Okay, so I want to know...

Honeysuckle Rose · March 2009

Moms-to-be, what's been your most common craving? I'm still waiting for the day when I hear about a woman craving something weird like sardines and ice cream, but I'm always interested to know what everyone has been eating.

J-E-L-L-O

Which reminds me...

:runs off to make nightly batch of jello:

I eat an orange a day. I love strawberries now that they're sort of back in season. I wish I could eat a chocolate cupcake with sugary frosting every day...but that one I won't make a (daily) habit.

StephanieBride1 · March 2009

I wanted carmel pecan rolls.

Speaking of which, I still want them.

armandos_girl · March 2009

Nothing particularly interesting. I was on an OJ kick for while during 1st tri. Lately it's green beans and Orange Gatorade (not together though).

mrs_kelly1014 · March 2009

Mine was skittles in early pregnancy and fruit throughout the entire thing.

MLOVER<3 · March 2009

Pizza lunchable and steak and cheese sub...

?

I had it for lunch today and it was AMAZING?

Honeysuckle Rose · March 2009

Weelass, is that jiggly Jell-o, or Jell-o pudding?

armandos_girl · March 2009

This reminds me - I still have leftover Jello cups in the fridge. Wee - you can have 'em.

I also have Skittles leftover from yesterday, however those are all mine!

weelass24 · March 2009

Jiggly jell-o. LOL

We get the stuff from Ireland, not the Bill Cosby jello.

pokeyswife · March 2009

Steak-ums and ding-dongs.

AJplusKev · March 2009

I forgot about Skittles. I was craving them for about 2 weeks during 2nd tri.

jennabee13 · March 2009

I've been eating fried rice like it's going out of style.

Sorry, I'm a vegeterian. What's a steak-um?

Jason'swife · March 2009

Coffee and oranges. Weird huh?

Oh, and beer.

mrs.michaelhill · March 2009

In the very beginning, the only thing I could eat was dry Cheerios and I would drink V8 with them. That was probably the worst of it. After that, mostly vegetables and fruits. Toward the middle through the end, I wanted lobster bisque and crab legs all the freaking time. After she was born, I was absolutely in love with Captain Crunch. Oh yeah, and I actually bought pickles in the gallon jars during the pregnancy. It embarrassed the heck out of my DH. But I like pickles even when I'm not pregnant...

Honeysuckle Rose · March 2009

Did you eat the Cheerios and V8 together??

weelass24 · March 2009

:grabs armando's jello and a spoon:

Free jello!

mrs.michaelhill · March 2009

Well, I didn't pour the V8 over the Cheerios like milk if that's what you mean. I would put 3 Cheerios in my mouth and then take a drink of the V8. When I told my mom what I was eating, she would just gag every time she heard me chewing or swallowing.

meganet22 · March 2009

fruit all the time, and i went through a month or two of wanting mozzarella sticks all the time

pokeyswife · March 2009

Steak-ums are like really thin slices of meat that you cook up and make cheesesteak sandwiches with.

When I finally get pregnant, DH will claim "sympathy cravings" just so he can eat those like crazy!!

Wildcat627 · March 2009

So here's a weird one for you. My great aunt craved river silt (dirt) while she was pregnant and after her 3rd child, whose now 54, she craved it all the time. Apparently being pregnant caused her to lose some mineral or something that was in the river silt. I'm sure now a days you could get whatever it was in pill form but then she couldn't so she kept a box of river silt under her bed and ate it when necessary. No lie.

Sarah Thompson · March 2009

With my DD I craved lemons and red gatorade

With my DS I craved jolly ranchers and lemons

my weird craving was cucumbers dipped in sweet and sour sauce

mrs.michaelhill · March 2009

I forgot one my husband found particularly gross. I would eat peanuts and pretzels dipped in mustard.

soontobeahigh · March 2009

I think the weirdest thing I have craved so far was pickles and lunchmeat, together. I wrapped turkey around a pickle the other day and went to town.

Oh and the person who mentioned river silt, there is Pica, that makes you crave weird things like dirt. My good friend craved Irish Spring soap when she was pregnant with her first. So strange the things we go through.

mrs.michaelhill · March 2009

soontobeahigh - the best is to take ham and spread cream cheese all over it. Then put a pickle in it and roll it up. Then scarf it down. It's delicious!

Aekn · March 2009

ICE!!

Must have a huge cup of ice all the time.

heather_09_15_07 · March 2009

So far? Any food I can get my hands on:)

Yeah that is called Pica as another poster mentioned. It can be really dangerous (obviously) and rarely does the item craved provide the missing nutrient. I read a bunch of articles on it a while back because it sounded soooo strange.

buckin · March 2009

I haven't been pregnant yet but:

My sister craved: FRIED CHICKEN TENDERS on COLD crisp salad with Honey Mustard Dressing, French Onion Soup and Watermelon....through the WHOLE pregnancy...and she would eat it every day, all day..she gained 70 lbs.

An ex of mine's mother told me when she was pregnant she wanted to eat the ashes out of the ash trays...her family would hide the ashtrays from her at resteraunts and stuff because she wanted to eat the ashes. Ick!

My mom actually did the pickles and icecream thing when she was pregnant with me.
