milk craving

i haven't had hardly any cravings this entire pregnancy except the occasional sprite craving. but today I saw 1/4 gallon of milk in the fridge while I was making supper took it out an chugged it. I've never really liked milk my DH drinks it like crazy used to go through a gallon in a couple days now we have been having to buy it every other day cause I've been drinking it too. Ill be 39 weeks tomorrow and have been crampy the last two days does the milk craving have anything to do with labor =)) lol I think I'm looking for any excuse to think I'm going to have LO before her due date!

Re: milk craving

  • Just last week I started craving milk! I have drank probably a gallon in the past 5 days by myself. I'm 36w2d (I think I'm going to go have a glass right now!!!)

  • This has been my biggest craving...ice cold milk!!! I chug it straight from our jug! (My husband yells at me for it all the time!) Don't know why I'm craving it so much. Before pregnancy, I was never much of a milk drinker...but ever since my 3rd trimester, that's all I want!

  • Same!!!! We are going through 3 gal a week now which is unheard of for us.
  • Yes!  I knew I was low on calcium earlier in the pregnancy but just couldn't get myself to drink more milk...now I am drinking a ton!  Also eating lots of cereal with milk and blueberries:)
  • With my first I craved milk like the world was running out of it. I was always looking for an excuse to have milk - extra in my cereal, chocolate milk for dessert, extra in my coffee. I think it came with each of his growth spurts. I've been craving it more and more as I near the end of this pregnancy.
  • So funny you say the Sprite too. I've been loving me some Sprite (although I obviously keep my soda intake to a minimum, but I just chug milk all the time and it can be with any meal. I can't get enough of it. I add some Hershey syrup to it as a little sweet tooth "snack". The good thing about milk is it fills me up a little!!
  • Oh my gosh I thought this was just me! I've had this become a thing for me too. We had a problem with having too much milk here at the house. It was going to expire before we could even put a dent in it. So I started drinking it more than just in the morning so as to not waste it. Now I'm addicted...
  • I love milk so much these days. I feel like at least half of my meals are cereal and milk. It's too hot to cook and my hunger usually hits me out of nowhere. I'm also a straight from the jug chugger but boyfriend does it too so I get away with it :)
  • I cannot get enough milk this pregnancy!  I used to only have it in cereal and with the occasional chocolatey sweet.  Now I drink 2 or more cups a day!
  • Yuck. I hate milk! I hate the taste, when it touches me, and the smell!! I've never liked it, lol, so it would be super weird to crave it. I HAVE however been craving other dairy products. I ate half a bag of shredded cheddar cheese the other day with my fingers. I loooove cheese, cottage cheese, ice cream, and yogurt lately. It would be totally wild if I tried a glass of milk n couldn't get enough of it all of a sudden!!! :))

  • I have been craving milk these last few weeks. I have a huge glass daily and drink out the bottle when I want a sip or two... I even bought 2 x 2 litres yesterday cause I knew I'd finish them both in a few days. Usually I buy of one 2 litre at a time. I think it's also helping get with the heartburn. I never ever Had heartburn before being preggers. I love my milk! I've gone off acidic citrus naartjies and am hooked on milk haha...
  • I'm usually lactose intolerant, but a few weeks ago all I wanted was cereal with milk. So I gave in and it was amazing. What's more amazing is that it didn't kill my stomach! I've been able to eat 1 bowl of cereal with milk a week this whole third trimester and it is amazing!!
  • I'm in the same boat, but I've been mixing in strawberry syrup! Omg, so good!!! Tastes like melted strawberry ice cream... Mmm
