Before becoming pregnant and during the early stages of pregnancy I often heard people talk about foods that they used to LOVE that they no long could stomach the thought of. I didn't get it. How could you all of a sudden just think that a certain food you had always loved was gross?
Well, I officially get it.
Example #1: Chinese food. The thought of Chinese food makes my stomach turn. I have pushed through and eaten it once. While it didn't make me sick, the effort it took to actually eat a meals-worth of food was just not worth it.
Example #2: Strawberries. Perusing the fruits and veggies at the store several weeks ago, I was surprised to find that strawberries totally gross me out. I used to buy them every week whether they were in season or not. Now I steer the cart clear of the display.
Other examples (including foods that literally make me sick): Yogurt, fruit juice, greasy foods, fried foods, eggs, and salad (I think the greens are what make it so unappetizing).
I have become a somewhat picky eater. I'm hoping that it all goes away after pregnancy because I don't like being so high maintenance. :)
