Craving Milk.... wtf?

Kriztyn

I thought for sure my first craving would be icecream or candy or something that would go straight to the hips... but MILK??? Guess I could be deficient in calcium? I could seriously drink 5 glasses a day.  Anyone else??

I never drink milk, as in I haven't had a drop in 7 years. As soon as I got pregnant it was all I wanted. Now I put some in cereal now and then. So weird.

Yes! It's so weird. I never used to drink milk. Now I'm sucking it down after I'm finished with my cereal and even drinking it straight sometimes. Never before.

I was a vegan for 4 years prior to getting pregnant...around week 13 all I wanted was milk, despite not being able to hold anything down.  Sadly, I'm still a vegan but my baby is not, and I eat dairy like its going out of style!

For me it's citrus. I seriously just want to cut lemons in half and eat them. I've been averaging 2-3 grapefruits a day, lol.

I'm also a citrus fanatic. Grapefruit s, oranges and right now cuties.

Yes, lots and lots of milk! I was going through easily a gallon a week during weeks 8-12 or so, and I still am finding myself having to buy a gallon every week and a half. I've switched from 2% to whole milk because that's what seems to taste the best to me right now, even though I always used to like 2% better.

I never drink milk, but I drank two glasses of milk before I knew I was pregnant. I knew something was up.

I'm all about cuties right now. I had 14 of them in two days.

I just paid $6 for a bag of cuties!! And $4 for a slice of watermelon!! Damn you, out of season fruit cravings!!!

snmetz7

Sprouts had cuties for $3 and I have been eating them like they are going out of style. But I have also been downing milk out of nowhere recently too.

Katiecave

Can't get enough milk! And hamburgers! Didn't really like either of those before this.

sarlimes34

i've been craving those cuties since early september! now that they are here i can't get enough!

Drank a half gallon in less than 24 hours. Just went out and bought a gallon. This baby likes his/her calcium!

I've always hated milk and actually rarely drank much of anything during meals. Now (22 wks) all I want is milk! Even tonight, my husband asked what I wanted with dinner and when I asked for milk, he walked away shaking his head saying "this is so weird.."

OMG milk and Pepperment Joe Joe's have been my weakness lately. I honestly can't tell which of the two I'm more in love with right now!

Me! But I always did!

I've been filling my milk craving with chocolate milkshakes.  DH and I got ice cream the other night and I still ordered a chocolate milkshake - even though we have the stuff to make them at home.

I've also had a few insane straight-up milk cravings.  One time on the way home from the grocery store I even comtemplated opening the gallon of milk and drinking straight out of it.

Every time I see this post I want to go grab a huge glass of ice cold milk!

Pre-pregnancy I'd have only an occasional small glass of milk by choice. Now, I want at least a glass or more each day. I assume that means I need it, like I need the hot sauce potato chips. :-)

Jesster11

@moomoojlm - hot sauce potato chips???  What brand and where might one find these (*hunting for car keys)?

WifeofaComposer

Lots and lots of milk - especially Ovaltine!! I'm eating a lot of cheese, too. Muenster and original Babybel are my favorite snacks. 

JuneDay2913

I go though a gallon every three days DH doesn't drink milk but on the A/S the baby's bones were a very nice bright white

I crave milk every pregnancy! Chocolate, regular doesn't matter. Sadly, I now have to drink lactose free since DS #3 made me lactose intolerant.

alysemci

I crave a huge glass of ice cold milk almost every night. I thought it was odd until I read it's one of the most common pregnancy cravings !

JennieCBBC

Yep this just happened! Chocolate chip cookies and a glass of milk. Yum.

moomoojlm

Hot Sauce potato chips by Herr's are available at some convenience stores and Kroger grocery stores. Yum!

Target has "holiday" chocolate mint milk. It tastes like thin mint cookies! Epic!

mrsB68

I finished a full gallon on milk between my post last night and tonight...so now the hot sauce potato chips are teasing me. Those sound deliciosus

They were sampling it last week and it was so good.

I went nuts craving chocolate milk my first pregnancy. I even temporarily stopped being lactose intolerant. I'd go through at least a pint a day. I was kind of looking forward to it this time, but it didn't happen again.

I so badly want to flag your post lmao.

Mamamonzo

We're buying 2 gallons a week and it's mostly for me! I've never hated milk but I didn't drink it like I do know. It's so good!

Sisimama10

We have this awful boxed milk at work. We are supposed to eat breakfast, lunch and snack with the class family style so I bring my own gallon of milk to work/school. Everyone teases me, but the milk they serve is disgusting. I used to just drink water, but I've had more of a taste for milk lately. It has to be really cold though.

britrundell

I've been drinking sooo much milk I'm almost embarrassed about it! Lol I drink almost a half gallon a DAY!!! I never used to drink milk before pregnancy, this obsession started about 2 months ago

HNRomance

I started adding extra calcium pills on top of my pre-natal and that cut down the milk craving but drink up ladies! Good fats and good calcium!

imogenisis

Yep same here! My dr says that the baby starts using up more calcium in the 2nd trimester. He actually has me taking additional calcium/d3 vitamins and I'm still craving milk like crazy!
