How soon did you...

start craving certain types of food? And what did you crave?

I find this phenomenon intriguing and was curious to see how many different types of cravings women had. 

My friend realized she was pregnant when she (without noticing) devoured half a container of raisins!

You may not know this, but craving raisins is actually the most credible sign of pregnancy to date. True story.

well, I am always craving things no matter what.

but with my daughter I craved stuff from the very beginning. Although it was very difficult because I had severe m/s. I always liked salty foods like french fries though. Cheese too...I could never get enough cheese.

Did you all have certain cravings before you even knew you were pregnant?

I didn't know I was pregnant. Maybe I should be on that tv show.

I never had cravings when I was pregnant. If anything I'd say I had aversions to certain things

No food wants or aversions started until my pregnancy was pretty established. About 10 weeks in.

Oh I did eat nothing but grilled cheese and soup for weeks straight because anything more flavorful than that was unappealing.

And I still can't drink OJ or eat sushi, both of which I loved, because they grossed me out hardcore when I was pg.

I never really had crazy cravings.

I did eat a lot of egg salad for about a week during the first tri.   And a lemon w/salt everynight of the first tri.

I am not pregnant yet, but during the first few days of my period have weird cravings.  White rice and sometimes pickles.  True story.

I had one day where I was going to die if I didn't have bologna and cheese, but that's it.  I certainly didn't crave anything before I knew I was pregnant.

A ate an entire jar of pickles (plus the juice through a straw) during the 2WW before my BFP.  Now I can't eat them at all.
