Cravings.. tell me I'm not crazy!

This may sound ridiculous, but I have had one major craving for 8 months.... Chocolate cheesecake.
Believe it or not, I didn't indulge in any until last Saturday! And man was it gooood!
Well, now I am wanting doughnuts. Is it ridiculous that I'm timing when my kids have to go to bed that way I can get some and not have to share? Lol
I feel like a pig, but I've eaten so healthy all week and just want to stuff my face now!

Please tell me I'm not the only one with an insatiable appetite right now???

    I just made cheesecake today actually! It turned out great. We had seasoned chicken breast with roasted veggies for dinner to help offset the crazy calories in our cheesecake dessert! But yes, I would think it's normal to have cravings.. You ARE preggo.... ;p lately I've been LOVING the smell of basements, and the first couple minutes after turning on the air conditioner... I hope I'm not the only one! Lol

    Chocolate cheesecake sounds amazing! I crave cookies and ice cream everyday. I have never had a sweet tooth until becoming pregnant. My aunt informed me that she craved jalapeños covered in big red while she was pregnant. Now that is a weird craving lol.

    Same here!!!!! I love baking, but never eat much of it! My kids think it's weird that I don't have much of a sweet tooth. Now that I'm pregnant, I can't get enough!!!

    I majorly crave sweets in the third tri. Like all the time basically! I crave donuts on the daily but I've only had them like 5 times total this whole pregnancy.

    I crave honey bunches of oats cereal lol. I usually do not eat sweets, or drink milk for that matter, but ever since the middle of my second trimester I have a bad sweet tooth. I also crave chocolate chip muffins!

    Normally I don't eat sweets. Not because I try to be healthy but because I generally don't care for them. However with both of my girl pregnancies I can't get enough cookies, brownies, ice cream, etc. I find myself purrusing the bakery section of the grocery store every week.

    I've had two cravings the whole pregnancy. My great grandmothers chocolate cake and Thai food from a place 45 mins away. I finally made the cake last week and it was awesome! I'm good on that now. Still haven't gotten my Thai food. :(

    I was just saying yesterday how crazy my cravings are for sweets. Pre-pregnancy I could EASILY walk away from chocolate and any type of dessert. Now? Not a chance in the world. It's kind of torturous.

    This whole pregnancy I was craving really healthy stuff. I wanted melon, pineapple, milk, asparagus, cauliflower, etc. I kid you not, a few days before my GD diagnosis, I started craving ice cream. Not just any ice cream. Ice cream loaded with candy toppings. I didn't indulge because I was too busy and was trying to stay healthy. Then I got the diagnosis and I CAN'T have it. Now I want it more than ever :-(

    ETA: Eat it while you can!

    Pizza! Basically, even if it's a slice of bread with tomato sauce and cheese, I will devour it. And I got to have some fantastic deep dish pizza when I was home last week and now I'm craving it...

    Reading this thread was not a good idea :-P

    I was all about cheese steak with strawberry syrup at ihop last weekend. The weird stares were totally worth it.

    Uggggg.... I just drank a Mountain Dew. I haven't had one in about 17 years. Feeling guilty yet so satisfied (maybe a little sick from all the sugar).
