Don’t get me wrong I’m having a great pregnancy for the most part but I’m so over being pregnant. The tossing and turning, cant sleep. Taste buds all over the place, the nose of a hound ! Days when I’m full of energy then other days I barely have energy to get out of bed or lift my head. I’m just so ready for the bundle of joy part but then again I’m scared of labor.

Developing Taste Buds
Developing Taste Buds
In the sixteenth week of your pregnancy, a fascinating development takes place—your baby begins to develop taste buds.
The Significance of Taste Bud Development
The formation of taste buds is essential for your baby's future ability to taste and enjoy different flavors.
- Dietary Preferences: Taste bud development can influence your baby's dietary preferences later in life.
- Amniotic Fluid Flavor: Your baby may taste flavors from the foods you eat via the amniotic fluid.
Taste Bud Formation
During this week, your baby's taste buds start to form.
- Papillae: Tiny structures called papillae, which house taste buds, are beginning to develop on the tongue.
- Early Taste Perception: While taste perception is limited at this stage, it marks the beginning of your baby's ability to taste.
Week 16 marks an intriguing phase in your pregnancy journey as your baby's taste buds start to form. Although your baby's taste preferences are still developing, this milestone sets the stage for future culinary adventures.
As you continue to make healthy choices and prioritize your well-being, you're nurturing the growth of this sensory aspect that will play a role in your baby's relationship with food.

Currently 5 weeks pregnant and I feel like my taste buds changed or maybe my appetite??? Idk I’m confused nothing tastes good and I’m eating because I know I have to eat but I don’t enjoy anything I eat. Anyone experiencing this? 1st time mommy…
Keely
Yeah that tends to happen in early pregnancy. I didn’t have my taste buds change but my appetite sure did. In the beginning I wasn’t really hungry at all.
