Candy. All of the candy. I've been craving Runts and I can not find them in the store anywhere. I have looked, believe me. So yesterday I ordered a 5lb bag off of Amazon. Don't judge me.
Sugar! Ice cream, candy, cookies, fudge, chocolate, donuts. I was doing so well with my weight gain. This doctor's appt is going to be a shocker, I know.
Ice cream, always ice cream. My stomach is upset right now so I'm trying to eat sensible BRAT diet type things, but all I want is stuff that will make it hurt worse later.
In the beginning I was crazy about waffles and also salad, but now I get cravings for peanut butter and banana shakes, beef jerky, certain types of fish, and fruit.
PB&J sandwiches and cheesy pasta dishes. I had to buy veggie noodles because I felt I was eating too much pasta lol. Thankfully weight gain is on track so not feeling super guilty right now. Also
anything cold! Smoothies are the best right now.
Carbs. Anything with bread and pasta. I've eaten so many Sheetz slushies for the first few months that I'm sick of them and have moved to the Icee brand. @MrsMaryK2016 we go to Walgreens and get the movie theater box size at least once a week. It's runts and sprees and bottle caps. No judgement here. They usually run 3 for 2.97. Its sad that I know that. After tax in NC its $3.18.. oops!

I used to be able to get them at Walgreens here too but I have checked 4 different ones and 2 CVS's and no Runts. Figures the one time I desperately want them I'm out of luck!
Twice I've had 2 really strong cravings (once for a cheeseburger and once for chocolate chip cookies) but I'm not sure they are pregnancy related because pretty sure I've craved those same items before haha
I have DESPERATELY NEEDED chicken wings for 2 days now. DH is going out with friends tonight, so I'm gonna stop and get some on my way home so I don't have to share!
The other night I NEEDED a chocolate bar. Wasn't even particular on the type. DH and I went to the store at 930 to buy some. No regret.
can I borrow your DH? Yesterday afternoon I told mine I needed cake....and he likes cake so I figured he'd get something. Got home and nope, nothing. He either doesn't believe me that I do have some cravings or he figures he shouldn't indulge them if they're "unhealthy". not cool dude, not cool (and yes I'm more than capable of going out and getting my own cake but it just would be nice for him to have gotten something like a cupcake as a nice surprise)
@kvruns I agree! It's not that we're not capable but the surprise (or even just the offer) is really nice! My cravings haven't been too bad so when I do have them he gets so excited and immediately offers to go. Plus I think he likes that he gets to indulge too. Hahaha
@kristah2 I figured cake was perfect because he LOVES cake - like way more than anyone I've ever met so any excuse for it would be perfect. I haven't had too many cravings, like maybe 3 strong ones and he always just ignores it. One of these days I hope it finally clicks for him that I'm pregnant and it would be nice for some extra thoughtfulness like that. Either that or I'll get my own damn cake and not share
One day a while back (around month 4) my cousin's wife mentioned that there was a new bundt cake shop that was in town. Just hearing that made me instantly want cake. Of course, I asked my husband to go get me some cake. He thought I was joking, but I was totally serious. He refused because he thought I was only joking, which pissed me off even more. He had a band practice that night, so while he was gone, I took myself to the grocery store, bought a birthday cake, took a picture of it and posted it and tagged him on facebook. "I'LL GET MY OWN DAMN CAKE. NOTHING FOR YOU, GOOD DAY SIR!" lol...i mean business when I talk cake.
I get lots of cravings, especially when I'm looking through Pinterest or if I see something on TV. My husband almost never indulges my cravings and I get so frustrated sometimes, especially when he discourages me from indulging on my own. Perhaps that's why I haven't gained a ton yet though, so maybe someday I'll thank him?
