@aefsparrow omg SAME. It’s weird, I’ve always been a snacker but when I got pregnant I could barely finish a meal. My appetite went way down (but I never had morning sickness). But now that I’m into 2nd trimester I’m full blown snacking again lol.
No peas for me, apparently. We made a stir fry tonight and the peas are permeating EVERYTHING. I don’t normally mind them, but right now just the smell is making me sick. 🤢 I don’t have too many aversions, but I definitely don’t have much of an appetite still.
I'm actually starting to be less ravenous. I feel like I have a normal appetite now. Cravings are less intense too but my biggest thing has been popsicles! I found these Outshine brand ones and they are freaking amazing
@morethanamama omg I see a ton of people have been craving popsicles, I thought I was the only one! I’ve always loved those pop ice ones you get as a kid that come unfrozen as juice and then you cut the top of the plastic off to eat it when it’s frozen. I made DH pick me up two packages of them 😂
@mamahosch we picked some of those ice pops this week too! I used the excuse that DD will probably love them (she's almost 2 so this is the first summer she could handle them effectively). Honestly I just wanted them myself!
DH just picked up some outshines popsicles the other night! I’ve had no appetite for awhile and the only thing that sounds good is fruit. I’m not nauseous, but I have no desire to eat and nothing I can think of sounds appealing. I could only force myself to eat chips and guacamole for dinner plus some cheese last night. Today, I made chia pudding with fruit for breakfast and was able to eat half of it. I’m hoping my appetite picks up again soon.
I'm on a fruit and veggie kick. Yesterday's dinner was cherries, blueberries, macerated strawberries, and lightly salted avocados.

I’m dropping hints for my husband to pick me up a salmon Caesar salad today because it sounds soooooo good. Even though Caesar dressing is technically not something I’m supposed to be eating right now...
I woke up in the middle of the night CRAVING a breakfast burrito. This morning I got door dashed a burrito because it was still on my mind... got the H one too so he wouldn't be grumbly lol...
I have 2 favorite things I’ve been having for breakfast lately. Either a protein shake with peanut butter, banana and a tablespoon of unsweetened cocoa powder. Or two poached eggs over about a cup and a half of hashbrowns.
@MJDsquared The garden salsa sun chips were on my list for my boyfriend a couple weeks ago. I don’t want to admit how quickly I ate them, although I had a little help). As much as I want them I decided I needed to take a slight break from them. Having them on my list every week might be a problem for me. 😂
@profmcgonagall I haven’t had much of a sweet tooth but I was driving by there yesterday and there was no line so I got one and stuck it in the freezer for later in the day.
I’ve been a big meat/ protein eater with this pregnancy. Which is a stark contrast from when I was pregnant with DD. Meat was a huge aversion to me. Although this time chicken can be hit or miss for me unless it’s in the nugget form.
I have a Dairy Queen gift card I got from a student that’s been sitting on my counter for a week, I need to use it! I love ice cream all the time and I’ve been especially craving it lately 🤤
@profmcgonagall Dairy Queen hot fudge sundaes were where it was at when I was pregnant with DS. DH drove to the other side of the city to get me one one night because the DQ close to out house closed an hour earlier. I'm sorry you don't have them near you!
I’ve been craving Greek food. Last night I made a chopped Greek salad and ate it on a pita and it was perfect 👌 we have a little Greek deli that does falafel gyros and that’s my take out of choice right now.
Mango! I have been eating fresh sliced fruit like it's going out of style, and one of the fruit salads I had last week had mango in it and it tasted so damn good. When I went grocery shopping yesterday, they had one container of sliced mango left, and I snatched it up, then promptly ate half of it when I got home. It's soooooooo good.
For those on the popsicle train, Jolly Rancher has their own freezie pops out now. I bought some to keep in our deep freezer.
Minor victory! The boy person, who likes to mansplain all the "rules" about what I'm allowed to eat, only squawked minorly when I told him I really, really wanted some salmon sushi. So there is totally a giant batch of sushi on its way to me (us, I did get some for him, too lol).

I made this for dinner tonight. It’s delicious and a now a family favorite! I used 3/4 cup Parmesan cheese for both parts of the recipe. And used heavy cream and milk in the sauce. Served it over egg noodles with some veggies on the side.
As of late I have been on a major cherry kick. They were on sale big time last week, and I sent my boyfriend to get a second bag. They were out!!! I then had him ask if they could do a rain check, and she said she couldn’t because the front desk was closed. So we had to pay twice as much for them this week. 😒
Oh and @angela444 for me it’s salty. I can’t have the generic brand chips because it tastes like I’m just eating salt. I also have a cheeseburger, and the American cheese tasted so much like salt to me.
I have made this corn salsa like 3 times in 6 weeks I think. Usually we make it as a topping for shrimp tacos or pulled pork nachos, but while I’ve been pregnant I just eat it with tortilla chips. I think it’s the lime that is tasting soooooo good to me right now!
Anyone else simply craving everything they see? Seriously, every commercial makes me what whatever they're selling (which is unfortunately usually fast food...) I explained this to my husband and now whenever he wants something he just pulls it up on Google images and shows me the page, and the next thing I know it's all I can think about 😂
Also after reading this thread I really want popsicles. And fruit smoothies. And corn salsa. And like 50 other things....
My fetal occupant loves fresh things. Today she decided she wanted "color" and "food groups," so I am having celery, strawberries, Hawaiian rolls, sausages, and cheddar cheese.

@kboydbowman Mine has been wanting everything fresh as well. I’ve been on a huge cherry kick for the last month or so. Between that and pixie tangerines that only grow near me I’m definitely enjoying my cravings.
We bought two packs of Hawaiian rolls this week, and they’ve definitely been hitting the spot. Sounds like our girls are wanting similar foods.
@animalandplantrescuer Cherries, strawberries, peaches, blueberries, bananas... The other day it was a papaya...there are also some blackberries in my fridge right now and normally I really dislike blackberries. Those may turn into a smoothie tomorrow.

Yes to Allllll the fruit. Also still popsicles and fruit bars. Currently enjoying some amazing watermelon. Trader joe's has had really good quality fruit this week!
@morethanamama haven't done watermelon recently - maybe that will be next!
