Many pregnant women are suddenly repelled by certain foods, including foods they previously loved. Food aversion is most common in the first trimester because of symptoms included in the morning sickness.

What is the reason of this?

When you add together an increased sense of smell, frequent nausea, and changing hormones, the result will often be food aversions. Some think that food aversions are a mechanism that functions as your body's informing way of the food it doesn't want.

Tips

From a biological standpoint, there's really nothing you can do to prevent or reverse food aversions, so your best solution is to keep your home and especially your kitchen as airy and fresh as possible. Air fresheners are not recommended during pregnancy as they can release harmful chemicals into the air and most paraffin candles can be dangerous, so it's best to use a more environmentally friendly product to help freshen up. Citrus scents can also help, so it doesn't hurt to keep a lemon handy. As the anti-nausea properties of ginger are well known, you can also try ginger supplements.
