Cravings

bookqueen

I know it's early on, but is anyone else having cravings yet?

I can't stop eating Bologna, mustard (on things of course), and sour stuff!

AggieKim

Not yet. I didn't have many, if any, cravings with my son and I was sorta upset about that. The only thing that stood out was I like supreme pizzas when usually I do not. I haven't eaten one since I was pregnant last! I did have desires to eat cereal with milk during a week that said baby's bones were growing and wanted a lot of red meat during a week that said something that made sense to prevent anemia. It was so lame.

My first pregnancy the only thing I craved was cheese, cheese everything. Lol! And I had an aversion for hot dogs. My second pregnancy was an aversion for raw chicken....yuck. No aversions yet this time, but my cravings may change when/if the nausea kicks in.

I haven't noticed any yet but my nose is getting increasingly more sensitive.

Lemon flavored things, like sherbet, Luna bars, and drinks. More than cravings, nothing sounds good. (Except lemons). And chocolate has become way too rich!

I actually feel like I have a decreased appetitive but it might be because I've had nothing but being pregnant on my brain

MrsJ2522

All I got was a stupid headache. Wish I was getting cravings!

I haven't had any cravings yet this time. With my first pregnancy I couldn't get enough cinnamon toast crunch. I usually had it when i woke up and as an after dinner snack. After I had my daughter I wanted nothing to do with it.

No cravings for me yet. But I have started sucking down water like no tomorrow, I need my very cold ice water near me at all times.  

My last pregnancy I was so so sick during first tri that I could hardly eat anything, and my cravings didn't start until after that was over, so maybe it'll be the same this time. Last time all I wanted was pizza, raspberries, and ice cream.

Aww, feel better! Lavender is supposed to help with headaches

This, can't get enough ice water! I need to flavor it so I don't get bored of it too quickly.

I haven't had many cravings- but I am starting to have aversions. Chocolate doesn't even sound good (blasphemy, I know!) and the smell of some cooked meats is making me nauseated. I have a stomach bug that I likely picked up from the ER (no vomiting but super yellow diarrhea- sorry guys, TMI). So that might be influencing things a bit! I am drinking coconut water and regular water and the nurse has me on the BRAT diet. I hope I crave veggies or something if I do get cravings!

MamaFroFro

I can't get enough Kombucha! I'm either drinking it or wishing I was most of the day. And it helps so much with the nausea I've been having! Last pregnancy all I ever wanted was biscuits and gravy. Haven't touched them since and never ate them before. And I gained like 44574 lbs

Sounds about right, haha

Any of you veterans think that there would be any red flags associated with drinking protein drinks for a meal with plant-based protein, fruits, and veggies or a super green powder? I'm thinking I will plan to do this at least twice a week maybe 3 times

Sprinkles07

No real cravings just yet. I am getting hungry more often though and I think I may already be feeling some round ligament pain. @tboslet Check your local dollar tree for a cooling face mask. I picked one up that has a bunch of little gel beads in it and it's amazing for headaches! (Especially since I'm trying to lay off any pain killers.) 

txbrideinblue

With baby #1, I craved ice!  So weird, but chewing ice was the most wonderful thing to me, so much so that when I got preg with #2, I was all like, "Dang...I hope I crave ice again!" lol!  I had zero cravings with #2.

Now that I'm preg with #3, I am definitely not craving anything but I am always hungry and always mildly nauseated.  It's like having a hangover.

inameenabeena

I'm craving cherries like whoa right now!

MrsJ2522

@Sprinkles07 thanks for the tip! I had a bit of some coffee and I think the caffeine helped. Miss my Excedrin though!

libellula03

Salt. Like salami and olives and feta cheese. So. I guess brine.

mrs3615

Ok had my first craving today: white rice with peanut butter and soy sauce. I have never had this in my life but it was delicious- even DH agreed!

Disclaimer: again, I don't know if this was pregnancy related or just me seeking specific nutrients after having a stomach bug. If it continues, I'll let you know!

inameenabeena

Okay, this kid is a health nut. I ran out last night to buy cherries and nectarines, and this morning I made my husband stop at Whole Food so I could pick up arugula and avacado for a salad. (I almost never eat salad, I prefer cooked veggies.)

Hope that this keeps up, it'll make sticking to the GD diet so much easier!

CompProf

Yesterday I would have said I hadn't had any cravings yet, but today. . .
Onion rings (not just any onion rings, very specific onion rings)
Shrimp and grits (also specific)
Lemon pound cake (more general, but must be better than the crap I tried after lunch today.)

cassey910

So far just Mexican. With DS all I wanted was tomato soup and grilled cheeses.

bbax44

I also I'm consistently hungry every 2-3 hours. Feel like I'm a total pig lately. Nausea comes and goes throughout the day. Cravings are anything spicy really: Mexican and refried beans, buffalo wings.. if it makes my mouth hot, I'm in heaven. Salads and rocky road ice cream. That's about it so far. :P

PaniaO

Ditto on the lemon. Lemon anything. When I'm truly hungry, I want eggs (hot, not hard-boiled) or black beans. And for the first time in fifteen years, I enjoyed the hell out of a burger and keep craving another when I smell meat! So bizarre for me. (The bun was gluten-free, but the meat/starch combo screwed up my stomach anyway for a couple days, unfortunately. Not sure I'll do it again.) Today I've really experienced that nothing-sounds-good thing I've heard others mention, so that's pretty unfortunate, too. I'm usually always in the mood for a good salad. It seems like when it's hot during the day, I'm nauseated thinking about much other than super-lemony snacks.

Sprinkles07

This week I've craved subway and Chinese. I got my subway (toasted!!) no Chinese yet though.

LuckyInIreland

Spicy and Mexican food! I think almost everything I've eaten since conception has been spicy.

THIS!  EVERYTHING LEMON really.  Best Drink ever?  French Lemonade. . . (Carbonated lemonade . . . most famous brand is Loreena.)   

jessybelle80

So far just mashed potatoes with gravy and fried chicken. With my 1st I wanted Mexican food (the spicier the better) and slushies from sonic!

Wurrkingurrl

Blueberries, and nutella and strawberry jelly sandwiches!  OMG, I just finished one, it was heavenly!

Wurrkingurrl

@Compprof I don't know if you like to bake but i have a lemon poundcake recipe at home that (to me) is delicious.  I will post when I get home tonight if you want

christinam2014

I really would like some Starbucks and Japanese! I had my husband pick up some waffle house for me the other day. Mostly food a versions for me. Pizza sounds disgusting although I normally love it. Also, I made some mac and cheese and it was gross. So was a pickle I tries to eat.

candace4erich

Not any hardcore "cravings" yet, but I do have fried chicken on the brain a lot! I definitely have an aversion to extremely sweet things, though. Usually I'm a super sweet tooth...but now I can't even stomach fruit that is too sweet.

brushesnbrunch

Seems I have more aversions than cravings. I have noticed I want mostly fresh fruits and veggies. DH picked up teriyaki for dinner last night and all i could muster was the side of rice and the steamed veggies. The thought of meat makes me sick right now.

ErinC1014

So far, Mexican food and avocados.

In other words, I've eaten about 5 pounds of guacamole.

purplepenguin3

I have wanted all the salty things.  chips, ramen, french fries.  I really want fried pickles but i haven't had them yet...maybe tonight.

@Wurrkingurrl I love to bake, and have a great recipe too, but I'd love to see yours and compare. No, I'm being lazy on acount of it being 90 plus degrees here with 80% humidity lol

Shatzegirl

I had been craving Doritos for a few days and had some yesterday which satisfied it. Now all I can think about is clam chowder!

kris10mac

Mexican food. Mexican food. And more Mexican food.


Oh and Chick Fil A.

Ramen was my JAM growing up!
