I usually love chicken, but now I can't even look at it! I don't really eat meat other than poultry and fish. Guess I am stuck with getting the bulk of my protein from beans and nuts for the next 7 months...Tofu doesn't even look good. Help!

It probably won't last the whole nine months, but for me it's usually chicken, pork, beef, fish.....pretty much anything meat of any sort for the first trimester although I am going through a really tough bit where I crave raw meat(which is bad for us) but the sight of blood gives me the heaves so it's horrid. I also have a servere adversion to anything with powdered cheese like goldfish crackers which is really hard when your kids are all under 6 yrs old. It might just be the way you prepare the meat or that fact that you have to see it raw. I know alot of women who can't stand chicken but if you put a platter of sesame chicken in front of them you'd better count your fingers.
Try the beans and nuts and peanut butter(no it won't cause peanut allergies in your baby) until you can find something you tolerate. Cheese also is a good source of proteins so if you can do cheese I'd suggest grilled cheese or cheese pizza to help meet the needs.

I hated chicken too in the first trimester. Once I hit the second though I was back on my chicken kick! So don't worry, you'll probably start liking it again! Things I hated were Taco Bell (couldn't watch the commercials or even look at the building!) pizza ( you kind of loose your taste for it after you puke it up through your mouth and nose!) and like I said chicken. French fries got me through the first trimester (they were the only thing I could stomach) and the rest of my pregnancy it's been fruit and cereal that I've craved.

Mostly Burger King Commercials, hated seeing the sizzling burgers.
Got a lot of nutrients from Total Raisen Bran - plus the Bran helps counteract other pregnancy side effects. Although I think some of the nutrients like the Iron, arent absorbed as well with milk (on cereal) plus the processing.

Oh I hear you. Chicken was one of my aversions. This is normal. One of my friends had an aversion to lettuce!! If you want protein, try Greek strained yogurt (it is plain, however, loaded with protein). Also, try some different fishes! Good luck!

Meat and green vegetables no longer appeal to me. From what I see alot of women seem to have meat related aversions during pregnancy.

i did the same thing with chicken and salad at the beginning of my pregnancy. i got over it when my morning sickness went away at about 20 weeks. now i am 33 weeks and a salad with grilled chicken is my favorite now.
