really bad sugar cravings?

RubineLimeRubineLime
in Babies: 0 - 3 Months

For a few days now I've been craving sugar non-stop. Not carbs or candy, but sugary drinks like soda, juice or chocolate milk. In the last 24 hours I housed a 2-liter bottle of root beer. (awful, I know)

I've never had problems with my blood sugar before, so I'm not really sure what this could be from.

 I have my 6-week PP appt on April 4, but wondering if I should give a call in to my primary in the interim. Any insight would be much appreciated.

    This is me too, but it's not limited to sugary drinks... For me I think it's just being a fat kid, not too out of the norm. 

    If I were you and it was totally unusual and it bothered me, I'd call!

    I have had had insane sugar cravings as well.  Dr. Pepper and Fun Dip (which I hadn't had since I was a kid!) have been the two big ones.  I'm not a big candy/sweet eating person normally.

    me too...I can't for the life of me figure out why because I don't eat a whole lot of sweets/junk food. As a matter of fact I didn't eat much at all during the pregnancy. But now I'm wanting ice cream, cookies, cakes....it's really strange. AND to boot I can't seem to be able to eat pork and fish/seafood....go figure.

    I've been craving all sorts of sweets ever since giving birth 7 weeks ago. I've always had a sweet tooth, but now it seems like I want sugar at every meal. I could eat candy and drink pop all day now. I don't know what it is, but I hope it stops soon because this sure isn't helping me lose the baby weight! Sorry I don't have any advice, but let me know if you figure out a solution!

    I'm glad to know it's not just me!  I was thinking that it was just because during my pregnancy, I was abnormally not interested in sweets... so now that I'm not pregnant, I'm going back to normal and liking chocolate and things again.  But it seems more excessive than that.

    I had the same thing happen to me. I was turned off chocolate during most of my pregnancy but after I came back from the hospital it was ALL i wanted. My mom said it was due to BFing like a PP said. Obviously her opinion isn't scientific :) but makes sense.
