I dont know about you ladies, but I have always been a candy girl... sweets for breakfast, lunch and dinner if I could... Its been this way since I was a kiddo. Even thru my first two pregnancies I couldn't get enough of it..... Meat however has never interested me. It actually gross's me out quite a bit.... funny how things change. With this pregnancy I cannot get enough meat! Seriously I just cannot get enough. My husband is surprised with me. Yesterday I ordered a big fat shredded beef Chimichanga from Macayos... mmmmmmmm! Then this morning we decided to go to breakfast at which time I got a chicken fried steak and eggs breakfast rather than the waffle I normally would have gotten.... It was soooooo good too!!!! Dang!
My first two were boys,, maybe all this "iron craving" means Im getting a girl this time? That would be nice. (have you seen how many dang cute things there are for girls out there? boy shopping can be boring) anyway, yah. Go meat! :-)
Re: cant get enough
With #1 I craved salt and hot sauce - it was a boy
With #2 I craved fruit and sweets - it was a boy
With #3 I craved ice chips (iron deficiency?) and potatoes - it was a girl
I honestly don't think the cravings have anything to do with the gender of the baby, I think it has to do with what your body needs. I think with #1 I needed more sodium, with #2 I needed the nutrients in the fruits, and now I am craving eggs and meat - I think I need the protein.
