Post your cravings here!!!

[ladybugchild77]

I am one of the lucky ones without morning sickness...I am sure most of you Mamas are wanting to me but I didn't have any with my dd either...ANYWAY - is anyone having cravings??? I had the hottest chicken wings I could find...I don't even LIKE chicken wings!!! I am so sad they're gone!!! With dd it was Mexican food...AND to top it all off, I was a vegetarian before I got pregnant with #1 -look at me now...

C'mon ladies, break out the cravings (and yes, saltines and ginger ale count...)

[BCmamaof6]

I've been feeling really awful. And yeah...saltines & gingerale have been a staple recently.
But yesterday (after being on the couch with a bucket beside me for hours) I got a craving for


:
A McDonalds cheesburger.



Isn't that awful? I HATE McDonalds. I hate cheesburgers. So greasy & fatty.


But...oh man! Did it taste good! And those french fries! Mmm! Like crack!
Reminded me of being a little kid.


Let me tell ya...I paid for it for the rest of the day though. Blaah!

[Chicky2]

Oh my. The little country store close to us has the BEST burgers, and i want one soooo badly. I don't eat them often, but I could probably get several down right now! too bad the brakes are messed up in our van, or I'd sooo be there. Well, actually, it's probably a really good thing they are messed up, lol.

I am not able to get enough grape tomatoes w/balsamic vinegar and sea salt on them!!!! And frozen blueberries. And ginger ale. Nothing else really sounds good, except the fajitas I just HAVE to have for supper, lol. I need to cook some chicken breast and just cube it up and keep it in the fridge. OH, and spicy roasted garbanzo beans!!! Went thru 3 batches in 2 days, lol.

Well, supper last night was awesome--eggplant, onion, garlic, and bell peppers caremelized and then I made a light cream sauce over it, and added deboned rotisserie chicken. Served over ww rotini w/lots of parm!!! Dang it. now i'm hungry. I'll probably throw everything up, but oh well. Better than throwing up bile.

Ooh, ooh, ooh. Shouldn't have read this. Anything meaty or creamy and definitely anything greasy is turning my stomach at the moment.

I find that sweet stuff goes down the easiest, not sugar-sweet, but apples and oranges and dried fruit/nut mixes and Lara bars. And last night for dinner I had steamed broccoli and shocked myself at how fast I shoveled it in!

At this exact moment though, I really wish I had my stash of plain water crackers. Ugh. Maybe chamomile tea instead...

It's funny, every time I think of the cliche "Pregnant women crave pickles" I get this intense desire for one of those extra-garlic crunchy dills...drool...

ladybugchild, I am with you on the carnivorous pregnancy bit (no offense to any vegetarians). I kept having hamburger dreams with DS! I never ate them much before pregnancy - and even didn't eat many while pregnant, but I still had dreams of them. Weird. This time I have a sweet tooth so far...digging into a chocolate ganache cupcake as I write this!

[happiestmomma]

Gosh, me, it's salads. I've had salad every day since the weekend. I should check to see if my ears have gotten any longer, hahah!
We had some chocolate chip cookies and brownies at our staff meeting today...and I could have heaved just having them in front of me!! Iccccck!

[Media Mama]

Oranges and ginger ale are pretty much it. And, not usually a violent person, I would like to all you nausea-free mamas!

Last time I wanted bacon on everything, and chicken bento with white rice. I was a veg before pregnancy too! :

[Earthy~Mama]

I am personally happy to have all this nausea. It just means that my body is doing the hormone thing right this time. With all of my miscarriages I felt fine so for ME this is a blessing. That said I still have cravings. I am craving big fat convience store hot dogs. Odd as it sounds. I have an extreme aversion to any other "meat" lately. Ohhhh and now I just thought about adding some saurkraut. YUMMY!!!!

[AppleOrangePear]

So far no morning sickness IM just about 7wks only though......

I always kinda had the addiction for Hummus however now i realllllllly have to have it. its even better that my 2yr old son sits aside me and eats it along with me.

I also have been wanting meat more then usual. As of today even the word Chicken doesnt apeal to me ( i think i hated cx pregnant with DS too)

You don't know how glad I am to read this. The only thing that sounds really appealing right now is pizza, and the only thing I could tolerate the other night was an In-N-Out cheeseburger. Slightly better than McD's, but still... why? Even a homecooked burger didn't sound appealing.

Ok, if I didn't already know I was pregnant, I would now. There's no WAY that should sound appealing to me. But it does.

[lizabird]

Anything salty and crunchy just to have something in my stomach and not feel so crappy.

With DS, I remember I loved anything sweet and fruity. I ate lots of watermelons that summer!

With Kiera I had a craving for a CHILI DOG of all things! My dh took a picture because he had never seen me eat meat before. It was from 7-11 becasue everything else was closed!

[Chicky2]

Wahhhh! I wish my van's brakes were working so I could go get a cheeseburger! You all make me hungry!!! I'd probably just yak it up, though.

[umami_mommy]

pretty much anything... i am SO over focused on food right now. last pregnancy it was sex, now it's food!!! :

i am back to watching the food network, which really sucks becuase we have had zero money in the food budget since last week and i have had to do some serious scrounge meal planning.... nothing like what i WANT to eat.

daydreaming about food.....

[Chicky2]

Well, if it's any consolation, we have a houseful of food and I don't want any of it!

[cam&kat's_mom]

I was just htinking of this today!
Right now it's pineapples. annto get enough. Bought a fresh one last week and its GONE Been eatin gdried ones and also canned (haven't been back to store for more fresh) but OH SO LOVE THEM!!
Last pregnancy it was sauerkraut( with cheese in a quesidilla) and chocolate.

Hugh aversion to touching meat hough YUCK! Just can't do it. I can eat it once it's cooked but just cannot prepare it.

[Tori Gollihugh]

Gosh do I have some CRAVINGS! I don't remember this really with DD, especially not this early... but here's mine so far:

Chick-Fil-A (anything there)
choc chip cookies
DH's choc truffles
ALL veggies (even those I didn't think I liked)
stir fry (rice?)
and more meat than I've eaten in a LONG while... those hamburgers sound GOOD!!! *sigh*

fun topic. look forward to hearin from more mamas

See now that sounds like it is right up my alley!!!!

[Chicky2]

Ugh. I need to stop reading this thread, lol. SOmetimes I get hungry reading it. Some of these things just make me wanna hurl, though! :Puke

[leurMaman]

I broke down and had to have mexican food for lunch. I can never find Mexican food here as good as in TX I guess that's a good thing, or I would gain much more weight during pregnancy. Beans and rice...yum!
