i really love this board and getting advice from everyone! I look forward to checking in every time I pump or nurse.
GTKY....
Favorite pregnancy craving that you miss now because you are trying to lose that baby weight...
Mine would have to be chocolate milk! I miss it so much and I actually drink a glass on my cheat day (but don't think I'm a health nut that is really working hard on losing this weight). I used to have chocolate milk every night before bed, I would try to not do it and end up asking my husband to make me some
This is a great question! I craved pizza and ice cream. I occasionally have both but I was literally eating pizza twice a week and having ice cream almost every night.
I too miss seeing lots of discussions when I pump! Thanks for the GTKY.
I'll have to make this my favorite breast feeding craving, because actually I'm struggling to keep weight on while nursing DS
So right now I'm loving my chia pods (chia seeds in coconut milk with fruit flavoring) and spiced chai soy smoothies. I will definitely miss those when it comes time to cut it with the extra calories.

I never really had pregnancy cravings though I did find myself eating sweets more often. I would have a piece of dark chocolate (ok maybe two or three) after lunch almost every day.
@alisonc87 I totally miss my bump shelf to hold my bowls!! @lburkey21 I remember I needed that little piece of chocolate after lunch too! One day I wandered the office searching for just one piece of chocolate!
I didn't think I had any cravings either but I also got into the bad habit of having chocolate almost every day after lunch. I didn't realize that was such a common thing!
Great question!! I use to eat honey nut cheerios with vanilla almond milk regularly, so good. Also I craved ridiculous amounts of protein (eggs, bacon, peanut butter), I still have those but not nearly as much. Oh gosh, and tortilla chips, I could eat a whole bag. No wonder I gained so much "baby" weight!
Because I lost so much weight in the first two trimesters they said i could go crazy and eat whatever i wanted. pre pregnancy i was 135 and in the first trimester i went down to 110. I stil eat the same as when i was pregnant . in my third tirmester which was Taco bell soft tacos but now i dont eat them every day.
I never had a sweet tooth until my third trimester and it did not fade after I gave birth. I still crave grocery store birthday cake with giant frosting flowers! Give me the corner piece!
