The cravings thread got me to thinking about what I couldn't eat when I was pregnant.

When I was pregnant with my daughter, I don't remember anything. But with my son, I couldn't eat pepper jack cheese! I made mac & cheese one night and all I could taste was metal! It was so gross. I thought something was wrong with the cheese but no one else noticed it. I guess I should be thankful as pepper jack cheese seemed to be the only thing that caused this problem and I have read where other women tasted metal in everything.

I had no problems with my first.

With my 2nd, I couldn't eat much at all. I lived on crackers for awhile. After that, it was very bland foods. Everything made me sick..

A lot of random things. Once I quit throwing up everything (thank you meds!) it was stuff like Philly Cheese Steak pizza (DH's favorite - used to be mine, but couldn't STAND it when preg), asparagus, A1 Chicago Style Marinade, more I can't remember. I drove DH nuts because it would be something silly (like the Marinade), and he'd have to try again to find something for dinner....had to keep him on his toes!

With first DD it was ground beef anything & chocolate. With 2nd DD it was ice cream. I was due w/ 2nd DD in June, so I couldn't wait until she arrived so i could eat ice cream again.

I didn't have many problems with food but I used to LOVE the orange flavor of Trident gum. Once I got pregnant I couldn't stand the taste or smell of it. To this day I can't chew it. Weird...

During my first trimester with ds, I couldn't eat anything. Nothing was smelled right, looked right cooked right or tasted right...I had nothing, but saltine crackers. After that, I ate everything...And I mean everything. Including the pickles with ice cream.

With all four of mine my biggest problem was that nothing appealed to me as far as food. That drove DH crazy as he's the one that cooks and nothing he suggested ever sounded good to me.

The only time I couldn't eat anything in particular was with my first. The thought of any type of meat made me sick for most of that pregnancy.
