Anyone experience food tastes more bland?

Question

36 weeks and this is the first I’ve noticed but I started to freak out because I thought I couldn’t taste my food and was scared maybe I had COVID, but I realized, I can taste it... it just tastes different/ more bland. Anyone ever experience this? Is it a pregnancy thing?

Answer

I have also had this! Iv had a cold too so couldn’t smell either. Iv been getting food cravings but I eat it and can’t taste it. Very annoying. I made a curry and put that much chilli in it as I couldn’t taste it my partner couldn’t eat it. I had to get a Covid test before I could go to any appointments. Thankfully it came back negative so I’m putting it down to a mixture of a cold and pregnancy 🤷‍♀️ my mum said she had the same issue later in her pregnancy when she was pregnant with me though?

Answer

I haven’t had it but my mom did she also had a metal taste all normal she said once you give birth it goes away make sure your first meal is something you enjoy because it’s the best since your taste comes back

Answer

Yes - 37 weeks here and I noticed it a week or two ago. It’s like the normal foods I eat just don’t taste as...strong/good. Bland is probably the best word! And it’s ironic because I feel like my sense of smell is still very sharp.
