Postpartum Cravings?

RoseVA

Anyone have any? I didn't have any cravings while I was pregnant but since delivery I can't seem to get enough apple juice. I'm an apple juice fiend.

Oh my gosh, me too! It all started in the hospital after S was born (I swear hospitals have the best apple juice!) I'm also hooked on Raisin Bran

I was fine throughout pregnancy too but since then i have been binging on chocolates!! Not good..

I want apple juice now! It was fruit punch and chocolate cookies. I had that all the time for the first two months.

I agree with gwinny, all the foods!! My appetite is literally ridiculous with nursing, I feel like I seriously can never get enough food. I'm def more hungry than I ever was while pregnant!

I'm just really really hungry. I crave meals more than snacks or sweets. Carnitas, steak, eggs and sweet potatoes are my main cravings

Breakfast sandwiches! I hated any form of eggs before getting pregnant. Then I started craving breakfast sandwiches with egg. Still want them!

Anything and everything that is bad for me. While I was pregnant all I wanted was vegetables/salad. After I delivered my appetite has been out of control due to the nursing. I try to eat healthy but all I want is ice cream, potato chips, donuts etc. I've had to stop buying anything other than popcorn at the grocery store because my self control has become non existent.

Potatoes!!! And I am not a potato person. ALL THE POTATOES! Hashbrowns, fries, red potatoes, chips, mashed potatoes... ALL THE POTATOES!!

Sweets so badly it's been obsessive, although I found out I have a bug that's causing it. Medicine is easing it, but it was overpowering there for a while.

Just out of curiosity, what bug causes cravings for sweets?

Huh. I think I've had that bug for 35 years.

I may have eaten a bag of the Cadbury mini eggs yesterday. My teeth hurt from the crunchy shell. Totally worth it.

Chips chips and more chips... So bad.

My #1 post partum craving is graham crackers. I ate them non stop in the hospital and I still can't get enough! My appetite is ravenous! I am always starving during MOTN feedings. And sometimes I wake up just because I'm hungry. Like right now. LO is sound asleep and here I am eating graham crackers and bumping.

I want to go back to the two weeks PP where I had absolutely no appetite! Now I eat alllll the food allll the time! But the terrible thing I've been craving is jimmy dean pancake covered sausage on a stick. Looks like a corn dog. It's the quickest warm thing I can make in the morning (55 seconds in the microwave).

I have no desire whatsoever to go back to 2 weeks PP.

I had pregnancy cravings bad, combined with a constant upset stomach that only kept down empty calories. THANK GOD that is gone! I still love all the desserts, (and still have problems bingeing on them) but its nothing like it was when I was pregnant.

YES! I dip my graham crackers in milk though. Which probably wouldn't be so bad if it wasn't 2%.
