Cravings

I have passed the queasy faze of the pregnancy I hope for good. You know, where smells make you sick to your stomach and NOTHING is appealing to eat? There were plenty of days where I would only eat one meal because of the queasy factor, and while some things do make me sick to think about, I think (hope) I have moved passed that.

We may have moved into the "I want everything as a craving" portion of the pregnancy. Where every day it is something new and delicious to eat.
Monday-tacos! Tuesday- burgers! Wednesday- pasta! Thursday- Ice cream!!!
Friday- a salad with everything in it!
You get the picture.

I am glad that I am not a gross pregnant eater. Like my friends who crave bananas and ketchup or the women who have pica cravings.
I am not a pickle and ice cream eater. I am just an over eater.
Oh, God, I just pray I don't gain too much weight. I only gained 19.5lbs with the twins and I highly doubt that will be the case this time.

So, tell me what your worst pregnancy cravings were, and maybe I will send a prize to the grossest craving.


This prize may or may not be bananas and ketchup.

  1. Congrats on your pregnancy! A happy and healthy 40 weeks to you!!

    I craved powdered sugar donuts dipped in potato soup. Yum right? That was the first pregnancy.
    With the second I craved hot wings and ice cream sandwiches. Obviously not eaten combined, but in the same sitting, numerous times. That was bad, and the beginning of a close relationship with antacids.

    When I was pregnant I craved roast chicken! Sometimes on my way home from pregnancy yoga I would go to the supermarket and buy a piece or rotisserie roast chicken. WHY DO I THINK THIS IS WEIRD? I'm a vegetarian!!

    Kind of weird that arielle said donuts and potato soup because I loved chocolate cake and mashed potatos. Gross, I know.

    But I actually found out after admitting it years after my pregnancy that many people consider that some weird form of dietary... what-do-you-call-it? yin and yang? I don't know, they compliment each other or something. I can't stomach the thought now, but it worked with my first born. Maybe that's what's wrong with him! LOL

  8. I got totally screwed with my pregnancy. I was sick until my eighth month and I think I ingested about 400 calories the entire pregnancy. I threw up literally everything I ate about ten minutes after I ate it. No cravings, no binges, nothing. I lost fourteen pounds my first trimester and then gained fifteen overall. I hope I am not sick for my next one so I can happily indulge.

  9. French Fries. Dipped in everything and anything- dipped in ice cream, Wendy's frosties, hot sauce, ranch dressing, olive oil, vinegar...I had to have french fries Every. Single. Day.
    I wasn't big on weird cravings, even though people would see me dipping my fries and look like they wanted to hurl. Hey, they were good to me!
