Weird Eating habits
People say that pregnant women are supposed to have cravings right? Todate, I have NONE. None at all, in fact, on the contary, I have lost interest in food.
Before the pregnancy, I am known to be the greedy pig. I eat EVERYTHING and I live to eat. Meal times are usually happy times. I enjoy cooking at home, trying new recipes or go around Singapore, hunting for good food.
That has changed.
I eat for the sake of eating, to provide some form of nourishment for myself and Beanie. I barely eat 40% of the portion that I used to. I cannot stand strong smelling food that I used to LOVE, like: garlic, corriander, black vinegar... etc. I cannot stand the smell and taste of fish and even chicken, pork and beef taste yucky.
I can only stomach bland food like brown rice, green vegatables and lightly flavoured items.
Whenever I see dishes in rich, brown sauces, I wana puke.
When I walk past food courts, I wana puke.
When I see or smell raw pieces of meat, I wana puke.
When I drink water early in the morning, I puke like crazy.
I have no interest in cooking anymore, and every smell seems offensive to me. Even my very own perfume and shower form seem overwhelmingly strong.
O geez, I'm going crazy.

Maybe the cravings will come later. My friends and I were discussing about this recently.
Your body is doing you a favour cos by avoiding all the 'bad' stuff, your newborn will have better skin and less allergies and ailments. This is our theory lah.
Imagine if you keep eating junk food during your pregnancy, the poor diet will affect the baby's well being, don't you think?
It's ok. Then you won't have to lose too much weight after giving birth. Postpartum weight loss is NOT EASY. I'm still carrying my extra kilos around.
My friend couldn't bathe with soap for months. She puked at the smell of soap.
Fortunately, it's only for a little while. It'll be over soon.
I totally understand what you mean here. Food smell, BO, perfume really sets me off.. Your blog has been most comforting and helpful for me.. :)
