    Strangely enough my strongest cravings with both pgs were for my favorite foods - *angel smiley* anything and everything seafood. The oddest craving I can remember is I wanted jalapenos on my nachos while pg with N&M. I normally do not like jalapenos - too spicy. For Aidan's pg, I did love me some Rally's *Monster Dogs. (Monster dogs are chili dogs with coleslaw on them.) The memory still sends a happy shiver down my spine.

    Good luck. I hope you enjoy your pregnancy.

    I have way more food aversions than cravings. The only thing I can think of that I actually have craved was Peanut Butter Cap'n Crunch (for months I HAD to have this). The first trimester I just wanted cheerios with bananas. SO really - cereal! Other than that I just crave chocolate this last trimester. :blush:

    I have not had any at all - didn't with my daughter either...
    I get really hungry at times, but not for any particular food...

    with my ds#1 all I wanted were cold french fries from the restaurant down the street that I normally HATED! and with my other pregnancies, I had more food adversions than cravings. There are still some things that I loved pre pregnancy that I won't touch now.

    there were a few times that I thought I was craving something - I would want it so bad and get it, take one glorious bite and after that first bite I hated whatever it was for life!

    I am a few weeks in to my 2nd trimester and I have no cravings either. I like (and dislike) all the same pre-pregnancy foods I did before. I also had hardly any symptoms of pregnancy my first trimester (no morning sickness, nausia, exhaustion)... the only thing I get on a daily basis is headaches. Started getting those around my 9th week and at 14 weeks they are still, unfortunately, going strong. In fact, I have one right now!

    I am 19 weeks and have not had any strong cravings at all. I may decide every once in awhile I want something, but it is not the biggest deal if I get it or not. I really thought I'd have stronger cravings by now too!

    I agree with the other ladies. I had acid reflux so food has not been my friend until two days ago. I am now getting hunger pains (still have the reflux prob but the pepcid ac controls it to 80%) and am really wanting a glass of champagne over anything else in the world!!! Cant wait to have that glass (or two!)

    I've never had cravings just preferences. ;)

    During the first trimester is when I have the aversions and sorta-cravings. Nothing weird just something I normally wouldn't consume... I maybe eating breakfast and think, "A glass of milk would go good with this." That's about the extent for me.

    Same here, no real cravings other than wanting to eat! In first trim, I wanted tomatoes and sharp, tangy foods but I always liked those.

    i haven't had a single craving or side effect during this pregnancy....no nausea, no cravings, nothing unusual at all. i really wanted some funky craving to kick in, but it never did!

    1st trimester - bologna and mustard sandwich :huh:
    2nd trimester - Chocolate mousse cake, I would literally eat a whole cake by myself. :shok:
    3rd trimester - Everything I could get my hands on, the only problem was that I could only have a bite or two at the time. One of my kids decided to park his head under my ribs and stayed there until they were born at 37.1. :mad:

    Another one here that never had any cravings. :pardon: I'd eat, but never had that middle of the night need for some ice cream and pickles. :laughing:

    I never had cravings either, unless "eat constantly -- preferably something with a high fat content" counts as a craving. It's the only time in my adult life that I've eaten McDonald's breakfast sandwiches.

    I haven't had any real cravings, but once I got out of my first trimester, everything tastes sooo good, and I'm hungry all the time. I've been trying not to gain too much weight, but it's hard when food has never tasted so good. At my last growth scan, the babies were measuring two weeks ahead, so I guess they're liking all that extra food too.
