The Nausea Hit-List

I am now officially halfway through week 12 of my pregnancy, and thankfully, THANKFULLY, much of the debilitating nausea I experienced during the past six weeks has subsided.  I still have some strong episodes here and there, and as a result of the past six weeks, the list of Foods I Cannot Tolerate Even Thinking About has grown unfortunately long.  My first vicious experience with pregnancy nausea occurred after I ate a big green salad topped with a hard-boiled egg and chickpeas, with a side of pita chips and hummus.  All those items are now at the top of my nausea hit-list, along with many of my beloved favorite foods:

Eggs

Plain chickpeas

Pita chips

Hummus

Pizza

Cheddar cheese

Peanut Butter

Kiwis

Tea of any kind

Toast

Thai food

Oatmeal

Crackers
Chicken fingers

Unusual (for me) things I have eaten in the past six weeks:

McDonald’s cheeseburger (twice!)

Taco Bell nachos, and crunchy tacos with beans

Sour cream (I can’t get enough of it!)

Summer fruit is my very best friend.  Sweet peaches, nectarines, blueberries and strawberries, and even bananas have become important parts of my daily diet.  So has dairy yogurt (as per Pop’s insistence that I need to increase my calcium intake) and cereal with soy or almond milk.  Everything else has been pretty hit-or-miss.  No weird cravings yet.  And thankfully I still love (but am being good about not eating too many) tortilla chips.
