sweet tooth!

in 3rd Trimester
So, I'm a FTM and I'm trying so hard to be healthy and fit for myself, my man and LO. I'm having a girl and I just CAN NOT get enough sweets!! I've never been huge into sweets and now it's all I can do to try and stay away from them. Had anyone else experienced this? Is anyone else struggling with this and does it go away after she's born??

    I don't know if it goes away since I am a FTM, but I am with you!!! I usually like a salty treat way more than sweets but my little girl must love her some sugar! I have eaten more ice cream this pregnancy than my whole life added together. I do try to eat lots of fruit, which helps. But sometimes its gotta be sugar!

    All 3 of my pregnancies I crave lots of sweets, but I have always been a sweets person.  Just like them a little more when I'm pregnant.  All 3 boys, too.  =)

    I craved salt with my baby girl, up until the last trimester, then all I wanted was sweets... and it didn't help that it was around halloween. Now with baby boy, I have similar cravings and I'm starting to crave sweets again. 

    It does go away.  And remember, sometimes your cravings are telling you something - your body is typically lacking something.  I crave more meat this time around, and I'm sure it's because my body needs the protein and iron.  I also crave milk more, meaning my body needs vitamin d and calcium.

    Same here. Right now I can't get enough chocolate shakes or Reese's Peanut Butter cups. When I'm not pregnant, all I want is salty foods - hardly ever eat sweets. I'm having a girl too.

    Yep. My little lady is demanding anything sweet at the moment. The creamier the better. Milkshakes, ice cream, chocolate. She wants to make her mama fat.
