Is it common to go off foods in early pregnancy?

Up until a week ago, I loved fish, my favoriate was salmon... Tried to have some Cod today and it made me gag (spat it out before I had chance to be sick) then I tried to have some salmon and that was even worse.

I am possibly coming up to 3 weeks pregnant

2 questions... Is this common, to go off foods you normally love?
and Isnt 3 weeks too early for signs to be showing?
I dont know I am pregnant... thats why I said 'possibly' :)

Me and my husband stopped having sex 2 months before the wedding night just to try and make it a little more special, so the most I could be is coming up to 3 weeks pregnant :)

Hope that clears that up.

I can't answer the big pregnancy question for you, but I will say that even when I didn't know that I was pregnant, I should have. I conceived in December and was eating everything in sight, but attributed it to Christmas time baking.

Then when I would have been 4 weeks pregnant, I couldn't be around cooking meat, could barely eat meat (only wanted fruit) and didn't even think about tea (used ot have a cup a day) or my first love, chocolate. All chocolate (even the higher end stuff), tasted oily and fake and ice cream (also my fav) made me gag. I couldn't eat all of those things until I was about 5 months. Throughout my whole pregnancy, starting as early as 4 weeks, the thought of spinach (in a salad especially) makes me feel sick to my stomach

So in essence, it's never too early to get turned off food. It was the first, real sign of pregnancy for me :)

pregnancy: junk food?

ScienceGee

I get cravings every so often, usually of good food but recently it's been chocolate muffins and crisps. I've only been getting this craving at night for the past few days. I usually let myself enjoy what i'm craving because i go off it real quick, so i know i'll go off the muffins soon enough.

I'm just wondering if it's having an effect on my baby? I eat a decent mixture of foods everyday, i try to get as much fruit and veg in as possible, i drink fruit juice/smoothies and i drink alot of water and milk so i know i'm getting a good range of foods.

Also, any ideas of what groceries i could buy that i can munch on at night instead of crisps, i love quavers and wotsits and when i get slightly hungry at night i'll have a pack or 2 and i know it's not good, but what other things can i try? I HATE FRUIT now, i can only drink 100% fruit juices, so i can't nibble on fruit. I've tried yoghurts and cereals.

- Is eating muffins and crisps effecting my baby? More the crisps than anything because i eat them everyday usually.

- What can i buy to nibble on at night when i get hungry, instead of junk food. Don't say make a meal, because i get bad heartburn if i eat meals at 9pm at night.
Amanda - I never said i didn't like yoghurts and cereals, that's currently what i eat when i'm hungry at night, but i'm getting bored of them.

Kelley - I said don't say make a meal, because i've had 4 big meals throughout the day and then at 9/10pm i'm not wanting to cook a big meal again, especially when i get bad heartburn and have eaten enough as it is, i just need something to satisfy my hunger. I'll try soups and baked potatoes, easy and quick to make.

Thanks everyone else, it's really just ideas for foods i can eat at night. Something easy and fast to make, but also quite good for you. I'll try everything you've said. I'm just sick of eating toasties, yoghurts and cereal.

i have continued to eat crisps n chocolate throughout my pregnancy as well as eat healthy meals. just dont over-indulge.
i find that i drift onto cream crackers if im trying to stay off the crisps because i need to have somthing which 'crunches' when i eat it - like the crisps do.
if you have to have the crisps, can u switch for the 'healthier' ones - i like walkers baked - they're really crispy with not many calories as are french fries.
i really think that if you're eating a generallyhealthy diet a little bit of what you fancy will not hurt. it your body's way of saying ' i need this food!!'
PS- with my 1st preg, i lived on crisps n rubbish for 1st trim, got my appetite back and ate well in the 2nd, and went rite off food again in the 3rd and lived on rubbbish. my son was 7lbs11 when born, i put 11lbs total weight on. he's now 4 and fit and healthy. so don't worry too much.
