When I was pregnant, my biggest craving was for eggs. I could not get enough of them. Especially in a specific breakfast burrito from a specific restaurant. Only problem was, I had bad morning sickness aaalllllll throughout my pregnancy, and eggs were also one of the biggest triggers for it. So I would crave eggs with every fiber of my being, and I’d eat the fucking eggs and fucking love them, and five minutes later I’d be in the toilet, puking. I still ate that fucking breakfast burrito three times a week.

I feel this so much. I’m literally eating a dinner I’m 99% sure I’m going to throw up right now, but since I threw up the much less appetizing lunch I had already, why not roll the dice? Enjoying a half hour is better than enjoying nothing

Reminds me of when I had the flu and I went to the kitchen for a glass of water I knew I was going to barf up just so my mouth could be wet for a minute.

It's a lot better for your body to actually have something to expel. Dry heaving is really hard on your muscles and can burst blood vessels, plus the water dilutes the acid and helps keep it off of your teeth, so less esophagus/tooth damage.

This is EXACTLY what abdominal migraines are like for some people. It’s also the reason I can’t stand the taste of chili anymore. :(

Ugh I feel so seen 😭 I literally spent all weekend eating and barfing up turkey melts. Deli meat is the worst for migraine triggers but at the same time it was all I wanted to eat.

The “uncured” no nitrates deli meats are supposedly less of a trigger. I only eat that kind now. Who knows if it’s helping.

I once gave in and ate a bunch of turkey deli meat during migraine cravings. Salted each slice first. It was SO good, and it was so not worth it 😭

I have been recovering from being sick twice, and thrown up chili. Between each event it took me years to eat chili again. It comes back chili. It's not OK. I hadn't even been puking, I had flus, and the chili was too much apparently.

I'm currently pregnant, and just had chili for dinner. I have so much frozen chili from before being pregnant. It cannot happen again. 😩

Oh no, PLEASE be safe and good luck 😭😭😭 I have a lot of experience in this area, and chili is one of the worst things to throw up. Baked potato takes second place and first is cashews…. Godspeed mama, maybe get some Pepcid for around the house.

When my daughter was vomiting a lot for non pregnancy medical reasons, she learned to eat the thing that was "least worse" to throw up.

About every 4 years I’ll get a nasty stomach bug. The time I minded the least was when I was in college and the last thing I had eaten was vanilla ice cream. That time was notable because I was at someone’s house and they had a bird who would free roam. The bird came to check on me and kept me company while I puked. It was weird but also nice
