What couldn't you stand when pregnant?

Hi all.

I did a post a bit back on what we liked and craved so thought i'd see what we couldn't handle the smell of while we were pregnant? I know when we're pregnant most smells send us running but i was just wondering if there was the one thing that stands out the most that you couldn't even look at let alone stand the smell or taste of.

With my son i would take a run and jump for the loo if i saw or smelt bleach.

with my daughter i couldn't stand the smell bacon and that to me now and always before was heavenly. lol

What were yours if you had any?

    I couldn't stand Chinese food and I wouldn't even let anyone eat it in the house. My husband had to suffer without a Chinese for 9 months. The thing is that Chinese is actually my favourite food so I was gutted. Nothing else seemed to bother me much though,

    Lisa that is so odd as mine was bacon too. Literally the smell of frying bacon made me vomit! Urgh!

    It was the same with most meat though, I pretty much avoided meat in my pg as it made me feel ill x

    There wasn't anything i didn't like when pregnant, which is half the reason why i'm finding losing weight such a pain in the arse - lol!!!

    I seemed to like all foods including MacDonalds, KFC & Burger Kind which i normally loathe!!!! Did it lots of healthy food too!!

    Think I might be a bit strange but I had nothing, not a sausage!!

    I had no cravings, no dislikings. no morning sickness, nothing! Not that I'm complaining but I was kind of looking forward to having something to tell the kids I craved or hated when I was pregnant lol.

    Lol there is some strange stuff there. I was gutted about the bacon one because before and now it is my favourite smell but while i was pregnant with my daughter i didn't dare go near a cafe for the fear of puking in front of a happy couple eating their dinner. lol.

    for me it was the smell of the tumble dryer, or mince. i couldnt cook with mince at all, and every time i walked into the flat and smelled the tumble dryer i felt soooo queasy it was awful!

    I couldn't stand the smell af anything, but i had hyperemesis so i was an exceptional case lol. The worst things were my fridge, which i could smell no matter where i was in the house, even if all the doors were closed and it was spotlessly clean, and my husbands fish tank - poor fish had to be rehomed because the smell was so bad - even though hubby couldn't smell anything, and they never smelt before i was pregnant! xx
