What My Pregnant Self Is Eating

krystrist2014 · May 2020

Show me what you’re eating!

bserena · May 2020

EVERYTHING. I am hungry all of the time (and have been since like week 6).

Ecat504 · May 2020

Everything.

kitkatz1990 · May 2020

Still not much...my appetite is slowly coming back. I’m hungry all the time but I don’t actually want anything and when I do eat, I get full super fast and then am starving again 15 min later.

krystrist2014 · May 2020

Made a smoothie for breakfast! Was the only thing I was feelin but it didn’t at all help my hunger level so I eventually ordered Jimmy Johns! Haha

I just want a hot fudge sundae!.. and sour worms!

Send help!

mimser · May 2020

@laurenmicheley I want a Peanut buster sundae from dairy queens so badly... but since getting ice cream is the only fun thing to do around here these days, the line ups are impossible!

I have been enjoying Raisin Bran Crunch, string cheese, grapes, strawberries, clementines and raspberry danish. I had a meat aversion last pregnancy and it hasn't happened with this one yet, which makes me think that it won't, so yay! But anyway I told my husband I was craving mashed potatoes last night and he went to the store on his own and bought us NY Strip Steaks for dinner that we grilled, and all the ingredients for sour cream and chive mashed potatoes. Omg I was in heaven and why yes I did have the mashed potatoes for lunch today haha!

mimser · May 2020

In the morning I eat toasts with jam (it was peanut butter a week ago) or Cherrios if we have. I used to eat a different thing every morning, now I just want toasts.

For lunch I’m having a sandwich with cheese, avocado, and spring mix. My doctor told me no deli meats, which I don’t really buy into. But also I don’t really want them so it works out. Also a pickle. I got a big container of really good ones from Costco. There probably isn’t a more stereotypical pregnancy craving than pickles but I am here to eat all of them.

krystrist2014 · May 2020

@surlyjaneausten I don’t buy into the deli meat thing either! All the stuff you can buy at the deli counter or prepackaged was heated past the point of allowing listeria to survive. Sub sandwiches was one of the only things I could tolerate in early pregnancy with DD and it’s definitely something I want this time around too! Haha. Share the brand of pickles with us! I could use some good picked right now! 🙃

kitkatz1990 · May 2020

Honestly deli meat sandwiches have been one of the only things I’ve actually wanted to eat this pregnancy, I don’t cut that out of my diet at all. I feel like the chances of getting sick from it are SO super low.

surlyjaneausten · May 2020

Yeah I figure as long as you’re not eating things past their expiration date you’re probably fine. Here are the pickles.

lurvleybunchococonuts · May 2020

Salsa garden sun chips omnomnom

1MommyRunner · May 2020

I just want to eat ALL the chips and salsa! Like I could drink the salsa...and maybe I have. 🤷🏻‍♀️

windywoman · May 2020

My OB said lunch meat is fine as long as you are buying it from a reputable place. Like don't eat shady gas station meat 🤢 Which is honestly just good advice for anyone.

I'm pretty much eating everything. But It have been eating freeze pops like nobody's business.
I want DQ too! All of it. I could annihilate one of their ice cream cakes in about 2 days.

kitkatz1990 · May 2020

I’M GETTING CHINESE TONIGHT!!! I’ve been wanting it sooooooo badly! I could cry.

surlyjaneausten · May 2020

@1MommyRunner chips and salsa taste soo good to me right now too. I’m not usually excited about them but now I can eat them every day.

krystrist2014 · May 2020

Well, now I want chips and salsa! Thanks @1MommyRunner and @surlyjaneausten!

@kitkatz1990 yummm! Enjoy!

1MommyRunner · May 2020

@surlyjaneausten same!! I have never been a big fan of them or even mexican food, but now I want them allllll.

@krystrist2014 dooooo it! 😂

1MommyRunner · May 2020

@kitkatz1990 when I was about 6/7weeks I totally had a sobfest because I needed fried rice...at 11pm...in the midst of a lockdown. Poor dh looked terrified trying to figure out what to do!

kitkatz1990 · May 2020

@1MommyRunner we tried to go a few weeks ago and my favorite Chinese restaurant was closed! I was so afraid that they were going out of business but we went by there tonight and not only were they open, they were packed! Thank God because they have the best egg rolls ever, and I can’t even eat anyone else’s egg rolls now because they suck in comparison. I was so happy to see their business booming.

hedgepig · May 2020

So many pickles, so much avocado and cheese toast, grilled cheese sandwiches and lots of fruit. Apples and peanut butter have been a favorite.
As for deli meat - I've been craving it too, and been trying to be careful, but have definitely caved once. It's lucky that my fav sandwich shops are way far away and not accessible right now. At home I tend to just heat my meat for sandwiches, which is great because I love toasted sandwiches the most.

krystrist2014 · May 2020

@hedgepig I am all about apples lately too! If I’m having them for breakfast then it’s with peanut butter but if it’s a snack later in the day then it’s with tajín.

magdaaaa · May 2020

@hedgepig I eat apples and peanut butter at least once (ok fine, twice) a day. im obsessed!

dumbledoredies · May 2020

I've been eating subs with salami and pepperoni nearly every day. I read that pepperoni and salami were safe to eat while pregnant but it must have been fake news because everything I'm reading now says it's not. Oops! Not sure what else im supposed to eat for lunch 😆 it can't be worse then mac n cheese, right?!

I made some legit popcorn the other day after boiling butter so it wouldnt make the popcorn soggy. DH bought popcorn salt at the store. It's the closest to movie theater popcorn I've ever gotten. I'm a movie theater popcorn fiend and have been dying not being able to get some. We live 5 minutes from a theater and I like to run in there to grab a bucket of popcorn and bring it home for a movie night.

laurenmicheley · May 2020

Yesterday, an amazing thing happened. I have had one persistent and oddly specific food craving for over 2 months for labnah and fresh pita. I haven't been able to get it because we are in lockdown and the Middle Eastern restaurant that delivers, cut it from their menu. DH and I were taking the pup for a real walk and it occurred to him that we were not far from the other (better) Middle Eastern spot and it was worth a shot to see if they were open. Lo-and-behold, not only were they open, but they transformed their entire store and sidewalk into a mini market stocked with beautiful fresh produce, spreads, wine & beer, and assorted treats. Safe to say I FINALLY got my labneh and fresh za'atar pita and that's literally all I ate for dinner. I was so pleased.

lurvleybunchococonuts · May 2020

I may or may not have sent MH to the store for a pumpkin pie and cool whip at 8:00 this morning 🤦🏻 not as good as homemade but I had no patience for that

bserena · May 2020

@lurvleybunchococonuts yummmm! Pumpkin pie is one of my favorite foods.

lovelee3 · May 2020

@kitkatz1990 Chinese food is my weakness. DH gave in to the cravings finally this week as well even though I wouldn’t call it a craving since I want it all the time (even when not pregnant).

Breakfast always has eggs, either boiled or over medium. This morning was avocado toast and eggs. I can’t go a day without them which if I’m being honest does not favors for my gassy-ness lately 🤢🤪 poor DH.

Other than that, all the fresh fruit I can get my hands on. Soup and grilled cheese sounds good for lunch on the reg, but I’ve only had it once. Movie popcorn and chips and salsa both sound amazing 😋

krystrist2014 · May 2020

I am obsessed with combination pizza right now. Normally we only order pepperoni because that’s what MH and I both like, but now I want combination so much that I get that for me and a pepperoni for hubby and DD. Lol.

krystrist2014 · May 2020

@lovelee3 LOL! I can’t at all stomach the idea of eggs right now. I haven’t had them in probably 8 weeks haha.

dumbledoredies · May 2020

@lovelee3 I love eggs! So much. I usually eat them over easy but have been doing scrambled with some red hot. And a buttered English muffin and banana 😋

mama-buckets · May 2020

Y’all I’m struggling with meat right now. It’s not the taste or smell, but the texture that is off putting!

I’ve been heavy into veggies and carbs. I made some homemade ramen (not like the $.25 packages you get at the store) with egg, fresh spinach, and corn and it was LIFE. Same with tomatoes right now. Everytime I turn around I’m ordering some sort of salad with chicken on it, And I end up picking the chicken out and giving it to my husband haha. I kinda hope this turns around a little and animal proteins start being more palatable again. 😓

I’ve also Been into adding nuts to things. Never was a “nuts in my baked goods” kinda girl before but I made these cinnamon coffee cake muffins with pecans in them and PUNISHED them!

wychets · May 2020

anything with red sauce!! Spaghetti, lasagna, pizza, ravoli ahhhhhh I want some now.

lovelee3 · May 2020

@dumbledoredies You're better than me - I still do over medium. I was never an over-easy person because I can't do runny whites (looks like snot

) but I figure the yolk can be runny, right?

DH decided he wants mexican for dinner tonight. We aren't allowed to sit down in restaurants still, but I'll order something from out favorite place to pick up. I am SO looking forward to some chicken tostadas and maybe a quesadilla.

mimser · May 2020

I finally had DQ! It's freezing here this week end so no line up today. I very much enjoyed my Peanut Buster, while wearing a scarf and gloves...

bserena · May 2020

@mimser yumm!!! I haven't had DQ in years

I just went to the grocery store for the first time in almost two months.... i should not go while hungry and pregnant 😂 I spent a ton of money and ended up with tons of cheese cubes, string cheese, milk, popcorn and oven pizzas 😬

lovelee3 · May 2020

@bserena Shopping while pregnant is a crime sometimes! I almost always come back with at least one thing that was not on my list

krystrist2014 · May 2020

@bserena & @lovelee3 same here! Come back home with non-list items when I grocery shop every time. Last weekend I had impulsively picked up a bag of salt and vinegar Kettle brand chips - just the snack size. I got into the car and started eating them and was so obsessed that I asked MH if he could run back in and just get one more snack bag for me..... he came out with a “sharing size” bag (it literally said that on the bag LOL) and I nearly cried with joy! Hahahaha

lovelee3 · May 2020

@krystrist2014 Gold star for your hubs! That's so sweet of him! I picked up Jalapeno Kettle brand chips the other week ONLY because I had a coupon for a free bag. I desperately wish I had two more of those coupons lol
