I'm 27 weeks pregnant and since 5 weeks I've struggled immensely in terms of taste, smell, general food aversions and nausea/sickness. Haven't been eating meat or anything strongly flavoured e.g. things with garlic/onion, herbs and spices etc because I cannot physically chew and swallow it. As soon as it's on my tongue I feel I'm going to throw up because it tastes so terrible like rotten garbage. I've been living off of bland items but it's gotten to the point where even those are making me feel nauseous. I can't even force myself to eat food cause I'll feel awful after and spew. It's having an effect on both my mental and physical health, I'm constantly exhausted and feel weak because I'm not eating right and so worried about my growing baby because I'm not getting the nutrients I need. I have two friends who are pregnant and they've had nausea and vomiting but not the severe taste issues. I don't think my midwife and others realise how much I'm struggling like I genuinely cannot eat any normal food because it tastes and smells so rotten making me sick. I'm so worried I end up being hospitalised or something. Has anyone else had a similar experience and what was the outcome? Please please please comment I'm so desperate :(
