THE hormonal changes during early pregnancy can play havoc with the sensory perceptions and the foods we enjoy can become offensive overnight. This can be a real nuisance, as you may get to the stage when you have gone off everything and just do not know what to eat!
Food cravings and aversions that arise during pregnancy are usually due to changes in taste and smell sensitivities. Unless you avoid an entire food group, food aversions are harmless. The most common food aversions are to coffee, tea, fried or fatty food, highly spiced foods, meats and eggs.
