I use a mask too and although I still gag at a carrot (or anything fresh), Ive tried to think of other things whilst chopping it. My week (10) has been the same, crying because Im eating poorly, cant prepare healthy meals because the sight of veg makes me gag, just feeling like im starving my baby, feeling helpless because im better off not eating. Weird week.
I tried...it still smells a little and then touching it still makes me wanna yack. Did yours or anyone's go away in the 2nd trimester by any chance?
