Is it normal to dislike food during pregnancy?

Mostly.Normal for most people

Yes. Food dislikes and sudden aversions are common during pregnancy, often because smells and tastes can seem different or much stronger.

Pregnancy can make familiar foods suddenly unappealing, and sometimes even the smell is enough to put you off. It can happen alongside cravings or nausea, and your preferences may change again later in pregnancy.

Try whatever foods and drinks feel manageable, and don’t worry if your usual favorites aren’t doing it for you right now. If you can’t keep fluids down, feel dehydrated, or are struggling to eat enough, check in with your healthcare provider.
