    Pregnancy Boo hoo

    I am sick of my sense of smell being so weird.

    The smell of chicken cooking
    The smell of toast
    The smell of raw meat in the early stages of cooking

    I can still eat all these things but the smell

    And another thing ... I am sick of my snotty mucussy nose that never seems to get better and the crap that sits high in the back of my throat that causes coughing fits and chucking.

    I love pregnancy, I can deal with the aches and pains but when it comes to affecting my smell and stuff Its just gross.


    What are your pregnancy boo hoo's ??

    Does "Can't get pregnant" count????

    Hope you feel better soon and are able to enjoy your pregnancy!

    Take care x

    I couldn't stand the smell of fish cooking. Salmon was the worst by far, and the smell still makes me retch a bit.

    Yep heightened sense of smell here too, it's not the nicest thing is it? I particularly hate the smell of peanut butter and can tell if someone has been eating it. Having two indoor cats isn't doing me any favours either! Hubby works at an oil refinery and I can't stand the smell of him after work

    I'm lucky, I haven't had the sense of smell thing or m/s, so mine is probably silly compared to yours, bur it's the constant bladder calls through the night in the middle of winter. My house is like an igloo so it's NOT pleasant to leave my nice warm bed in the middle of the night. Bring on 2nd trimester!

    My sense of smell goes a bit weird - I incline towards vegetarianism until about week 24 when a midwife tells me to eat red meat...!
    My biggest boo hoo is that I can't friggin walk properly or do anything without that 'sledgehammer up my clacker' feeling and ending up on crutches at least once, and at the osteo every fortnight to put my pelvis back in place. Horseriding seems to be out sooner each pg, too
    Definitely mobility, or lack thereof, is my boo hoo. I told DP I want a 4WD golf buggy for the next time so that I can get around and feed horses!

    Being so sick that some days just getting out of bed is the biggest task. Not being able to be near meat cooking, not being able to stomach the thought of food but being starving hungry at the same time and then constant throwing up each time something is eaten. Has happened to me each time, hence why I put on about 5kgs all up. YUCKY.

    Not being able to exercise now that I'm in late pregnancy - and walking doesn't count - I mean running & boxing & high energy stuff. I also hate the aches & pains, the constant tiredness, the constant peeing & the constant worry that everything is going to go wrong.

    This is it for me, I can't do this again....I don't know how some of you girls go back for more! Ok...yes...newborns are very delicious!! But pregnancy sucks!

    yep super sonic smell for me too, though luckily it's not food.
    We have a mouse plague ATM and I can smell the little buggars from 20feet!

    food.... im hungry but nothing much takes my fancy.... having to eat as soon as i wake up..... just before i go to bed.... the thought of cooking makes me want to be sick, and nearly all food but toast and fruit do the same...... i've never been this fussy about food before!!

    Yup, got the weirdo sense of smell here too - still! DH has been banned from eating anything for lunch that has a lot of garlic because I can't stand the smell, we've had to switch from going to work on the train because getting home was too much with people's stinky B-O and smelly feet, DD was eating some fruit pastille things the other day and I wanted to toss them out the window cause they smelled vile... fun isn't it?

    I'm also a little tired of the random things making me sick - anything from getting too hungry and then eating or having a sudden change in temperature (laying down on supercold sheets for example) or sudden strong smells, any of which can send me bolting for the loo. Still throwing up at 23 weeks has knobs on. So does getting up to pee 5-6 times a night
