Cravings?

dustergrl · December 2017

Anyone having cravings yet?

I craved fruit the whole time I was pregnant with DS; so far I am craving fresh veggies with this one! I can’t get enough!

Firemanswife11 · December 2017

Nope. Just have aversions. So whatever sounds good, I'm eating lol.

princesslockness · December 2017

Salsa. I could eat an entire gallon if I had the chips and Dr. Pepper to match.

dustergrl · December 2017

@Firemanswife11 That’s how mine started too but now have moved on to vegetables, ha!

lalala2004 · December 2017

Yes. But I also crave things when not pregnant. So tryyyying not to use pregnancy as an excuse to give in. No aversions yet. Last pregnant the inky aversion I had was raw lunchmeat, which technically they say not to have anyway, so it worked out

This is me too. I’ve found it helps if I eat a little like every 2 hours.

Ive been chugging orange juice in the mornings. I try to only drink a small cup but it’s so good. I never drink it normally.,

legallykate · December 2017

@amac12999 I had orange juice yesterday for the first time in easily over a decade. I forgot how delicious it is!

daniellem-22 · December 2017

Thai food (just like my last pregnancy), orange juice, really anything that has carbs! lol. I hungry ALL the time. I'm eating a lot too. I wonder if there is two in there. I can eat a big dinner and be starving like 2 hours later...

lalala2004 · December 2017

I really wish I had eaten some raw sushi before my BFP....

hezzer78 · December 2017

@lalala2004 I was just thinking the same thing earlier today!

ecwk · December 2017

I got a hankering for some chicken pot pie so I made one and holy balls it's amazing. I can't stop eating it. Halp!!

aj1327 · December 2017

All the carbs. And every morning I wake up and chug a glass of orange juice like it’s my job.

hardlyhannah · December 2017

I’ve been craving fruit juice! And water, so I know I need to hydrate more. I’m so bad at that but working on getting in the habit again

mrs_drc_rn · December 2017

@hardlyhannah I was the same way with my first! I always craved watered-down apple juice.

astraealynn · December 2017

@legallykate With my first, I drank a GALLON of icy icy icy orange juice a day and I NEVER drank it prior to my first and haven't had it SINCE that pregnancy. LOL I'm still waiting to see if I get any interesting cravings like that again this go round. Nothing serious yet!

Pad Thai sounds amazing right now and it's nowhere to be found! Need in my belly!

vinerie · December 2017

I am craving comfort food, but maybe that's just because it's cold outside and the holiday season? I made bison shepard's pie on Saturday and this yummy fish stew on Sunday.

mrsbubbles-2 · December 2017

@lalala2004 - same. they just opened a new poke place in town and I never got the chance to try it out.

Blue diamond wasabi and soy sauce almonds. all. day. long.

llduke74 · December 2017

I want all sorts of asian food! Ramen, bahn mi, pad thai. My mouth waters thinking about it. I also bought a jar of Wickle Pickles that is almost gone (such a stereotype

.

strawberryanne · December 2017

@GoyaBean913 I'm the same, ravenous, and then unable to eat a lot once I start eating. With my first I had an almost complete loss of appetite, wondering if this round will be similar.

@hardlyhannah I really need to increase my water intake - I think that's been my biggest craving so far.

I had a craving for Oreos, just the plain ones to dip in milk. So I bought a package and now I haven't bothered opening it. I also had the juiciest, ripest tomato, on my sandwich yesterday (forgot about lunch meat until too late), and I could tell it was flavorful and fresh but I was totally put off by it. Pregnancy is weird.

lauriebyronm · December 2017

I'm munching on pretzels and onion dip

kindbytealikat · December 2017

I had a mean need for some pancakes today.

starandrainbow · December 2017

Not sure but the whole week before I got a BFP, I ate Mexican food at least once a day!

meeks2020 · December 2017

I crave spicy food even when not pregnant, so it's no different yet. I did think @lalala2004 's cereal sounded good, but now I don't. Come 8pm it probably will again. 80% of the time food just sounds awful but 20% of the time I'm starving

neeraja_k · December 2017

@lalala2004, I'm there with you on the sushi! My mom always gives me a gift card to Fresh Market for Xmas, and I blow it all on sushi throughout the year. I'm going to be sad having to buy normal food with it.

At the moment I'm really craving all the salads and avocados and fresh fruit I can get my hands on. I don't normally eat it much because my IBS doesn't like it when I eat healthy, but to heck with it now. :P

pghctwife · December 2017

So I haven’t really had any cravings (more just felt crappy) but this was a weird moment. I got this prepackaged cook at hone meal from our local fresh market. I pulled open the chicken which was trimmed nd cut for stir fry so it was nice.

Every pregnancy ive vaguely craved sushi just in a ‘I can’t have it so I want it’ way. I stood there looking at this chicken. CHICKEN people. Raw. Chicken. Thinking, “man... that looks DELICIOUS. I could just eat it right now.”

Like i said it was cut kinda like sashimi BUT STILL. Gross.

hezzer78 · December 2017

@pghctwife Have you seen this? Apparently chicken sashimi is a thing in Japan..

This just made me want Orange Juice. I will be picking some up tomorrow. Hopefully it helps with the morning nasea.

Love Fresh Markets Sushi. Are California rolls a no go?

You can have them. The crab is cooked. I just hate not being able to branch out.

I agree, but you just made me happy. The sad part is my brain will want it but my body won’t.

neeraja_k · December 2017

@ssthomps I'd never even thought about those! I normally love the spicy raw tuna ones. But I could probably make the California rolls with shrimp work. It's worth a shot to satisfy a craving.

I’m in the same boat. I was craving it a week ago, but now.... Almost nothing sounds good

neeraja_k · December 2017

All this talk of sushi makes me wonder how pregnant Japanese women deal, or if it's not such a concern there.

Or what did pregnant women do before chocolate was a thing to crave.

pghctwife · December 2017

@neeraja_k they eat sushi. The worry about sushi (or beef tartare, or raw oysters) is the food poisoning risk from raw food. Not that there’s anything inherently dangerous or bad about the fish. Well, maybe too much mercury.

Honestly if you really trust trust your source you can eat it. I really like fresh market too but I wouldn’t get sushi there pregnant... more like a very reputable sushi chef.

Im going out for nye to a fancy 6 course dinner. The first course choice is oysters or fois Gras. I adore the former and don’t like the latter. I may bet the oysters despite being pregnant. I trust the restaurant to have fresh and safe food implicitly (in fact, the chef is on the current season of top chef! Tyler Anderson if you are watching! Millwright is in my town and soooo good)

I truly believe with all the restrictions you need to consider what’s the risk is and how you feel about it. Smoking crack? Major damage to baby and a little will harm - so don’t do it at all. Alcohol? A small bit probably won’t harm baby at all, a lot will. Depends how you feel about that line. Raw food? Risk is good poisoning, trusted source may be fine. Deli meat? Risk of listeria, which harms baby. Etc etc.

lalala2004 · December 2017

Yeah, honestly the risk of food borne illness is in every food, some are just more risky than others. TBH a lot of things I avoid because I don’t want people judging me. And plus if something did happen I’d feel terrible for not following the “rules”.

legallykate · December 2017

I’ve been reading Expecting Better (which I highly recommend!) and feel like I would eat high-end sushi if I really craved it based on her findings/explanation. Raw fish sounds soooo gross to me right now though! DH has been eating poke all week and its hard to even look at. The one thing I really really miss are runny eggs, and I think I will make my own when I can be sure the eggs are pasteurized and not old but don’t trust them from a restaurant.
