I NEVER used to eat junk. The past few weeks though, I've been stopping for fast food more and more often and all I want is crap food! Is anyone else having this issue? The idea of a veggie is soooo gross!

Re: Eating more junk?
I can't get enough junk food, and I ate very healthy before I was pregnant. I try not to worry about it too much, I drink a lot of skim milk, take may prenatals, drink lots of water and try to allot myself a ration of junk food.
It seems that everything we "plan" for dinners and other meals are just so unappealing..
This! I craaave sweets like crazy! I NEVER eat candy bars or ever buy them. Now every time I am at the store I feel the need to purchase a twix bar! agh!
I'd always tried to eat decently healthy so the baby would get a variety of nutrients. I didn't have the best food habits before I got pregnant, so it was a challenge. In the mid/early stages of pregnancy, I was totally turned off sweets and all I wanted was citrus. The sweets cravings came back though, and with the acid reflux I eye my citrus in want but remember the pain that comes after!
Now i've made a bad habit for myself by having a chocolate shake in the evening sometimes to curb the acid reflux, and having a donut when I pass by my fav donut shop.... I'm letting myself do it for now until the baby is here, but man, that's going to be hard to break when it's all done!!!
I'm also the same way. Anything sweet I crave, especially chips (spicy nacho doritos) and gummi worms! LOL But i just try not to think about it to much, and drink plenty of water! Meat disgusts me, to even think about it.

i was the same, never drank pepsi, now the last week, all i want is pepsi and chocolate.i craved it all last week and wouldn't get either for myself, but by friday i gave in, i only have 4weeks left, so why not. i wouldn't mind before i was pregnant i was a health nut, always eating really healthy and goin to the gym.
now i am hungery all the time and want sweet stuff, i just try to keep it to a minimum.
Nope...I'm having a boy and all I want is sweet stuff - cake, cookies, ice cream...
I dunno, I couldn't stop eating chocolate and caramel (and hot cheetos, for some reason), and I had a boy XDD
I think it's just your body trying to tell you it's okay to be comforted by crap.
wow, you guys made me feel so much better - as i am writing this i am enjoying a bag of kettle corn and a bottle of gingerale for my second breakfast! I am totally with all of you who only want junk. I *heart* carbs right now! and i just discovered that I love bread & butter pickles - buying my first jar of them last night made me feel like a "real" pregnant lady. ha!
Little trick for sneaking in vegetables: when I make mac & cheese (which is often!), i like to mix in some small pieces of veggies (baby peas, chopped mushrooms,etc.). It might sound kinda weird, but it is pretty tasty - and it helps me feel less guilty about all the pasta & cheese!
happy snacking ladies!
This post made me feel much better! I've been craving junk like crazy! And I swear they put something addictive in the Taco Bell meat! Lol
I have craved green beans a few times lately, so let's hope my cravings start moving in that direction. I try to keep reminding myself to eat for the baby, not for me, but it's so hard when healthy foods sound disgusting most of the time!
I read and write this as I am eating cookie dough ice cream out of the carton searching specifically for the cookie dough chunks.
I also never drank pop prior to PG and now all I want is pop.
I have been eating healthy for years and I assured my doctor that I have great healthy eating and snacking habits, and I kept with that for the first 8 weeks or so and then suddenly I can't get enough soda! I hadn't drank soda in 5 years. I make a special trip to my friends house to use her Fry-Daddy, the very thought of that used to gross me out.
I used to eat raw veggies and drink 100% juice and 12 grain bread, now it's all about candy, soda and JUNK! I've been nauseaus since day 1, so my theory is that's it's better to eat junk than nothing at all.
My OB got on my case at my most recent appointment (16-weeks) because I confessed to my cravings for Egg McMuffins and Whoppers. My debit card shows me that I'd been to either McD's or BK twice a week for the last several... o.O... plus we eat frozen pizza at home...
I was a super healthy eater pre-pregnancy... now it's whatever I can get down... and I am too tired to cook most days... though after being scolded I've been better, but I still miss my Egg McM

Good, I hope I start craving some hamburgers really quickly lol...Right now its christmas cooking time. I never had a sweet tooth until after I became pregnant 11 years ago.It has never gone away : (
I knew I wasn't the only one! My last pregnancy, five years ago, I ate very healthy. I actually craved fruits and veggies and fruit juice. This time, nope, all I want is donuts, pb m 'n' m's and chocolate pudding. Oh, and baked potatoes!!! YUMM!! WTH is wrong here??? I can't even drink water or green tea (which is what I drank prepregnancy) without feeling like throwing up. I never usually ate donuts and junk before now, maybe a donut every other month or so. Im praying I don't gain a lot of weight. It sucks that it's winter and all the fruit tastes like *** too. It tastes so much better in the summer.
I am in my last trimester and my sweet tooth and burger craving has increased like crazy. I want ice cream, pie, cookies and burgers all the time. I had a whopper with cheese today and it was the thing ever. I had a sweet tooth before but not to this extent. I was nervous about my glucose screen because of it but it came back normal.
