Bumped into Mr Bags by the milk jug, so to speak (Hi, Honey). He had a mug full of black coffee in his hand, I had an empty mug in mine. I warm my coffee milk in the microwave and then add the coffee. He pours the coffee in first and then adds cold milk.

You?

I had the same reaction to alcohol - it's your body telling you to lay off what's not good for you.

I think it is fairly common Gagagran I would retch at the smell of coffee from the very earliest weeks of pregnancy, I wonder if it is natures way of preventing us ingesting what is not good for baby ? I went off apples with each pregnancy, even the smell was vomit inducing.

ga, people who think breast-feeding another woman's baby is unnatural don't know much history, obviously, or they would have heard of wet nurses. You'd think everyone nowadays would have heard of other mammals suckling babies that weren't their own too. Not to mention Romulus and Remus and the wolf mother.
