Taste change

[smiley2]

I was wondering if your taste changed at all when you got pregnant?For me it definitely did.....about a month into it.I could not stand the smell of coffee-i still dont drink it,or the smell of toast.Pizza -yum i could have eaten this everyday!I got into coke for awhile .Red meat and any kinds of potatoes tasted awesome.Now I am pretty much back to normal-although celery has been a good snack. It is so weird tho how pregnancy affects your taste like that.

Hi Smiley! Yes, my tastes did change. Especially 1st trimester w/the nausea and all. For the longest time I craved fish sandwiches & guacamole. Not necessarily together, but I did crave them a lot. Also, I could not drink any milk or have dairy products w/o having awful stomach pains. Just last week I began to drink milk again. I was really concerned about this, b/c I want my baby & I to get enough calcium. The bones become stronger and grow the most in 3rd trimester...so we should be okay now.
Now, my diet and cravings are pretty back to normal.

My taste changed drastically when I was pregnant. Also there were a lot of scents that I could no longer tolerate. I have always loved the smell of Jergen's hand lotion but when I became pregnant all of a sudden the scent made me sick as a dog! I couldn't stand the smell of any perfume either when I was pregnant and 7 years later I still can't tolerate any perfume and I still have a hard time with the scents in different lotions and creams. Oh well, just one of many of the strange things that happen to you when you become pregnant. Take care.
