How early do food cravings start?

I am at 6 weeks and I feel like I've been craving really fatty/ sugary foods. I also feel hungry even right after I've just eaten. Am I making these symptoms up?

I'm around 6 weeks. The thing is I see a picture of food, and I automatically want it. Lol.

I'm five weeks pregnant (just found out) but I've noticed I've been craving salty foods for about three weeks! It seems too early to have cravings, huh?

gurleymomma

It can start as early as close to a bfp i guess.thats how i figured mine out before i missed my period.a few days before all i wanted to eat was gravey.extreamly weird i know but it was all i could think about.didnt have any cravings with my first child so this is strange for me.

Ceebeeg713

It does seem early! I usually eat pretty healthy..... But I had ice cream and pizza last night for dinner (in that order lol)

Mine has always started right away.

Fried foods and sweets, om nom nom.

It could be this early! I haven't had any yet (or turn-offs) but I'm sure they are coming. Last time I could NOT eat or even look at chicken at about 6 weeks and that lasted for a few months. I'm hoping the cravings kick in soon so I will have an excuse to indulge

Mine was right away. All I wanted was salty foods for the first two weeks. Now all I want is light sweets (fruit, yogurt, etc,)

Yesterday the baby NEEDED fried pickles, so of course, I obliged.

I'm craving salty stuff as well at 5 wks. A couple of days ago I just had to have cheese dip from our local mexican restaurant. I craved the same with my son...maybe another boy?

MrsHussey11

I have to have sweets at the end of every meal and sometimes in between! LOL I hope that's craving and not just poor eating habits developing (its been about 2 weeks now).

christieep

I never craved anything with Baby #1. My husband was always hoping I would so we would have an excuse for junk food. I'm curious what may happen this time, no cravings yet.

I absolutely HAD TO HAVE nacho cheese with my chicken strips around five weeks. It wasn't bad. :-)

jenniferroshto

I've done that too! Now I want some...haha!

danagmauro

I want everything with cheese!!!! I would eat pizza for bfast lunch and dinner if I didn't care about our health lol

I'm 6 weeks today and I seem to want cheese with everything. If it doesn't have cheese on it, I'm not interested. Totally gone off sweet things this week too.

Marcella05

I'm feeling the cheese thing, too. I think I've had cheese every day for a week now. And had cubes of cheese for breakfast on Tuesday. My goodness!

I crave red lobster when I got it the garlic was a little too much I don't think I be there in a long time and my favorite foods was nasty

lynseyadamson

I want fishfingers a lot. I was lying in bed one night (just before my 1st BFP) and it was all I could think about!! I was actually salivating thinking o eating a fishfinger sandwich!!! X

I have never joined in on any of these blogs but i'm so excited. I found out yesterday that i'm pregnant, I am 4 weeks today (according to my last period) and I am starving like every two hours. I try and hold off eating a little in order to fit in my wedding dress this Friday but if i don't eat, i start feeling crappy. I hope being this hungry is normal. I am also nauseous already

bridetobe9132013

I also noticed that I do not like salty things lately.

The only thing I have craved thus far is Mint Chocolate Chip ice cream with Chocolate Sprinkles.  I it's because it's my favorite and I am usually always eating healthy and only allow the occasional splurge.  Now there's no stopping me.  Just had a cup full from Cold Stone.

I started craving savoury food before I even knew I was pregnant. I'm in a love affair with red onions right now, which is weird since I've never been an onion fan.

Peaceb0ne

I've been loving plums and cantaloupe. I feel like I've been having more aversions than cravings though. I tried to eat guacamole and chips earlier, and the guacamole tasted nasty and bitter. I usually love all things avocado, so that was pretty weird.

cmatteis

I am 6 weeks too. I am not really craving anything, but I have to eat tiny meals NONSTOP not to feel nauseous.

stiches221

I just want a big ol burger!! Did with the last preg too.

Menrandes

I've wanted spaghetti for dinner for the past 3 nights.  That's rough because I have celiac, so we had to get a bunch of rice pasta.  Seriously, anything else was incredibly unappealing.

Given my current state of limbo, I'm taking that as a good sign!

dragossoul84

I have been craving wings like crazy which is earlier than my first pregnancy I didnt start to crave anything until the end of the first trimester the first time

Ldmoulton

Omg! All this talk of food just made my tummy talk. Ha! It just hit today. I am 5 weeks today.

mer313131

I'm not craving anything really, didn't with my first until the 2nd tri. But I am hungry shortly after eating.

Me too. Snacking all day long!

jaclynnn

I haven't craved anything yet with this one, but I've had aversions to anything sweet. Which is crazy, cause with my 1st all I craved was sweets!

peachysweet4

I had to have grilled zucchini with ranch to dip in last night. So good!!
