Beti, usually by the second trimester, these aversions start to lessen. The body adjusts. Try having small meals and ginger tea, it helps many. But remember, every pregnancy is different. Be patient.

My cousin told me her food aversions mostly stopped by the second trimester, like around 14-16 weeks. She said it was such a relief! So, hang in there, it doesn't last the whole nine months for everyone.

Oh, food aversions! I remember those days. For me, they mostly disappeared by 16-18 weeks. It was like suddenly my stomach decided it was friends with food again. Good riddance to morning sickness, honestly!

Typically, food aversions subside for most women by the second trimester. However, if they persist strongly, or if you're unable to keep any food down, it's crucial to get it checked by your doctor. Dehydration and malnutrition can be serious.
