What My Pregnant Self is Eating in October

Despite the gif, pumpkin spice is making me nauseous right now  But if this baby lets me eat, pizza is always a safe bet.

Anything super salty. GIVE ME ALL THE SALT. Particularly ramen, hamburgers, pickles. Which is weird because normally my cravings are fruit/sweets. And also weird because none of these things are normally in my diet.

@maelove omg yessss!! All I want is salty, fatty, crunchy things. I usually don’t eat a lot of this stuff (I’m a sugar and pastry kind of gal!), so it’s wild.

All. The. Sweets. Even though it makes me queasy after  

doggymom2babymama

Asian. Loving anything Asian right now- fried rice, pad Thai, peanut sauce and ginger sauce… yum yum!

FRENCH FRIES.

Pizza, French fries.... Anything unhealthy that I don't have to cook!! Anyone else getting nauseous when cooking and can barely eat a few bites of what you cook? We can't afford to eat out every meal 🤪

I have the appetite of ten men! I am starving almost every two hours and my cravings jump from salty to sweet, healthy to gluttony. I just go with it! 

Yesterday I had a hankering for cornbread dressing… so I bought everything after work and got started this morning. My kids were like, “mom made thanksgiving dinner!” 🤣🤣🤣

hestia-is-wearie

@almost40npreg That looks so good! I can't wait to be in second trimester during Thanksgiving. I keep joking with DD that we may need to order a second turkey for myself.   

Last night at my parents' house I kept eating sour gummy candy out of their Halloween stash. No idea why my stomach liked THAT of all things...

ktmaesim

Yes omg @sram331 I literally cannot bring myself to cook, making me so ill. 

I will say though something I have found to help with the nauseous feeling when I wake up is to eat some protein right away and fill your tummy a bit to start the day…. Even tho it’s so hard to stomach, it really does help me. 

BourbonBiscuits

Omfg @almost40npreg I am drooling over that plate.

You can't be pregnant and from the south unless you're craving boiled peanuts!

My protien for the morning 😂


P.S. this is my favorite thread of all time on the bump!

hestia-is-wearie

@sram331 I've never had boiled peanuts! (Probably because I'm from Cleveland. ) Do they taste different when they're boiled?

Sunday was gummy bats, and today is gummy bears. I'm guessing this weekend will be gummy worms.

I had top ramen for lunch today. It wasn’t as good as I imagined it would be.

I have pretty consistent nausea and aversions to a bunch of foods (can’t do any meats or anything with strong smells or cooked in oils), so I’m surviving on pretty basic foods. But I’m loving bean and cheese burritos, bagels, hummus and pita, smoothies, pickles, mandarins, and grapes. Also enjoying anything with peanut butter and now I always have a sweet tooth. I have never been a picky eater, so it is so weird to not want to eat a bunch of foods! 

spr331

@hestia-is-wearie Yes. Not as nutty as roasted. They are salty and savory. I guess it could be comparable to edamame since they are also legumes. 

radioactivet

I am eating GinGins and those orange colored peanut butter snack crackers daily. Really struggling with wanting to cook or meal prep. Gummy bats sound appetizing though.... 😆

maelove

I can’t think of a single thing I want to eat this week. Blechhhhhh and barf. 

birdieboogidgiegoo

watermelon and loaded baked potatoes!

gingermama46

All of the bagels...but I've become a bit of a snob and am very picky as to which ones.

ashleyp625

I reallllllllly want Chinese for dinner. We’ll see if the fam agrees. 

hestia-is-wearie

Well, this weekend was not gummy worms, but a whole lot of Hi-Chew. I NEVER eat fruity candy and it's the one thing I can't stop eating. I might be taking a heavy parent tax from DD's Halloween stash this year 

spr331

Just sent my husband to the store for cheese cake...hopefully he doesn't come back with one from the freezer section 🤞

hestia-is-wearie

The only consistent aversion I've had so far is bacon, but that has officially been broken. I can't get enough of the Starbucks bacon gruyere egg bites 

Side note, while typing this I first spelled bacon "baken." I need a nap.

catem07

Cheese and deli ham and triscuits are a good snack. A little carbs, a little fat, a little protein. (I have no fear of deli meat while pregnant.)

mamalama2020

This week it’s salmon and berries. Oh yeah and salty pretzels. My aversion seems to be chicken. It’s making me repulse just to think about it. I’ll admit that I take a big lunchbox to work with me with a variety of food since it’s been changing what I can keep down and what I don’t want anymore. It’s like in the morning I really wanted applesauce but by lunch my stomach says no, I want hard boiled eggs! I’m also eating all day in my cubicle. I haven’t told anyone I’m expecting so schedule time in the conference rooms to snack and it seems to keep my nausea at bay.

I'm usually a vegetarian, but this baby is making me crave chicken. Any kind of chicken. I also had my first hamburger in 4 years, I literally almost cried. 
So meat is a big craving for me, but also cornflakes.

misscarter87

Mashed potatoes and chicken and anything sweet

megh061816

@gingermama46 I highly recommend Daves Killer Bread bagels!!! 🤩🤩

hestia-is-wearie

EVERYTHING. I am a bottomless pit right now.

ashleyp625

I bought pre sliced green apples at the store and I have been living for apples and Colby Jack cheese cubes dipped in peanut butter after school every day this week so far. 

courtney701

First half of October was pretty limited to fruit and all things beige. Now I am starving every 2 hours and getting up in the middle of the night to eat. I’ll eat most anything as long as it can get in my mouth fast!

maelove

Hate to be a #basicbitch but it’s all about the avocado toast for me right now

acamomma18

Omg alllllll the Pirates Booty 😆 I also go into nostalgia mode and buy childhood snacks like Star Crunch!

mamalama2020

Avocado, salmon and red onion please!

BourbonBiscuits

Also starving all the time. And THANK GOD it's Halloween because you better believe I've already eaten one of the bags I bought for trick or treaters. Sorry, kids.

gingermama46

Not a big potato chip person, but the cheddar and sour cream ruffle chips. We haven't gotten chips in years and I totally forgot how much air is in a bag, it was like a quarter of the way full!

casshax

I got white cheddar Cheetos for the first time and you better believe I ate half the bag in one sitting!

spr331

I've been living off popcorn. Especially on nights where I don't feel like eating anything.
