What was the weirdest/strongest craving when you were PG?

LongLiveTheQueen · February 2010

What did you HAVE to have? What unusual things did you crave?

I could not get enough ice cold water with tons of lemons. I also couldn't eat enough white bread, untoasted and plain.

BelleBaby · February 2010

Chipotle's shredded beef tacos. I think I had them once a week.

I could not stand chicken though.

ktallman · February 2010

Fresh fruit salad 24/7.

And HUGE aversions to meat. like ridiculous. except i could stomach meatball subs. weird.

TrumpetBride · February 2010

Ice. Not just any ice though, SONIC ice! (I was apparently super anemic during my pregnancy...) I would go through 4 Rt. 44's of their ice a day and my DH would buy bags of it every other day for home. Embarrassed

krstokes · February 2010

I crave cereal with this LO. With Kay it was mac and cheese with sliced pickles Ick!

. Couldn't eat that now if I tried.

jessNdean · February 2010

Hot dogs with Shredded cheddar cheese and Cheese fries. At least once a week

kellim · February 2010

I craved salad the entire pregnancy!

sevans1975 · February 2010

Nothing that was unusual for me, but once I got into my 2nd trimester, I NEEDED to have meat...steak especially. And that is extremely odd for me because as a rule, I didn't much care for steak.

If I even smelled a neighbor grilling anything that smelled like beef or chicken...I felt almost compelled to hunt it down and snarf it up!

a_chance2007 · February 2010

since about 10 w with DS i craved cheesy broccoli EVERY day. so every night that was one of the sides. haha after about 2 weeks of it i ended up having to make my self a helping of it and DH something else. i ate cheesy broccoli eveynight until the day i went in for induction.

IU_baby · February 2010

Milk and cereal. The cereal also had to be sugary, none of the healthy stuff.

katie_cj · February 2010

Green apple slices.

I craved them constantly.

I would of done fine on weight gain until the maple crunch ice cream cravings in 3rd tri.

TrumpetBride · February 2010

Oh! We also went to California Pizza Kitchen once a week for the Original chopped salad no tomatoes or garbonzo beans.

Tomkat8403 · February 2010

Birthday Cake with ice cream. I used to go and get individual sized birthday cakes form the grocery store.

The other thing was Taco Bell.

The weirdest? Burned hushpuppies...yeah, for real.

aelyngstad · February 2010

Pizza! It always sounded good. Poor DH I think I got for dinner at least twice a week for 8 mos.

Cereal was always good too, mostly Lucky Charms or Frosted Mini Wheats.

mrs. remy · February 2010

lemonade, cheese, spinach and eggs (I had a spinach and cheese omelet probably every sunday), and crunchy kettle cooked potato chips.

Jackswife123 · February 2010

I didn't eat anything buy Cambells chicken noodle soup, crackers and cheddar cheese for nearly a month b/c my morning sickness was so bad.

The weirdst thing I ate was homemade mac n cheese with italian dressing on it. ?It was really good BTW.

Also, I started drinking Coke, I loved it. ?I used to hate it. ?I think it was b/c it settled my stomach when I felt pukey. ?Don't worry, I only had one a day.?

C.Mo · February 2010

I drank OJ and ate cereal like it was going out of style. I also couldn't get enough sweets. When I was about 8 months pg, I drove to a doughnut shop on my lunch break, got a DOZEN, yes, dozen, doughnuts and scarfed them in the parking lot.

Starlette1983 · February 2010

Cake! ?I baked so many cakes while I was pregnant... I used to joke that I wouldn't have survived having GD because of my cake dependency! ?I was so happy when I passed that test... lol.

meryltheresa · February 2010

Fruity pebbles, and cinnamon raisin bagels with cream cheese for dinner...almost every night!

Most dairy and chocolate...put the two together and I was in heaven!

kellyperk85 · February 2010

Flavord Shaved Ice - snow cones.

karskaren · February 2010

Buffalo Chicken - YUM!

tlong · February 2010

anyway, i craved anything sweet. i had chocolate chip muffins (or banana nut) with chocolate milk every day. tons of cereal. i didnt gain much weight and my ob wanted me to so she told me to drink a milk shake a day. best doctors orders ever!!

MegDC · February 2010

Pineapple, lemonade (the real stuff from scratch) and cottage cheese. I have not had any of the above since DD was born.

katypresson · February 2010

Strongest craving? Milk. I only drink milk while eating certain meals (lasagna, peanut butter & jelly, etc)....but I HAD to have milk all.the.time. I was going through a gallon in 2-3 days. LOL!

twixx89 · February 2010

I would go to Full Moon BBQ and order a large sweet tea...poor the tea out, and then eat the ice. lol They have that awesome soft, barrel shaped, ice and it's amazing with the tea taste. haha

erino&chrish · February 2010

1st tri: carbs, esp Kraft Mac & Cheese from a box

3rd tri: ice cream and anything else edible

alaskabride2be · February 2010

IU_baby:

This! And it would hit me at about 9 pm every night. We went through so much cereal (Fruit Loops to be exact!) and milk.

jbl126 · February 2010

No weird cravings but I had to have anything strawberry flavored. I had strawberry milk and oreos every night. And since it was the summer, I loaded up on strawberry water ice.

mfransdell · February 2010

Grapefruit juice. I could down a whole bottle in a day. I never had it before I was pregnant and one day I was just like "I NEED this now!". Havent had it since

2bejunebride06 · February 2010

My strangest craving was for onions - I wanted onion on everything. I normally get sandwiches, burgers, etc. plain, so that was pretty out of the ordinary for me. I also wanted chicken mcnuggets all the time, but that is pretty normal for me!

tegl · February 2010

kellim:
I craved salad the entire pregnancy!

Exactly the same.

~Soleil~ · February 2010

Anything spicy!

robbie3982 · February 2010

I was obsessed with sardines, nutella and spaghetti. Thankfully the obsessions were separate.

MrsShackleford · February 2010

jalapenos, lots and lots of jalapenos

Temp67694062501186 · February 2010

York Peppermint Patties. I went thru bags and bags of the mini kind. And limeade or lime slushes from Sonic. Anything lime.

Natalie27 · February 2010

My strongest craving was wanting fruit...cut up fruit.....oh and sparkling apple cider.

BengalBelle · February 2010

Delaware Punch, Chili Cheese Fritos, cherry Starbursts and Fruit Loops. I needed them at various points to survive.

KayT27 · February 2010

I usually love chocolate and can't ever get enough of it. During 1st tri I had a huge aversion to it then during the rest of my pregnancy I craved it and was able to eat it again.

I also craved mexican food & ice cream all the time. I think the strongest craving I had was for apples with peanut butter. I don't normally like apples but while PG I had to have them!!
