What were your food cravings/what did you have?

southernbelle82 · December 2009

I'm craving a lot of the same things I did with Kenley...milk, sweets, fruit, salad (OMG what I wouldn't give for a lb of cucumbers right now), orange juice, popsicles, etc.

I was talking with a friend last night and we were going over our cravings we had when we were pregnant with girls...makes me wonder if this could be another girl.

What were your cravings and what did you have?

ETA: OH and cereal. I couldn't get enough cereal last time and I'm wanting it a lot this time too.

Crissyjo30 · December 2009

I craved turkey sandwiches with avocado in the beginning and sweets at the end...had a girl.

sunnygyrl · December 2009

I feel like the only person to never have cravings. How fun!

olivejuice127 · December 2009

With DD it was hot dogs, pickles, and bagels with cream cheese. With this one it seems to be vegetables, I just can't get enough!

kelbrian · December 2009

For like the first fifteen weeks, I craved wild berry Skittles and Squirt soda. That's it. I despised garlic and onion and wanted to puke any time that I smelled them.

When I got into my second trimester, I craved Italian food a lot. I could have eaten three pounds of pasta for dinner and would've been content.

I also adored ice cream in a terrible way. My third trimester, I survived off of ice cream because it was all I wanted and it was so freaking hot outside.

Oh, and I also wanted cheese curds. Wisconsin cheese curds that squeak when you bite them. Mmmm. And banana peppers. I would go to Subway and get a foot long with only pepper jack cheese, a ridiculous amount of banana peppers, and pickles.

I had a girl.

This was me too! Ice cream and shaved ice.

LondonBridges · December 2009

I craved Carrabba's house salad like nothing else. Seriously. We ate there at least twice a week. I also craved tamales, pico de gallo, hush puppies and ice cream. I had a little boy.

I should have bought stock in Ben&Jerry's and Coldstone. For real.

Brewtowngrl · December 2009

Both times: Cake in every variety. Still don't like frosting much.

MexicoBride0507 · December 2009

I wanted sweets with DS, could not get enough. I also hated any kind of meat. With this one I am so hungry that I just want food more than sweets. I also love cucumbers and veggies. yum!

The Phish Food flavor did me in. I would give DH puppy eyes and he would sigh and get up. Poor guy. That stuff does add up.

And I remember going to Coldstone and getting cotton candy ice cream with gummy bears and nerds on top. BARF. That sounds so nasty now, but I scarfed it down.

Jen&Len · December 2009

McD's, Burger King, Kim Chi instant noodles and fresh salad (at least one is healthy).

Neukim · December 2009

For me it was more about foods I couldn't eat. Chicken was the number one thing. I couldn't even look at it. I did manage to pack on 50lbs though, so I musta been craving something!

Krissi~n~Justin · December 2009

Boneless buffalo wings, pudding pops, McDonald's sweet tea, salad with ginger dressing from the japanese steakhouse here.

Mjmksb04 · December 2009

At the beginning, I craved eggs a lot. And Egg McMuffins. Throughout, I craved Mexican a lot and probably ate my weight in chips and salsa. I also craved Culver's cheeseburgers.

May524 · December 2009

Fruit loops and OJ! I always had a serious craving for McDonads fries and chicken nuggets.

arlegs · December 2009

I craved cheerios and cold milk, and milkshakes but I had a boy. I don't have any cravings yet b/c of m/s.

Disneygeek77 · December 2009

Unfortunately nothing healthy. I wanted burgers and fries the whole time. Oh and there was a short time when I wanted Chevy's chips and salsa.

I wish I was one of those women who craved fruit and vegetables.

beachlovinbride · December 2009

corndogs and popsicles...yuck I know. Otherwise, I couldnt eat a thing for awhile.

Krissi~n~Justin · December 2009

I forgot egg McMuffins. Those too! Discovered them when I was pg, and had one almost every monring!

secuccaro · December 2009

The only weird thing I craved was citrus -- I could have sucked lemons all day in the first trimester.

I also craved ice cream and brownies, but I have a sweet tooth normally, so that isn't all that unusual.

I had a boy.

Dobie_Mama · December 2009

Fruit, in the beginning. Then it was jalapenos and hot sauce.

armywife7205 · December 2009

Lemon in any form... we were in AZ when I had DD and I ate about 3 boxes of real lemon icepops!

Buckets of Moonbeams · December 2009

citrus, citrus and more citrus. I never had any cravings with K, but this time I want to eat oranges, lemonade, lemon popsicles, even plain lemon. It's making my mouth water just thinking about it.

I know citrus is supposed to be a girl craving, and I DO have a feeling it's another girl.

Daniella4 · December 2009

When pg w/ dd1 I craved milk, lots of milk, veggies and fruit. when pg w/ dd2 I craved junk! the sweeter the better, the worse the food was for me the more i wanted it.

KittyCatBio · December 2009

dark beer, mexican, veggies and fruit. and icees.

lbaby08 · December 2009

I wanted turkey and mayo sandwiches something bad! And everything sour - I would eat 4-5 oranges every day or I would peel a lemon and eat it like an orange. That got some strange looks! I also craved salad with raspberry vinaigrette dressing and a lot of red onions.

Funnily, I hated tuna salad pre-pregnancy and one day when I was about 20 weeks I was walking by a deli and saw a tuna salad sandwich. I had to have one immediately! For the rest of my pregnancy I ate a tuna salad sandwich once a week - would have had more except for the whole mercury problem.

Tiffany3119 · December 2009

Pizza was big throughout for me, I also loved egg mcmuffins. I woke up in the middle of the night about a week before DS was born and I had to have a fruit punch popsicle, I could not sleep until I got them so I went to the store and got them,at 2:00 am in February. I sat in bed and downed the whole box.

nooniesgal · December 2009

Barbeque sauce, ranch, relish...yum

AmyDrinkie · December 2009

I mostly wanted cereal, fruit, salad, sushi and burgers with Ian.

krisandphilinlove · December 2009

I wanted anything sweet. Fruit, candy, slurrpies, popsicles, CHOCOLATE! I also wanted cereal a lot. I could not stand meat or green veggies.

I had a girl.

Rubygirl · December 2009

Spinach salads, sweet tarts

I always love cereal, so that wasn't really a pg thing, just more of it!

If my siggy pic doesn't give it away, I had a boy.

annabelle.27 · December 2009

Dairy and oranges.

I felt a bit like a drug addict- I would be in pain by the end of the day if I didn't have any dairy. I hate milk (and that didn't change with pregnancy) so if we were out of yogurt and cheese I paid for it. I went through 3 or 4 large tubs of yogurt per week. And I always had both of my fruit drawers filled with oranges. To be honest I never even realized that the oranges were a pregnancy craving (I just thought I had re-discovered how delicious oranges were) until after I had my baby and both drawers full of oranges went moldy because I stopped had eating them.

I had a boy.
