So I know we had a craving thread a while ago but I thought it'd be fun to see what's changed for everyone in second trimester.

Re: All About That Food
Still around from 1st trimester cravings: All. The. Carbs.
Absolutely the grossest sounding food to you right now: CHICKEN. Makes me nauseous to write the word.
Fun or awful craving related stories so far? I don't really have any fun stories, most of my craving or aversions issues are simply annoying!! For about a month I was craving Grands cinnamon rolls so I'd make them every Saturday morning. Last Saturday I was literally chewing on my 1st one and it suddenly became the grossest thing in the entire world. Annoying.
I don't have any sort of craving for anything seafood any longer (second trimester change), I'm not sickened by it but have ZERO desire to eat it! And I used to love crab cakes, salmon, shrimp, etc!
Other than that... I get cravings based on what other people eat or suggest! Haha! Like someone mentioned mango recently and I had to have a mango!
Still around from 1st Trimester cravings: The sweets!
Absolutely the grossest sounding food to you right now: I can't think of anything. I think I would eat practically anything put in front of me. I have been massively hungry for days.
Fun or awful craving related stories so far? In the 1st trimester I woke up one Saturday craving scrambled eggs. I didn't want boiled, or fried or anything else . . . Just scrambles eggs with with cheese and fresh parsley on toast. I begged DH to make it and he was more than happy to. I stayed in bed while he cooked but the moment that smell hit the bedroom I had my very first wave of intense nausea. I never actually ended up with any morning sickness at any point but on that day I was so dizzy and nauseated from that egg smell I couldn't even sit up. I ended up laying on the bathroom floor for an hour.
Still around from 1st trimester cravings: jelly beans, nachos, peachieos
Absolutely the grossest sounding food to you right now: eggs! Or pho! Shrimp is up there too though
Fun or awful craving related stories so far?
None yet. Although BF has tried to tell me that food aversions are in my head and then I've full on thrown up in public just seeing the food. So there's that.
Still around from 1st trimester cravings: Taco Bell... Taco Bell... Taco Bell. I just can't get enough. I asked my husband to limit me to only once per week.
Absolutely the grossest sounding food to you right now: Bacon... I had to toss a sandwich after it had bacon in it. And this hurts me because I LOVE Bacon...
Fun or awful craving related stories so far? The funniest was when all I wanted was Cantaloup for a couple days straight in the first trimester. My DH thought he was being proactive by going to the store and buying like 3 cantaloupes to keep on hand. When he sliced open the first one I took a bad bite and then I no longer wanted it. We were stuck with all this fruit that neither myself nor my DH wanted!
Still around from 1st trimester cravings: fruit! All the fruit!
Absolutely the grossest sounding food to you right now: Sweets.
Fun or awful craving related stories so far?
Nothing really. My husband has been a saint about running to the store!
Recent cravings: Mac n cheese
Still around from 1st trimester cravings: Cicis pizza
Absolutely the grossest sounding food to you right now: any meat
Still around from 1st trimester cravings: Greek yogurt and fruit.
Absolutely the grossest sounding food to you right now: Nothing really. Though I use to LOVE brownies, cookies, cupcakes, etc but now the thought of it is just not appealing. I love to bake and since I've gotten pregnant I've baked one time. I'll eat a cupcake or something every now and then but ehh. Unfortunately, I still dig chocolate though I haven't eaten it nearly as much.
Fun or awful craving related stories so far? None really.

Recent cravings: a Big Mac
Still around from 1st trimester cravings: Chinese, orange juice
Absolutely the grossest sounding food to you right now: no real aversions right now
Fun or awful craving related stories so far? I had mentioned when a friend was here helping with some house projects and then again when he called to check in about something a few days later that I was seriously craving Chinese food. We stayed with him and his wife the following weekend for a wedding DH was in. I skipped the rehearsal and dinner. When the wife asked what we should all have for dinner, he totally convinced her we should order Chinese.

Jelly beans. Also, everything.
Still around from 1st trimester cravings:
Soup! I've always been pretty take-it-or-leave-it with soup, but I'm so into it right now! I forget who posted the turkey and kale soup recipe in one of the last food threads, but I've made it three times and it's so good!
Absolutely the grossest sounding food to you right now:
...except clam chowder. I maxed out my clam chowder intake in trimester 1, and now I can't stand the thought of it. Although it was all canned clam chowder, I would probably be good with fresh clam chowder from a restaurant.

I'm just glad to see I'm not the only one who is making their husbands crazy by craving something hard core and then being done with it. He has bought me so many things (at my request) that I had a little bit of, enjoyed, and so he bought more... and I'm like, "nope, I never want that again."
Still around from 1st trimester cravings: Salad, lots of water, anything sweet with cream-cheese (basically, cream cheese icing and veggies are my best friends this pregnancy), walnuts/almonds, olives and avocados.
Absolutely the grossest sounding food to you right now: Swiss cheese, shrimp, many meats
Fun or awful craving related stories so far? In the first trimester, I hit a day where I was craving a hamburger badly at 8pm, especially since I hadn't really been craving a lot of meat, DH jumped at the chance to drive us to Five Guys for huge, delicious burgers. Our son was so confused because we were sitting in a basically empty restaurant eating at his bedtime...
Edited to actually follow the set rhythm.
Besides that just been craving oranges, milkshakes and chocolate milk
Still around from 1st tri: I had more aversions than cravings in this period so none.
Grossest food right now: Mexican food
Awful cravings: Actually last night. I ate a breakfast bowl I made for DH ( I make a weeks worth every week) that had eggs, potatoes, salsa, and cheese in it. Sounds normal enough except I made it swim in ketchup.
Been married since 2009.
Unicornuate Uterus (yes I menstruate glitter)
Several MCs
DD born 2013 (our miracle "you can't have babies" baby!)
Still around from 1st trimester cravings: Bread, more bread. Then bread again.
Absolutely the grossest sounding food to you right now: Candy. All the candy. Yuck.
Fun or awful craving related stories so far? My SO spent 3 hours looking for the particular brand of lemonade I wanted. Funny for me, awful for him
virgin margaritas on the rocks---does anyone know a good recipe? the restaurants made it so good, and then I tried to make it at home from recipes online with OJ, limemade and 7up and it tasted bad... Help?
Still around from 1st trimester cravings: Pasta forever, especially mac & cheese (but I used to eat a lot of pasta before pregnancy anyways...)
Absolutely the grossest sounding food to you right now: Chicken
Fun or awful craving related stories so far? 1st tri I barfed after eating Culver's and then got super constipated after pizza, so I've been avoiding those now which is good anyways
Anyone else get hungry and NOTHING sounds good? I keep being like ehhhh what do I eat... I guess pasta sounds eh ok. Like my food cravings haven't been meal things really...
My recent craving was avocados! They just popped into my head at work and it was all I could think about. I went straight to the store and bought two and ate a half for dinner and then my last three lunches. It was glorious. I could still eat them but the desire is not as urgent.
The only weird craving that I had hit me again from first trimester was a McDonald's cheeseburger and fries. We rarely even eat it so it was pretty random. But when I had it both times it was the greatest thing ever. I eat a ton of fruit but that's normal for me.
I too am super averse to chicken and most meats other than steak. Fish I was ok with until very recently. The word chicken would make me gag last time around so I'm not really surprised.
Recent cravings: clementines. This craving has been holding strong for 2 weeks or so. Other than that, I wouldn't say I have any consistent craving.
Still around from 1st trimester cravings: nothing really...
Absolutely the grossest sounding food to you right now: meat. But that's really no different than non pregnant me.
Fun or awful craving related stories so far? One night I had sesame bagel with scallion cream cheese, a grapefruit and mint chocolate chip ice cream for dinner.
I think I just like to eat. So if it's good, I'll house it.
Still around: tea, carbonated water, yogurt
Aversions: soda, coffee, seafood (and sometimes whatever I ate for dinner last night!)
ETA: I MUST eat everything that has preservatives! At all times!
Mama to Three Girls:
Twins born March 2014 at 26 weeks due to preterm labor
and our 37weeker born May 9th, 2016!
Also craving anything I don't have to shop for, make, and then clean up (before this pregnancy I was happily making all meals/snacks for my family as we are really healthy eaters and love fresh food but lately after chasing a non napping toddler and pregnancy I would just like to eat some food and move on; something easy you know? although this isn't always possible).
Also craving iced tea, but not letting myself have as much as I want of that.
Recent cravings: balonge sandwiches
Still around from 1st trimester cravings: Everything and add cheese to it and I'm a happy camper esp cream cheese!!
Absolutely the grossest sounding food to you right now: I'm with ya'll with the chicken thing. I think it will be ok for dinner, I cook it and then I'm just totally turned off by it and cant eat it. Same with Tuna, I loved tuna before, and it sounds good now, but I make it and I can't eat it. And the smell of pizza hut pizza, which used to be a weekly favorite in our house. Now just thinking of the smell makes me sick.
Still around from 1st trimester: strawberries!! I would like to sit in a field of them and eat them all!
Absolutely the grossest sounding food: Beef stew and Velveeta mac n cheese but mostly beef stew eewwww make me so sick thinking about it.
Still around from 1st trimester cravings: jarred olives, radishes and ranch dressing
Absolutely the grossest sounding food to you right now: I agree with the whole chicken thing. I normally like it, but now it sounds gross whether it is fried, grilled, baked, etc. Any kind of fish, which sucks, because I normally love all kinds and we live by the coast with so many great seafood restaurants that I no longer want to eat at. At least I'm not craving sushi anymore!
Still around from 1st trimester cravings: I don't think I really ate much the 1st tri (as evidenced by my 24lb weight loss!) but Taco Bell ALWAYS sounds good (only now I don't throw it up a half hour after I eat it)
Absolutely the grossest sounding food to you right now: Mushrooms...and I used to LOVE stuffed mushrooms.
Fun or awful craving related stories so far? We literally had no food in the house except eggs and spinach (which are my son's favorites, but are making me nauseous) so my son was all set for dinner and had "green eggs", MH was working late and wouldn't be home for dinner, so I went to the convenience store down the street and picked up cheddar cheese flavored popcorn and a pint of Late Night Dough Ben and Jerry's ice cream. Don't forget the chocolate milk! The dinner of champions!
Still around from 1st trimester cravings: ALL the citrus!
Absolutely the grossest sounding food to you right now: Salmon which makes me sad because we used to eat it about once a week. I have so many awesome recipes for it, but just can't stomach it.
Fun or awful craving related stories so far? The other night I woke up at midnight and wanted milk so bad but didn't want to get out of my warm bed to get it. I literally started crying because of it. It was bad.
Still around from 1st trimester cravings: Ice cold pepsi or fountain coke... I drool just thinking about it.
Absolutely the grossest sounding food to you right now: Lunch meat and fish do not sound good right now.
Fun or awful craving related stories so far? Today at lunch with two co workers waiting on our food and we had the little buzzer things.. my stomach was growling so loud, I was starving.. my co worker is mid sentence and my buzzer goes off and I almost yelled "YES!" and sprang up from my chair and they started laughing. It was out of my control...
Still around from 1st trimester cravings: I still love the sound of watermelon but since it is out of season I can't find any that's worth eating.
Absolutely the grossest sounding food to you right now: Chocolate. It is really sad, I LOVE chocolate.
Fun or awful craving related stories so far? Nothing really... my H makes fun of me for wanting to have the same meals all the time, when he asks what I want for dinner it's always a burrito. I compromise though because I'd rather eat dinner with him than have burritos every single night.
Still around from 1st trimester cravings: EGG. ROLLS. Basically Chinese anytime. I convinced DH that we want to go to Pei Wei for dinner tonight. YUMMMM. Also it's hard for me to steer away from bagels and cream cheese right now.
Absolutely the grossest sounding food to you right now: Unless it's fried or in a soup or something, chicken is mostly a no-go for me. Can't stand the smell of chicken cooking. Also, seafood unless it's fried. (see a pattern here?!)
It's so funny how cravings change from pregnancy to pregnancy too. Last pregnancy I craved everything processed and Taco Bell, etc, and couldn't even stomach the thought of a salad! I also see a HUGE difference in my weight gain this time!
Still around from 1st trimester cravings: Carbs. Specifically spaghetti. I could eat it every day if it didn't drive DH nuts.
Absolutely the grossest sounding food to you right now: Meat. I only eat seafood and fish, but it just sounds so horrible to me right now.
Fun or awful craving related stories so far?
Still around from first trimester: Gold Rush apples (it's very specific, it has to be Gold Rush, all other apples are dead to me), chocolate, pomegranates.
Absolutely the grossest: nothing new or pregnancy-related, it's all the same stuff I didn't like before. I am 100% in the camp of people who get things thinking "yesss this is totally what I want" and take one bite and dump them, though. I don't even want to think about how much money I've wasted on rejected food while pregnant.
Grossest sounding good- Um basically anything healthy!! haha it's so sad
Fun craving story- I hid in my bathroom the other day and ate three bags of gummy bears the other day so my husband wouldn't see me haha
I'm totally shocked that you did not mention pizza or chicken nuggets lol
