchup and drown my french fries or chicken nuggets (sorry!) in it but I can't stand the smell of it if I don't put it away RIGHT after eating!!

HAHA that is funny. I can't say I have any wierd aversions like that yet

Eggs! The smell of eggs, the sight of eggs, made me throw up. I will never forget that. Yuck!

[WELOVESPUPPIES]

ARE YOU KIDDING ...for me it was what did not make me sick. I was sick from the sixth week until 8 months, morning, noon and night. Two things that stayed down were KFC mashed potatos and gravy and slurpies I could not even keep down chicken soup!!

I couldn't stand chicken either (or turkey). That went away about half way through my pregnancy though, now I can eat chicken again. Before getting pregnant chicken was the main thing we ate. We ate fish once or twice a week and then chicken the rest of the week. We never ate beef or pork. Since I was unable to eat chicken we started eating beef and a little pork (only ham though as that's the only pork I can stand). I could eat eggs too, so we often had eggs for supper.

One evening, a few days before I found out I was pregnant, we were headed home from my sister's house and I had a horrible headache. We had over an hour before we would be home and Justin thought eating something might help my headache, so he pulled into Checkers and got me a chicken sandwich. The sandwich was hot and fresh, but totally turned my stomach, I couldn't eat it. It was the oddest thing because I LOVE checkers chicken sandwiches. Two days later I took a pregnancy test it explained the aversion to chicken!

During my first trimester with Emma, I could not eat meat! During the second trimester, I started eating meat again. With Sierra, I didn't hate any foods.

I hated CHICKEN and Potatoes!!!! I loved tomatoes with miracle whip and my son now hates tomatoes (so weird).... I always got really sick from the school food, ( I was in 12th grade when I got pregant) the only thing I could eat at school was hotdogs, salad bar and the pasta bar... I hated seasoned french fries also!!! and puked when I got a Gryo(spelling) at a fair once and that was the only time I threw up being pregnant from what I remember.

I couldn't get enough Arthur Treachers Fish & Chips. I LOVED it!!! Put popcorn or Pillsbury Sticky Buns in front of me and I'd hurl.

[Laura's Babies]

Nothing turned me off but I CRAVED like mad...

With Eddie, I couldn't get enough strawberries or greens, (turnip, mustard, collards).. I ate them all the time!

With the twins I craved oranges, couldn't get enough of them. OH, and I could not go get groceries, every time I tried, I'd get half way through and get sick and have to throw up. Euck!

With the last one, I craved the smell of MINT! They had this cleaning stuff (like pine sol) that I used on everything all day just for the smell of it....

Ground beef--especially hamburgers. Thankfully, I seem to be past that point and actually ate a hamburger this week. The smell of English peas still gets to me. (I never have liked the taste of them anyway.)

Oh I hated being pregnant my once slim trim body is not so nice anymore. Pregnany just ruined it for good. My once nice flat stomach, gone, perky you know whats, not any more. I think babies should be grown in test tubes and you should have to pass a test to order one. My friends all feel the same.
However one very interesting thing about cravings is that what ever I craved was what that child loved later on in life. With my first it was strawberry icecream and oranges, Mike loves that. With Ian it was Oodles of Noodles, it's his favorite food now, with Alicia it was candy and hamburgers with extra mayo, pickles and onions and that is how she loves hers.

With my son, I drove by KFC every day to get to work. I almost puked in the car every time. It was all I could do to get by there and it was the only way to work. All from the smell of the place. After that passed, I craved homemade southern creamed corn off the cob and fresh sliced tomatoes. I would travel to the ends of the earth to find a produce stand that had corn and tomatoes. Today, my son hates both

With my daughter, I had to make biscuits, sausage, gravy, and eggs every morning for my husband before work. At 5 a.m. I was completely nauseous and almost unable to make it through the process. After it was on the table I had to get outside and get some air. After that passed, I craved jello of all flavors. I had to have it every day.

Sadly, absolutely nothing bothered me when I was pregnant ... except the foods I normally hate anyway, olives and onions. Bleck!!

And the only thing I craved was potato chips with salsa.
