Meat aversion???

Question

I’m 10 weeks tomorrow and I can’t stand meat. Pre-pregnancy, I ate all types of meat. I’m from the Caribbean so meat is always included in dinner. But for the past 2 weeks, I can’t eat it. I don’t care for it at all. Anyone else went through it? How did you get your protein for your baby? Besides beans and nuts?

Answer

Yes I’ve been off meat since 8 weeks and i am now 20 weeks and still cannot stand the smell of it. Eat lots of green Veges, also check in with your doctor to make sure your iron levels aren’t dropping.

Answer

I’m almost 7 weeks and I hate EVERY meat except for the smallest amount of chicken in things (like chicken tikka masala🤤) but just the thought of a giant chicken breast makes me want to puke!! Same for any other meat. It’s so weird that a lot of pregnant women hate meat lol

Answer

I'm 36 weeks and don't like chicken anymore, ever since getting pregnant I can't eat it!.
still love beef and fish so I'm not having the same problem.. there's lots of options! dairy based (milk, yogurt, cheese...) nuts, seeds, beans, eggs...

Answer

Being off meat is pretty common— esp cooking it can trigger nausea. I have my husband cook kielbasa (something I NEVER eat non-pregnant) because it just works for me. Hot dogs are also good for me. But anything else- bleh. Try nuts, beans, quinoa, even cheese sticks are an okay source of protein in the first trimester.

Answer

That's how I was in my first tri. By second tri I was back eating any and everything 😂

Answer

I’m vegan and my iron levels were perfect for my first pregnancy (haven’t had blood work yet for this one).  Beans, nuts and greens are always excellent sources of nutrients, and pumpkin seeds are incredibly high in iron if you’re concerned.  I would honestly advise against an iron supplement unless instructed by your dr though since they tend to cause lots of constipation.

Answer

I eat Greek yogurt with granola, cottage cheese, peanut butter, avocado. I could eat all meats before pregnant, 27 weeks and I can’t stand it still 😬

Answer

Yep I havent been able to eat meat either and I loved it before. I also worry about getting enough protein. I have been able to eat eggs/egg whites for protein. I've also been eating lentils or beans. I can't stomach yogurt right now but that would be a good choice for protein!
