Are you having any strange cravings?

Boy, I can't even imagine wanting wasabi. Not for me!

But I crave strawberries (which I normally never eat) and oranges, and BREAD WITH BUTTER.

Last pg, I craved red meat like mad. This time, I'm trying to eat it (a genetic form of anemia is my possible barrier to my birth center birth) but I just don't enjoy any protein foods for now.

MMMMMM, bread with butter sounds really good, I think I'll go have some. My cravings change day to day, the other day I made butter noodles with a lot of butter and parmeson cheese, it was soooooo good!! I have been eating a lot of oranges too, just everything, I am pretty much hungry all the time!

Avocados & string cheese. Gotta have it: all day, everyday.

I'm craving anything with sugar, especially chocolate, but that is probably due to the fact that I have cut it out of my diet. I do have an occasional chocolate covered almond but it just doesn't curb the evil cravings monster!! I would love a big slice of french silk pie right now. However, I do have a homemade jar of pickles sitting on my desk that someone brought into work today and it is extremely tempting .

You can get veggie sushi, or sushi with cooked fish/eggs, etc. You can even easily make your own. Sushi is one of my absolute favorite things, and I have it fairly often, though I do avoid the raw fish while pregnant.

I'm loving proteins and salads this pregnancy. Hot veggie dishes aren't really doing it for me, but a big salad with lots of veggies and some cheese and a light dressing is just the ticket.

My big craving, though, is for sweets. I really, really love sweet stuff right now, even though I know it's not great for me or baby. I can power through candy, cookies, ice cream, cake, pie, etc. And fruits just don't hold off the craving - it has to be the bad stuff. So far I'm doing fairly well at limiting myself to one serving of bad sweets per day, but I don't know how long that will last. Right now I'm dreaming about ice cream.... Mmmmmm...

I, too, find tuna sandwiches MORE appealing than I normally do lately. As a rule, I don't really like fish, but I try to eat it because it is good for me. (Can't stand the smell in the house, though, so only have DH grill it or buy it from restaurants--usually fish & chips!) Somehow, now that I'm trying to avoid mercury, I could eat a tuna sandwich every couple/few days. I'm limiting them to once every week or two, though.

I was going to say 'no,' that I've been pretty lucky, but then yesterday I made fudge brownies and before they'd even cooled, I ate two rows along with a massive glass of 1% milk. I just had to - haven't done that since, well, EVER. Oops.

I mostly just crave grapefruit! My non-pregnant self likes grapefruit just fine, but now if I had an unlimited budget, I'd probably eat 10 a day.

Since I've been eating them so much, ds and dd have been wanting to eat them too so my grapefruit stash is going way too quickly. This week alone I spent $14 on grapefruit; it's only Tuesday, and they're almost gone .

What is blood pudding??? The name is, uh...not exactly appealing!

Meg_s where are you from, I have never heard of anyone "craving" blood pudding, kinda yucky to me.
