These cravings are no joke!

CHD84

I always thought pregnancy cravings were kind of a joke.. it's like, yeah I get it... you really want something. But boy was I wrong. I keep having these intense cravings where the thought of having anything else makes me want to throw up, but eating  _________ is the ONLY thing that I can even consider eating, so I HAVE to have it. And it ends up making me feel better.

It's making things pretty frustrating, but I usually make it happen because I want to feel better. And of course, I never crave anything healthy.

Please tell me I'm not the only one? And for fun, list your "have to" cravings.

So far mine have been:
- Chipotle
- Cheese Baked Potato from Wendy's
- Egg & Cheese on Toast (in the mornings for breakfast)

And now.. Cinnamon Toast Crunch with cold milk. I'm considering going to the store to get it, but I'm hesitant because I feel so pukey right now. I'm also considering doing Einsteins drive through for a cinnamon raisin bagel.. I must be "needing" cinnamon for some reason.

Mmmmmm chipotle

I really just want a apple pie from McDonald's which is weird because I never eat McDonald's

@CHD84, we have the same cravings. I eat fried eggs, with Mayo, on toast every morning. I also crave anything spicy, especially salsa. Finally, I crave steak sometimes. On occasion I crave peanut butter, and yesterday I was able to satiate my fudge craving that had been going on for over a week. Citrus is another thing I couldn't get enough of for three days. I no longer crave citrus. Looks like I mission accomplished that one. LOL.

I put cinnamon in my Teecino in the mornings, or when I have decaf coffee I put cinnamon and honey in it. I love my cinnamon right now, too!

I've been craving really bad stuff..

-McDonalds chicken nuggets and frys with hot mustard.

-Cake and ice cream, like I'd crash a 4 year olds birthday just to get my fix

-anything with sourcream but mostly burritos (which doesn't help with the gas)

-salt anything with salt for the love of god give me salt!

When I write it all out I'm ashamed... So thanks a lot.

CHD84

mrscrcalli last night when I was going to bed I started thinking about McDonalds chicken nuggets and how I need them in my life. And YES to salt!! Cinnamon Toast Crunch is the first sweet thing I've HAD to have.

padma55 I had half an orange this morning and it tasted like it was the best thing I have ever eaten. Now just a couple hours later it sounds disgusting to me

my husband and I watch a lot of shows on the food network (e.g. diners, drive-ins and dives & chopped). last night I told him we couldn't watch them anymore (or had to cut way back) or else he was going to be flying all over the country to find me these foods, which once I hear about them, I MUST have. I've been craving a crab Rangoon pizza from Des Moines for 3 days now. I'm going to have to find a way to make it myself because I NEED it.

 

I used to travel all over the country 3 weeks out of each month for work. These cravings are really brutal because I'm craving things I've had once in my life and are no way attainable. My poor husband is trying so hard, especially since I just weighed myself today and I've lost 3 more pounds. Uggg....I'm not doing so well at this eating thing.

I woke up in the middle of the night wanting a french dip sandwich last night. First official craving for this lady.

Luma88

@CHD84 - I totally felt the same way too, especially since with my last baby I had no cravings.  I was convinced it was all made up.  But now, I feel like I have some superhuman power where I can taste food if I just think about it - it's crazy!!!!

twinlove314

@playingonadream crab Rangoon pizza?! Oh my goodness! That sounds amazing!!!!

cjpell0

All I want is chicken parm specifically from a place that's now closed back in my home town and the idea that I can't have it kind of makes me want to cry

ajduke18

I am really craving homemade baked Mac and cheese

Steph3987

I'm craving pizza...all day and all night! All I want for lunch and dinner is pizza...and I justify this by telling myself it can have veggies and protein!!! Oh pregnancy problems you've got the best of me!

Btterfly307

I haven't had any real cravings this time. Last pregnancy I LIVED off of sour patch kids - I HAD to have them!!!

lindz324

Pizza, French fries, egg and cheese in toast, pickles

Dinner time!

babybarnes87

All I want for dinner most nights is Annie's mac 'n cheese. So easy, cheap and bland!

twinlove314

Today, I woke up from a nap needing homemade egg salad with black olives and a pickle!

sf214902

I have a craving of the day and they are all over the place! Pasta, American cheese, ceaser dressing, now fish sandwich from anywhere! Sad thing is I vomited up a sandwich earlier from a nonrelated smell and I want another.

nycgirlkat

I'm with the Chipotle crew. Getting a burrito bowl tonight with chips & guac!

I'm dying to have a Taco Bell Mexican Pizza, but haven't indulged yet.

And I bought a box of Mac 'n cheese, although I really want Trader Joe Mac 'n cheese and quite frankly anything else from Trader Joe!

LCLemke

I've been having cravings like crazy! Sad part is I'm on a diet for gestational diabetes so I can't have anything I want! Ahhhh! Being diagnosed with it at 9 weeks is AWFUL

I thought I was crazy for feeling cravings this early on. But I have had serious issues where something I have always loved (cinnamon buns, pickles, hash browns) hits my tongue and I want to throw up. I've had a lot of issues with sickness in the morning, afternoon, evening and everytime in between and the only thing that makes me feel better is salty foods. I try to eat crackers but chips really hit the spot everytime.

lyndsey774

French onion soup, immediately

Stace0616

I've been craving everything that can be dipped ranch dressing (fiancé is proud baby already takes after him). Anything with salt, really. The other day I saw a cube of Himalayan pink salt at the fancy grocery store and wondered if licking it would calm the cravings. Tonight's dinner is going to be Vietnamese noodle salad with grilled pork, shrimp and egg rolls. OMG I can't wait! Nearly cried about it at lunch because dinner was soooo far away.

absmama

i'm so glad i'm not the only one craving junk! that's all i want.  my cravings are straight annoying! to make it worse (but it's actually a really good thing..) i'm gluten free so i can't just get a pizza or mcdonalds.  although i haven't gotten real fast food (like anywhere with a drive thru) in probably 6 or 7 years and i've scoped out exactly what i'm allowed to have from taco bell and i'm going to get it today!  oh man.  although, i tend to crave veggies at dinner time.  i made a bag of broccoli from trader joes last night and ate about 3/4 of it with my dinner!

Clsmart027

With my first it was pasta sauce, eggs and onions. Second it was cinnamon rolls and fruit. I couldn't stand the smell of meat. With my third its veggies, eggs and cornbeef hash. And with this one morning/afternoon sickness takes over my body.

Kyllarae

I just got the biggest craving for rice krispie treats! Also I've been craving a pita sandwich with honey mustard all afternoon. Pretzels are still a big one of mine too and have been for the past three days lol.

BiggerinRealLife

I want a Grande Strawberries and Creme Frappuccino with extra strawberries and add mocha sauce in the worst way. But I feel bad bc I used to work at The Bux and haaaaaaated making Frappuccinos. Oh well! Blend, barista, blend!

Olive Garden minestrone soup and salad... Or cinzettis... One of those is undoubtedly going to happen tonight so I should really just get up and go.

Charlyse

Applesauce with toasted bread

Jello with fruit

Anything with peanut butter

Sliced apples with Cracker Barrel white sharp cheddar cheese slices.

onyx1983

fried potatoes does the magic for me,with fresh pepper and onions. Fried in a way u cant resist

Luckie519

I am another one for Cinnamon Toast Crunch.
Also, Mexican.  Pizza, not like Dominoes, like from a mom and pop place.  Also, buffalo wings. 

I just asked the hubby to go to Moe's.

Ok....it's great to know that I'm not the only one with the weir cravings

J&NL

I have to eat everything based on what I'm craving at the time because everything else makes me sick to my stomach when I think about it. 

WifeofaComposer

Chocolate milk, any kind of cheesecake, blueberry muffins (specifically the really crappy ones from our local grocery store...), and gooey tuna salad with celery, , chives, pickles, lots of cracked black pepper, and arugula in a pita pocket.
