I thought this was a total myth... until I hit my second trimester. When there was a blog on HB about meatballs, I thought about them for a week straight before I made them. Today? Quiche. Its all I can think about.
What did/do you crave while pregnant?
You might also enjoy...
-
First tri: fried eggs. Every day. Since then: ice cream. Not every day, but when it hits, I MUST HAVE ICE CREAM IMMEDIATELY. Sounds like such a stereotype but it's SO strange. I didn't even *like* ice cream before I got pregnant!
-
First tri: oranges. Second tri: asparagus. Third tri: watermelon. Peanut butter sandwiches all the way through (the bulk of what I ate when I was pregnant) and once a Taco Bell Taco Salad.
-
Yep, oranges during the winter. Double Stuf Oreos and chicken nuggets for me. When I was pregnant, I ate like a kid. I still stock up on dinosaur chicken nuggets 6 months pp.
-
@FutureMrsMcK: My first tri was oranges too! And the quiche I have a crazy craving for today is asparagus. YUM.
-
@FutureMrsMcK: We were pregnant around the same time. I remember those threads all about oranges we had. What is it about August boy babies that made us want oranges last year?
-
The power of suggestion was very strong for me! Nothing has been super strong but i'm easily swayed by suggestions and think, "oh that sounds good...i'll have that later". But nothing that is like, I MUST HAVE IT NOW.
-
@grizz: OMG! I love, love quiche. Before LO was born, I made so much quiche. It was the egg craving for me. I had to give up milk products when LO was first born with baby GI issues. I'm only now going back to milk lately.
-
Thai food and ice cream!
-
Yes! I had a ton of cravings but in general...
First tri: citrus
Second tri: beef
Third tri: ice cream -
@cascademom: I made three last week and just microwaved them for lunches and dinners ALL. WEEK. LONG. DH doesn't mind as long as I don't tell him its quiche...I bake them in a square dish and call them "breakfast casserole" and he chows down
-
@cascademom: Oh my god I don't know but DH was bringing me home 10# bags at least once a week.
-
@grizz: Awesome!! It makes me want to make quiche especially since it's Lent. We're working on CIO, so getting away with cooking would be amazing.
-
Yes...pizza, ice cream, Taco Bell, pickles, malts, milkshakes, watermelon, chips, floats!
-
@grizz: This cracks me up because it totally would be my husband as well!
-
I did during my first trimester, but once I hit the second trimester, all cravings went away. =( However, if I start eating fries, I just.can't.stop.
-
So far, french fries. I will not say no to a salty french fry.
-
Any time someone would talk about a food for lunch, I had to have it! It was rough because my morning students would start talking about what was for lunch at 9 or 10, then I just had to go have it.
-
I didn't have any cravings. But if people mentioned something, I would totally be jonesing for it.
-
My cravings were pizza, french fries, raw veggies + dip, and peaches. Surprisingly, my "anti"-craving was meat, and I'm usually a total meat lover!!
-
It varies so much. It has previously been BLT sandwiches, roast beef, pizza to name a few. Now I can't stand the sight of meat and it's all about fruit (strawberries!), veg, and sweets (the sour the better with sugar coating).
-
I have had no cravings. Milk does not taste good to me (which is weird bc I loved to drink milk with dinner), but cheese things (mozz sticks, pizza, quesodillas, cheesey potatoes) are things I like to eat a lot.
-
@grizz: breakfast casserole had me laughing! I'm going to take a tip from you and come up with new inventive names for anything DH wouldn't usually eat!
-
Hahahahaha - oh-emmm-gee yessss!
-
Chinese. According to Papa Jumper, we ate Chinese every single day for three weeks straight.
I have no recollection of this. Haha!
-
I have different cravings every week (now...but didn't hit me till my MS left at 17 weeks). I went through a serious citrus phase, I've become a milk monster (I drink it all the time), I ate falafel with hummos three times in one week a couple of weeks ago, and recently, green olives!
Otherwise, I'm just super hungry in general, which is weird. And the scale shows that! (not fun)
-
@grizz: my husband calls them omelette pie haha
hmm. I've been craving BACON! DH says that's how he knows it's his kid.
-
It's so weird that some of you ladies had a craving for oranges in the 1st Tri. Oranges, orange juice and particularly orange flavouring were my aversions.
Craving wise, I've been enjoying ice cream more than usual and, a couple of weeks back, I devoured an entire jar of pickled onions in one sitting.... I haven't fancied them since, though!
-
I am just very impressionable. There was a thread on here about Taco Bell, so that night I just had to have Taco Bell. Then a few days later there was a thread about mac-n-cheese, so I had to have mac-n-cheese that night! A few days ago there was a thread about chocolate chip cookies and I still can't stop thinking about it!
-
Sweets!! Like cookies, candy, ice cream, and I'll put fruit in there too... Anything sweet!!!!!
-
first tri i had really bad nausea, but wanted juices and applesauce. second and third tri i didn't have nausea but horrendous heartburn and felt like i couldn't eat anything! i was craving orange julius type drinks when i was about 6-7 months.
-
cream cheese!
ate a cinn. raisin bagel or toast or regular bagel with whipped cream cheese every single day.
-
They've mostly tapered off now (36 weeks) but there was while there where I could not get enough citrus. It was a little out of control!
-
@illumina: I do it all the time! I LOVE my mom's goulash recipe, but DH wouldn't touch goulash with a 10 foot pole. Solution? I call it chili mac and he devours it. Our menu would be cut in half if I told him the real names of a lot of foods
-
@lawbee11: I have been the same since the choc chip cookies post, I'm just too lazy to do anything about making them!
@grizz: too funny!
-
I really want root beer. But I want NOTHING to do with sweets!
