I'm starving this time which is so different from last time. Last night I decided I needed maple and brown sugar oatmeal and I had to have it then. In the mornings I want eggs. Apples are so good.

I never drink orange juice, I hate the smell, but with my last pregnancy and again now, I have craved it!

Peedy · December 2016

Just making sure to always balance carbs with protein, avoiding sweets, and not letting myself get hungry.

Our nanny made an awesome casserole last night with cauliflower, sweet potato, and ground turkey... so I'm definitely eating that.

knottie0d8cc4d43bacc09f · December 2016

@Peedy @littlebug2010 @SouthernMama15 Everyone is eating such healthy stuff - awesome!

I don't seem to have too much of an appetite.. I know I should be eating throughout the day but nothing appeals to me.

Peedy · December 2016

@secicc12 I know I'll have GD eventually (and on the early side)... so unfortunately I have to be good

knottie0d8cc4d43bacc09f · December 2016

@Peedy Ah I see. At least you know to expect it and can get a handle on it! Bet it makes losing the post-baby weight easier, too.

SouthernMama15 · December 2016

I'm trying to be healthy, snacking on raisins and apple slices right now @secicc12. Since my mobility is limited because of my knee injury, I can't afford to eat junk.

Peedy · December 2016

@secicc12 it does make it easier to lose the weight.. when I was diagnosed last pregnancy I lost weight after being put on the diet, I'm actually kinda grateful that I was forced to do it

jesseleeb · December 2016

I have been so so SO starving this whole time so far, and I cannot get enough of anything involving bananas or peanut butter. But to be honest, my pregnant self cannot stop thinking about a frisco melt from Steak 'n Shake.

rachelfozo · December 2016

Honestly, the thought of eating anything makes me nauseous. The last thing that I ate that didn't make me feel sick was Panda Express.

EmyB30 · December 2016

I'm so all over the place. One day I'm not hungry at all, other days I'm starving all the time. I'm trying to not eat so much bad stuff yet. Since I was doing super LC anything I eat this carby I am gaining from that. So I'm trying to stay away from the bread,pastas, etc. But adding in fruits, veggies etc. But sweets are getting me. But for the dinner the past two nights I've had veggies and dip!

nbashley · December 2016

I have no taste for sweets any more! They don't make me sick, I just don't have an appetite for them. I keep dreaming about soup and salads. That pretty much sums up my week in food. lol

morgy_bee · December 2016

My pregnant self was craving meatloaf and mashed potatoes. We didn't have anything to make it so luckily DH stopped to pick the stuff up. I made it a couple of days ago and eating leftovers every meal. Including breakfast...

bumpybump · December 2016

The thought of food makes me feel so icky. But I feel better once I eat so I'm snacking a lot. These are my go to right now and are so yummy.

Shan870 · December 2016

I went out and bought a little birthday cake yesterday...no one has a birthday in my house until Jan 31st lol!! I'm not eating it alone. DS and DH are helping. I only ate one piece but I've been craving it all week.

Nxy · December 2016

Omg I craved birthday cake with my first pregnancy!!!!

SouthernMama15 · December 2016

@Nxy watermelon, pineapple, and berry bowls were my life when I was pregnant with DD

Shan870 · December 2016

@morgy_bee Wow...I thought I was losing my mind lol. I never really craved anything my first pregnancy and especially not sweets.

gipfish · December 2016

I never had cravings with my first, only an aversion to sweets. (Except dark chocolate, I ate tons of that.)

Tonight we had steak tips, green beans, and Sister Shubert rolls. Gotta love that bread-baking nun!

akwr · December 2016

@nixy totally with you on mainly craving sleep.

Also trying to embrace not having cravings yet to commit to healthy habits.

sonshyne0929 · December 2016

I don't have any cravings as of yet.

NYTino24 · December 2016

It's still really early, so I can't say I really notice a lot of differences. I normally have cereal with almond milk in the morning, but like @SouthernMama I have been wanting maple and brown sugar oatmeal for breakfast and apples for a snack. DH normally makes dinner and he wasn't home the last two nights, so I took out a frozen pizza last night... and I'm gonna blame it on preggo brain because I found it uncooked, still in the wrapper, on the counter this morning. I fell asleep on the couch and forgot.

generalfuzzypants · December 2016

Apples. Cheese. Cream cheese. Kale. All the same as the first time!

EmyB30 · December 2016

I just had three christmas cookies for breakfast....I forgot breakfast at home.

knottie0d8cc4d43bacc09f · December 2016

@EmyB30 No shame

EmyB30 · December 2016

@secicc12 Thanks! I had no appetite as I left the house (I was gagging this morning on my snot) and then I got here and was hungry and thought oh shit what am I going to eat. Cookies to the rescue.

CaitS07 · December 2016

I've been craving Asian noodles - like hibachi style noodles. I got a fix last night so it should hold me for a few days

rachelfozo · December 2016

OMG! Just devoured a plate of Swedish meatballs and egg noodles! They were the very best things I have tasted in weeks!

budzynb · December 2016

I was craving (and eating!) cheese and crackers every night for the past 2 weeks, but now that MS has hit I want nothing at all

kleigh30 · December 2016

I want nachos and skittles. All of the nachos.

MotherBunny · December 2016

Ramen, and sparkling water with a splash of OJ.

bestnameever · December 2016

chili- all day every day- its all I want!
I made a giant crock pot of it before I knew I was pregnant and I am so happy to have it now!

Kathryn0903 · December 2016

So I'm currently craving rice. Sucks because DH won't eat rice.

Bountifulbride · December 2016

I usually have a sweet tooth but the last week I haven't wanted anything sweet. Hopefully that remains because I am starting this pregnancy heavier than I wish, so having a slow weight gain would be a good thing.

Feliciosity · December 2016

I haven't had any cravings, but I used to LOVE dessert. Now I can't stand sweets!

I have actually had a hard time finding things to eat that sound good. I eat a lot of yogurt and granola. I usually have a huge salad for either lunch or dinner (gotta get those greens!). I'm also eating a lot of chicken and salmon.

NYTino24 · December 2016

I finally wanted to eat the cookies I baked this weekend!!! I usually love them, but I was so meh about them until today. DH just brought home Panera broccoli cheddar soup, one of my faves, and is making grilled cheese! I am a happy lady.

MotherBunny · December 2016

We had a holiday lunch event at work today and I couldn't stomach the sight of any of the chicken, beef, etc at the buffet. I ended up not eating and getting myself a grilled cheese in the cafeteria afterwards. And it was delicious!
