If you developed food aversions during pregnancy, did they go away or do they still linger? What foods?
I still get nauseated when I even smell meatloaf since my pregnancy with DS1, 7 years ago. Nothing in particular from pregnancy with DS2. I have no appetite for anything with onions in it after DS3 (if they are really well-sauteed it doesn't bother me). And anything with raw onion is a no go. Luckily my aversion to garlic went away.
I don't have a particularly weak stomach, so this amuses me. Random thoughts brought to you after making dip for tomorrow that had raw onion in it. I used to really love that dip. Now I cringe when I make it.
What? No. You can get that shit from a pill! FYI for future reference.
I knowwwwwwwww. We had a lot of arguments about it. Uggggh. Maybe we'll be OAD, haha.
Pick something annoying that Bas does and then make up that you heard somewhere that it's linked to salmon ingestion during pregnancy. Standing in the tub or something.

Not quite the same but my body seriously stopped tolerating garlic with my first pregnancy. I still can eat only very little without an awful reaction. It's so sad because I love it so much!
But right before I got pregnant I was on a kick - No soda! No caffeine! I will be the healthiest healthy person that's ever been pregnant. So I became a seltzer water nut to replace everything I wasn't drinking. I drank it all the time and bought cases full at BJs.
Then I became pregnant. Too carbonated, I was burping constantly. Haven't liked it again since. I have 3 cases still in my basement.
It has recently morphed back a little. Caramini is 3.5.
ETA: I did not drink during pregnancy, nor until Caramini was about 4 months old (too tired!). It could have been just laying off the sauce for that long. No worries, though, I am making up for it now!
The first time, I could not eat pulled meat barbecue, like pulled pork, chicken, etc. I could eat it without sauce, but sauced barbecue was awful. That went away for the most part. Sometimes it still gets me though.

I couldn't eat anything for meat except chicken breast because the smell of any other cooking meat made me ill. I basically turned vegetarian for 9 months. I also had a serious aversion to squash. That one I wasn't able to get over for a year after ds1 was born.
I vividly remember standing on my deck in a snowstorm last December when I was a hot minute pregnant with DD. H had made pork chops for dinner, and as soon as I walked in the door and smelled them, I was disgusted and had to escape their smell. We normally ate pork once a week so my hatred came on suddenly. For the entire pregnancy, the thought of pork would be enough to make me dry heave. I had to push my cart very quickly past the pork section of the grocery store because I couldn't even look at it. This was extra weird because I didn't really have any nausea at all otherwise.
As soon as DD popped out, I was happily eating pork chops for dinner once a week again.
You know i was going to ask this the other day. I still strongly dislike chicken breast. I couldn't go near it pregnant and now i just don't want to eat it.
Eta but my cravings for sugar went away and i crave salty foods again.
Red wine. Maybe not an aversion per se. I was so looking forward to having a glass on Thanksgiving but my heartburn was so bad I couldn't even deal with the smell. Even now, more than a glass kills me. Sigh, we had a good thing going for many years. Sorry I've had to move on...

It took a long time for my aversion to bacon to go away after DD was born. Not pregnancy-related, but my love of cheese* still hasn't returned after 17 months of the MSPI diet. I'm mostly okay with it now, but it took months before I could eat anything with gooey cheese without being totally grossed out by it.
*I still love good cheese, like a wine and cheese pairing, but I no longer really care about cheese on pasta or whatever and rarely eat it. It was very unexpected.
Green onions. I just can't eat them. I made DH this one dish that had them in it when I was particularly nauseated and over 4 years later, I get gaggy when I think if it.
I still can't drink 2 percent milk, it's like cream. I do drink skim now though instead.
Ha, I switched to whole milk while I was pregnant because I had a ton of food aversions and needed the calories. DD is 6 mo old and I haven't gone back to 2%. Mmmm delicious.
And I still can't stand the taste of raw bell peppers--so random!

My tastes changed after both pregnancies. I don't have near the sweet tooth I used to. Also, much to my husband's dismay, I don't really care for mexican food anymore.
Eggs is a big one. I can sometimes eat them from IHOP but homemade makes me gag.
With DD I could NOT eat chicken, which ironically she hates, but I've mostly gotten over that. It can't have any fat on it though or chewy bits. ::gag::
Chicken. Especially if I'm the one who cooked it. Raw chicken grossed me out prior to pregnancy, and it got a lot worse during. I'm only two weeks out, but I still find it pretty disgusting.
