I hate the smell of everything !

Certain foods I loved to smell and eat I can't bare the sight of... I went to eat Wendy's last night and ran to the bathroom because the salad smelled so gross. Chinese food just smells even worse. I loved pickles but I'm started to hate them now.. what can I do to cope with this ? Do I have to hold my nose every time I eat ?

That used to happen to me . I'd have to hide in my room infront of the fan when my mom cooked lol I couldn't stand food or looking at it .. I lost weight but then it kind of went away after 14 weeks I still had a lot of nausea though and I still do sometimes I'm 39.2 weeks so for some of us it never goes away :( my mom says that is because I'm having a girl and girls make it harder but who knows ! Good luck try some plain food like crackers ginger ale used to help me also sprite helped buecause it burned my throat when I felt nauseous and it'd make it go away . :)

Yes I'm in my first trimester. Only 10 weeks .. I guess I have to be patient ..

Thanks for the tip on ginger ! I was told to buy ginger ale but to drink it at room temperature

Also try sniffing on raw ginger. That helped me alot too. Hopefully you'll feel better when you get into your second trimester

& holding your nose wil do nothing because you'll still end up smelling it or tasting it. Good luck!

Lemon Will Probably help..

And I get what Your saying I had Popeyes and it tasted like grease and nothing else.  My boyfriend is always eating Chinese so when I smell it I just get sick.

That sounds terrible. I've been trying to stay away from fast food since I found out but I decided to try a McDonalds fry and it tasted like grease! But my sister said it tasted fine. So during this time for you, you'll have the task of finding what works with your senses and what doesn't. I sniff on a lemon when I feel queasy in the stomach- maybe that will help.
