Post pregnancy cravings?!?

minni_ash · April 2013

My daughter is almost 4 months old and I have been craving chocolate like crazy! I never crave chocolate. I am breast feeding... Could this be a result of those hormones? I also get really hot a lot and wear only a fleece jacket went is 20degrees out. Usually I am always cold. Again...result of hormones?

I was hot for awhile too, but that has mostly gone away and I'm cold again. But I always crave peanut butter when I'm BFing. We go through a jar a week and that's mostly just me that's eating it! So yes, I would say the result of hormone

I never really loved chocolate until I was pregnant. I still crave chocolate nonstop 4 months post pregnancy! Also I used to love broccoli but had aversion to it while pregnant. Still can't eat it. Wish the craving/aversion was reversed!

With both kids I craved sweets (especially chocolate) when I started breastfeeding. I'm not normally a sweets person. I had the hot flash thing until the kids were a few weeks old but it stopped after that.

I think so too I'm in the same boat but I've always been a sweets person and I'm eating a lot more peanut butter as well! I wish they would go away already!

I wanted and ate a ton of chocolate after I had DS2.

I am BFing and crave chocolate like no other. I find if I consisitently take a prenatal and later in the day a calcium supplement, the craving subsides. I attribute the chocolate craving to my body actually needing more calcium due to the demands of nursi

I had terrible hot flashes for about a month pp and randomly have it again. I craved sweets when I was pregnant and that still hasn't gone away. I eat a dessert every single day! I'm BFing too.

I'm totally with you on the chocolate thing. I never ate chocolate or sweets pre-pregnancy. By my second trimester, I was a chocolate fiend, and it has not subsided. I LOVE COOKIES. It's ridiculous.

I crave avocados like crazy. I ate one every day for about 3 weeks, and I still eat a few a week. I also craze sweets. I think I am just more hungry in general!
