Anyone had WEIRD cravings??

Share 'em!

I shall start and share mine

First trimester, I craved mashed potatoes mixed with salsa.

I also craved sauerkraut mixed with baked beans and macaroni and cheese.

And, currently, cheddar crackers combined with black jelly beans.

I've been craving jalapeños with berries lately.

Wow all of those are beyond weird. I think I'm going to enjoy this thread. And I have nothing to add. My husband has almost been disappointed as he always said I would have weird cravings while pregnant but I've had none!!

I haven't had any real cravings either. I mean I do like the stereotypical pickles, but I liked those before too.

Ice! I'm sure I drive everyone around me nuts by crunching it all the time.

The first and second one don't sound too bad... the third one is definitely weird lol. I was craving crackers with tuna, sliced cheese, and olives on it

Not really odd but red delicious apples.  I eat at least 2 daily, sometimes up to 5 a day.  I can't get enough of them.

I've been going absolutely nuts for ice for the last few months. I think someone said it can be due to an iron deficiency and sure enough after my last blood test my OB told me that despite my daily iron supplements that I am still short on Iron.  Other than that I really want clam cakes and Taco Bell ( we don't have taco bell here... )

Haha same here--hubby is so sad!

Not a super weird craving, but I want Greek salad with shredded chicken like every day. I think I've eaten it like 5x a week for the past 2 months.

Can't say I've had odd cravings. But in my first tri I really could not get enough citrus and it just tasted heavenly to me. And that is back--I'm eating a lot of grapefruit and clementines again...

townsley2015

I can't get enough of fruit loops. No other sugary cereal has to be fruit loops... It's seriously all I want to eat. I obviously force myself to eat healthier choices, but once I day I go for it, and it's THE BEST!!

I craved raw potatoes for a long time. I didn't end up eating any but I really really wanted to. lol 

yogahh

First tri, for dinner one night I was craving a bagel with scallion cream cheese, a grapefruit and mint chocolate chip ice cream. That was probably the oddest mix I've had

First and second trimester, I craved cheese quesadillas with hot salsa and Lucky Charms (not together). No cravings at all really third trimester.

Honestly I had more issues with aversions in 1st & 3rd trimester than anything else.

Mac and cheese with ketchup on it  . Also there is a dip I've been craving that could be considered strange - you take a block of cream cheese and pour jalepeno and raspberry jam/preserves over it and eat it with chips or crackers. I'm digging the hot and sweet combo. 

TXmamatobe

@saladflambe those are definitely some interesting combos! I personally would rather live out on the streets than eat a black jelly bean so I commend you for your bravery

This dip you're describing is basically everything I want!

Not quite the same but the TGI Fridays Jalapeño poppers in the frozen food section come with a sweet dipping sauce that sounds similar to this. I actually had it the other day and it was the perfect mix of sweet and spicy. So if in a pinch it might be a good substitute.

Lucky Charms.  And @Kurrant now I want clam cakes.

I was looking forward to pregnancy cravings...but I've mainly had nonstop aversions from day 1.

Me too. My diet is so limited which I hate. I keep saying I just want to eat normally again!!

Golden Grahams and apples with peanut butter. And of course ice cream.

VS2016

Definitely not a weird craving but someone posted about a week ago about eating buster bars from DQ and it was on my mind ever since.  I had DH go out and buy a box yesterday, best move ever! Yum!

camillaandcarson

I ran out of the apples (have to be a particular type) so at 4:45 am when I couldn't sleep I drove to the store and bought more.

Right across the street was a donut shop. So I bought $10.00 worth of donuts, ate 2, left some for my family as a surprise to find in the morning, and stored the rest hidden in back of the freezer.

Kraft Mac n cheese, must be the spirals and cereal. Sometimes together, like mac n cheese with a side of cereal, not literally mixed

Haribro cola gummies. I'm sitting at work literally thinking about them. I'm probably going to sneak out and go to the grocery while my boss is out at lunch! Is this what addiction feels like? Why can't I crave something healthy!

jholkema

Lately I've been craving snow. I don't want it to snow outside i just want to eat it

I looooove those!!! Mmmmm

I really really want some morel mushrooms.  Like right now...

cgg0707

I've been craving white rice with tuna and mayo...weird! 

NinnyJean

Not necessarily weird but all weekend I wanted strawberries and watermelon. We went to the store and got watermelon and then found out they were all out of watermelon. I asked the produce guy and he said how the warehouse was out so they didn't get any. He clearly saw me about to cry because he was like I'm really sorry for disappointing you.

I can't stop eating ice. I considered buying a snow cone machine the other day so I could just eat the flavourless ice shavings. The worst part is that I literally crave eating a cup of ice from the ice machine at the hospital (I work there, but have been off for about a month) I have literally considered going to ER in the middle of the night and just asking the triage nurse for a cup of ice. 

clbness

During part of my 1st and 2nd trimesters, I craved pickled okra.  And soups...I was making homemade soups and chilis a couple days a week.  Lately, it's been PB & J sandwiches and grilled cheese sandwiches.  And apples.  And...

Pascal86

@codeeye don't know if you're aware of this yet, but craving ice is a common pica when you're anemic, I would mention it to your doctor next time you go. There was a year in college when I basically chewed ice around the clock. Got my blood checked finally because I had mono, and turned out I was really anemic. 

wamam027

I just realized I've been eating my 6 dates a day while drinking my raspberry leaf tea while eating jalapeño kettle cooked chips. Talk about weird combo

kbrands7

@txmamatobe I finally made the raspberry jalapeño cheddar dip...it was amazing and I'm pretty sure I want it every day now! Thank you!

Yes!! Now I need some! 

wsgjmw1

Not weird but pancakes ... I want them everyday 

dsmith211

Not necessarily weird, but I just decided I really want some sparkling apple juice and popsicles. It could also have to do with the fact that it feels like it's almost 90 outside and those sound really refreshing right now.

okcountrygirl

I don't know how weird it is but me and a pregnant co-worker have both been eating chicken salad sandwiches and Cheetos for lunch everyday for the past few weeks... Pregos gotta stick together. Everyone makes fun of us but their just jealous. Lol. I've also been eating a lot of orange sherbet... I really don't even like sherbet but apparently my baby boy does...

folamij

I want all the veggie baked beans (no pork in them) and peanut butter bars. Really peanut butter anything. I've never liked peanut butter....
