What My Pregnant Self Is Eating 12/6

kat0607 · December 2016

Cravings? Aversions? Ravenous or repulsed? Let's hear it all!

kghusker1003 · December 2016

I have days where everything makes me sick and then days where I eat everything in sight. I have been craving sauerkraut though with those baby wieners. Also hamburger is a huge aversion currently.

RHDCmama · December 2016

For the past 4 days I was craving fajitas, so I made them last night and it was amazing! I have been craving salty and spicy. Sweet things make me sick to my stomach all of a sudden, which is so out of character. I normally have such a sweet tooth!

supermom83 · December 2016

All I want to eat are pancakes. I wake up thinking about them, I eat them for lunch and dinner. It's all I want!

plumpous · December 2016

All I want is fage Greek yogurt with the cherry flavor. No other brand.
And salad. With lots of greens and Italian dressing.
I'm kinda repulsed by food and coffee but I'm also hungry.

LuLiLaEv · December 2016

Last night I was craving a house salad from a local Italian place! It totally hit the spot!

I'm pretty much to the point where if it sounds good I eat it immediately cause if I don't the thought of it 10 min later will make me sick.

kat0607 · December 2016

I was craving salad too, yesterday!! More than anything though, shredded lettuce. I NEED shredded lettuce. Tonight for dinner I'm making a salad and tater tots.

mjacks16 · December 2016

@kat0607 OMG, tater tots - that sounds amazing!

I've been on a big smoothie kick as I just can not get eggs down in the am. Have also been craving Mexican, got a burrito yesterday. Anyone else finding they just do not want to cook when they get home now? I usually cook every weeknight, but since being preg, I just have no desire or motivation to.

SaphireSweetie88 · December 2016

I haven't been eating as much as I was a couple weeks ago because I am not hungry. When I do get cravings, it is always for "junk food" such as sour cream & onion chips or the Hostess chocolate donuts....

tuxielove93 · December 2016

In general, I hate everything. I buy stuff at the grocery store that I like for approximately 3 days, and then I'm over it. Some of the food I just got only lasted two days before I'm turned off by it. But I got an amazing falafel wrap for lunch today, and for reasons I will never understand it tastes great.

realgoodthing · December 2016

Pasta. All the pasta. Lots of avocado toast. Had a huge craving for sundried tomatoes the other day. Constantly snacking on cashews and those tiny mozzarella balls from Trader Joe's to try to fend off nausea.

JAM85 · December 2016

Lobster and shrimp with drawn butter. Got some lobster on sale and had it last night and it was amazing. Also these summer fresh rolls from a Thai place. They are the none fried ones that are basically salad in rice paper with this yummy peanut sauce. Chicken and vegetables can still take a hike according to my aversions which sucks because I'm normally a health nut. Also bacon, soups, and coffee which I have to make daily for my private chef gig during the week

RHDCmama · December 2016

@kerils now I need a falafel for dinner tonight

mslynn2012 · December 2016

I'm always starving, but I get so full so quickly, it's annoying. I want all the salt! Chips, cheese, anything salty!

oheliza44 · December 2016

I haven't had much of an appetite lately and the only thing that consistently sounds appetizing is fruit (pineapple and berries especially.) Yesterday all I could think about was Kraft macaroni and cheese. I don't think I've had box mac and cheese since college. I ate an entire box for dinner with a peanut butter brownie for dessert. #noregrets.

LarkSparkle · December 2016

@kerils Yes. Avocado toast is one of the few things I've been able to eat. I'm going to turn into an avocado toast.

@kghusker1003 You're making me feel better. Burgers were the greatest thing, and then I had one on Friday and it was awful! How can burgers be awful? This is not scientifically possible.

OperaSingerMommy · December 2016

@leilac Yesss pasta pasta pasta. When I was pregnant with DD, from about week 13-17, I would wake up at night and make myself a box of velveeta shells and cheese, eat the whole thing, and then cry when it was gone. I think both baby and I had a growth spurt that month lol.

ladipale · December 2016

Avocado toast for days..
and anything with potatoes! french fries, tater tots, baked potatoes.
Sour candy

^^^^^^^^^^^ Yes This!

MaMinette13 · December 2016

I was craving paian pasta with butter, but it morphed into plain rice with butter. I am leaning towards brown rice, but I think any will do at this point. I had it for lunch and dinner yesterday, and now it's all I can think about!!

mango15 · December 2016

Salty pre-made junk. (Frozen bean and cheese burritos and cup-o noodles) I'm usually a sweets type of gal and that doesn't sound d good. I normally LOVE Mexican food but haven't had any since week 5

LimeKrazy · December 2016

This whole thread is making me hungry! I'm starving pretty much all the time. I only feel nauseous if my stomach is empty. No specific cravings but every night for the past week I've had a cup of hot chocolate and a peppermint swiss cake roll as a bed time snack

realgoodthing · December 2016

Update: I just paused in the middle of maternity shopping to go into Cheesecake Factory and eat half a slice of peanut butter chocolate cheesecake, because after @oheliza44 mentioned her PB brownie, it was all I could think about.

nikkiandchris · December 2016

I want anything salty. Spicy V8 takes the nausea away immediately. Pickles, cheese, pepperoni, yummm.

My big aversion is mac and cheese. Procreation is weird.

nikkiandchris · December 2016

@mango15 oh my gosh cup o noodles sounds amazing. You can guess what random pregnancy errand hubby will be running tonight.

oheliza44 · December 2016

@leilac yesss!!! Hope the peanut butter cheesecake hit the spot!

mango15 · December 2016

@nikkiandchris cup-o-noodles were purchased I. Costco quantities this weekend. Luckily they are cheap so if the craving goes away it's no big loss. I won't be hiding it from work much longer, i got several side-eyes when I was heating up food today.

RubyRedPirate · December 2016

I'm not having bad food aversion anymore, I just don't have the desire to eat. I don't feel hungry then I get nauseous and realize I went too long without a snack. No cravings yet.

kat0607 · December 2016

WELL I went to the grocery store, bought a ton of veggies and salad ingredients, ketchup for my tater tots, came home and made it all..... aaaaand the salad is making me gag. Seriously?!? I've been looking forward to this meal all day and now I can only eat the tots HAHA ugh. DH thinks I'm being dramatic.

bostonlady-2 · December 2016

I just ate a whole bag of Qdoba chips and queso. The whole bag! I feel terrible now but it was delicious at the time. Sigh.

mamadcb · December 2016

rojita-2 · December 2016

After a late night at the office I came home to a fully cooked a ready meal of jerk chicken on the table - my DH had clearly spent time labouring on it and was so proud. Unfortunately the smell hit me the moment I walked in the door and it's made me so nauseous all night long. And I ordinarily love my spicy foods!! My poor hubby...

Oh, and I think baby may be a vegetarian... the mere thought of meat just churns my stomach these days.

star_beagle · December 2016

I cannot stand the thought of chicken...looking at it, let alone eating it. Even already cooked. I do, however, subsist on ground turkey...we'll see how long that lasts.

I've started eating smaller meals, but I'm hungry like every 1.5-2 hours. I am not a tart apple person usually, but I cannot live without granny smith apples. And almonds. And Pop Tarts. Weird.

DarkSerendipity · December 2016

I have been on such a huge salad and fruits/veggies kick, it's ridiculous. My appetite has been building to ravenous proportions lately, and if I don't eat within a certain amount of time, I start getting really nauseous.
But yesterday it was waffles, Ramen noodles, and spaghetti.

BMG2013 · December 2016

One of my local restaurants has something called a "sloppy burger" with russian dressing and coleslaw. I ate it once and now it's the only thing I crave nonstop!! So good

RunRestRepeat · December 2016

@LarkSparkle and @kerils MMMMmmmmmm avocado toast! I swear, if I get any aversions to avocados this pregnancy, I'll cry!

@mjacks16 I'm not struggling with cooking, more the clean up. I had planned on making one of my most favorite dinners last night, but it makes a TON of dishes. I was totally prepared and excited to cook it, but the thought of cleaning it all up by myself (my husband is out of town) led to me making pancakes instead! @supermom83 You are right - pancakes are amazing right now - I even brought leftovers for lunch!

My biggest craving right now is over-medium eggs. Which I can't have. Boo.

morgarita · December 2016

I just went to the more expensive grocery store bc they have premade dinners, I just don't have the energy or stomach to make dinner anymore. But I got these awesome vine and stem oranges, cupcakes, Noodle and veggie broth soup, whipped mozzarella cheese, premade Caesar salad, a good loaf of bread and milk. $60 but it's amazing food. The other grocery stores have rediculously bad produce sometimes with fruit flies already so I love going there but it's like twice the price and I bought in store made stuff.

@nikkiandchris I need spicy v8 now. I don't even like tomato juice but for some reason it sounds amazing. Just got home and the only thing holding me back from going to get it is the 23 degree weather.

@BMG2013 so it's a burger patty with Russian and coleslaw uh I might have to make that. No cheese? I might add some Swiss.

born2runrn · December 2016

All I want to eat are cheese sandwiches, olives, and ice cream (not all together!) I am repulsed by mostly everything else.

kat0607 · December 2016

I lost the "can I eat that" thread but does anyone know if Thai food is safe? I don't know why it wouldn't be, but there's an authentic place near me that is DELICIOUS but I don't know if there's anything hidden in there that could be bad for baby. My favorite is Pad thai or drunken noodles

BMG2013 · December 2016

@morgarita Yes! I opted for no cheese but I can imagine swiss being amazing on it as well! I know what I'm ordering next...

OperaSingerMommy · December 2016

I have to write down everything I eat from now on for my midwife to review, so goodbye spoonfuls of Nutella out of the jar... It's a cruel, cruel world.

@kat0607 As long as the meat is cooked all the way through then I don't see why not! Yum.
