I am the first time pregnant, and when I start preparing the food, I can't bear the smell of cooking oil, spices, etc. Sometimes they are extremely strong that I feel like puking. It makes me troublesome to prepare anything on my own. Due to lockdown, no one can come to my home and touchwood my husband is helping me a lot. I just wanted to stay strong and active, can anyone please help me how to deal with this?
Congratulations on your pregnancy. Yes during the first trimester some face problems with the smell of oil and spices, I also had faced the same problem. I used to put handkerchief on the nose while cooking, though it is troublesome but atleast helped from feeling uneasy. Also when my husband was at home I used to ask him to cook, I used to keep all the vegetables chopped, spices ready and he just cooked the food. Make sure the windows and all are open so that once the cooking is done the smell does not stay... Hope this helps..all the best.
