Suddenly everything tastes weird yaar, even my fav chai feels off and i want only khatta stuff. Just got my positive last week so im 5 weeks maybe. Is this a pregnancy thing or just me?
Haha, wait till you reach the 3rd trimester where you want to eat everything but your stomach has space for only two spoons of rice! In my first trimester, even water tasted weird. Enjoy the weird cravings while they last!
I asked my doctor because I couldn't stand the taste of garlic which I usually love. She told me metallic taste or sudden food aversions are caused by pregnancy hormones and are very common. She suggested sour things like lemon water to help clean the palate.
Yaar, don't stress too much about it, it's just a phase. I literally hated the sight of home-cooked food for two months, but things got totally fine later. Just eat whatever feels okay to you right now.
Of course they do, it's completely normal. My favorite tea started smelling like petrol to me in my first trimester. Don't worry, your normal taste will come back after a few months.
My tracker app actually showed a weekly update on this! It said hormone surges like estrogen can cause 'dysgeusia' which alters your taste and smell. It's totally normal and usually gets much better by week 13 or 14.
