did anyone else lowkey hate food during pregnancy?
ok so this might sound weird but did anyone else just… not enjoy food at all while pregnant?
like in the beginning I had crazy aversions. everything smelled bad. everything tasted off. I basically survived on toast, crackers and random carbs just to not throw up.
and then it kind of turned into this cycle where I kept eating the same few “safe” foods over and over. no variety. no balance. just whatever didn’t make me nauseous.
and instead of enjoying food, it started feeling stressful?? like a chore. or even a trap.
I’d feel guilty for not eating “healthy enough”
but also couldn’t stomach most healthy stuff
so it was just constant frustration.
I always imagined pregnancy would be this glowing magical time and instead I was negotiating with a piece of bread at 3pm lol
did anyone else go through this?
does the food aversion / carb-only phase calm down eventually?
would love to hear real experiences
