Weirdest Cravings

Jitterbug2668

With DS I didn't crave anything.  With this one, I've managed to polish off 3 jars of dill pickles since Christmas.  I just stand in front of the fridge and eat right from the jar.  Heck sometimes I don't even take the jar off the shelf on the door.  And all things vinegar.  Anything from salt & vinegar chips (only the Utz's), to salad dressings, to drinking it straight out of the bottle. 

Your turn.  What was your weirdest craving?

I can't get enough Indian food when I'm pregnant.

gag!

I couldn't get enough Mexican food when I was pregnant.  If it had beans, rice and cheese, it had to be in my belly.

LOL, that's HILARIOUS because my best friend is currently pregnant and did the same thing as Jitterbug - she polished off a huge jar of pickles and DRANK THE JUICE! Ugh!

I didn't crave anything, just had a huge aversion to coffee and chocolate, which is very, very, VERY unlike me.

mmm pickle brine, love it (pregnant or not!!)

I ate 2 whole watermelons a week when pregnant with DD (there are advantages to being pregnant all summer!). I craved it with DS as well, and peaches, mmmmm

Salty foods were big with both pregnancies, esp in the 1st trimester

me too!

With both kids I craved chery coke, specifically from the can or fountain, not a plastic bottle.  I am usually a big dessert person but rarely drink soda, however I did not crave any kid of chocolate or such when pregnant, I just wanted a cherry coke.

My cravings come in trimesters (and have been consistent both times):

First - Cheez-Its and ginger ale

Second - Citrusy drinks (fresh squeezed orange juice, grapefruit juice)

Third - Milk, preferably with cookies

Hey Jellisy

Individual vegetables made me gag, but I craved salad like no other.  I would eat my lunch and then hit up the salad bar in the mid afternoon.  Trips to the grocery store were like winning a lottery since they had salad bars....  Also chips, really anything salty, but Wise potato chips, yum....

Especially in my 1st tri I craved hearty, salty foods, and anything with carbs.  I was the crazy woman eating huge portions of beef stew and chili in the middle of August.  I'd literally eat twice as much as DH

With DD#1:  McDonald's chicken nuggets and Taco Bell crunchy tacos and the seven layer burrito...

With DD#2: Chocolate.  I eat a lot of chocolate anyway, but it was ridiculous with her...

In my 1st tri I was all about the Mexican food. Specifically, Chipolte Chicken Burrito Bowls.  Nothing really stands out from my 2nd tri, but in my 3rd tri, it was ice cream.

At first, it was hummus. I couldn't get enough of it.

Later, it was the Flavor Explosion Goldfish and Chipotle Burritos with extra sour cream. I would dream about the sour cream taste.

Some that stick out in my mind: apple and orange juice (fresh), watermelon, brownies (when I was in the middle of horrible m/s all I wanted was the chocolatey-ist, gooey-ist brownie...doesn't seem to mesh with m/s lol), pizza, and tuna salad (which I kept to a minimum).  Chocolate, chocolate, and more chocolate was the story of 3rd tri.  Oh, and really spicy foods (not typical for me).
