1st Trimester

Cravings? Aversions?

Hey everyone! Are you having crazy food cravings? What kinds of foods make you sick to your stomach?

For me, it's Mexican food, yogurt, bagels with cream cheese and CARBS! Pasta, bread, crackers, anything starchy to quell the nausea. I have also been craving sushi the last couple of days. My eating habits have done a 180 since I became pregnant! Every day at work I used to eat a salad with chicken and hard-boiled eggs. Now both make me sick! I find myself passing the veggies in favor of breads and noodles, which I avoided pre-pregnancy. But when you're throwing up and food just sounds so disgusting, toast with butter is better than nothing, right??

    I've been eating yogurt as a snack at night!mi tried the light and fit Greek yogurt for the first time the other week and loved it. I've had the yo plait before and wasn't a fan at all, but the light and fit is delicious!

    I've been craving Chinese food like crazy! I've had it literally five times in the past two weeks. I've also been craving cheesesteaks. I've been eating BBQ sauce a lot lately too, I've dipped pizza in it, cheesesteaks in it, and I've been outing it on sandwiches and even in ramen noodles. lol I am very happy I haven't formed an aversion to veggies. Carrots taste funny to me now, but I've still been eating them.

  • I crave carbs with a side of carbs!  Bagels, cereal, Mac & Cheese, bread w/ butter, spaghetti, mashed potatoes.  All delicious!  I've only had two food aversions - ranch dressing & potatoes fried in olive oil.  But they were only one time occurrences I assume because I just ate ranch dressing the other day again and I could live off different forms of potatoes.

    Lately my appetite has been coming back and I can't get enough green beans or asparagus! 

    Craving threads always make me hungry..   :))

  • Omg, me too. It's crazy, I was doing amazing before finding out about pregnancy!! Now I'm constantly shoving food in my face just so I'm not sick!!
  • Someone said haiwain pizza and I almost puked! I usually like that. The last couple days I wanted wild rice soup. I had it for lunch today. Delicious.
  • I love ham. I mean LOVE. But the thought of it, I'm gagging as I type. RIP Ham.
  • My love for DDs iced coffee or any coffee is gone :/
  • My current lust is everything spicy... although I just had a salad and some pasta. I haven't had much trouble with MS, just the occasional random nauseous feeling, so I've been TRYING to coerce my cravings towards semi-healthy stuff (like dried apple slices instead of a giant slice of CAKE!). Last week's lust was beef jerky - the sweet & hot flavor. I haven't come across any serious aversions yet, just bigger than normal reactions to smelly stuff in general. Also drinking TONS of water and trying to eat something every few hours. 
  • For me it is anything vinegar-like... salsa, hot wings, pickles, olives
  • All of your replies are too funny! It's good to know I'm not alone in these crazy cravings. The last few days the morning sickness has turned into intense all day sickness and the only thing that makes me feel better is yogurt and ginger ale.
  • My current craving is fruit with cool whip. I think I'll be making a trip to wal mart after I go to the gym!

  • I haven't had any aversions but I have noticed that I don't eat as much of certain foods as I did before pregnancy. I crave tuna sandwiches and chocolate chip bagels, my favorite 2 things now.

    I have definitely been on an all carb diet, I love breads and pastas even more than I did before. It's like all I want. Of course my love for sweets has increased too, I wish I could eat sweets all day everyday :)

  • I definitely can't eat much in one sitting.... I am making myself eat every 2-3 hours so I don't feel nauseous. I am really hoping it stays at nausea and doesn't grow to actually getting sick. This is my first. :)

    How far along are you? The nausea was really manageable until I hit 9 weeks...then HOLY CRAP I feel so sick! Like the worst hangover without the fun the night before. I've heard MS peaks around this time. Hopefully I will be feeling better soon! 
  • I couldn't handle any kind of chicken In the first trimester . Now in the second nothing sounds bad
