<p>I went grocery shopping a day or two before I got my BFP and I came home with totally different stuff than what I usually buy.  Including raisin bran, which I usually can't stand.  And (veggie) ramen noodles...YUM.  Today I am fantasizing about cottage cheese, which I never buy.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>What sounds good to you ladies that you don't usually like?  Or am I the only one?  <span><img alt="redface.gif" src="http://files.mothering.com/images/smilies/redface.gif"></span></p>

<p>Pickles.  I would really like to eat some fried pickles, although I have NEVER had a pickle that I liked.  A lot of the things I used to like now seem gross, which is kind of an odd turn, but that's ok, because it was mostly junk food anyway.  </p>

<p>Not yet, but I am sure it's coming. I was really picky about food during the 1st tri. Nacho cheese and fried chicken was the most memorable.</p>

<p>Ever since someone mentioned crispy roasted kale in another thread, I can't stop thinking about it!   I would want soy sauce on it. With DD, I wanted lime,  Lime on everything.  And tofurky sandwiches with vegenaise on potato bread, microwaved for 15 seconds.  With DS, I don't think I had any craving.  Hmmm.  This kale thing is odd.  I am also drinking seltzer like there's no tomorrow.  Raspberry lime seltzer.  I wonder if that is OK to have in large quantities?  I know water is best but I just need the fizziness! </p>

<p>no strange cravings, though I didn't get strange ones with my previous pregnancies either. With my first pregnancy the only craving I remember is a really, really strong craving for salt and vinegar chips. With my second one I had to have vanilla soft serve in a dish ice cream every day for like 2 months. I'm sure that had nothing to do with my 80 lb weight gain! </p>
<p> </p>
<p>This time nothing strange, nothing strong. Just cravings for foods I don't normally eat a lot of. White breads. Lots of bread. Aversions to foods I love. Kale, brussels sprouts. Um, veggies in general! That's definitely more my upset stomach than anything else though.</p>

<p>Mmmm...I love kale chips, but I have them with balsamic vinegar and olive oil.  I've been craving them recently, but that's nothing new for me.  <span><img alt="yummy.gif" src="http://files.mothering.com/images/smilies/yummy.gif"></span> </p>
<p> </p>
<p>My mom always used to say that carbonated beverages deplete calcium (which definitely wouldn't be a good thing in pregnancy), but I have no idea if that's true.  Oddly, I've been really liking plain old water lately. </p>

My old track coach said it depleted something, but I don't remember what. I don't know if that's so much carbonated in general or sodas? I've been drinking/craving ginger-ale in the morning - and I almost never drink any soda unless there's rum in it! </p>
<p> </p>
<p>I know that soda can deplete potassium.</p>

<p>I suddenly love kraut and cabbage (being Austrian this should not be a huge surprise ;-)</p>

<p>I second pickles (have gone through almost two jars in the last two weeks!) and cottage cheese...oh yum.  Generally, I am interested in anything dairy, and anything salty.  I think I am more in to meat than usual, and eggs are starting to sound very good.  I have not had a problem with aversions yet, but I do think that I am less interested in sugar, unless it is in ice cream.</p>

 

[Charlize]

<p>I want tomatoes, vinegar and salt. And meat, too. I'm also craving veggies and fruits much more than before. And for some odd reason, I can't stand even looking at potatoes and french fries. Bread is optional.</p>
<p> </p>

 

[tracymom1]

<p>Peppermint ice cream!  Thank goodness the holidays are near!</p>
<p> </p>
<p>I am having more aversions than cravings right now, though it seems like carbs are the thing I am drawn to the most.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>And, I have to say, I absolutely hate kale and kale chips!  Every time I read something about them I just can't believe that people actually like them.  I am a veggie hound - I love my greens, but for some reason kale has just never set well with me.  I tried it several times this summer and fall because we got so much of it in our CSA, and no matter how I prepared it, I just didn't like it.  Sauteed, baked, raw, in stew, etc... nothing.  Its too bad because it is soooooo good for you! Bah!</p>

[artekah]

I can't even read these food threads because thinking about food makes me feel pukey. Ughhh!

 

[hildare]

<p>really grody salad dressing with anchovies.  wha??</p>

 

[heavensearth]

<p>meat, meat and more meat! its so strange!!! We dont really eat a lot of meat in our house but that seems to be all I want! I could have killed someone for chicken today but all of ours is frozen (we buy happy chickens - pasture raised from a local farm) but I couldnt take it so I went to KFC! I havent been there in years! Im not convinced that what I had was actually chicken, but it was good at the time and now I feel gross </p>

 

[noahs.mom06]

<p>I have been wanting a glass of milk... and I don't drink milk (I'm lactose intolerant). Seriously though, I would LOVE a nice tall glass of really cold milk!</p>

 

[serenityjewell]

<p>I'm on a candida free diet (meat, veggies, beans, legumes only) right now, so I wish I could eat some of the things you are craving. Luckily, I'm not having any cravings or aversions, but I am HUN GRY!!</p>
