12 weeks and sick of meat

laurendobbs · Sep 10, 2009, 02:00 PM

Ok so I am due in March anyway my nausea is horrible I took ONE bite of a hamburger and there I go again running for the porcelain torture chamber I have become so fond of. I cannot stand hamburger meat in anything; tacos, nachos, or hamburgers. I am so weak and I don't know what eat or do. My OBGYN prescribed me Zofran, anti nausea meds that is supposed to the best, I haven't received it yet the Walmart by my house had to order it. I am waiting on that but even after I get it, will I be able to eat meat? What do I do until then?

I thought papaya was as natural as eating papaya? Jamaca and other countries use it as a meat tenderizer.
Probotics is basically what yogurt is. I use payaya meat tenderizer because I get sick from the msg in the general meat tenderizers they sell.

Now I am wondering about people who eat papaya and yogurt, if they know they can't be eating papaya and yogurt when they are pregnant???

I read up on supplements to avoid when pregnant because of their abortifacient effects years ago . I never ran across papaya.

Thanks for letting me know. I WILL add it to my things to take and not to take notebook

Have the doctors already tried to give you Phenergan yet? That is the first thing my doctor tried but it did not work for me. If they haven't tried to give it to you yet or do not have a medical reason to not give it to you it wouldn't hurt to ask about it.

Are there any other fruits or vegetables to avoid? I've never eaten papaya before but I didn't realize it was so bad either.

have you tried diffrent kind of meat? i had the same issue with the smell sight, and taste of red meat in early pregnancy like month 3 and 4 the doc put me on zofran during m those 2 months, but it made me sleep so he told me to try substituting ground chicken or turkey for the ground beef. I was skeptical about making sloppy joes or chili or anything like that with anything but beef but to my suprise its really tasty i like it alot more than ground beef, its alot less greasy ( which is my big problem greasy food makes me really sick) and you can season it and substitute it for any ground beef dish! i hope you start feeling better soon i know its anoying now but it wont last forever if you try this idea i hope it works as well for you as it does for me!

J_9 Thank you very much I was looking for any other kind of medication other than what my dr has given, I believe that some people misread my question but it is good to know that I cannot eat or take that, also I have miscarried a few times before, too. So I am being very careful.

Niccidoodle- well I can eat other meat its just ground beef that makes me vomit even from the smell, I took a bite out of the hamburger just trying to be nice and holy moly bad idea. I can eat steak, i do love ground turkey it is actually really good I couldn't tell the difference it all gave me heartburn lol, also I substitute my hamburgers for chicken sandwiches and I eat alot of yogurt since I am on antibiotics so that helps. Anything milk base or that is really a base helps me alot.

Silver- my doctor has only proscribed Zofran for my nausea I haven't received it yet I am still waiting for the pharmacy to call me, I wish they would hurry. lol

Also J_9 I am not eating any fish however I am craving some mac cheese and tuna, my dr said I can have 1 can a week, I haven't done it yet I really like it but I want to make sure I can keep it down I don't want to waste food.

Thank you so much everyone. If anyone else has had similar issues please comment and let me know if it went away for you..

Thanks

If you are concerned about not eating meat ,don't be.There is plenty of protein in peanuts and beans of any kind.

I used to eat vanilla pudding and good old saltine crackers(unsalted) to soothe my stomach.

Your prenatal vitamins are chock full of everything you need.

Fresh fruit and your healthier unsweetened cereals worked for me.

J,
We are told not to eat raw pineapple too during pregnancy,is there a good reason for that?

laurendobbs,
Regarding tuna, one of the easiest things to keep down for me was plain rice with bland tuna soup with a bit of lemon added.
