Food aversions and cravings

I was very lucky and didn't get physically sick during my first trimester. I did have nausea, and there were a few times I sat in the bathroom for a few minutes, just in case! But the nausea was usually only (a) in the morning, (b) if I was near certain foods, or (c) if I ate too much for dinner.

Those "certain foods" included turkey, other poultry (but not as bad as turkey), coffee, and broccoli. So strange, because those are usually foods I love - even broccoli! My sister-in-law couldn't tolerate lettuce :) For me, the turkey was a bit of a problem after hosting Thanksgiving - Devon had to eat all the leftovers. I couldn't even watch him eat them!

I couldn't get enough cheese. I'd have cheese and crackers, macaroni and cheese, cheese with fruit. That craving has gone away, and I'm back to my normal intake of cheese (which is still probably above-normal).

At one point I also craved nacho cheese Doritos and Friendly's Reeses peanut butter sundaes. I only craved these things until I ate each of them once - then I realized neither was as good as I remembered!

Now I don't crave anything specific... I'm just hungry all the time. I suspect the cravings might pick up again now that Rita's has opened for the season!
