Food Aversion in Pregnancy: Causes, Common Aversions, and Coping

Medically reviewed by Debra Sullivan, Ph.D., MSN, R.N., CNE, COI — By Lisa C. Baker on December 18, 2018

What is a food aversion?

Sending your partner out on a midnight ice cream run? Grabbing a jar of pickles for breakfast? Food cravings are so expected during pregnancy, they’re a familiar cliché.

But what about food aversions? If you were expecting to want to eat everything in sight while pregnant, then your sudden hatred of what used to be your favorite snack might take you by surprise.

Here’s why you can’t eat some things you used to love and how you can cope with food aversions during pregnancy.

What causes food aversions during pregnancy?

Food aversions, like cravings, are possibly caused by the hormonal changes of pregnancy. The amount of human chorionic gonadotropin (hCG), the hormone that triggered your positive pregnancy test, doubles every few days during your first trimester.

HCG levels peak and level off at around week 11 of pregnancy. Up to that point, the rapidly rising levels may be behind symptoms such as nausea, cravings, and food aversions. However, your hormones will continue to affect your appetite throughout pregnancy.

Your food aversions could also be associated with your morning sickness. This could be because both are caused by hCG. However, it could also be because you associate morning sickness with the foods you’re eating at the time.

According to the Mayo Clinic, nausea and food aversions can both be early symptoms of pregnancy, which continue into the first trimester. These early symptoms sometimes even last throughout pregnancy.

What the research says

A literature review published in Frontiers in Psychology suggests that nausea and food aversions may be related when they occur during pregnancy. The study’s authors emphasized that this conclusion is largely based on dated studies, and more research is needed.

A review of literature in the Journal of Food and Nutrition Research asserted a relationship between food aversions and both nausea and vomiting during pregnancy.

The researchers suggested that this relationship may be caused by a bodily mechanism that protects against potentially harmful elements in certain foods. The relationship may also be the result of complex cultural and psychological reasons.

When are food aversions most likely to occur?

You’re most likely to experience food aversions during the first trimester. However, you can experience food aversions at any point during pregnancy. New aversions can also develop at any time during your pregnancy.

Most of the time, food aversions will disappear after your baby arrives. It’s also possible for aversions to continue indefinitely.

What are common food aversions during pregnancy?

During pregnancy, you can experience an aversion or a craving for any food. It’s even possible to have an aversion toward a specific food at one point during your pregnancy and to crave the same food later. However, the most common aversions are toward foods with strong smells.

Common pregnancy aversions include:

meat
eggs
milk
onions
garlic
tea and coffee
spicy foods

Some pregnant women also crave the foods listed above. Which foods you hate — or crave — during pregnancy aren’t necessarily related to your pre-pregnancy diet.

As pregnancy is wreaking havoc on your hormones, it’s common to want to eat something you used to dislike and to hate foods you used to love.

How can you cope with food aversions during pregnancy?

In most cases, it’s healthy to listen to your body during pregnancy. This means that it’s fine to avoid your aversions and eat the foods you crave — in moderation. Try not to overdo it.

A study in the journal Appetite found that giving in to cravings in a big way during pregnancy is associated with excessive weight gain.

If your aversions include foods that are important during pregnancy, make sure you’re getting those nutrients in other ways. For example, if you have an aversion to meat, eat plenty of other high-protein foods such as nuts and beans.

You can also get around aversions by “hiding” the food that you don’t want in other foods. For example, if salads make you feel sick, try putting your leafy greens in a fruit smoothie. There you won’t notice the taste or texture.

What is the takeaway?

Both food aversions and cravings are normal during pregnancy, so you usually don’t need to be concerned. However, if you’re unable to eat most foods, it could affect your baby’s growth. If this is the case, discuss weight gain with your doctor.

During pregnancy, food aversions are sometimes accompanied by cravings for ice or other nonfoods.

It’s possible for pregnant women to crave harmful things that aren’t food, such as dirt or chalk. This condition, called pica, can be a sign of an underlying medical problem. If you experience this, call your doctor.

Q&A: Nausea and morning sickness

Q:

What are some remedies for nausea and morning sickness during pregnancy?

Anonymous patient

A:

Morning sickness is common during pregnancy but it usually resolves after the first trimester. There is no cure for morning sickness but there are recommendations that could make morning sickness tolerable. Try to set your alarm a little early in the morning so that you can give yourself plenty of time to wake up and move slowly getting out of bed. Place some saltine crackers on your nightstand so that you can eat them upon sitting up in bed. During the day eat small meals and avoid any spicy or greasy food. There are some products you can buy to help, for example Preggie Pop Drops, which are drug free; Sea-Bands, which use acupressure pulse points to help you fight nausea; and candy drops that contain ginger and lemon to sooth the stomach.

Key facts

Appetite changes are very common during pregnancy and may affect weight changes.
A food aversion is an intense dislike of a specific food, together with unpleasant physical symptoms when you see or smell a particular food.
Eating for 2 during pregnancy is a myth. It is the quality not quantity of food that matters.
When you are pregnant, your body needs certain vitamins, minerals and nutrients, including iron, folate and iodine.
If your nausea prevents you from getting enough nutrition, or if you are vomiting, not able to keep food or fluids down or losing weight, see your doctor or maternal health nurse.

What are food aversions, and why does appetite change during pregnancy?

A food aversion is an intense dislike of a specific food, together with unpleasant physical symptoms when you see or smell a particular food. These reactions are usually triggered by emotions associated with food rather than the food itself. You might also experience food cravings (an intense urge to eat a specific food). While these appetite changes are quite common, they can make healthy eating during pregnancy a challenge.

Is it normal for my appetite to change during pregnancy?

It is normal to experience either a loss of appetite or a change in food preferences during pregnancy. This may play a part in how much your weight changes during pregnancy.

Food aversions are common, and around 6 in 10 people experience a food aversion while pregnant.

When are food aversions likely to start and end?

You can experience food aversions resulting from generalised nausea (also known as 'morning sickness') at any time of day, and it tends to peak between week 6 and week 14 of pregnancy.

For this reason, if you've gone off certain foods that are important for your diet, you can try again later in your pregnancy to see if the aversion has passed. If your nausea prevents you from getting enough nutrition, or you are vomiting, not able to keep food or fluids down or losing weight, it's time to see your doctor.

What food aversions are common?

Common food aversions include:

alcohol
coffee / tea
meat
fatty food
spicy food
eggs

What causes food aversions?

While the cause of food aversions during pregnancy isn't clear, hormonal changes could affect the food you enjoy, particularly early in your pregnancy. For example, human gonadotropin (also known as hCG) is a hormone produced during pregnancy. It can cause feelings of nausea, appetite changes and food aversion. Pregnancy can also cause a greater sensitivity to smell and taste, which can influence the foods you prefer to eat.

More research is needed to better understand why food cravings and aversions occur. Some reasons may include hormonal balance or protecting the unborn baby from harmful substances and/or nutritional deficiencies. This is to encourage good nutrition and growth in the pregnancy.

How can I eat well and have a healthy diet?

A healthy diet is important for both you and your baby. Eating for 2 during pregnancy is a myth. It is the quality not quantity of food that matters, and there is no need to eat twice as much. It is the quality not the quantity of food that matters most. Your diet should include a variety of the five food groups:

vegetables and legumes
breads and cereals
milk, yoghurt and cheese
meat, poultry, fish and alternatives
fruit

During pregnancy, your body also needs plenty of water (8 to 10 glasses each day). You will also need extra vitamins, minerals, and nutrients to help your baby develop, including these:

Folate (Folic acid) helps build your baby’s brain cells and prevents risk of the baby being born with a birth defect of the brain and/or spinal cord. This is especially important in the early stages of pregnancy. Folate-rich foods include green leafy vegetables, broccoli, legumes, oranges, avocado, or fortified breads and cereals.

Iodine is also important for your baby’s growth and development. Choose foods that are sources of iodine, such as low-fat milk products, eggs, cooked fish and seafood. Foods that contain seaweed, such as sushi, are also a good source of iodine, but if you’re pregnant only eat sushi without raw fish, cold meat or egg, and that is freshly prepared. If you add salt to your food or in cooking, choose iodised salt. If you have a thyroid condition, seek advice from your doctor before taking an iodine supplement.

Iron-rich foods are recommended during pregnancy. These include red meat, poultry, tofu, and iron-fortified cereals. Eating foods high in vitamin C such as oranges, kiwi fruit, capsicum and broccoli can help iron absorption. Do not take an iron supplement during pregnancy without first checking with your doctor. Too much iron can pose health risks to you and your baby. A blood test will help your doctor know if you need to take iron tablets.

If you develop an aversion to meat or another essential food, consider how you might substitute these for alternatives. For example, substitute meat for nuts.

It is also important to limit foods containing:

saturated fats (biscuits, cakes, pies, butter and cream)
added salt (processed meats, pickled fish, fast foods)
added sugars (confectionary, sugar sweetened soft drinks, fruit juice and cordial)

Alcohol is not safe for developing babies, and not drinking alcohol is the safest option while you’re pregnant.

There are also certain foods you should avoid during pregnancy, so ask your doctor or maternal health nurse for more information.

Appetite changes during pregnancy are unlikely to harm you or your baby or significantly compromise your nutrition. If you are not sure which foods are most important for your diet, or you have no appetite for foods containing important nutrients, seek advice.

why your favorite foods disgust you - HealthInfo

You've heard about the crazy food cravings that women experience during pregnancy. Legendary midnight trips for pickles and ice cream. Sudden, overwhelming desire to eat watermelon or chips. You may even have experienced these feelings yourself.
But this appetite also has a downside that fewer people know about. Once you've been diagnosed with pregnancy, you can stop craving your morning latte that you used to drink every day. You might not even be able to walk past the local coffee shop because now you can't stand the smell of coffee.
About half of all mothers-to-be end up with one or more food aversions. Suddenly they can't digest certain foods, even the ones they used to love.
“People have all sorts of aversions. They are all different,” says Jennifer Wu, MD, an obstetrician and gynecologist at Lenox Hill Hospital in New York. The cup of coffee tends to top the list of food aversions. Other foods you no longer need are meat, eggs, spices, or fat.
If you have an aversion to food, then there is a chance that you have morning sickness, morning sickness and vomiting, which poison the mornings, afternoons, evenings and nights of pregnant women. Food aversions and morning sickness tend to often start during the first trimester of pregnancy, one week apart.

While food aversions and cravings for certain foods are at their peak during the first half of pregnancy, in general they can last nine years or more. Also, these sensations may go away and then come back. This remains one of the many mysteries of pregnancy.
"No one knows exactly where food aversions come from," says Anjali Kaimal, MD, a perinatal pathologist at the Massachusetts Hospital in Boston, USA. But like so many things during pregnancy, the story probably starts with hormones. “We believe that beta-hCG (human chorionic gonadotropin) is the culprit for this condition,” Kaimal says.
During pregnancy, this hormone performs many functions. Its concentration peaks during the first trimester of pregnancy. “Gonadotropin peaks around the 11th week of pregnancy and then starts to decline,” Kaimal says. This coincides with the period of time when women experience those same nausea and vomiting. "It looks like it's related."
Other hormones may be responsible for changes in smell and taste in many pregnant women.

“Women have an increased sense of smell and taste during pregnancy, and anything with a strong smell can make them feel disgusted,” says Dr. Wu. But this is not a hard and fast rule. “For example, many people have an aversion to chicken even though it doesn’t smell as strong,” Wu says.
Hormonal changes also cause increased salivation, which can lead to a metallic taste in the mouth in some pregnant women. "You can't get rid of that taste in your mouth," Kaimal says. "While it has nothing to do with aversions, people don't want to eat at all."
For many experts, hormones are the beginning and end of all food aversion stories. Basically, they believe, the reluctance to eat certain foods is a side effect of hormonal changes. However, other researchers believe that food aversion, as well as nausea and vomiting, serve the purpose of discouraging women from foods that could harm the mother or baby. “You can imagine that being able to easily identify what has started to go bad can be useful,” notes Dr. Kaimal.
Statistics support this theory: women who have morning sickness tend to have fewer miscarriages, stillbirths, and premature babies.

Timing also makes sense. The first three months of pregnancy, when pregnant women are prone to food aversions, is the time when the baby is at its most vulnerable stage of growth. Food aversion is rarely harmful to the mother or baby, even if you sometimes avoid foods that are good for you.
"The key is to make sure food aversions don't cause women to avoid certain nutrients or aspects of their diet that they need," says Kaimal. “You have to respect aversions and look at the overall diet. It's hard to say, "I'm sorry you don't like this food, but you still need it."
If a woman is not getting enough nutrients, such as those found in fish and seafood (another common pregnancy food aversion), or the iron found in red meat, iron supplements and fish oil supplements may help.
"I tell [women] to listen to their bodies," says Dr. Wu. “Our main goal is to try to provide them with calories. Eating a lot of plain bread is not the ideal solution, but we also need to get enough calories. ”

This causes a lot of trouble for the new mother, who often simply does not know how to deal with a child who constantly spits up and spits out what she just ate. Gastroesophageal reflux causes a lot of inconvenience to the child, makes him moody and irritable. About two-thirds of babies under 3 months of age do this at least once a day. And in three-quarters of children in the first half of the year, this syndrome is a universal clinical manifestation of trouble in the upper gastrointestinal tract. Spitting up…

Complain I made buckwheat porridge on this mixture. She ate poorly and was naughty. I changed the mixture to nan optipro, I ate the mixture yesterday and did not stand out. Today again yelling at the bottle, although this is a new mixture. I also didn’t eat buckwheat porridge on a new mixture. I made her milk porridge, buckwheat baby, without a mixture. Again, disgust for porridge, even of a different taste. Then she began to give her mashed potatoes, which she likes. She threw a fit at him too. The child has some kind of aversion to food, although I try and specifically change it to suit her tastes. I do not know what to do. Almost every bowl of hysteria porridge, both buckwheat and oatmeal. Ela hines with pumpkin is more or less normal…

I'm all about food. More precisely about daughter's appetite. Today we ate 1 plate of porridge, a jar of mashed salmon vegetables, cottage cheese theme, half a pack of fruit puree. It's very little, isn't it? 😭. I read that every day a child should consume 1500 kl. And we have only 350 approximately. I'm already counting calories. I offered her a casserole and borscht. But she roars and knocks the spoon out of her hands. I do not know what to do. Fall behind? Period? Teeth? I will soon make her disgusted with food, because I constantly force / offer. Soup does not eat, but reaches for bread and sharpens it. What's this? I cook delicious food, by the way. Not fresh began to offer her. I do not understand anything. I've been crying all day because of this. Survived ... Roaring because the child is not ... 0 21108

“Maybe stop experimenting, give the baby normally salted food. Properly salted food stimulates appetite, and undersalting can provoke dehydration of the body and aversion to food. Children are given normally salted and sweetened food. And stop reading all sorts of Mus and Dus. There is a grandmother who can tell a lot, who has been taking care of children herself since the age of 20. Komarovsky then went under the table. And nothing? what kind of peanuts were you. All three."

you’ll cook it not too late, you’ll go out with your daughters, you’ll clean it up, then and there ... But by the evening I’m like a felt boot, I have no strength, slight nausea begins, I can’t raise my legs, I’m in a state of direct instability ... Well, in general, like a ruin, although nothing does not hurt... 2. Sometimes I get scared because the children will have a difference of 2.5, that my daughter is still small, how to keep up with everything, especially since my daughter slept very badly for a very long time, especially during the day, and we had lactase and allergies until now now, he gets sick often, a bunch of tests have been passed lately ... It’s frightening that how much strength you need to have, it’s clear that this is the joy of the baby and all the difficulties are temporary, but damn it’s scary that you didn’t cope ...

Girls, I'm going crazy! The child does not eat anything, except for porridge (fortunately, while it is bursting), cottage cheese and some fruit. Everything else: vegetables (in any form), pasta, rice, potatoes, meat, fish refuses everything! Those. We have porridge for breakfast in the morning. I have not given him cookies and other sweets for a long time. Dinner time comes - do not eat. Then he drinks milk before going to bed, in the afternoon he will eat cottage cheese, berries. Dinner is not eaten again. If I offer porridge, he eats it. He even stopped eating his favorite dish (fish and rice). What? We have always been not big eaters. But somehow sometimes it was possible to agree with him, but now it’s just a disaster. Even if I persuade him to eat a spoonful, he is still everything ...

And of course porridge, soup, casserole, cutlet. Well, everything is according to the list of exemplary mothers ... And under cartoons, dancing, swearing ... There are crazy people like me who starve a child ... and feed when he wants ... at least in the evening only ... At least one apple for breakfast? I probably still have a psychological trauma from childhood when they stuffed porridge and borscht into me ... So I still don’t eat them ... Well, I didn’t die ... Therefore, I don’t want to cause disgust for food in a child ... If he wants . .. he comes and snatches it from me and cutlet and potatoes ... and soup can eat a plate ... But if he doesn’t want to eat ... let him take fruit and eat ... they are always freely available with us, as well as seasonal vegetables)))

I'm new here! Well, here's the first post. Hi all! I am extremely happy, although I am still in some kind of shock, I can’t believe that I will become a mother. All the initial stages have been passed: the registration has risen, all tests have passed. Finally the first ultrasound! Thank God everything is fine, I'm extremely happy! The baby is 12 weeks +3, the most important thing they told me is that everything is in order, the baby is developing as expected, all sizes correspond to the deadline, the heart is in order and this is enough! No whims, no toxicosis (only an aversion to food, especially meat), nothing interesting at all. The belly is just growing! I wish you all a happy pregnancy)

Hello everyone, this post will be long. I have never been thin, and for as long as I can remember, I have always wanted to lose weight. I wanted to, but I didn’t do anything for this ... at the age of 18 I weighed 82 kg, I started to lose weight and lost weight to 75. The weight of 72-75 kept for many years (5-6 years) and I was still in weight loss mode .
