I miss cooking :'(

Goodness,  I'm soo very hungry- but I'm sick of fast food!!! I really really try my best to eat well,  balanced meals with the veggies that I really like.  Before my pregnancy I'd cook good meals like chicken spaghetti with salads or some steak with the potatoes and things like that... But since my pregnancy I honestly can't get myself to cook- believe me I've tried and I run outside because the smell literally makes me sick (wierd). This is the first time I experience this and can't stand it,  I can't afford the eating out very often either.  Hubby is starting to make me feel guilty... I prefer home cooked meals over anything but there's no way and I feel like I'll starve if this keeps up. Any suggestions...maybe a mask?!  :'(

I take Zantac twice a day, also I eat small and simple things ie the half size cans of Spaghettios, shell noodles with cheese, the Lunchables that don't have a drink, etc.
For me personally, simpler is better, the fewer ingredients and smaller portions the more likely I can eat without trouble.
I had to stay away from fast food for a while because it transformed into a digestive nightmare in my first trimester. If things get really rough, I go for either mashed potatoes with a bit of turkey gravy or chocolate chip ice cream.

Luckily it passed for you @Tweetie84, :)
I haven't told my doctor about it- I didn't even know there was nausea pills. :/

Oh that's a good one I had not considered. I assure you I will most definitely look into it, I'll need to learn how to use it. Thanks,  this gives me a bit of hope now. :')

I dont get a good meal but munch on veggies and eat fruit. I eat a lot of healthy cereal. I can stomach a pb&j once in awhile. Try different foods and see what works best for you. I also use my crock pot for my family but plug it in, in the garage so the smell doesn't bug me.

I love fruit and yogurts but I really need a good full meal at least once a day- I don't eat too much. Milk gives me heartburn- but I'm good with it too.
