OK, smelly chicken!

[anxietyoverload]

Where do you stand on chicken? I have a strong nose and I do find that usually I always think raw chicken stinks! Anyway last night I bought some chicken breasts fresh from Morrisons and when I opened them the smell hit me right away! My partner said it was fine and we ate it, but Im pregnant and slightly worried about being sick! I do have slight cramps today, but that maybe cause the curry we had the chicken with had a kick! xx

Hi, I think if it was going to make you ill it would have already happened by now.....either end...if you know what I mean! I'm sure you'll be fine. Your sense of smell is probably heightened because you're pregnant.

That was my thoughts! Im always sooo cautious with meat and it always smells funny to me! The other half doesn't half get annoyed with me, but then again - he will eat anything! xx

I am the SAME way. And when I do eat meat, it has to be so well done, its burnt lol!

I agree with Susan on both fronts - if you've had poor meat you'd be unwell by now. Also, many women do have heightened sense of smell during pregnancy, especially during first trimester.

I agree too my sense of smell was so good when I was pregnant. My students were so upset I could tell if they were sneaking food all the way to the back of the room.
