Soda - and I was an at least 2x/day diet coke drinker pre-pregnancy. Same thing last pregnancy, and that lasted the entire time, then as soon as they let me eat real food I wanted a root beer. I am 9 weeks and am developing aversions left and right. Many of them lasted the whole pregnancy last time.

I could not STAND grocery stores at that stage. I had a lot of bland sandwiches and bagels. 2nd tri was much much better. One thing I never did get over, oddly, was an aversion to leftovers.

Thanks. I guess I'm lucky not to be craving weird things, but it is very strange to have all my tastes suddenly upended. To the PP who said salty/meaty things might mean a boy -- I can tolerate meat though I don't crave it, but I just went through 2 cups of tortilla chips. Mmm salt. I usually pick sugar over salt any day but not now. Of course it'll be weeks until I find out if the theory holds true!

I am normally not an, "it's get better" person, but it really does - I just found what I liked and ate it. And that thing was bagels. With or without cream cheese. Carbs and fat - things I've been avoiding for so, so long! Definitely find what you like and go with it. This part will be over before you know it!

totally normal. my aversions with my first 2 started later too, around 9 weeks and then lasted until almost 16 weeks. bluck. you've got plenty of time later on to eat super-healthy. just get through this however you can. maybe your sweet aversions mean you're having a boy? who knows.....with my son i craved salty, meaty food. and with my girl i wanted sugar in my tea which i don't even do, and all sorts of sweet things. good luck, OP! those first months can be grueling.

It does get better. In my first tri, I couldn't eat any vegetables, no meat, no chocolate--so many food aversions. The smell of toasting bread made me sick. I lived on milkshakes and fruit and, if I was feeling really good, grilled cheese (I had to hide in another room while my husband cooked it).

It will get better. The second trimester is a wonderful thing. Once you hit about 13-14 weeks, you'll wake up one day and feel like your old self. It will actually happen THAT suddenly- just one morning you'll be back to normal. In my first pregnancy, I had the most awful aversions to food, even many of my favorites. I remember watching people eat and thinking, "I will never enjoy food again." But I did! I have slight aversions to things I really love this time around too, but not as bad as last time. Just tough out your first trimester and you'll get your taste for all those foods back.

At nearly 8 weeks I haven't had any cravings, but I'm beginning to have major food aversions -- mainly to foods I love, like greens (seriously, cannot eat anything green) and sweet potatoes. And sugar/chocolate, which is bizarre because I am a total sugar addict in real life. Also, I can't stand to cook anything, though I don't mind eating meat or beans once someone else has cooked them. It isn't the smell -- it's just the thought somehow makes me gag. Is this normal? Does it get better? I can't imagine going 9 months without touching salad or cooked vegetables! My nutrition is going to be completely out of whack. At least I am able to eat fruit, which normally I find so-so and now am really enjoying.
