is it weird, that i can't stand the smell of meat.

Ever since I've been pregnant I've hated meat, the smell of it is literally making me sick. and it got so bad that i just stopped eating meat all together and last time i went to doctor the said i was boarding  anemic because of the lack of iron in my blood, (most likely from not eating meat). i just wanted to know because i'm well into my 2nd trimester and i still can't even stomach the smell is it normal?

I can't stand the smell of meat, chicken, beef,fish, turkey I swear my bby is a vegetarian! I find that it's easier to eat chicken if I didn't cook it I can eat it at my moms and be ok but if I cook it there's no way I can eat it

Your going to need the iron.
Take a slow release iron pill, but make sure you don't take to much. Check for the right dosage.
(I am anemic )

And if all possible. Have someone else prepare the meat while your in another room.

I can't stand the smell of meat either, beef and pork, the smell of grease sickens me.

BUT it seems roasted chicken breast works best. It is not as strong of a smell. And you can throw it in a salad - to throw your senses off ( basically that is what I have to do )

I was like that at the first of my pregnancy except mine was mainly hamburger meat. Even the thought of it made me sick
