Cravings vs what you're having

Jbye502

Hey Ladies,

 

I was just wondering for those of you that know what you are having already... what did you crave?  Here lately all I want is fruit, veggies, potatoes and lemonaide.  I feel like its a girl, but I wont know for sure for another 4 weeks.:) Im curous to see what women who are having a boy crave and what women that are having a girl crave?

Cravings telling you the gender of the child is a OWT, every pregnancy is different.

Based on the OWT, I would be having a boy.

We're team green but I have a feeling it's a boy just because I always thought my first would be. I won't know for months though

I have been craving fruit like crazy, especially watermelon and grapes.  Also cheese has been my go-to food for this entire pregnancy.

early on I drank a LOT of lemondade!

I had NO idea if we'd have a boy or a girl...I craved chips and chocolate or ice cream the whole time. We're having a girl! I was sure it was a boy because of the salty things I wanted...pickles and chips especially!

My babies heart rate was at 140 too...so didnt help!

I know its hard..but guessing doesnt work...you'll find out soon enough!

I have had a major craving for fruits and sweets. I have also been a big fan of steak and cheese.

I'm having a boy....doubt these cravings have anything to do with which gender though....

So far, I want MEAT, noodles, sour stuff.  And I don't know what we're having yet.

HOWEVER, with DS, all I ate was ice cream and sweets.  No meat.  All signs it was pointing to a girl.  Oh well!

When not pregnant, I'm not much of a sweet eater at all.  I tend to want salty stuff instead.  Since getting KU, I crave lots of fruit and other not-so-healthy sweets.  I'm having a boy.

Tech last week said she's 90% sure we're having a girl.  So far I haven't really craved anything.  I'm really hungry all day and if I see/smell a food I want it more (like when people make their lunch at work I want whatever they're having LOL).  But as far as straight up cravings - nothing!

I crave salty stuff sooo bad!! It's all I want all day but I also crave fruit, any kind of berries I have in my fridge and snack on those all day with some triscuits and cheese inbetween.  The first 8 wks of pg I could barely eat meat, it tasted so horrible, but I loved pickles and chips!  We don't find out what we're having for another 2 1/2 wks so we'll see if these cravings mean anything in our pg.

My number one craving is chocolate milk, which is weird because I usually don't drink milk. I have also craved sweets and fruit. I am having a boy.

I am loving anything sweet, lemonade, and sour things.  I don't crave many salty things.  I'm having a girl.

My cravings were totally different with #1 and #2 and they are both boys, so I don't really think it has anything to do with it. With #1 I craved oranges and citrus like crazy, I would eat an entire box of satsumas in a day or two. With #2 I've been craving french fries with hot sauce and other odd combinations of salty/spicy foods. Yet I have no desire for citrus this time around. Who knows!

I want Brie SO BAD but my OB says no...I know a lot of people eat it anyway but I can't bring myself to do it. I told DH that when I get back from the hospital I want triple cream brie and a loaf of french bread waiting for me:)

Also, I have been eating a lot of chips...and I mean a lot

I crave Chocolate Milk too!!! My SO thinks it's hilarious cus I drink it all the time but hate the taste of regular Milk right now and I used to be the other way around.

Cravings can be perceived as a fun thing, especially with pregnancy, but, interestingly enough, the foods we crave we cannot digest.  I know it may sound odd, but, your body wants the nutritional value of the food you are craving, but, is missing the right enzymes to absorb the nutrients, therefore, you keep on craving the food.  I believe it has no bearing on what sex you are having.  Still, it would be best to address the craving so that you are properly digesting all that you are eating.

When I had my son I craved a lot of fruit and real cold stuff like slurpee from 7-11.  I am pregnant again and found out I'm having a girl, but during this pregnancy I'm not craving anything in particular.  Most of the time I really don't feel like eating.  I think when you have a boy you tend to eat more than when its a girl.

With my first daughter, I craved pasta the entire time. All I wanted was noodles for breakfast lunch and dinner!

This time, I am having another girl, but it's ice cream and sweets!!
