I've been craving iced tea. Not a sip, more like I want to drink gallons of it!!! I don't trust myself to even buy any.
Why can't you have tea? I get decaf and make it at home. It helps balance drinking so much water.
---- My usual tea doesn't come in decaf. What brand do you like?
I've been buying Luzianne. It's the easiest decaf to find. I'm not concerned if I drink a little caffeini here and there, but if I want more than two glasses in a day, decaf is the way I go.
I too was craving sushi, so I picked up a vegetable roll yesterday (best idea I've had all year), it was so yummy! I'm trying to reduce my portions as I've already gained 3.5 pounds. I'm taking my meals and dividing them into two, which is what I did when training. But the problem I am having is I'm still hungry, buying almonds and grapes today hoping it will help in between my micro mini-meals.
If you're hungry, eat! Yes, moderation is important, but hunger is your body trying to tell you something. It doesn't matter as much when it's just you to worry about, but you've got baby along too now.
My doctor told me I can eat raw sushi. The fear is getting a food borne illness, just like eating sushi if you weren't pregnant. He told me, so long as I'm not eating leftover sushi lol or gas station sushi. It's quite alright. He said the raw fish has so many good nutrients. He even said his wife ate so much sushi with their second baby, and that kid turned out just fine. So, I went out and ate my weight in sushi after my first appt, that was 2 weeks ago.
I drug my DH to sushi last week. I had tempura rolls and I swear it was the best damn thing I've tasted in a while.
I was watching Jimmy Fallon last night and he played Drinko (like Plinko from Price is Right ). One of the drinks was gravy. Now all I crave is my mom's homemade stuffing. Anyone else get cravings just from watching tv or smelling something?
You drugged your hubby!?
I'm pretty sure she "drug him to sushi" as in she made him go- I read it a few times and don't see anywhere that she "drugged" him.

I was teasing. She dragged him to sushi. Not drug.

I go between hating and loving the idea of most foods right now (and usually settling on hate because of nausea) but sushi is just like...I need it. lol
I might have to drag my fiance to get sushi next paycheck.
I must be weird because before pregnancy, raw cookie dough was the best thing ever and now just thinking about it makes me want to gag.
I'm half-convinced the babies inside of me can't be mine because all I crave with them are things that if I saw someone my own age eating, I'd definitely make fun of them for eating. I went all the way to the grocery store yesterday afternoon just to buy a can of Chef Boyardee Spaghetti and Meatballs and I think it was about as satisfying to microwave and eat as a 4-hour slow-cooker lasagna I would make while not pregnant.
I think I always eat like a pregnant woman... I love weird combos like kimchee cheddar omelet crepes. DH got me bun (pronounced "boon") at the local Vietnamese place for dinner tonight--yum!
Anyone else craving any items in the off-limits category? Right now I would love some sushi, raw cookie dough, and a brie cheese & apple panini. I settled for a cooked shrimp roll and a baked cookie... But I'm missing my regular diet!
What are you craving???
Yep as others have commented on, egg free cookie dough is awesome! I haven't made it for my pregnancy, but when one of my friends was a couple years ago we did that and it was soooo good! Also, have you thought about doing california rolls? I'm pretty sure they are ok when pregnant since they don't have raw fish (from what I've heard).
Side note: Batter/dough will be my downfall too! First time I made pancakes after getting my BFP I was dying to lick the spoon! I was working one morning a week at a bakery and had left just before I found out, glad I did because that would have been torture! I love baking, but it's so hard not to taste everything while I'm making it!
All these tips helped!! I have been craving sushi too but I am going to wait until my first trimester is over. I love iced tea I drink regular but i dont have any other caffeine for the day! I still eat hot dogs and sandwiches
I know I'm making it worse for myself but posting on it, but I kind of wish this thread would get off the main page because every time I see it I crave cookie dough!
I went and ate sushi the other day. You can eat cooked sushi. And California rolls. The spider roll and rock n roll are delicious. But you can also ask what's cooked and what's not. Try the squid (ika) salad. That's yummy too.
My new craving was Spaghettio's, the awful tomato syrup soup can with pasta rings. I hadn't had them since a kid and they were so delicious until I got the worst heartburn.
But what I really want now is sushi and fried chicken.

I ate Spaghetti-o's for dinner almost every night last week. H just sat there giving me disgusted looks but it was soo worth it.

What cooked rolls can I get that dont have shrimp or lobster??? I am really allergic to those 2 fish. I used to get the spicy tuna or yellowtail or the Philadelphia roll raw.
Totally agree! Some brie is pasturized which made me a very happy camper! Idk what I'd do without my cheese! And all i want is cookie dough! I get cookie dough ice cream and just pick out the dough lol and I'm eating sushi in moderation and not too frequently.

Then there is the adverse effect. It is definitely not fun when just the thought of something sends me running for the bathroom.
