Wacky Pregnancy Hormones

My pregnancy hormones have caused turmoil to my body and my tastebuds. Food that I once loved now make me nauseous at the sight of them. I used to love fish but now, I just can’t stand the sight of fish, especially steam fish but funny, I love stinky fish crackers though. I also used to love vegetables and fruits but now, I can’t stand the taste of most of them. During meal times, I try to place these dishes as far as possible from my sight.

Do you know what I crave for now? Holy shit, I crave for junk food, especially fish crackers, Cheezels, pretzels, cheese crackers and all sorts of crackers. I try to refrain buying these junkies coz I know what harm they will cause to my unborn, but I just can’t resist salty cheesy snacks and keropok. I totally can’t stand sweet stuff, all kinds – ice cream, cakes, cookies, kuih, pastries, etc.


My supply of cheese crackers and cheese pretzels. They seem to alleviate my nauseous feelings.

  2. haha. who would have thought healthfreakmommy would in a million years actually eat junk food? nevermind. blame the hormones.
    i was like that too, fish and vege makes me sick. especially when i keep thinkin i must eat lots of it. like a torture like that.
    considerable amount of cheesy junk is fine. you’re totally normal. ::wink::

  3. Anggie… i am damn scared of putting on weight ya know… and I still weigh myself every morning. I’m hoping to put on not more than 8kg this time.With both my earlier pregnancies, I gained less than 10kg.

    Shern’s mom…you hated fish & vege too? Yup, the thought that I must keep eating them is a real torture, esp when u already feel so nauseous at the sight of them, haha!

  4. Eat watever u like at the moment. The more u resist, the worse u feel. This phase will go away soon. Hopefully by 2nd trimester, u’d be eating normal again.
