Well, I know when I'm on my period, I always crave salty foods... So I'm imagining that since the hormones that would keep me pregnant are pretty much the opposite of those that would make my period come, I'd probably be craving sweet foods?
When I was pregnant I didn't crave weird combinations of food or things that I don't normally like - I wanted foods that I already liked - but alot of them! And that typically aren't good for me. :) With my son I wanted Flaming Hot Cheetos and sour gummy worms. Yeah. Oh, and alot of watermelon near the end....at least watermelon is good for me. With my daughter it was Taco Bueno and strawberries.
I craved green olives...I could eat a whole jar in one sitting. It would really disgust my husband but they were sooo good. After my daughter was born I haven't even wanted to look at green olives.
I didn't have a lot of cravings, but I did eat an entire #10 can of that nasty orange nacho cheese sauce during my 23rd week. I put it on everything I ate and could not get enough. After that week I went back to not being interested.
Skittles (only the original kind) & green apples & my favorite mexican food steak tacos with cilantro & onions with avacado & extra lime squeezed on top... oh my mouth is watering now...I still like my mexican food, still like green apples...but skittles, when I was pregnant my boyfriend would bring me 2 pound bags home from Walmart and now can't eat em...
Not much. I in fact always craved food - so I didn't feel any differently when I was pregnant. If anything, I'd say ice cream and watermelon! :)
Orange juice. I was obsessed with the OJ.
I haven't really had any odd cravings, but I seem to always want milk to quench my thirst. Usually water would do the trick, but 6 months into this pregnancy I drink milk with everything.
Don't think it's too odd. But I remember craving vanilla creamsicles all the time.
Don't really have any cravings out of the ordinary.
Jalapenos, donuts, and milk. The spicier food the better. But the
baby won't calm down for hours after I eat hot food. People's perfumes
also remind me of food. Today I told a lady her perfume smelled like
snow cones, lol.
Also, I quit smoking when I found out I was pregnant and now I can't
stop craving cigarettes more than a half year later! I know they
stink, taste bad, and are unhealthy, but I want one every time I see
one. I think it might have to do with the type of cravings like
wanting to eat chalk and other weird things.
i am currently about 6 months pregnant. i haven't been craving weird foods or odd food combinations, just the foods i already like and...more just wanting to eat a lot. mostly unhealthy foods like mcdonalds cheeseburgers and mcnuggets, spaghetti o's, vanilla soft serve, kind of random things like that.
I craved root beer, green olives, and dill pickles, all of which I normally hate. That's how I figured out I was pregnant. I downed the relish tray at Thanksgiving and washed it down with root beer.
Jalapeno poppers and hot wings.
It was watermelon here. It was so bad at one point we had to keep spare watermelons around b/c I would eat one every 2-3 days and cry when it was gone.
giant soft pretzel with port wine cheese, pepperoni and pickles --mmmm!!!!
oh, yeah, and gallons of apple juice - which I used to hate
haha ive never been pregnant but i love reading/hearing about the strange food cravings. i hope i have some. so long as it's not meat D: (vegetarian)
I have never been pregnant, but upon thinking about pregnancy cravings I find it amusing that what my Mom craved with me, is evry very similer to what my Stepmom craved with my sister. Dairy Queen sundays for both, except my Mom liked pineapple, and Wendy wanted strawberry :D
{PS with me I would bet money that it'll be orange juice, and I find it entertaining reading about what other people crave.}
@Happiness_Reigns@xanga - DUDE! when I read that a perfume smelled like snow cones I cracked up laughing...thanks for the giggle...and where can I get some of that perfume? lol
I have never been pregnant...maybe in a couple years...and if I ever start craving things that I normally don't like (Broccoli, carrots, peppers, onions), then I will know that I am pregnant...
when my friend was pregnant, she always had cheese on strawberries...
when i'm on my period, i tend to crave for junk food and a lot of cuddles
i craved enchiladas with honey and Snickers bars with ketchup! 0.o
I lost a lot of appetite for the foods I enjoyed before I was pregnant. I'm always up for bbtea with tapioca during my pregnancy!! I can have it everydayyyyy.
I started drinking pickle juice right away... that is when my hubby questioned whether or not I was pregnant after spying me guzzling out of the jar.
I also ate cream cheese and green olive sandwiches every day for a month. Then it was italian ice's and popcicles. Then I craved tator tots and Promised Land chocolate milk. So, nothing weird besides the pickle juice.
Oh, and I have craved Shrimp since day one.
Now I just crave milk and chocolate all the time.
