Cravings...

decemberjoy2012

So before I ever got pregnant I never really understood the whole craving thing.  I was like do you just have to have something that bad?  It just never occured to me that YES....  you just have to have that specific thing because it sounds soooooo good. 

It is just fun being on this side of things... you never know what to expect and then you get to the point and you are like Yep... I get it now:)

Yesterday I was at Target and I had to have some chips and salsa... I got home and my husband said "we are eating dinner in like a half hour" and I said I just want a few!!  I can see what some women gain 75 pounds when they are pregnant.  I am hoping to keep my cravings in moderation!

Combining the cravings with the constant hunger and it's easy to see how some women gain so much during pregnancy!   (I gained 50 pounds with my first, and am trying to keep it more moderate this time around.)

I was craving chips and salsa the other day, as well... With #1, it was Mexican food ALL through my pregnancy!  Good luck to you!

Are cravings more prominent later on in pregnancy?  Right now I'm still in the 'nothing sounds good' stage.  There's been a few times where something actually does sound good, which is exciting because it makes it easier to decide what to eat, but I wouldn't call them cravings.  And you always see in movies hugely pregnant women craving crazy things!

This is definitely still me - but I've found that if I'm finally hungry and trying to decide what to eat, I'll tend to learn towards sweet stuff. I'm not a huge junkfood fan but I certainly have been the last couple weeks!

I haven't had any morning sickness... I have just been very hungry all the time!  I want to eat all day long!  I am snacking on healthy items - but I do get those cravings here and there.

Today is the first day *something* sounded good to eat. Up until today, it's been all "ewww, don't mention food" and grabbing whatever didn't make me gag.
We'll see if it sticks around, I guess.

what I do with cravings is I have to crave it for more than one day unless it's a strong one. Usually I let it go for a few days other wise I'll give into every craving and end up gaining a lot. I also usually eat healthy b/c all my cravings are junk food so I don't feel so bad or at least I try to eat healthy.

 I was dying for Mexican this past weekend.  My DH is not a huge Mexican fan and we had already eaten out the prior 3 days.  So in the interest of giving in to the craving, I got some whole grain chips and guacamole at the grocery store.  It hit the spot!  Still craving the full on Mexican though!  haha

So far I have been a lucky one where I have not actually vomitted just felt sick. I always eat when I feel sick and I usually feel better, but I feel hungry all the time!! I am craving cheese, chicken, pasta, oreo ice cream ... CARBS!!!

I occasionally have food aversions where nothing sounds good too, but I make myelf eat something small until I feel better.

This, but not all my cravings are junk... some are, but I see if it stays around for a few days first... so far they all have...lol
