Just curious why i cannot eat this?

Question

Hi. Im 17 weeks pregnant and I noticed that I cannot eat cheese. Before i was pregnant I loved extra cheese. Now.. I cant even think of the word "cheese", or pizza, cheese steaks, grilled cheese, ect.... or just anything with cheese. when i see it i just turn my head and grossed out and the feeling to vomit. Why do you think that is? It sucks b/c i loved it. Thanks for the answers.

Answer 1

It's just an aversion. Your body creates them for little to no reason. During my second pregnancy I could not eat potato products for the second half of my pregnancy. Some people think it's a way for your body to tell you to back off.

I feel so bad for you, I would cry without cheese. Give it a few weeks,then think cheese again. :)

Answer 2

Well, when you're pregnant there are lots of changes in your body and your hormones are going crazy so you crave different foods and don't like some foods that you normally enjoy. I know I can't really stand the thought of eating salad since I've been pregnant and I used to LOVE to eat salad. And ice cream and chocolate don't agree with me either now. But I've been loving potatoes, eggs, and I can't get enough cheese. Also was craving grapefruit for awhile. Crazy things happen when you're pregnant! Congratulations!

Answer 3

I lot of your favorite foods you might not be able to stomach any more it's just that the baby doesn't like it. You'll find that there is stuff that you don't even like and you'll crave it's just part of being pregnant. In about 27 to 30 weeks you should be able to eat your beloved cheese again or even maybe sooner it just depends on your baby. I hope this helped.

That's weird,my sister is 12 weeks pregnant and she cannot eat cheese either and she loved cheese before also.She said when she eats cheese now it still taste good but it makes her want to puke.I guess your baby doesn't like it,everybody is different with what they can and cannot eat while their pregnant, it's all up to the baby.

Answer 5

I really don't have any medical explanations but speaking from experience. When I was pregnant couldn't stand pickles but before loved them, also before pregnant could stand ranch & hot wings, but while pregnant loved it and still do. Somehow I think your taste buds become intensified and therefore changes you likes and dislikes. Just eat what you feel like, be sure to try and keep it healthy things. GOOD LUCK pregnancy is definately an experience

Answer 6

Cest' la vie. Pregnancy brings out a lot of strange preferences and abhorrences you may not have had prior to the changes pregnancy brings to your body. Be aware of what your body is telling you. Cravings can be okay but please try to steer clear of Pica eating. That is eating: ice, chalk, laundry starch, lime, burnt matches, etc. You doctor can explain this in detail. If you feel the urge to eat something strange that is not nutritional then quash those feelings by eating something healthy like and apple or some carrots.

Answer 7

You will love cheese again as soon as you're not pregnant anymore. Things will be back to normal then as far as your taste goes.

Answer 8

Im not sure why this happens --- i think for some reason it dont look good to you. The same thing happened to me and Italian food----I use to love it we would eat at the Olive Garden atleast 2 times a month---now I go in there but cant stand looking at the pasta I just have their salad....and soup. but I think when i have baby I will go back to normal. Eat things u enjoy.

Answer 9

Blame it on the Hormones, you may never each cheese again.

Answer 10

You will like it again, it is just pregnancy. I am the same way with eggs. I love eggs, and everytime I am pregnant, the thought of them, or smelling them, makes me nauseous. So, dont sweat it.
