Does food taste different in early pregnancy?

Is it true that at a certain point in your pregnancy, your baby can taste the food that you eat?

  • I read an article somewhere that a mother-to-be was eating different foods to "expose her growing baby to new tastes"

  • Answer:

    they don't actually taste exactly what the food tastes like, but the amniotic fluid will have a different taste depending on what the mother eats. If she has tacos, it won't taste exactly like tacos, but it will have a different flavor than when she ate mac and cheese or chinese food

yeah my pregnancy book says that from about 30 weeks on.

At a certain point in pregnancy (I remember reading it recently, so it must have been somewhere between 24 and 28 weeks) the amniotic fluid changes taste depending on what Mom eats. Eating certain foods can definitely trigger a reaction from baby if he doesn't like how it tastes!

Yup that's true! Weird!

I read that also while I was pregnant with my daughter. I haven't noticed her taking any certain preference to the foods I ate a lot when pregnant with her, so I'm not sure of this. I also read that the baby can smell what you smell while pregnant.
