Hellobee Boards

Oh gosh... my pregnancy diet was ridiculous.
The first trimester all I wanted were chocolate chip muffins but only from a certain bakery. And Arby's roast beef sandwiches. We didn't have one where we were living so I had dreams about eating there.
The second trimester we spent a month in Maui and there was a place down the road that had the best caesar salad so I would order it once (or sometimes twice) a day.
In the third trimester I had insomnia so I would watch Netflix from like 2-4 AM and eat powdered donuts.

I can't believe I didn't gain more weight than I did!

Fast food, specifically Wendy's spicy chicken sandwich and chocolate frosties. Generally I have more a sweet tooth during pregnancy and always end up eating more ice cream than usual.

With my first, it was baked potatoes. I ate a ton of Wendy's baked potatoes. I also went carb heavy with that pregnancy. I think that there was ice cream in there too.

With my second one, it was a lot of peppers like green, yellow, red peppers with ranch dressing. I became lactose intolerant with that pregnancy, so no ice cream then, but lots of cupcakes and cookies.

Fries with gravy. Generally I'm not really a French fries person, but pregnant me cannot get enough of them.

My first pregnancy I craved burgers constantly. I also craved popcorn and gatorade.

I'm only 7 weeks in, but so far with my current pregnancy I just want carbs.

@cascademom: I loved baked potatoes with my first!
With my second I ate a lot of veggie sushi and it’s this one I’m craving crunchy carbs like pretzels and dry cereal. Oh, and candy

1st pregnancy: milk, hummus & veggies, grapefruit - I could seriously sit and eat 4 whole grapefruit in one sitting, I went through many pounds of them per week.

2nd pregnancy: taco bell, ice cream, root beer, candy...probably why I've gained almost twice as much this time...

Cornbread! All.the.cornbread!

All the potatoes. And french fries. And tater tots. And chips

It changed so much with DD, and it was mostly stuff I don't normally eat. It started with crispy hash browns and sausage everyday, then steak and buttery roasted Brussels sprouts and then McDonald's cheese burgers. I couldn't get enough mcdonalds cheese burgers. DS it was deli sandwiches and any kind of sauce. I wanted sauce on everything, any kind and sometimes mixed multiple together.

#1 noodles with butter
#2 lime jello and instant mashed potatoes
#3 jelly beans and carbs
#4 all things fruit. Actual fruit, fruity candy, raspberry sherbet....

Sushi! Only cooked stuff like California rolls so it’s more of an indulgence for my wallet...not cheap to buy an $11 roll every time I have a craving.

With my two prior miscarried pregnancies I wanted Little Caesars hot and ready cheese pizza and orange juice alllll the time.

DS1 I had the worst morning sickness and I was sick for 6 months. And then again the last month. The only things that made me feel better were heavy greasy foods and white carbs. So every morning I had a sausage egg and cheese mcmuffin with the hash brown. Often lunch was a cheeseburger and crinkle fries. Dinner was chicken katsu with white rice.

DS2 I was less severely sick but still needed a fair amount of heavy food to keep my MS in check. I wanted a lot of blue cheese my second trimester so I pretty much ate Cobbs and bacon bleu cheese burgers (with the BBQ sauce and onion strings yummmm) constantly.

Red Gatorade and Blue Powerade.

@jhd thanks, I just had Jimmy John's turkey for lunch (I'm 8 wks and all food sounds crappy, but I can eat some plain deli type sandwiches)

@MrsADS: I don’t know what it is about sandwiches. Better than my first tri with LO 1 where I literally had a week I ate nothing but potato chips and vanilla wafers! I hope you start feeling better soon. It’s so hard to find something that sounds good in the first tri.

I’m not usually a chocolate person but I’ve been eating milk chocolate bar every single day. Actually sugar in general, I can’t get enough sweets. And no, it’s not a girl I’m actually quite worried that I’ll end up with GD because I’m eating so much sugar but I just can’t stop.

Also Korean barbecue. I’ve been going to Ktown once a week to get Korean barbecue with my friends or my husband.

And yeah, carbs, but that seems to be pretty common.

Fortunately I’ve also craved some really healthy things like salads with lots of kale and grains and tofu.

I wanted ceaser salad for a while then I was hooked on a surprisingly delicious microwave mug cake and I have wanted melted cheese like no bodies business.

I'm so jealous of all of you sweet food ladies. This is my first, and I'm only ~6 weeks, but sweets make me so sick. I even got sick after eating a handful of super ripe raspberries that I picked off our bush this morning. Maybe once I'm out of the first trimester I'll be able to indulge.

I have been absolutely craving anything spicy though, and, for some reason, chicken thighs. Before I knew I was pregnant I started dreaming about chicken thighs and, no joke, I've dreamt about them at least once a week for the past three weeks.

I drank a lot of strawberry milk and ate a lot of strawberry ice cream. I also craved the Green Giant Tuscan seasoned broccoli LOL
