Cravings, anyone?

[oliveplants]

I have been craving spicy food the last few weeks.
I was griping to DH about it and he said "Maybe you'll have a Mexican baby" (we're both white).

Anyone else having a craving?

Yes, pickled onions, I'm disappointed with myself, its so un-original. I wanted to have an interesting craving.

It depends on the tv. SOmeone mentions cocoa puffs, I want cocoa puffs. Theres an ad for pizza-I want pizza. Advertising works.

I am the same....someone mentions something and all of a sudden I want that. Exactly that. Have to have it. Right now.

For now its egg sandwiches. before I got pregnant the last time I had them was many years ago. Now I just have to have it. So I don't gain too much weight I try to just have it for lunch everyday.

I haven't had any cravings that have lasted. I just crave whatever takes my fancy. I was the same way when pregnant with my daughter.

I got a craving for chip shop chips and garlic sauce today, so I got some, they were delicious . . . feeling a bit sick now though.

Aww, why did you have to say that?! I miss my chip shop chips

I always want salt y snakcs. I have bene eating chips since I was young. They don't make them so good anymore.

I've been craving unhealthy things. Chips, as some have mentioned (although DH makes our chips with extra virgin olive oil, so they're not as heavy as they are at the chip shop). Hot dogs, with mustard, tomato sauce and cheese. And most of all (as in, sometimes I can't go to bed until I've had one), corned beef and tomato sandwiches.

With Isabel it was every day for a good two or three months, porridge, cold spaghetti (from a can) on toast, and pea and ham soup. Not a pretty combination for someone who was sick 3-5 times a day

Luckily, I'm not as sick with this one, so I'm actually keeping down most of my food.

Sorry, mmmm craving them again now. It's only 11am though, all the chippys will be shut. I think I'll have to resist this craving otherwise I'll be the size of a airbus by the time the baby's born.

I had weird, weird cravings yesterday....so I went and got my snack - port wine cheese & crackers, chips and Dean's french onion dip, Fritos & bean dip, pickles and greek black olives. My hubby was totally grossed out, but it was sooooo good!!

No real cravings here. I have really developed a taste for Orange Juice though. I suppose that's good since I have a cold.

 

[BlondieLashes]

Lately I have been craving oranges. I am not one that normally likes oranges so it's kind of weird. I have been getting skin rashes though since I have been eating a lot of oranges and it just dawned on me today that that might be the reason! You never know!

I have been off eggs for nearly this whole pregnancy, then about a week ago I suddenly started craving boiled eggs and soldiers. Now I have been forcing them on my family nearly every day, I'm sure they're sick of them by now

Yay for being able to eat eggs again!

I craved chicken fried steak with my son (third child) - but never had any cravings with the first two (daughters) ... I missed my monthly 1st of Feb - and have had pregnancy symptoms ... waiting to see if I miss a second before taking another test ... but, I have had strong cravings unlike ever before - chicken one day - salty foods the next - orange juice (GOT TO HAVE). I read an article yesterday that said cravings are our bodies way of supplying the nutrients we may be short on - as long as we don't go biserk with them, we should pay attention to what our body is telling us. I found that interesting.

I've heard this too, but I've also heard that it's a myth, and that it has more to do with our hormones doing odd things to our bodies rather than actually craving what we need. With this pregnancy I would believe that, because I have been craving really unhealthy high sugar, high fat foods that I shouldn't each much of normally, let alone during pregnancy. I have been trying to fight the cravings, though, and only have these things sometimes. And I've gone off a lot of healthy things that I really should be eating. I suppose it's just one of those things that there are a gazillion different theories on

God Bless.

Yes, my craving this week has been Fruit Loops. I don't know what nutrient it could possibly have that I need.
