3rd Trimester

Anyone near the end suddenly craving sweets?

I haven't had a huge sweet tooth this pregnancy (surprisingly) and have gravitated more toward spicy and savory foods.

I feel like the last week or so I've been wanting sweet stuff like crazy. This of course is the opposite of what you're supposed to eat especially in late pregnancy.

Anyone notice this too? I googled trying to find a scientific reason but didn't see much.

I'm trying to stop thinking about the M&M's left over in my pantry from Valentines Day... Embarrassed

Re: Anyone near the end suddenly craving sweets?

  • I have been into the spicy foods as well, recently tho salty popcorn has been my thing. I had a sweet tooth for a couple weeks in the middle.

    I love sweets when I am not prego! My whole family has the biggest sweet tooth around!

  • Not quite as near the end as you, but I definitely experienced this over the last month or so. I've never craved sweet things in my life and now all I seem to want are desserts!

    I'm not quite near the end yet, but I've definitely been having more cravings the past few weeks. Third trimester has definitely been different for me when it comes to food. I was not very tempted by sweets before, and now it's kind of sad... I went gr

  • I have had a HUGE sweet tooth this entire pregnancy. I try to substitute the good sweets, like fruits, but I just can't stay away from the not so good sweets. I like to describe it as my sweet tooth has a sweet tooth.

  • Yes, but not candy (other than Cadbury Creme Eggs).  I am craving cakes and cookies.  Although it has been like this pretty much the whole pregnancy.  Actually, who am I kidding - I always want cakes and cookies but now am giving myself

  • Oh, and I forgot about the glazed donut cravings, and apple fritters from Starbucks.  OMG, I want one right now.  And last week I went to Maggie Moo's twice for Red Velvet ice cream with cookie dough and chocolate chunks mixed in.  I actual

  • YES. Well, honestly its been the past month or so that I've been craving sweets, anything chocolate is good with me! I don't usually buy ice cream at the store but I'm not going to admit just how much ice cream I've consumed the last few weeks. ;)

  • I typically love sweets but have been able to limit my intake throughout this pregnancy, or at least substitute my cravings with a Weight Watchers ice cream. However, over about the last week or so, my sweet tooth has gotten a lot stronger! I don't tend t

  • Sweets are all that I want.  I've been forcing down protein, fruits, and veggies, but have been also going overboard with the sweets.  I seem to have reverted back to the first trimester with a constantly sour stomach that only seems appeased by
