I know this is ridiculous but I really fancy a tuna sandwich but can't bring myself to eat it.

In my last pregnancy I made tuna pasta one night. Almost immediately after eating it I started getting stomach ache which moved down until it was just above my foof and got worse and worse until I ended up in hospital in the middle of the night with a UTI.

I know the tuna had nothing to do with it but I can't help associating the pain of the UTI with the tuna! I seriously thought I was having a MC that night I was in so much pain (it didn't happen for another few weeks) and I can't bear going through that again!

Feel free to tell me how ridiculous I am being!!

Oh Miss Impatient poor you! Your not being silly. Its so hard to get rid of assosiations isnt it!

The first time my morning sickness kicked in was from the smell of toast and now I cant bring myself to eat it even though im still sick everyday!

how weird is that ive just bought a tuna baguette after really fancying one and after two bites i feel so ill!

Miss Impatient, can i ask whether your first child was a boy or a girl?

Thanks

Sorry I hope I haven't put you off your lunch. I don't know hun, I had a MMC at 9 weeks.

Me gatecrashing again!

After a mc all sorts of things go through our heads and make us scared to do things that we logically know have NOTHING to do with anything.

I am the same.

In my first pregnancy I really started craving coke so after avoiding it for 8 weeks I allowed myself one small glass...2 days later I started bleeding. Now in this pregnancy I've really fancied coke again but it's taken me until 3 days ago to allow myself to drink some because I was so worried the caffine in it would make me mc again! Even though it'd be nowhere near the limit you're allowed. I gave in because my craving became so strong and I am really struggling with being able to drink anything anyway. Also I wanted to make myself stop being silly - but it's been on my mind since! The silly thing is a few weeks ago the only thing I could drink was Lucozade and that has about the same amount of caffeine in!

You are definitely not alone or going mad - just been through a lot.

Sending you ((((hugs))))

Love NN 13+1 xxx

i'm the same, my daughter loves tuna and yesterday she had a tuna and cucumber sandwich and i was sick... the smell was disgustin and i usually love it.... i cudnt sit nxt to her til the smell had gone, the poor girl was gutted, she fort she'd dun summink wrong....

i cnt drink coke as tht is makin me quite ill... and now, coz of my mornin sickness i am really strugglin to eat food coz the vast majority of it is makin me ill due to the smell.... all i can eat without bringin anything bk up is my cereal.... so at least its summink

I am really lucky and haven't been sick but I have been close on several occasions, this morning being one of them. I have found appletiser really settles my stomach, its the one thing that works that I haven't gone off yet! I have read fizzy water helps but I think it tastes like earwax so can't stomach it, I guess appletiser is just fizzy apple juice, and one of your 5 a day woohoo!

bigkisses, its fine honestly. It's my fault, I have gone on about it so much I presumed everyone knew, I should have made it clear in my OP. We called him Lumpy and referred to 'he' all the time so lets go with boy lol!

I dont think u are at all hon.
When expecting my dd everything made me sick-now i am literally afraid to eat seriously i break into a cold sweat eating half a rich tea-i feel sick at the thought of any kind of food.xxx

have you had a tuna sandwich miss i? its natural to relate these things to MMC i have done but im starting to relax a little now im past them 2 dreaded dates of 6+4 (date last baby died) and 9+2 (date i found out id lost last baby)
xxxx

Nope, couldn't face it!
I am past all those dates too now sambooxx, the baby died at 6 weeks and I found out at 9 weeks and had erpc at 9+1 (going by LMP although I think I was about 6 days ahead of that from early OV)
I am 10+1 today, it feels good to be a double figures, a quarter of the way there!
