Do food aversions ever cease or at least ease up?
I am currently 16 weeks (on monday) along. This is my first pregnancy (though I've raised kids) and though I've heard it's normal I'm starting to get annoyed that I can not eat any Beef.
I've been sick since week 5 when I initially found out about the pregnancy and could barely keep anything down. I'm on medicine now to help with the nausea but I've found that I can not eat anything beef related.
The sight of hamburgers make me sick, I cooked sloppy joes for dinner the other night and ended up eating only the bread, I can't even stomach the sight of a juicy steak.
I've taken to eating mostly Chicken and Pork products but I was just wondering, do food aversions usually lessen by a certain point in the pregnancy or am I destined to be sick by the sight of my favorite meat the entire pregnancy?

Most aversions end after pregnancy. Sometimes before. I've had people tell me that they've never gotten over a food aversion - and people tell me that after pregnancy they were never again able to eat some of the only foods that they were able to eat while pregnant because of morning sickness.
Food aversions are your body's way of stopping you from eating certain foods that could harm your baby during development - though beef is a strange one (I had an aversion to hamburgers - but could still eat steak). Make sure you speak to your doctor though about this food aversion because red meat is a main source of iron and you'll want to make sure you're keeping your iron intake at an appropriate level for the baby :)
