I have my nightstand drawer stocked with snacks and I'm about to pull out a ziplock bag of leftover movie theater popcorn from 4 days ago

. It's either that or another bowl of Cap'n Crunch, which I don't think I should overdo it on.

I’m laying here in bed while my husband is snoring and all I want is a big glass of ice cold milk. But... that would require me getting out of bed and going downstairs.

I have to have milk before I go to bed every night. I just finished my glass, haha.

@pink_polkadots and @wildrainbow, Milk seems to be one of the things I can keep down at the moment. I'm not sure what it is but I'm loving it.

Also eating a lot of salt and vinegar chips which aren't very healthy but my food options are getting limited so I'm going with 'at least I'm eating'.

MouseMama817 · April 2018

@mrsduddles I loooove salt and vinegar chips. Cape Cod is my fave.

Recees Eggs *drops mic*

tessiesmom26 · April 2018

@mrsduddles Gimmie ALLLLL the salt and vinegar chips!! Those and Cool Ranch Doritos are my go-tos right now.

MouseMama817 · April 2018

I just ate leftover cobb salad for lunch that was delicious at dinner last night but is disgusting today. I should've known better after walking into the kitchen last night and nearly gagging at the lingering smell of bacon in the air. Who doesn't like freakin' bacon??

I NEVER make pizza from scratch, but I just tried this recipe and it turned out well and was SO EASY! The dough took maybe 10 minutes, tops. https://www.geniuskitchen.com/recipe/quick-and-easy-pizza-dough-117532 No more budget cardboard Aldi pizza for us!

We turned the finished product into the "pregnant lady special," i.e. pepperoni with roasted red peppers and an entire can of Trader Joe's green olives. Sorry not sorry.

bqtmom25 · April 2018

Chips and salsa, lots and lots of salsa!

pelorunningmama · April 2018

@pink_polkadots Chocolate milk is always one of my biggest cravings while pregnant. In real life, I can't stand milk, but when I'm pregnant I just want dairy. It's weird.

KellyT22 · April 2018

Anything spicy. I cannot get enough of hot foods. Like burn-your-face-off hot. I generally like spicy food, but in my previous two pregnancies I was really sensitive to anything overly spicy. Not this time!

rhonabethginny · April 2018

I just want all the cheese... All of it!

jspence723 · April 2018

Nothing sounds good to me right now except fruit, pickles and toast. As someone who loves cooking and food, it's frustrating. I'm hungry but can't find anything satisfying, and so many things make sick now.

KellyT22 · April 2018

@rhonabethginny Non-pregnant I want ALL OF THE CHEESE (Wisconsin problems), but pregnant me thinks cheese tastes too cheesy

lurvleybunchococonuts · April 2018

Just had a box of kraft mac-n-cheese for dinner and it was ahhhhmazing

lachnessmomster · April 2018

@KellyT22 100% with you on the spicy food. I just bought a huge jar of hot cherry peppers today that I've been snacking on.

Other than that, I'm craving almost every bad-for-you thing possible. Buffalo Wild Wings, Wendy's spicy chicken, ranch dressing, Frosted Mini Wheats, Chipotle burritos, Taco Bell. Still making myself eat healthy between the junk, but whenever I get a craving, I'm just grateful to have an appetite. (Morning sickness has been super fun.)

kbrown2385 · April 2018

Gagged a couple times eating my salad for dinner tonight, but the halo top ice cream I had later went down real easy

pelorunningmama · April 2018

Well I gagged after trying to eat some asparagus and cucumber, so I gave in and had the cheap ramen for dinner. It was perfect. I’ve been so exhausted this week and haven’t worked out at all. Hoping I can try and be healthier soon.

KellyT22 · April 2018

I would kill for a Slurpee right now.

Tragically, we have no 7-Elevens here.

runningyogimama · April 2018

Celery. I don’t even normally like celery. Celery plain, celery with peanut butter or cream cheese...I don’t even understand it.

Also, those damn reese’s eggs even though I normally also don’t care for them.

runningyogimama · April 2018

@wannaflickone I had the worst aversion to ALL vegetables while pregnant the first time...which was truly tragic because I’m a vegetarian.

offtoneverland · April 2018

@wannaflickone You and me both! I haven't worked out in 2 weeks and I feel so horrible about it, but I've been so tired and can't manage to wake up early to work out, and definitely can't manage to stay up after dinner to work out.

Ramen sounds amazing right now. I'm glad you treated yourself. I'm going to get some ramen next time I'm at the store. Pretty much the only thing I want to eat lately is tacos or grilled cheese.

knottie567e90d34bd7f9d2 · April 2018

Its really rough for me. Everything that I think I want I never eat it when I get it. Its like solid foods make me vomit and the smell of food makes me nauseated. Only thing I've been eating is chicken noodle soup, pickles, crackers, and drinking lemonade. Pray for me

mhunnyb · April 2018

Omg food. I went from eating everything in site 2 weeks ago and now smells irritate me and everything I liked before is a no go. It's 4h30am and I woke up wanting toast with peanut butter. I used to love all things pastry or sweet and now I can't even stand to look at them. And my portions are much smaller than before. There is no way that I can finish a full plate of food. Struggling......

blue2mango · April 2018

@KellyT22 Slurpees were my go to with DS!
@runningyogimama I am also a vegetarian and all veggies do not sound good at all right now. I started taking B6 and Unisom so I can now eat more then just popsicles.

All I have wanted last night and today is veggie nuggets and veggie buffalo wings. I need protein sooooo bad.

pink_polkadots · April 2018

My husband got me a hash brown and a large mocha frappe from McDonald’s this morning and it was GLORIOUS. No regrets.

MouseMama817 · April 2018

@pink_polkadots That does sound delicious. I made DH go out for Taco Bell last night and I’m about to make him go out again for watermelon and pineapple. I don’t have crazy nausea, just a generally unsettled stomach and insane food aversion— I can hardly stand to go in our kitchen right now.

WittyMom · April 2018

I want nothing but milk: chocolate milk, milkshakes, hot cocoa with milk (NOT WATER). When I try to eat the only things I can stomach are grilled cheese sandwiches and quesadillas. Saying I have “an aversion to meat” is the polite way to put it. My husband cooked a hamburger yesterday for himself and the smell of it sent me running for the bathroom. I’m ready for this phase to be over.

bridalbump · April 2018

I think I’ve been pretty lucky....no puking but I get nauseous if I don’t eat every few hours.
ive been eating a lot of fruits lately (so happy about that and embracing it) my only food aversion really has been to meat/chicken. I can handle it for lunch but DONT say chicken for dinner bleh. I’m thinking things could be worse than being a vegetarian! But I did give in to buying Reese’s cereal lol #noregrets

goldie987 · April 2018

After virtually everything I've eaten in the last week coming back up, the B6 finally seems to be working and I scarfed down an entire pizza for lunch and a box of mac n cheese for dinner. No shame.

herewegoagain3rd · April 2018

I have had serious cravings for grilled cheese and tomato soup. I have had it two days in a row.

kellig16 · April 2018

@bfpafter4years you just made me want grilled cheese and tomato soup like nothing else in my life!

my diet has been absolutely awful and it stresses me out because I know I'm supposed to eat healthy for baby. All I want is carbs, and fatty food. Cool ranch doritos, fritos with chili, ALL OF THE BREAD, lays and french onion dip, chicken noodle soup and crackers...ugh! Today I made myself eat kashi waffles, sliced strawberry and i bought a gallon of the boathouse farms green goodness juice, but then I ate 3 carrot cake cupcakes.

nervous0220 · April 2018

I had popcorn for dinner last night, and popcorn for lunch today. My diet hasn't been the greatest, but I'm taking my vitamins and during the week I have protein shakes.

MouseMama817 · April 2018

@kellig16 Omg lays and French onion dip....

lachnessmomster · April 2018

Trying to get a grip on what's been a less-than-desirable diet lately. I'm still battling food aversions. What sounds great one day makes me want to puke the next. But despite that, and also craving junk like ramen noodles constantly, I've been eating enormous salads, mangoes, strawberries, rice and beans with veggies (basically taco salad), and drinking lots of water. But still also ramen sometimes. Balance, right?

tessiesmom26 · April 2018

The food aversions are so real! I can't really have meat lately and it is making me sad.

@kellig16 I had lays and onion dip last night and it was glorious! I have extra too so that will probably be supper LOL.

pink_polkadots · April 2018

I had fruit loops for dinner last night. #winner

booksandcoffee · April 2018

Shredded cheddar cheese or spoonfuls of peanut butter are the only things I can stomach lol

lurvleybunchococonuts · April 2018

extra toasty cheez-its are about the only think palatable right now. I know the nausea/puking gets worse when I don't eat, but everything sounds so vile. It's a self perpetuating cycle that I can't seem to get ahead of.
