Too much weight was never a concern since eating was pretty difficult for me, it's early yet, I wouldn't stress over that yet. namaste on "How often do you give in to pregnancy cravings?" https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-often-do-you-give-in-to-pregnancy-cravings#post-1754913 Sat, 12 Jul 2014 21:52:20 +0000 namaste 1754913@https://boards.hellobee.com/ During the first trimester, I just ate whatever I could keep down, regardless of fat content. :P Now I don't really have any cravings. turquoisemama on "How often do you give in to pregnancy cravings?" https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-often-do-you-give-in-to-pregnancy-cravings#post-1754599 Sat, 12 Jul 2014 16:06:27 +0000 turquoisemama 1754599@https://boards.hellobee.com/ @charmed: Yeah I am having more cravings but most of the time it's stuff that I know will upset my stomach. Just last night I really wanted nachos, like really bad. That would not have gone over well. winniebee on "How often do you give in to pregnancy cravings?" https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-often-do-you-give-in-to-pregnancy-cravings#post-1754298 Sat, 12 Jul 2014 08:39:38 +0000 winniebee 1754298@https://boards.hellobee.com/ In the first tri all the time whatever sounded good I ate. At almost 17w I still eat something if I have a super strong craving for it but honestly that doesn't happen often. charmed on "How often do you give in to pregnancy cravings?" https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-often-do-you-give-in-to-pregnancy-cravings#post-1754251 Sat, 12 Jul 2014 08:00:25 +0000 charmed 1754251@https://boards.hellobee.com/ @MrsHansen82: same here! Although it's getting a lot better now that I'm closer to the second trimester. Still have more food aversions than cravings though.

My new craving is grilled zucchini so odd, but I love it so I figure that is a good craving to give into ;) Sapphiresun on "How often do you give in to pregnancy cravings?" https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-often-do-you-give-in-to-pregnancy-cravings#post-1754139 Sat, 12 Jul 2014 02:00:13 +0000 Sapphiresun 1754139@https://boards.hellobee.com/ I lived on cheeseburgers when I was super nauseated. Throwback to my partying days I guess... but it was the only thing I could keep down. Once that passed, I can't say I ever really had many cravings, except peaches. And that I just indulged as I saw fit. turquoisemama on "How often do you give in to pregnancy cravings?" https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-often-do-you-give-in-to-pregnancy-cravings#post-1754137 Sat, 12 Jul 2014 01:30:00 +0000 turquoisemama 1754137@https://boards.hellobee.com/ I eat anything that pops in my head if I can because most of the time, everything sounds disgusting. Cole on "How often do you give in to pregnancy cravings?" https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-often-do-you-give-in-to-pregnancy-cravings#post-1753960 Fri, 11 Jul 2014 21:01:06 +0000 Cole 1753960@https://boards.hellobee.com/ When I was sick I gave in to every craving but was barely eating so a milkshake was preferable to nothing. Now I give in if it's healthy, if it's not healthy I try to substitute something else because often I crave something just because I am hungry, if that doesn't work I go for it. Silva on "How often do you give in to pregnancy cravings?" https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-often-do-you-give-in-to-pregnancy-cravings#post-1753944 Fri, 11 Jul 2014 20:56:28 +0000 Silva 1753944@https://boards.hellobee.com/ When I was nauseous, which wasn't often or extreme, I ate whatever I could stomach. Lots of pretzels. For other stuff, like a big bagel with cream cheese and a coffee with lots of half and half, I'd treat myself once a week. I also craved chicken wings, and I just got those when I was going out with friends. I never had cravings so strongly that I HAD to have it right now. I know some people do. Actually, beer was probably my strongest craving. Like...double IPA, super hoppy, beer. I remember smelling my husbands beer and literally drooling. I didn't let myself take a sip until the last two weeks of pregnancy, only because I knew I'd be craving it even more after a sip. During the last couple weeks I'd have maybe 1/4 to 1/2 of a beer (strong beers) a couple times a week. bhbee on "How often do you give in to pregnancy cravings?" https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-often-do-you-give-in-to-pregnancy-cravings#post-1753925 Fri, 11 Jul 2014 20:46:13 +0000 bhbee 1753925@https://boards.hellobee.com/ When I'm sick I eat whatever I can. It's balanced out with not wanting to eat and I haven't gained much. But I'm concerned I'm not feeling a ton better and past 13 weeks. I don't want to eat crap the whole time.

I'm about to order a hoagie.

I don't send DH out for cravings but I do have ice cream frequently as well as whatever else I'm craving (fries, chips, etc). I'm 25 weeks tomorrow and have only gained 6 pounds! I go for my GTT in two weeks though :shocked: sorrycharlie on "How often do you give in to pregnancy cravings?" https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-often-do-you-give-in-to-pregnancy-cravings#post-1753771 Fri, 11 Jul 2014 19:37:01 +0000 sorrycharlie 1753771@https://boards.hellobee.com/ All the time. At 12 weeks I still have to eat what I can. I gained 5 lbs early on but it's remained static since! regberadaisy on "How often do you give in to pregnancy cravings?" https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-often-do-you-give-in-to-pregnancy-cravings#post-1753753 Fri, 11 Jul 2014 19:25:13 +0000 regberadaisy 1753753@https://boards.hellobee.com/ For me it's more about if I want it bad enough to send DH out to the store or ask him to stop somewhere after a long day at work. :P Weirdly enough this pregnancy the cravings have been much less after the 2nd tri! SleepyMonkey on "How often do you give in to pregnancy cravings?" https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-often-do-you-give-in-to-pregnancy-cravings#post-1753749 Fri, 11 Jul 2014 19:23:36 +0000 SleepyMonkey 1753749@https://boards.hellobee.com/ Always give in. With morning sickness, whatever I craved was the only thing I could eat without feeling worse. I ate so little when I felt sick, that I didn't feel bad about the calories/nutritional content of whatever I was eating. At least it was something. Mrs. Lion on "How often do you give in to pregnancy cravings?" https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-often-do-you-give-in-to-pregnancy-cravings#post-1753690 Fri, 11 Jul 2014 18:44:48 +0000 Mrs. Lion 1753690@https://boards.hellobee.com/ Right now I am eating anything that doesn't make me gag....When I get past the nausea I will go back to eating as healthy as possible again. BeachMama on "How often do you give in to pregnancy cravings?" https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-often-do-you-give-in-to-pregnancy-cravings#post-1753683 Fri, 11 Jul 2014 18:37:09 +0000 BeachMama 1753683@https://boards.hellobee.com/ My nausea has kicked in this week which makes me crave salty food, like french fries or chips. I'm sitting here arguing with myself "oh screw it, you're pregnant, get the fries" vs "I'm only 5 weeks and I don't want to gain a ton of weight" Ugh, it's like the devil and angel on my shoulders! When do you give in to your cravings?
