What are you craving?

meatballs37 · June 2017

I figured this could be a fun thread to get going.

meatballs37 · June 2017

Last pregnancy: all I ate was soup. Top three were tomato, clam chowder, and lobster bisque.

This time: give me all the cheeseburgers please!

sabriel1 · June 2017

Caesar salad and hard shell tacos currently... But then again, I am usually craving that stuff not pregnant.

winnie1122 · June 2017

Taco Bell. Literally the only food that sounds good and usually it sounds terrible... Need me a crunch wrap stat!

the_other_mother · June 2017

Grilled cheese with Colby and pepper jack, with bacon, and barbeque chips. Cheese wiz. (Ew did not give into that one.) And I've made Chipotle style rice 3 times in the last week and a half.

MrsJ2410 · June 2017

Cheeseburgers/fries pretty much constantly and then will have rollercoaster of cravings, DH knows not to get his heart set on dinner until its cooking. Monday I went from frozen pesto pizza to pancakes to ravioli.

sabriel1 · June 2017

That mention of chips has me craving ketchup chips hard now

awb1216 · June 2017

@MrsJ2410 "Rollercoaster of cravings" exactly describes what I have got going on.

I've been going to the grocery store almost every day to get that *one thing* that will satisfy my craving at any given time. Yesterday it was cheese bread and bagels with cream cheese. Today the thought of those repulse me and all I want is seafood. A few days ago it was steak. Last week it was banana pudding.

I'm really happy today's craving is something substantial and if I can hold onto the craving until noon I'll order seafood from a restaurant a couple of blocks away.

michelle0003 · June 2017

Red meat. The thought of chicken or pork makes me gag.

mbirdie · June 2017

After work I always want something salty. Otherwise pretty much nothing, blah. And whenever I am craving something by the time I get it I don't want it anymore. I did not have such strong food aversions with DD and I'm seriously hoping the subside. I can't live on apples and water!

pandappanderson · June 2017

Haven't really had any cravings. Mainly just aversions. I was a huge coffee drinker before. I had weaned myself down to 1 big cup a day before getting pregnant but still depended on it, I would get headaches if I didn't have any. I haven't had coffee in a week now, because even the smell of it makes me gag. Like WTF!

SunflowerMama428 · June 2017

French onion soup. And I cried last night because when I got out of work at 1:30 am DH told me he ordered pizza for dinner instead of Chinese like I wanted and I cried. I was going to have my last guilty pleasure than go on the same diet I was on when I had DS. So today I'm getting Chinese and tomorrow I'm starting my diet. I hate pizza btw which is why I cried. He knows I hate it!

meatballs37 · June 2017

You all are making me hungry again! And yes to the salty things!

How could anyone ever hate pizza?!

itsrandiyo · June 2017

No cravings yet, but just NOTHING sounds good. Last pregnancy I craved Juice Stop (smoothie shop) ALL THE TIME.

JandJ62914 · June 2017

@SunflowerMama428 Yes! French onion soup!!! That was my biggest craving with DD. In fact, I never liked it until I was pregnant with her. Now it's making a reappearance with baby #2! DH is actually making it for dinner tonight.

Also craving pancakes. And peanut butter sandwiches on oat nut bread.

julievdm12 · June 2017

All the carbs..... all of them....

EmmyMommy123 · June 2017

Mostly aversions here too. Biggest and most consistent craving has been iced tea (that's new for this pregnancy), but like others said, it's a roller coaster of what I can stomach or desire to eat from day to day. I feel so bad wasting food, but I've definitely bought things that sounded ok one day only to not be able to look at it the next. I'm almost considering just not buying myself foods until the day of....but I know that'll turn into burgers and fries everyday

which is one thing I'll never turn down. I will say that poutine is something I've been eating a lot of and that was similar last time. Last but not least, I told my husband last night that I HAVE to go for ribs soon. It's all I've been thinking about and I don't know how long this craving will last...

awb1216 · June 2017

@EmmyMommy123 I've been wasting so much food too! This weekend I was craving broccoli salad so I made a big thing thinking that it would be a healthy option I could snack on all week. Nope. Not happening. Can't even look at it. It's like everything I eat gets added to the nauseating list. Today even water seems really unappealing. I think fruit and saltines are the only things that consistently seem edible, but I need to eat something heavier to take the nausea away.

Week 7...at least another 5 weeks of this!

jensjourney · June 2017

Like just this moment powdered donuts popped into my head...what?! I haven't had those things since I was a teenager but oh my god they sound perfect just now.

SquirrelsRWatching · June 2017

I wasn't craving French onion soup, but that sounds delicious. I might need to make a Panera run now....

manniebeth · June 2017

Let's see.. Ice cold Dr Pepper, mac n cheese, nachos, McDonald's nuggets (why?!), tart lemonade, fresh cherries, mashed potatoes & thanksgiving turkey

hullabalou · June 2017

Popsicles. I'm currently sitting outside with the toddler eating one.

ladyfiona11 · June 2017

When I'm pregnant I toddler esque food aversions. "Eww it's all mixed together, I can't eat that." "Oh I loved this yesterday but today it makes me wanna puke..." Lunch today was carrots, French fries and string cheese.

The other night I had to go pick up DH at the airport at 10pm and I was starving. This was after having a full dinner. I was in the mood for some McNuggets and we got some to share on the way home. They had a really bitter aftertaste. DH tasted it, too! It wasn't just me. Anyway, I'm not going to want those for a while now.

JaymeMac · June 2017

tuna sanwiches with lots and lots of pickles...

kialei7 · June 2017

Last pregnancy I craved sushi and Chinese food which typically I love Chinese food anyway but it was super magnified. Currently at 5 weeks I don't have any cravings yet.

soulcupcake · June 2017

Street tacos, salmon, and protein style bacon cheeseburgers.

manniebeth · June 2017

I wish I could get a gross batch to keep me away! It seems like every time the insane hunger hits, there's a McDonald's RIGHT THERE!

seitzy3 · June 2017

Weird stuff I don't usually eat. Tuna sandwiches, salads! which when I say I hardly ever eat, I mean it. Cherry coke. Cereal. Surprisingly, as of now I'm not craving the crappy food I did with my three DDs.

julievdm12 · June 2017

I'm Canadian and Canada is turning 150 this weekend. All social media seems lit up with Canadian treats lately. So I'm craving Poutine, Butter Tarts, Nanaimo Bars, ANYTHING maple flavoured.... ugh.... yum....

keshupe29 · June 2017

I really haven't had any cravings yet. However I saw a commercial for a sonic pretzel hot dog yesterday and immediately wanted one. Mmmmmm smothered in cheese and bacon! Looked amazing. I still think about it lol.

Damn those commercials.

sabriel1 · June 2017

I'm dying got some Chinese right now.

Eta, after writing that I remembered that I was craving hard shell tacos the other day. Now I want chicken balls in a hardshell taco with cherry sauce instead of sour cream. I am so weird

mbirdie · June 2017

Is not eating hotdogs a thing? One of my friends was complaining that she won't get to have a hotdog all summer because she is pregnant. I can't remember if I ate a hotdog with DD. I need campfire hotdogs. How many more times can I type the word hotdog. Hotdog.

I ate hot dogs with DD. I think people get a little too crazy about what they won't eat while pregnant. Like deli meat. The last few food recalls for listeria haven't even been from meat, it has been veggies and seeds (granola bars). So unless you are willing to cook/prepare everything yourself and not eat anything that isn't cooked, it's kind of a crap shoot IMO. That being said, I do understand that some things should be avoided (sushi/alcohol in excess/etc).

sabriel1 · June 2017

I believe nitrates are the issue with hotdogs. Meh, I eat all the things... I will gladly easy the deli meat you all are pushing to the side. Obviously I'm not drinking or eating raw meat/fish but I don't really change my eating habits

I'm pretty sure child #1 was built on 90% subway sandwiches.

Same. I love subway and jimmy johns.

meatballs37 · June 2017

And as far as nitrates go, if that's the reason people won't eat hotdogs while pregnant. They better not eat any processed meat, deli meat, or processed foods in general. It is added to extend the shelf life. You can buy deli meat that does not have this additive.
