Are you craving something you NEVER ate before you got pregnant?

I cannot get enough lowfat chocolate milk. I'm monitoring myself because I don't want to take in too many calories, but I'd drink it all day if I could. Before I got pregnant, I've probably had 3 - 4 glasses of chocolate milk in the last 10 years.
I also suddenly LOVE Italian Wedding Soup. Never liked it before. At least it has lots of dark, leafy greens in it.

Re: Are you craving something you NEVER ate before you got pregnant?
Not a craving but, I have a strong aversion to meat!
It is the strangest thing because I love meat, especially beef.
It was red meat that clued me into maybe being pregnant. I'm usually not a fan, but one day realized that I'd had beef sliders for lunch, a cheese burger for dinner, and stole a few bites of my friend's burger late night. That's more beef than I usually eat in six months! I haven't wanted any since the first couple of weeks, though.
Like a PP, I can't get enough of eggs. I have always hated the yolk, but now love its slimey goodness all over my plate.
Also, salty foods. We don't even own a salt shaker because I never salt anything (except baked goods that require it). Now I love the stuff! I'm scared to try chips or other unhealthy, salty foods that I've never liked because I might love them now.
I am more along the lines of hating things that I used to love. I haven't had any red meat, all I can eat is chicken and pork. Vegetables make me want to throw up and I used to LOVE them and eat them everyday. I am hoping this will change.
I want all salty stuff too! Pre-pregnancy I had the biggest sweet tooth ever - now I don't want any of it. I would rather have something salty.DH keeps buying icecream and eating it all looking at me like "who are you not wanting icecream?".
This, exactly! I have a wretched sweet tooth and never turned down anything sugary in the past, but now I have no desire for it. I got a frozen custard a few days ago, was satisfied after a couple of bites, and tossed the rest. DH stared at me for a minute before he asked if I was okay. Usually I'm the one snatching his unwanted ice cream from the brink of disposal and finishing it myself!
This is me! It was our 3 yr wedding anniversary yesterday and I got NY Strip steaks for dinner. DH grilled them and I took one bite and almost puked it up. I cant look at raw meat or chicken and the smell of raw meat makes me want to hurl. so.gross.
this is me too. I usually hate carbonation.

EXACTLY!!! That's so weird. I mean, I usually like it, okay; maybe once a year. Right now, I feel like I could down a case a day!!! (I'm not; I'm forcing myself to stick to less than 2/week).
Oh, and another weird one; fruit on the bottom yogurt! I used to DESPISE it; I mean could not stand it. But right now, it's like heaven. lol.
Pregnancy cravings & aversions are soooooo weird!
