I cant stand the smell of half the things i used to love, even dal ki smell makes me feel like throwing up. Im 10 weeks and worried im not eating enough variety because of this. Any way to manage these aversions a bit?
Avoid them? Is that even possible? I literally survived on plain bread and water for weeks in my first trimester. Just eat anything that doesn't make you wanna throw up, no matter how weird it is. And honestly, it will pass. One day you'll wake up and suddenly like food again! Until then, good luck!
Oh, I've heard about food aversions during pregnancy, it sounds a little challenging. I'm just trying to conceive right now, but I guess it's good to know what to expect. Maybe eating small, frequent meals or trying bland foods could help? I hope you find something that works for you.
Arey beti, it's very hard to avoid food aversions, they just come! My mother used to say just eat whatever your body feels like having, even if it's simple dal chawal or just roti. Don't force yourself to eat things you don't like, it will only make you feel worse. Listen to your body, that's important.
Ha! Avoid food aversions? Tell me your secret if you find one, because I'm 3rd trimester and still struggling! Some days even the smell of my husband's favourite food makes me gag. Just eat whatever you can keep down, seriously. Survival mode is on!
Yaar, you can't really 'avoid' them, they just happen, na? Don't stress too much about it. Just try to eat whatever you can tolerate, even if it's super simple. Small, frequent meals often help, and maybe identify what triggers your aversions and steer clear of those foods for a while. It's temporary!
It's completely normal to struggle with food aversions, and it can be really frustrating, I know. I used to get so anxious thinking I wasn't eating enough! The best thing is to not force yourself. Try different textures and temperatures, maybe cold foods are easier. And talk to your gynac if you're worried about nutrition.
