Is it normal to go off meat when pregnant

Welcome Active Popular Browse. Hi all, Well, Bub has decided Mum should be vegetarian for a while. I have a friend who also had this and knows of another and they both had girls. Just wondering if anyone else has experienced this and what you ended up having? I don't mind either way but I'm just curious. Posted Saturday 26 March pm.

I even hated to touch it or look at it. I generally preferred vegetarian based meals. It took me till my son was 18 months before I ate chicken again.

That must have been awful Christie! The smell or the taste isn't putting me off it's the actual texture of the flesh once it's in my mouth, it makes me feel horrible. Did any of you have to go on iron tablets?

I just don't want to become anemic if I decide not to eat meat at all. X Sent from my iPhone using Netmums. Early pregnancy signs and symptoms Anyone get hives during pregnancy?

In answer to reb28zxe. Chicken is the one I am going off the most but I had some beef tonight and I was struggling to eat that too. Can't find your answer? This can make it easier for bacteria to grow. There's a small risk of getting toxoplasmosis if you eat raw and undercooked meat, which can cause miscarriage. Cured meats are not cooked, so they may have parasites in them that cause toxoplasmosis. Liver and liver products have lots of vitamin A in them.

This can be harmful to an unborn baby. Try to eat British Lion eggs eggs with a lion stamp on them because they are less likely to have salmonella in them. Salmonella is unlikely to harm your unborn baby, but you could get food poisoning. If you eat eggs that are not British Lion, or not from hens, make sure the whites and yolks are cooked thoroughly.

You can have 2 tuna steaks, or 4 medium-size cans of fish, as well as 2 portions of oily fish. You should limit tuna because it has more mercury in it than other fish. If you eat too much mercury, it can be harmful to your unborn baby.

You should limit oily fish because they can have pollutants such as dioxins and polychlorinated biphenyls in them. If you eat too much of these, they can be harmful to your unborn baby. You should avoid raw shellfish because they can have harmful bacteria, viruses or toxins in them. These can make you unwell and give you food poisoning.
