Cravings

[sassue2u]

I could eat a whole bakery right now...and it's after midnight. My sweet tooth is outta control. Anyone else?

I crave breakfast foods - pancakes, french toast, bacon, sausage, eggs, etc. I also really like Pepsi from a fountain. No Coke, no cans or bottles - it has to be from a fountain. Luckily, these have not hit at odd times YET!

This morning I had french toast for breakfast followed by half a bag of Milano cookies, which I had to eat while facing the stove so my kids wouldn't see Mommy eating cookies for breakfast! You can't enjoy them quite the same under that kind of pressure but I couldn't wait till nap time.

When I was PG I craved potatoes... however made I needed them. I would use the cheese grater to make hash browns and while one batch cooked I was getting another ready by the platefuls. Same with baked potatoes and McDonalds fries.

Soooo true!!! LOL

I ate dirt cake pretty much all day long today. My monthly OB appt is tomorrow---I bet that darn scale is gonna rat me out.

I craved hot wings during the last 4 months of my first PG. You have to understand, I despise ANYTHING the least, remote bit spicy. Even mild in most places is too spicy for me. But I ate hot wings almost every day for lunch for 4 months. I still eat them on occasion, too. Go figure.

So just out of curiousity - does your first like spicy foods now? A friend of mine could not eat chicken during her pregnancy and still to this day her son can't stand chicken. Just curious to see if that's typical.

[Alli~cat]

Nope, he cannot stand anything remotely spicy, not even basic black pepper (of course, I don't like that either). But come to think of it, spaghetti made me sick with him, and he refuses to eat spaghetti sauce. And since I lived on crackers for the first 5 months, maybe that is why he prefers salty foods to sweet?? I never really thought about it like this before :) And with my second, there was no one particular thing that made me sick or that I craved, so maybe that is why she eats everything :D

I've always wondered about the connections to cravings during pregnancy and what the children like to eat. I'm sure there are reports out their documenting research on this - would be fun to see.

[Admin 100thousandaire]

It must not work when you have gestational diabetes - cuz both of those kids do not care for veggies. I had to eat rounded dishes and they both prefer to eat snack stuff over real food. The middle DS will eat any and everything and I did not have GD with him.

With dd22 I craved pizza and ice cream. With ds19 I craved pasta and milk

[alishalea]

This pregnancy I am craving sushi like crazy! I'm not eating the raw stuff, just the cooked. We are spending way to much money every week on sushi take out. I just can't get enough! Ummm....wasabi!

[My2Blessings]

With this pregnancy I have had a horrid sweet tooth. I normally eat a lot of sweets, but with this one it has been out of control. I tried cutting back, but the cravings are still intense. Now, I just limit my serving size and drink A LOT of water.

ummm....did I miss the announcement post? Are you preggers?

I don't think she is, the thread is from over a year and a half ago

[GaMomof2Girls]

Thanks, I guess I should check the dates first huh?

Wow, talk about pulling a thread out of the wood work

When I was pg with DS I craved chocolate ice cream and peaches. He loves them both. With DD I craved egg drop soup I'm not sure if she like it. There was a mom/pop restaurant by my house and I would go get large soup couple times a week. After awhile I would walk through the door and the wife would start making my order. I went after DD and the family was so happy to meet her and they gave her a bonsai tree. I guess she was there little soup baby. Sadly the place is now closed and reopen as a Thai place.

When I was pregnant with DS4 I craved cheeseburgers -they were the only things that got rid of my nausea .This time round I tried the cheeseburger thing but it does not work! Good thing really as after I had DS4 I was left with a real cheeseburger butt!!!!!!!!

When I was pregnant with dd21 I craved Chinese food and get this, Bluebell Homemade vanilla ice cream with sweetened condensed milk poured on top. In the last 2 months I had pre eclampsia and had to really watch my diet. I had broiled fish with lemon and steamed broccoli for dinner almost everyday. (very bland, but I lost 7lbs of water weight in 2 days) My dd21 loves Chinese food, ice cream and sushi (from all the fish I ate?)

When pregnant with dd18 the thought of ice cream or any thing creamy made me sick, so I never ate any. Again, I craved Chinese food. DD18 does not like creamy things, including ice cream, and loves Chinese food!

[gab1971]

When I was pregnant with DS4 I had a very strange craving (pica) it was to eat white emulsion paint -obviously not something I could give in to !
I also craved very strong mints in the last 2 months -a bit of a safer craving:)
