Not foods that your not suppose to eat but foods that you normally LOVE but while pregnant can not be within 5 feet of it!! Before I was pregnant I LOVED spaghetti but while I was pregnant I couldn't stand it!

EVERYthing made me sick with the last one...but a one specific would be spring rolls. I lived on them the first trimester, they were the only thing that didn't make sick, and then one day BAM my prego body changed it's mind and went opposite on me!

I was so sick with my last pregnancy that every time I ate something..I couldn't eat it again because I would feel so sick.  It was quite strange.  Things I loved...like chicken fajita tacos...became repulsive.  I ate Subway sandwhiches for about 3 days, because that was all that sounded good, and then when my husband brought one home on the 4 day I almost threw up just looking at it. :)

I was pretty lucky in the nausea category.  I didn't get too sick, but there were those things I could NOT eat.  The big ones were chicken, eggs, and pizza.
 
Ok, now I am remembering that during my second pregnancy, I couldn't eat fast food, or at least fast food with red meat in it (hamburgers, tacos, etc) or I would PAY for it in a bad bad way.
 
Pregnancy can be so strange.  :)

I had a gall bladder attack when I was pregnant and to avoid having another (I had over 50 gallstones) I had to avoid soooooo many foods such as: garlic, corn, cauliflower, garlic, brussel sprouts, beans, pineapple, garlic, lettuce, cabbage, garlic, anything fried, etc.  Did I say garlic?  Basically, I ate chicken, fish, baked potatoes, yams, bread, and ice cream.  It could have been worse!

Chocolate Coco Puffs or any chocolate cereal. I ate a big bowl of them one morning and my stomach said no. It does not taste good coming as it did going down. It took me almost 6 months after I had my son before I could try them again. LOL

Ham!...When I was pregnant with my third child I was very sensitive to odors in my early weeks of pregnancy.  We hosted Easter dinner at our house that year and the weeks after I could still smell the ham and it made me sick to my stomach.  Needless to say I couldn't think about ham, I couldn't eat it or smell it without wanting to vomit.  It got so bad that I took my oven and moved it out so I could clean behind it and I went to town with the bleach.  Then I self cleaned the oven.  The smell did linger..even though noone else smelled it...until I was not effected by odors anymore.  To this day I am not a big fan of ham! :)

I don't think I had any food diversions while pregnant besides my normal food diversions.  I have a severe texture issue with my foods.  I can't eat ham because it feels like a big bite of fat.  I can't eat mushrooms unless they are cooked probably.  The rubbery texture of mushrooms gets to me.  Soggy bread makes me want to vomit a little.  I'm a weird one.  The only food I can actually say I don't like the taste of is oreo cookies.  I am not a big dark chocolate fan.  It's just too bitter tasting to me.  I told ya I was weird.
