gagging or nausea to smells and food ?

Does anyone else have food aversions ?
I tried to eat a sandwich today but the turkey smells so strong it made me not want it anymore so I threw it away. Later I got hungry and tried to make an egg sandwich it was okay until I took my second bite I almost threw up i havent started throwing up or feeling nauseous yet. I had like a gag attack though lol.
Im hungry but I can't eat anything? But im only five weeks this would be my first symptom is it normal? What should I eat ?

I'm 14 weeks & I'll still gag if I smell chicken cooking, or onions! that happened today actually..

weird thing is, my mama had a strong sickness once.. she was taking the skin off of chicken when she was pregnant & got sick as a dog. she has only bought skinless chicken to this very day..

just crazy how chicken is my food aversion lol you're not alone!! (((:

Your doctor can prescribe you something if it gets too unbearable. Mine was i wasnt eating period. I lost 15 pounds. First gave me zofran it was a disolvable pill. Made me throw up bc of disolving amd the flavor. Today she prescribe phenergen which i had no idea was safe bc of the codeine in it.. im still skeptical.. but im ONLY taking it AS NEEDED for sure bc im so unsure of the codeine
