I was reading somewhere yesterday that when you crave salty/savory is a boy. Sweet is a girl. Probably just an old wives tale. The reason I asked about the ultrasound was because supposedly under 140 is a boy above 140 is a girl. This held true for my two dd so hopefully there's some truth in it. The heart rate was 132 yesterday. Has anyone else head of these or believe them?

I've heard this. With my MC I craved sweets. My doctor knows the sex of that baby and I want to ask him because this pregnancy is so different. I don't want food at all really, but especially not sweets.
Our ultrasound had 123 Bpm. Have you heard how far along you should be to consider it low/high? I was only 6 weeks at out US.

I went yesterday & was 7w0d. The article was saying the best time to measure it is on a 10-12 weeks US.

Both of these are old wives tales and have no scientific fact.  You may even see some small fluctuations with the heart rate depending on if baby is active or resting.

I figured. Lol. But if it works out to be true, that would be awesome & my hubby can go get that snip-snip. Lol.

Old wives tale. I'm surprised Dunkin Donuts is still in business after being pregnant with my 2 boys.

Also my youngest had a higher heartbeat as well.

Only way to know for sure is an anatomy scan or until they pop out.

My last two I just couldn't wait. I'm trying not to find out this time until they emerge. So I'm justhm hyping myself up by playing with the ideas of these old wives tales. Lol.

Cheetos puffs in the afternoon, I can't think about eating other snack. Just Love them!!

You know that the wives tales say that craving salt means you are having a boy.

I literally ate pickles (well pickled okra) and ice cream yesterday before I even knew what I was doing.  We had no food in the house, and my cup of coffee sent me over the edge.

Tonight DH and I were arguing about whether to get Taco Bell or Taco Bueno.  Bueno is obvi the better option, but I am craving a cheesy Potato Burrito from Bell.  I won.

happywifemama

I am craving poutine and spaghetti. Fruit turns my stomach for some reason

lol @haltandsalute this is you!

I love that being pregnant means I get to dictate what we eat so much more!

It's funny, because we are the couple that normally argues about who HAS to pick.  Most of the time I'm so apathetic, but he throws out 10,000 options and I decline every single one.  But yes, I'm hoping to embody the attitude in your gif.

Pickle and salad

ShellyR

My nausea took a break and I just sent my sweet DH out for Thai take-out STAT. Pregnancy has some perks

CarolinaGirl2014

Before I knew I was pregnant I HAD to have chick fil a grilled nuggets dipped in mayo and hot sauce. I'm a freaking idiot for being shocked about this pregnancy.

Today... All the burgers. I want them all. And I don't eat that stuff.

BabygirlTaylor

Baked potato with butter and sour cream!!!! Also spinach with lots of apple cider vinager

darbyo2

Orange juice and mashed potatoes. If they are cheese covered mashed potatoes, even better.

mrssmhs

I'm 5wks4days and today after gym I could not get to the shops fast enough to buy brocolli!! All I wanted was stir fried brocolli and soya sauce (had to think of hubby at home also keen for lunch so just made a regular stir fry and added a whole extra head of brocolli). Not sure if this is going to be my "thing" this pregnancy... At least it's healthy I guess

@ABvintage‌ my H always makes me pick where to eat which makes me stabby because sometimes I just don't want to choose! It's worse now that I'm pregnant, since he doesn't want to step on my toes.

danaalex

I'm going to beg my husband to drive to Bernkastel later to pick up Indian food. I really, really, REALLY want it. But then I think a burger would be lovely. 

I dunno, I've been nauseous as crap for two days and almost hurled this morning, but right now I feel ok so GIMME ALL THE FOOD.

carabassa27

While still in bed this morning I casually mentioned to H that I wanted bacon, and only bacon. Which is probably something I've never said before in my life.

Then when I got out of the shower, he had surprised me by running to the store, buying bacon and cooking it for me. 

Not bad, H, not bad.

melbrown712

I want cheese so badly right now!

PixiePixinator

So I havnt been too into food these last few days, but I have cinnamon raisin peanut butter at my desk to put on crackers (mostly so I eat more than just carbs) and it is DELiCOUS

heatherlynn1894

I was craving cranberries, which I normally have no desire for, ever. When I got home that day I poured myself a glass of cranberry juice and my husband looked at me and said "you're pregnant".

sarawalks

everything. I want to eat everything.

FarmWife14

Mustard!!

cookiedough22

Serious question here- is a craving just a regular want? Like how do you know it's a "craving" vs having a taste for something.

I haven't had any cravings yet

mhaas28

Omelets! 

JennyLynn6785

I just had some potato bacon soup. I don't know that I'd call it a craving for sure, but I smelled it cooking in the Starbucks cafe while I was in Barnes & Noble and needed to have it.

carabassa27

@cookiedough22 - I imagine there's a lot of overlap between pregnancy cravings and just normal wanting. I'd consider a craving a desire for a particular food that doesn't go away until you eat it, and is potentially out of the ordinary for you.

For example, in the past few days I really really wanted a burger and then bacon. It was the only thing that sounded appetizing. This is unusual, since we typically cook vegetarian at home and for meat I stick to chicken. So, craving!

I don't crave out of the blue, but if I see something that appeals to me, I get totally fixated on it. For example, yesterday I went in to a convenience store and saw beef jerky and then could think of nothing else until I finally caved and got some beef jerky. I went to our cafeteria today thinking I was getting salad until I saw the enchiladas and even as I was walking around the salad bar all I could think of were the enchiladas, so i got them instead...which I might regret before the end of the day.

Omg....me 2. No cravings really..I luckily have no MS so eating isn't a prob. But when I see something sometimes I fixate and obsess. Last week it was a Wood N Tap bison burger-- they're local to connecticut. If you never had one Google and read and prepare to have your mouth water lol

leighalou91

All things that are unhealthy. Especially crappy fast food burgers and such.

Meat! I hadn't eaten red meat in over 10 years, and then last week ate steak! I couldn't believe it myself.

Me too!! Had my first steak EVER last weekend and it was deeeee-licious. Other than that, carbs carbs carbs just like when I am PMSing!

Hey supposedly you aren't supposed to eat red meat unless it's well done.. All I want is a medium rare steak..

dilutedsanity0

Swedish fish candy... But then cup a noodle.. No idea

lovepink2007

Did you know they sell them in stores now!?

myfriendscallmemeg

The sandwich shop put bacon on my sandwich yesterday and it made me all sorts of want to hurl-y. When I'm normally a super carnivore. I'm mainly having aversions and have to find something that sounds edible vs something I HAZ TO HAF RIGHT MEOW.

MrsCamo

Yes, you can find the Cheddar Bay biscuits at Walmart. I don't think they're quite as good, but it could all be in my head.

I'm craving meat, protein! That's the only thing that looks good when I browse the store or snack options at the gas station. And I may have gotten a foot long meatball sandwich from Subway, twice already this week...
