Cravings: salty vs sweet

candicejeff2013 · June 2015

My first and second trimester I could care less about the sweet. ALL I wanted was salty! But now in my late second/early third trimesters I'm ALL about sugary cereal! I am now 31 weeks. But seriously it's cocoa pebbles, cinnamon toast crunch and now lucky charms all day every day if I could.

I'm right there with you. Love the sugary cereals, I would eat it for every meal if I could... I'm even craving root beer floats, and I haven't had root beer in like 15 years probably but it is SO GOOD haha...

The amount of cinnamon toast crunch that I eat is ridiculous! My family thinks my cravings are hilarious because I have never had a sweet tooth. I'm that person that will have an extra helping of dinner and skip desert but this pregnancy it's all about ice cream, sugary cereal, cookies and granola bars....not the good for you ones but the filled with sugar and other crap ones. Before this pregnancy I was all about real whole foods and lots of veggies now the only veggie that seems appetizing is cream corn which has about the nutritional value of cardboard and anything in smoothie form. It's crazy what pregnancy can do to you!

Same way- all I wanted 1st and 2nd was salt and savory now in my third all I want is sweets- luckily it's been healthy sweets like watermelon BUT cinnamon toast crunch and cherry water ice definitely have managed to make it in too

1st & 2nd tri was ALWAYS jalapeños , I HAD to have them I loved them before being pregnant but being pregnant made me crave them even more! but couldn't stand salty since I got pregnant and still can't but now it's all about sweets ! Can't get away from the sweets! Glad I don't have GD [-O<

Almost 32 weeks now and for the last week the sweets cravings have been intense! I don't want to blow the great progress I've had with weight gain the first 2 trimesters.

Salty the entire time except for when I wanted Frosted Mini Wheats! OP, I feel your desire for sweet cereal, it's intense.

Usually salty salty salty but we do get into a lot of pop tarts and chocolate chip muffins to satisfy the sweet tooth >>

Before I was pregnant I was all
About salty and savory, could easily pass on dessert or sweets. Now all I want is sugar, and it gets more intense with each passing week!!! Dang I haven't had sugary kids cereal since I was a kid but y'all just made me want to go out and get some CTC!

Same here. During 1st and 2nd trimester I could only eat salty. Now salty makes me sick and I've been eating far too many sweets.

I love sweet and salty together!

Dang, Cinnamon Toast Crunch is popular for us pregnant ladies! Lol that's what I've been eating too!

I agree with @kelseyrayay - sweet & salty together = amazing. If you haven't tried these chocolates, get them. I promise you won't regret it!

All I wanted 1st and 2nd Tri. was spicy and salty. I still like those things, but I have an intense craving for sugary now too. I really really want pancakes (I am very specific on the texture and taste), rhubarb cake/pie, ice cream and Fruit Loops with Marshmallows!
