Someone stop me.

I can not get enough meat, cheese, and nuts. I feel like an eating machine. I am having aversions to all things sweet. I am going to pack on the pounds! All I can figure is that my body wants either iron or protein. I didn't crave like this with my first child. I am not a big meat eater either. You might even say I'm a vegetarian at times. UGH.

I am insanely addicted to greek yogurt now! Avocados last week! Hopefully, yours will change throughout too! (Although, the cheeses and nuts are good, right?)

I know what you mean! Last baby, no cravings or changes in my appetite at all. Now I'm 8 weeks along with baby #2 and yesterday I polished off 2 fried chicken breasts plus a serving of homemade mac and cheese and a serving of green beans. Normally, just the concept of fried chicken would be so repulsively unhealthy to me I wouldn't even touch it! Oh, and two nights now I have woken up at 4AM with gnawing in my stomach so bad I had to go downstairs and fix a snack of peanut butter crackers just to make it stop enough to fall back asleep.I'm only going to worry, though, if this keeps up for more than a few weeks. Otherwise, I feel like it's just a passing symptom.

I am feeling the exact same way. I usually don't eat meat at all, except for the occasional burger. Now all I want to eat is meat. Doesn't matter what kind, pork, chicken, red- it's all the same. I assume because I don't have enough iron stored up? But what do I know?

Trying to not think too much into it, I have a hard time with eating animals.

Good Luck

I know exactly how you feel and this is exactly what it was like for me last time. I was a vegetarian before DS then started craving red meat with him. Then I was low in iron and protein with him so I went back to eating poultry and fish when I was pregnant with him, and occasionally red meat when I craved it. Now again all I want is red meat. We have ordered pizza 3 times in the past week and a half and every time I NEED hamburger and green pepper pizza. I don't even like the idea of eating red meat. I have read enough about it that even the thought of it made me sick, except for some odd reason when I'm pregnant.

With my 1st pg I was very similar to you. Anything sweet was totally repulsive to the point I had to force myself to eat fruit! During that pregnancy I couldn't get enough bacon and V8 juice. With this pg, I haven't noticed the intense bacon cravings and I feel more balanced nutritionally. Weird right?

I hear you! All I have been wanting is Pulled Pork sandwiches, which I generally don't even eat! I ate 3 pork chops the other night for dinner. I try to fill up on fruits and veggies, but then the meat is calling my name!

I wish I could at least find something I'm craving. I'm not really having aversions or cravings to foods, it's just that nothing sounds good, but I get so hungry I eat whatever is there, but I'm not really enjoying anything.

I'm right there with you! My first pregnancy no craving and a huge aversion to anything pork related. This time all I want to do is eat. Doesn't matter what and it doesn't really satify either. I'm trying to work out more to balance the eating but I don't think any amount of eliptical will counterbalance the ginormous piece of pound cake I just ate Embarrassed

I'm the same way! I'm not opposed to sweet things (although I'm not really craving them either) but bread and/or carbs are a nightmare. They taste and smell like GLUE! My morning-sickness-saltines don't work - they make me heave. I pick the meat or cheese out of a tortilla or sandwich. I can't eat enough protein. It's insane. My doctor told me to go with it because protein is what the baby needs most at this stage. That made me feel a little better.
