3rd Trimester

Moving over from 2nd tri/ Food Craving Question

Hello!  2nd tri really flew by for me...I can't believe I'm here!  I posted this question on my month board, but I thought I'd ask it here also.

Have you noticed an increase in cravings/aversions in 3rd tri?  I've been craving nothing but cereal for the last 2 days (my dinner for the past 2 nights was Lucky Charms and a banana w/ peanut butter).  Even typing that, it sounds good, lol.

TIA

Re: Moving over from 2nd tri/ Food Craving Question

  • all through 2nd tri i would buy bags of frozen whole green beans and mixed vegetables and eat that most nights for dinner. this tri it's more intense but with cucumbers instead. i will seriously wake up some mornings thinking i have to have a cucumber.

    i know, my cravings are super-lame. 

    although, now i really want some lucky charms. /: 

     

    EDIT: how rude of me - welcome to 3rd tri. [:

  • Welcome! My food cravings have largely been in the protein category this whole pregnancy. First tri it was cheese and yogurt, second tri I ate more normally, and in my third I pretty much want meat. Eggs good... meat better.

    Cereal is my go-to evening food (and by evening, I mean ~3am).... honey-nut cheerios when I'm half asleep and this yummy flax/pumpkin seed granola when I'm awake enough to appreciate it.... and when I want it as a treat, I eat it with vanilla rice milk and it basically tastes like dessert.

    Funny--I just finished a bowl of Honey Nut Cheerios.  I may or may not have another.  :)  I craved a lot of protein in my second tri.

  • welcome to the tri 3 board :)

    i have less cravings this trimester than last, i think because my stomach is getting more cramped and eating is becoming less enjoyable...

    Lol- that is so funny... I feel the same way about watermelon! There must be something going on with Lucky Charms because I sent my DH to Walmart this morning for them.
  • My cravings in the 3rd tri didn't get any more intense, but I could eat a metric ton of whatever I was craving, that's for sure.

  • Oh my goodness- cereal!  My favorite snack/craving.  My saying is cereal makes everything better :)  Cherrios have been a fave, and I just got my special favorite, Rice Crispie Treat Cereal!  I had to buy them when I was visiting family in PA, as they don't sell it by be, so I am rationing it.  Yes, I feel my cravings lightened up in the 2nd tri and now are back in full force, and I am always hungry! 

    Other weaknesses: doughnuts, and sausage egg and cheese sandwiches with pancakes or waffles as the bread.  Yum.  I love breakfast :)

    Welcome to the 3rd tri!

  • I never had any cravings earlier on, I just wanted everything bland -crackers, non-sugary cereals, etc. Once the third trimester hit, all I've been wanting is milk and yogurt. I used to hate yogurt, but I can't go a day without a cup now!
