Weird Cravings? (While Pregnant) I just saw Shana's thread about that new drink that tasted like pickle's & watermelon juice & it made me think of this! :D While you were pregnant what was your weirdest craving? I really didn't have anything too crazy, but I did crave macaroni & cheese mixed w/ tuna. :p |
Baby #1 I craved Mexican food, Baby #2 Chili's fajitas, salad from Olive Garden, Baby #3 Krispy Kreme donuts and McDonald's cheeseburgers. Oh yeah, and with #3 I gained 60 pounds so I definitely don't recommend those cravings! Along with eating about everything else in sight! |
OH Fun! With my first son I craved crunching on ice cubes, I couldn't live without a big cup of ice cubes at my desk all day in my last trimester. Which was really wierd for me cause I hate to chew on ice cubes otherwise. The moment he was born that went away instantly. Oh and milk and mashed potatoes too. With my second son MUSTARD!!! I couldn't get enough. I would send my husband to Subway and made him tell the sandwich maker to just keep squirting that stuff on. If I wasn't afraid my husband and Subway would think I was way too wierd, I would have just asked for a mustard sandwich. LOL :D |
Too funny! Mustard! It's weird that the minute you give birth all those cravings go away! I ate cereal & milk everyday & I can't even stand to look at a box of cereal now! Oh & if I ever see a bottle of tums or caffeine free diet pop I think I would puke! haha! :D |

Now every time I drive by Krispy Kreme I want to puke! |
I had the same cravings with all 3 of my kids. Crushed ice, lemons, anything sour, And the most weird one, laundry detergent or any other powdered cleaner. I would wake up with my mouth watering for my fix of A-jax. I would pour a pile in my hand, add a few drops of water and smoosh it and smell it. And with the laundry detergent, I would have a small box with the scooper next to me bed. I would get a scoop full and hold it up about 6in and pour it back in the box so I can smell the dust. It's a wonder my kids came out ok. LOL I try and do that now and I sneeze and gag. But when pregnant I just loved it and had to have it. |
This is my first pregnancy, and funny thing is, i haven't had cravings for anything like pickle juice and watermelons or anything.. but i do crave for fettucine alfredo and steak a lot.. oh and i LOVE anything sour :) that's about it.. i'm so glad that i haven't vomitted :) i'm a lucky on i guess.. i did have nausea.. and fatigue (i get short of breath a lot though) and my back aches :( have any of you had really terrible symptoms during pregnancy? |

Xtine, you should be glad you're not craving!! Midnight rides to the store for sauerkraut and peanut butter could put a dent in your beauty sleep!! Congratulations on your pregnancy. I hope all goes well for you! Do you know what you're going to have? Or I guess I should say, do you want to know or be surprised? |

so i wasn't the only one!!!! With my 1st (a girl)I couldnt get enough of ice cubes...luckily a friend owns a pub with ice machine so she gave me them by the bucketful which im sure ruined my teeth :rolleyes: Also fried egg and mushroom and mayonaise sandwiches. With my 2nd (a boy) nothing... felt too sick all the way thru could only eat Rice crispies but i certainly didnt crave them it was the only thing i could stomach :rolleyes: |
Well with both of mine I threw up the whole first five months!! If I was awake I was puking - no fun!! Then I couldn't get enough mexican food with my daughter!! I especially loved guacamole, I had never tried it before I was pregnant with her and couldn't get enough!! I loved to take their mozzerella cheesticks and dip them in guacamole and salsa!! It's wonder she didn't come out green!! With my son it was hot dogs and chicken - pretty tame compared to her. :D |
My first pregnancy I craved milk. I would eat cereal,drink hot chocolate,and drink chocolate milk. Both pregnancies I chewed Ice. |
Ha ha ha...I had some wierd ones. It seems like the further along I got, the wierder they got. It started off with Taco Bell Enchiritos, then moved to Vinegar and Salt Chips and Cherry Icees.Then phase 2 was the time of Cocoa Crispies...like, every meal, a box a day! Towards the end, things got a little odd. I craved ice (due to lower iron, I was told). Not soft, half melted ice--ANY ice. To the point that I would munch on it until my toungue would go numb and actually bleed! :eek: I also LOVED the way odd things smelled...like magic markers and the tire section at Wal-Mart and mostly new carpet? My husband had gotten new car mats that had a strong, new carpet smell and I would just go sit in his truck smelling them and eating ice! :p Could have been worse...I had a friend that craved dirt (yes, dirt) when she was pregnant! :eek: |
I craved things in spurts, for two weeks it was bacon then it was spinich, then nacho cheese, then slice & bake cookies. I craved mashed potatoes mixed with corn for about a month. They seemed to change often! The odd thing was I had an aversion to chicken, raw or cooked. I had to ban chicken from the house. If I saw it or smelt it or if someone even said chicken then I would throw up. My (x) husband tried to sneak chicken into the house and shoved it way back in the freezer... I found it, it was'nt pretty!!! I can eat chicken now but the first time I ate it after I delivered Mia was pretty scary. I was scared that I was going to puke on everyone!!! |
