13. Fish

(See Deli)

Seafood does me in at the best of times, so when one of my workmates cracked a tin of tuna for lunch one day during my pregnancy, I went outside to eat my lunch. For four days. You know, until the smell was gone.

14. Boiled Egg

Sulphur-fart-gas-chook-bum-nut-stink. Poisoned nostrils whatever you call the odour that boiled eggs emit when you’re duffed. It must have a lot to do with the super sniffer-dog powers your nose now possesses, as boiled eggs are usually the most inoffensive of the cooked egg varieties.

15. Coffee

My heart broke a little when I woke one sunny first-trimester morning, looking forward to my once daily cup of weak instant, only to find I would rather slap myself in the face than smell or ingest any of that icky, brown, bitter, evil poison. What the hell is that about I ask you? I had always loved a nice cuppa and then all of a sudden, boom, no more mister nice java. Five years later and I’m attempting one occasionally, but it’s not the same and probably never will be again.

Thanks pregnancy. Lucky our kids are cute!
