Strange tastes, smells and cravings

During early pregnancy, you may find your senses are heightened and that some foods or drinks you previously enjoyed become repellent. You might notice:

• a strange taste in your mouth, which many women describe as metallic
• craving new foods
• losing interest in certain foods or drinks that you previously enjoyed, such as tea, coffee or fatty food
• losing interest in tobacco
• having a more sensitive sense of smell than usual, for example to the smell of food or cooking
