sudden aversion to meat.

Suddenly i cannot stand eating or smelling meat. It makes me nauseous. Im 14 weeks. Has anyone else experienced this? Does it last the whole pregnancy?

It will pass. With my first I had to send my husband to pick out the chicken because I couldn't stand to walk past beef. The sight or smell made me want to throw up! With my second all I wanted was beef couldn't hardly stand veggies or chicken and this one has thankful not been as bad.

I'm the same way!  The look and smell of meat turns me off now!  Just make sure you are getting protein in your diet some other way!

Yep. Couldn't eat chicken again until about 25 weeks.

It will go away :) all my aversions went away well into the second trimester.

I had the same experience. I started having aversion to meat in my first trimester but it's mostly gone now. I do find that chicken still grosses me out, but anything else seems fine. I'm 19.4 weeks now & am able to eat meat as again

Same story... Used to be so into any kind of protein, loved meat and eggs, and now can't stand to look at a piece of meat... Unless I actually crave for something meaty(which is not often now) but it's gonna have to be in very small pieces or minced...I'm 10 weeks and 4 days.. Don't know if it's gonna go away... It's a shame though.. As I am losing the muscle mass... (Used to be heavy into fitness and building muscles and this is very upsetting now)

It could. A friend of mine was a vegeterian before she got pregnant, then when she got pregnant she craved meat all the time and now 13yrs after her daughters birth she cant quit eating meat. Pregnancy is weird sometimes. Good luck.
