Mmmmmmm cake

O2girl

I don't have any but I just saw a pic on Pinterest of one and now I want one :-?

This is going to be a long 9 months if this crap keeps up. I don't even like sweets normally....... But holy moly have I been craving them.

What kinds of cravings has everyone else had?

I've had 99% food aversions this whole time which has surprised me. I thought for sure I'd be indulging in all kinds of stuff like cake, pies, and cookies,all the time but no. So perhaps I'll look on the bright side! I thought for sure I'd have gained like 50 pounds by now.

 

Cake does sound good though. Maybe I just need to eat cake for dinner!

Ditto on the food aversions. However, since I'm on modified bed rest some friends have been bringing me meals and the one tonight brought cake. Mmmm! In first tri I did have the occasional craving for cherry limeades but nothing else really.

So, far it's been mostly mild aversions to food in general. 

With one exception: Wendy's Chicken Asiago Club. I swear, I NEVER ate fast food before I got pregnant. I've been to Wendy's more times in the past two weeks than I have in the past 10 years!

I'm glad my office roommate knows I'm pregnant (and he has recently had to deal with a pregnant wife) so I don't have to explain my moans of ecstasy while eating my lunch. Mmmmm.... sooo goooood. 

Edit: One addition: Lemonheads. I started craving these a few days before my BFP (to the point where DH went and bought a supply of them so he didn't have to keep running to the store). Luckily, they are fantastic for my nausea.

I kinda wish I had food aversions. Most of my nausea that plagued me during my prep for my FET has left too. I guess I shouldn't wish for morning sickness.... But if I don't get food aversions or morning sickness I swear I'm going to gain 500lbs. It's so weird for me to have cravings...... Usually I might crave Taco Bell once a year.... But sweets.... NEVER

The only thing I've ever craved with both pregnancies is lemonade... which is SO great for my heartburn!

But recently with this one I cannot stop thinking about Pop Tarts. I usually find them repulsive but for whatever reason I crave them ALL THE TIME.

That and baja fish tacos from this little hole in the wall down the street from us.

Dang it... now I want a fish taco!!

I think my baby is going to turn out to be an ego waffle. I've always liked them but didn't eat them much but I've been through box after box!

I crave turkey cold cut sandwiches.... Have had four in the last five days!
My only food aversion so far is the tuna or sardines (which my coworker brings to work at least twice a week)... I didn't eat tuna or sardines before pregnancy --- but now even the smell makes me gag!!!

In my first tri, I wanted everything carbs!! And chocolate milk (which I hadn't wanted since I was a kid!). I didn't have food aversions really either (unless you count vegetables and most healthier options that I used to eat!). That seemed to wear off in the second tri and I went back to eating healthier foods!

This pregnancy I've craved fruit and sweet carbs pretty consistently.  Normally I can resist sweets pretty easily and now it's much harder.  The old wives' tale is that if you crave sweet things you're having a girl.  Turned out to be true for me.

Protein! I can't get enough of it! I swear, my mid morning snack could be steak!  I feel like I'm putting these babes at risk for high cholesterol for all the eggs I eat!

Aversions - almost everything else.  Mostly left overs.  The other night at our fave Mexican joint, I ordered the enchilada plate and was only able to eat the chicken and the cheese ones.  The beef and bean enchiladas TOTALLY turned my tummy and my ever so accommodating DH had to finish them for me! He was not complaining!

I'll echo the food aversions plus naseua has made eating or wanting to eat anything hard. I'm a chocolateholic and I want nothing to do with chocolate (or sweets). Things that I crave and can stomach protein and Chinese food! Although I can't be in the room when the meat/fish is being cooked. Also, I joke with DH (since he is American-Chinese) that these kids are his. . .I don't normally crave Chinese food.

This pregnancy has apparently been an invitation to eat sooo much weird junk.  My SO is a huge enabler too.  We have cans of freakin' Spaghetti-Os in our pantry at the moment! (No, we don't have any outside kids who would be eating stuff like that.)    I laughed when he bought them but now I'm like "Hmmm....I could probably eat those."

Right now there are three types of cake in the house.

I ate a Totino's Party Pizza this week (but that was mainly a 1st trimester thing.)

Donuts taste extra good lately and I daydream about Dunkin' Donuts all the time (there aren't any around where I live, which is probably a good thing.)

OH yeah! I forgot! Chocolate milk is a big one for me too! Even through the massive food aversions, something about a specific Midnight Chocolate milk - I can't get enough. If I want to really feel decadent, I put it in a wine glass. haha! I NEVER drank it before being pregnant. Glad it has the redeeming quality of containing protein.

I've had way more aversions than cravings too. The cravings I've had have tended to come in phases that can last anywhere from 2 days to about a week. I went through a vegetable soup phase and hubby went out and bought me like 20 cans of it... the next day, it was over and now we have a crap load of veggie soup that now gives me reflux lol.

The whole pregnancy though I have not been into meats, sweets or spicy stuff at all! I'm obviously being outvoted here because I usually love that stuff! I have been craving fruit like mad though! It's not really helping me put on the weight but the babies like it so they get it

It's so weird the stuff you eat in pregnancy that you normally would never do!
