Did you know it took me 30 minutes to eat my cereal this morning? Ridiculous. But every time I put a bit in my mouth, I'd have to force myself to chew and swallow. That's how unappealing it has become in the course of a day.
I cannot possibly think about any type of food without feeling completely sick to my stomach, and I have to hold back the nausea because I really could up-chuck if I let myself.
The worst offender right now? Raw meat. Just looking at this picture makes me want to throw up:
Hopefully it didn't make you want to toss your cookies either...
Actually, I lied when I types that ALL food is making be completely sick to my stomach. There is one particular thing that actually sounds appealing at the moment: butter chicken with rice, cooked by someone else other than myself thank-you-very-much.
Image source. Mmmmm, butter chicken!
But, it's 9:41 am at the moment, and I don't think butter chicken is the best choice for second breakfast. (Another great thing about the first trimester - second breakfast, just like a Hobbit!)
Even though the nausea and the food aversion thang is quite annoying, I am so very very happy to be experiencing these symptoms. To me it means our little baby-boo is growing. And that's a very good thing. (5 weeks and 2 days today! To some that might seem like nothing, but that's one-eigth of the way there. WOOOOO!)
So, what about you other 1st TM ladies out there? Any food aversions? Any food you just *gotta* have?
Mine just started a couple days ago. My oatmeal made me want to gag. And last night nothing looked appetizing to me. I just woke up and I feel pretty icky already. So not fun.
