1. What are some of your favorite foods?  Spaghetti! I love all things pasta, but my dads 3 day spaghetti sauce at christmas is my number 1 choice! I 

2. What foods have been your go-to's this pregnancy? Ice cream, or anything like it (popcicles, ice, etc.) and juice.  I love orange juice right now, but before I was pregnant, I hated the smell.  I couldnt be around someone who was eating an orange, but when I got pregnant, all I wanted was a big glass.  Ive had some form of OJ every day since.  

3. What is your favorite pickle? Home made bread and butter pickles.  I HATE dill pickles, but Bread and Butter are amazing.  I can also go for a good sweet gherkins. 

4. What are you most looking forward to eating postpartum? Drinking a MARGARITA!  I didnt really have to give up any food to eat, as I dont like raw sushi and rarely eat any of it to begin with.  I am not a huge deli meat person, and I dont like soft cheese, so all the big no no's were easy for me to avoid.  But as the summer has warmed up, all I have wanted was to sit on my porch with a margarita in hand and chips and guac on the table! #soon!

Pasta

Pizza
Hummus

Fruit
Cupcakes
French fries
Donuts

3. What is your favorite pickle?
Not a fan of pickles at all

4. What are you most looking forward to eating postpartum?
Subway. Since deli meat has to be warmed up during pregnancy and I don't like warm deli meat, I've completely given up deli meat. I'm so glad my hospital has a Subway in it. Also I've really missed wine. If DH can manage, he said he'll sneak me wine into the hospital to have after delivery.

4. What are you most looking forward to eating postpartum? Just looking forward to not having to worry about what I can eat- like grabbing a sandwich. But, I am excited to go back to the full Mexican foods without the potential acid reflux-no sleep reaction.

DeansGirl14

1. What are some of your favorite foods? I always say my "death row last meal" is a traditional Sunday roast with Yorkshire pudding. Unfortunately the US pretty much sucks at making authentic "Yorkie pud" though. The traditional meal has the pudding filled with roast beef and gravy and accompanied by roast carrots and potatoes at minimum, sometimes green beans too. 

2. What foods have been your go-to's this pregnancy? I do keep mentioning that I've always had a sweet tooth, so my pregnancy food is really just more of the same, more often- ice cream, donuts, and smoothies at a higher volume than my non-pregnant life. Surprisingly to me, I didn't have one single weird or uncontrollable craving- nothing like the stereotypical pickles and ice cream at midnight, lol. DH never had to make one single "gotta have it right now" craving run for me. 

3. What is your favorite pickle? Standard dill spear. 

4. What are you most looking forward to eating postpartum? More donuts. Heh heh. Edit to add- DH asked me a few days ago which alcoholic drink I was most looking forward to. I said wine. However, yesterday we were at a rooftop bar and people were ordering sangria by the pitcher... Oh my God. I am now dyyyying for sangria. That will be my first alcoholic drink after birth.

1. What are some of your favorite foods?
I love seafood, particularly shrimp and lobster and crab (I rarely get lobster or crab though...soooo expensive in the midwest)
I also love pasta and salty foods like popcorn

2. What foods have been your go-to's this pregnancy? Watermelon, eggs, milk, ICE COLD water

3. What is your favorite pickle? I like dill and bread and butter but I don't like sweet pickles

4. What are you most looking forward to eating postpartum? Nothing too crazy because I don't drink alcohol. I like sushi but haven't missed it too bad but guess I am kinda dreamy about it. Mostly just really looking forward to eating on my terms and not feeling like puking or being too full.

First, I apologize for the duplicate GTKY question; I just realized I've asked about fave foods before. I blame pregnancy brain. If you have any suggestions for GTKY's, send them to me!

I love Mexican & Italian foods. Tacos, nachos, pizza, and pasta are probably my main food groups. 

2. What foods have been your go-to's this pregnancy? So many potatoes in all forms. Fresh fruit, cheeses, bread, yogurt. I've also been sucking down Gatorade & Cokes, which I normally don't care for when I'm not pregnant. 

3. What is your favorite pickle? Claussen Spears or Minis! Best. Pickles. Ever. 

4. What are you most looking forward to eating postpartum? I'm not a sushi fan, and I've been eating deli meats (heated) and soft cheeses, so I haven't missed out on much. I'm really looking forward to a margarita and/or a vodka Redbull. This 4th time mama needs a drink!

You are my person. Crab and watermelon? Omg YESSSSSSSS. I'm NOT from Maryland and that sounds wonderful. It is my dream to take a whole vacation completely focused on eating seafood.

@belmont1785, you need to come to Maryland then!
