What do you CRAVE?

It's a common known fact that pregnant women crave food that they don't normally eat all of the time. So, what have been your cravings so far?

With my twins, I craved milk and LOTS of it (I don't normally drink milk, I usually only have it on hand for cooking). And, I craved donuts like they were going out of style. I always wanted those ones you can pick up at the gas stations in a sleeve of 6 mini-donunts...the Donut Gems (the ones covered in toasted coconut). YUMMY!!!

This pregnancy...I've been pretty nauseous this time around, but seems like I've been craving Mexican food A LOT! For the past few weeks I've been at Chipotle at least once a week. Usually I just get the chips and guac, but sometimes I splurge and get the chicken soft tacos. I'm going to Senor Antonios this weekend...hehehe!

 

SUSHI. Real, honest to God, raw fish sushi. I've been eating lots of california rolls but they're not the same thing!

 

As disgusting as I think it is - I've been eating bologna sandwiches. I'm buying pure beef bologna, but it's still gross. Nothing else satisfies my craving.

I hope when I'm done being pregnant I never have the urge bologna again!

 

Onion rings is my downfall!!

 

Milk, granola bars, past and (this one is the worst) iced coffee. The girls at the local coffee and I are on a first-name basis now because I'm in there 2-3 times a week.

 

Oh my gosh before I even found out I was pg I craved pickles and ate a jar a day for 6 days! Finally I switched to a package of pringles for the last day. Thankfully, that went away after that week.

Now I seem to crave peanut butter and I've also craved watermelon. These are not all the time, but I've definitely had a taste for them like I've never had before.

 

Mine have been ice cream-particularly peanut butter cup, bananas, banana pudding, most fruit, and lots of sweets! I hate that part- it is so bad for you- with my son- I only craved fruit and salad- ha ha ha! Now the only kind of salad I like is from Olive Garden- or that Oriental Chicken one from Applebees!

 

I wish I had cravings. With my son I craved Milk. I didn't drink milk that much and that was all I wanted. This pregnancy with the twins at first was peanut butter and jelly sandwiches but now thinking really. I wish I had a weird craving that I couldn't live without having it.

 

Seafood! Being on the Gulf Coast I love seafood to begin with but now that is the way to my heart... crabmeat au gratin, boiled crabs, boiled shrimp, boiled crawfish, crab cakes, crab/shrimp and corn bisque, seafood bisque, New Orleans style barbequed shrimp. All just simply divine. I'm waiting on lunch now - sweet potato fries and a cup of crawfish, corn and potato bisque.

 

French fries (from wendys) and tons of pineapple from the can... I do crave doughnuts the old fashioned ones.. But i am not allowed to eat that anymore.. uurrgg Dam GD!!

 

I too wish I had cravings. The only thing I really crave is that Lipton's cold brew tea with splenda. I drink a lot of that. Most of the time I have to force myself to eat. I know this is the time I am supposed to be loving food but I am just never in the mood to eat.

 

In the beginning it was fruit. Then I craved BLT sandwiches (something I never eat normally) and now I want chocolate, chocolate, chocolate!!

 

Milk, cheese, mac and cheese, and chicken cheesesteaks from Nifty Fiftys. These babies like their cheese!!!

 

I wish I had cravings! I am hungry all the time, but when it comes time to pick something to eat nothing and I mean NOTHING sounds good! My husband gets so frustrated! He is a chef so food is his thing. To tell you the truth I don't even like food at this point, I just eat because I know I have to to grow healthy babies!

 

lots of fruit! and nutella (chocolate hazelnut spread) is my new thing. i mean, i ate it before, but now, i HAVE to have it! i just pile it onthe bread and eat it with a big glass of milk yummmm!!! which reminds me... i need to buy another jar soon....

 

To the PP who wants bologna- you're not alone!


Weird weird weird. I have had a lingering craving for bologna/cheese and mustard sammies on white bread for my whole pregnancy. I'm too scared of lunch meat to eat it but MAN do I want it. My grandma used to make these for me when I was young. It's been at least 25 years since I've had one.

I think as soon as these babies are born, that's what I'll want. Isn't that just crazy?

 

At the beginning my cravings were for cranberry juice, roast beef sandwiches from Arby's and butterfinger blizzards I also started drinking tons of milk , which I never did before I was prego. Now I really crave anything cold and refreshing, frozen fruit, shaved ice, slurpees, or popsicles. I think that living in Arizona that has something to do with that though. I also crave proteins like chicken strips or turkey sandwiches. Nothing too crazy

 

This entire pregnancy I have craved meat! In particular steak or fried chicken. I normally don't like steak very much, and I'll eat chicken every now and then, but not too often. I swear I could eat steak and fried chicken for every meal, 7 days a week and be happy as can be! Especially Raising Caines Chicken Fingers, I treat myself to them once a month, but I could eat that chicken every day!! (and be as big as a house!)

 

Ice cream, mexican food, rum and diet cokes, mike and ikes, oh wait, crap, I'm not pregnant anymore....is that my problem?? Could this be why my clothes STILL don't fit? Hmmmm, I'll have to think about that.

 

I love cereal! I like different kinds, but especially Cheerios with bananas and a little sugar!

 

I have not craved anything particularly healthy but I too love cereal. For a while it was cinnamon life but now it's cheerios with sliced strawberries and bananas. I have also been craving big, fat marshmallows...weird. The other day I saw candy corn in the store and you better belive I bought a bag!

 

I craved cheesecake!

 

I want Twizzlers, or any type of gummy candy, and fruit this time. With my last pregnancy I craved OJ, which is odd, cause I don't like juice. I drank tons of it though. Tried it this time, and it tastes gross.

 

Cinnamon rolls, wateremelon, and lasagna.

 

I craved Blood marys w/out the vodka and extra tabasco! But I had to give them up after the heartburn kicked in!! I craved more food in the weeks after my delivery while I was starting my milk making process, something I never knew could happen. I craved chocolate and anything w/ peanuts or peanut butter... so peanut m&ms were a huge hit at my house. Now that I have been nursing for five months though I really feel like I am back to a normal diet.
