All I want is sodium. I've got a pack of ramen noodles calling my name

iiirene

Calzones and peanut butter and jelly sandwiches

etnyah

Anything with vinegar. Trying to balance the salt & vinegar chips with some simple vinaigrette dressed salads.

Red skin potato salad and ginger cauliflower rice (both from Costco) are the specific wants. Most of the day I want fresh or crunchy foods, which is the exact opposite of the first two. 😂

Toasted bread with butter and croissants, cheese

Vinegar / sodium / citrus is my calling name too. I"m digging simple green salads salads with lemon juice / olive oil dressing, topped with salt & pepper.

Today I was craving a burrito, so we went to this place that was voted "best" on the local subreddit. It was worth every penny / every minute driving to get there. I had 2 burritos (they were pretty small).

I had more burritos today because it turned out the place we went to yesterday just opened a new location on Friday, which is closer to our house, so we needed to do quality control.

All I want to eat is portillos hot dogs and blue raspberry slushees. I almost drove out of the way again yesterday to stop, but I have a very recognizable car and my embarrassment from the workers possibly judging me stopped me lol

Please send alllllll the macaroni and cheese this way. Not the box crap, the real kind with extra salt.

Mexican food is so good rn the baby is making my food taste better lol

nsk489

Still not much of an appetite here and the thought of most food makes me feel sick, BUT a bacon egg and cheese sandwich on the most perfect buttery flaky croissant sure did hit the spot today

iiirene

This week I want canned pears like all day every day. @nsk489 bacon egg and cheese does sound delicious.

English muffin with peanut butter and a little bit of crushed Cinnamon Toast Crunch on top has become my favorite breakfast

This week I cannot seem to get enough guacamole. I feel like I could eat it straight out of the bowl with a spoon!

cat_burn90

Kraft Mac and Cheese, potato chips WITH mild pickled jalapeños (don’t knock it till you try it), mini watermelons (I will eat a whole have in one sitting), and ANYTHING with fresh tomatoes as the main ingredient (Bruschetta anyone?)

etnyah

Went to a bbq and they had a fresh fruit platter, was pineapple always this tasty?? I think I ate all the pineapple there. Sorry, everyone else who wanted pineapple.

nonlinear_function

@etnyah I'm the person that eats all the pineapple out of the fruit salad, pregnant or not. Sorry not sorry.

@cat_burn90 Imma fight you for those tomatoes! Heirloom tomatoes are my daily snack now. I’ve become obsessed with farmer’s markets just so I can get the freshest juiciest stuff.

@etnyah so funny I did the same thing last night at a family party with all the strawberries & pineapples - told my husband to go out & buy them today! SO GOOD

nsk489

Had a dream last night about this delicious juice and chocolate filled croissants that I used to have in Greece. So now I guess I need to find some of that somehow here in Oregon to satisfy my craving 😆

acleverusername

@nsk489 Oooh. Good luck! Sounds like quite the challenge indeed!

Literally all I want to eat is burgers and sub sandwiches (specifically from potbelly). Anything heavy on garlic is out. I had a terrible aversion to garlic with my first pregnancy and now it's rearing its ugly head again. It just tastes so off and if it's in anything and I even so much as smell it,  I'm getting sick. 

jesslynnraya

Chicken Ramen noodles lol Mostly throwing up everything though. I actually just got sent home from work because everyone was tired of hearing me throw up! Ugh!

nsk489

Sour gummy candies. This was also a big craving of mine last pregnancy

acleverusername

@nsk489 sour gummies are SOOOO good. I'm kind of resisting them, but I've caved 1-2 times so far.

I am not normally a milk drinker, but all I want is chocolate milk 🤤

kraane

Can’t get enough grapefruit right now! 

returning_bump_member

All the kinds of salad! Potato salad, egg salad, Amish macaroni salad, kale salad, spinach salad... etc, etc... 

etnyah

You can put me safely in camp milk over here too. I can’t remember the last time I drank a glass of water. Only milk. And I’m not a milk drinker usually, we’ve gone through SO many cartons in the past few weeks.

Today I was really craving watermelon. Spent an ungodly amount for cut watermelon because I HAD TO HAVE SOME.

knottieafb95280f009ba79

Pickles, pickled mixed vegetables (especially the baby onions), Greek yogurt with granola & berries 🤤

scaredunprepared

Soup and applesauce.   My diet is SUPER limited right now but those are the only things that sound even remotely appetizing.  Pretty sure that's my lack of gallbladder talking though and not the baby lol

My favorite right now is shrimp dumpling and Ramen soup with bok choy..  I could eat it for every meal.
