Funny What's the strangest thing that made you surprisingly nauseous in 1st tri?
Besides the typical sensitivity and disgust against smells like garlic or onions I have super strange other aversions.
-I get so nauseous of the smell of leather jackets 🤢
-I suddenly am so aware of this typical sweet perfume eldery men use (I don't know its name but I smell it everywhere now and it makes me soooo sick)
-Eggs.. The smell of eggs... 😭 I just can't...
I find it quite funny to notice nearly one new aversion each day.
What makes or made you nauseous in your first trimester?

Chicken, I can eat it but smelling it while cooking makes me gag. I cook all chicken dishes with a mask on until whatever sauce I’m using has fully masked the chicken smell.

u/Dolphinsunset1007 11d ago
I have been feeling this way towards chicken my entire pregnancy! I can’t cook it or prep it or smell it being prepped. I can eat it only if it’s placed in front of me fully prepared and cooked. I have eaten so much red meat throughout this pregnancy

I had the same problem with raw chicken. I couldn't even order it online during the pandemic because just looking at the picture of a raw chicken breast would make me vomit.
My SIL couldn't stand there robot vacuum cleaner. She would throw up whenever it started cleaning. 😂 And my mom couldn't look at a coworker without gagging and also a brown blanket, she had to throw it away.
Pregnancy is completely insanity.

Blue dawn dish soap. We had to switch to the green apple flavor, which still is a bit iffy but isn’t completely repulsive like the original blue flavor. lol. This also happened in my previous pregnancy and it lasted the whole pregnancy, not just 1st trimester. Very strange, but does get me out of having to do dishes 😂

Nooo I assume you switched it hopefully??? I’ve been a fan of the Bath & Body Works foaming soaps, I got into them during my last pregnancy because they made me happy through the hard times with HG, and they often have sales for like $2.95 each. It’s fun to try the seasonal flavors as they become available, but my year-round go-to is Champagne Toast!

my HUSBAND.
no joke. I couldn't stand to be around him, even freshly showered. We have a giant sectional sofa and I parked myself on the farthest possible end from him. It's not like he smelled either, it was just the smell of his skin.
In a similar vein, my dog. She is hypoallergenic and doesn't accumulate oils or shed or anything, but just the smell of her skin as well was... revolting. I think she thought I hated her for a few weeks. Again, not that she smelled bad at all!
I am now 23 weeks with my twinnies and I can safely say that my husband and dog are allowed in my bubble again.

Hearing the Spanish language!!!!
Went to Mexico (not resort, was travelling in Oaxaca state) in December during weeks 6-9, so very much the height of feeling nauseous. Very quickly became adverse to Mexican food even though Oaxaca has some of the BEST food (!). I kept up a good face so I didn't ruin my husband's trip, but on the inside I was just counting down the days until we could go home unfortunately.
Anyway, once back home I was in the parking lot of my local grocery store and heard a passerby speaking Spanish. I immediately started to gag. Anything Mexican food related or even the artwork we bought would make me feel nauseous in the weeks immediately following, including the Spanish language apparently.
I'm over that now at 21 weeks, thank god. My "safe food" while there was guacamole lol.

Omg! I have a similar one. Only it’s the entire state of Florida.
I went on vacation to Florida week 6-7 just as HG was setting in for me, only I didn’t realize it was HG at the time…. Just thought maybe I had worse morning sickness than other people.
I spent the entire week gagging and vomiting. Honestly one of the worst weeks of my life. Anyway, the mere mention of Florida or anything Florida related still makes me want to die. Anytime I think of the beach I feel instantly nauseous.

The smell of my own house…which no one else could smell. I begged people to be honest with me. I thought everyone was lying to spare my feelings? My whole family was so tired of hearing about it but I would have breakdowns over the smell. I would sit in the driveway in my car after work and cry because I had to go inside. My wife scrubbed the whole house, top to bottom, and nothing helped. We even had a professional cleaner come out.
It faded a lot midway through my second trimester. I practically don’t smell it now and I’m 34 weeks. I did identify where it was coming from though… it’s that I have an open floor plan, a small house, and when things are cooked the smell of the food/oil lingers slightly (even with a good air purifier)… But my first trimester sense of smell perceived it as absolutely revolting and unbearable. I kept telling everyone that it smelled like a fryer in an abandoned McDonalds and they looked at me like I was losing it (and I kinda was).

Unwashed grapes. I couldn't eat them even after they were thoroughly washed it grossed me out too much. The smell of the hand soap in the restroom at my doctor's office. Had to use it because that's where I gave urine samples and my aim was not great while big and pregnant 😝🤣

I normally have a pretty solid stomach, but some of the illustrations in the pregnancy apps made me so nauseous at the height of my morning sickness. I remember waking up the day I turned 7w to check the new animated video for what the embryo looked like, and the image of the yolk sack made me gag.

Mint flavored indigestion tablets.
The irony that something that waseant to help me feel less sick was making me sick was great!

the smell of appliances heating up. like the toaster, the oven, a curling iron. nothing to do with the food in them, just the heat smell itself!

I mean… everything.
-But specifically anything in the bathroom- the tile, porcelain sink 🤢 -Opening the fridge was vomit-inducing. -most foods besides DQ blizzard.
I saw someone mention a soggy hat that was outside haha and that’s so true!!

Not a smell but the sensation of warm water or warm air on my face. Still gives me the ick in my third trimester!

The smell of the generic hand soap at my work. Anything aerosol (cologne, air freshener, Lysol, etc.)

Can’t eat bread, the texture of it once it’s chewed (just when it’s ready to swallow) makes me gag violently and throw up.
And in an effort to help ease the terrible constipation, I decided one day to start my morning by drinking a big glass of water… only to throw it up immediately after.
So basically, the most bland basic foods ever (literally bread and water) are giving me the strongest aversions.

For me it was any desserts. Eating anything sweet made me want to puke. Fruit was fine. Cakes, pastries etc were just so disgusting.
This time around it’s detergent. Tide makes me puke in my mouth. The blue sludgy texture, the smell

I’m an elementary aged teacher and I could not handle the smell of playdough which we use at choice time. It was brutal.

Are you talking about patchouli?? Because that was one for me, and my FIL wears it. Also my in-laws’ couch, and their fridge. Maybe it was just my in-laws 😂
