Elizabeth86 Posted September 5, 2017 Share Posted September 5, 2017 Thats all I can think about right now. I want: Coffee with flavored creamer A Big Mac A fountain drink Coke A thin crust pizza from Pizza Hut w green peppers and onions A big tub of vanilla ice cream with caramel Nutella I mean, really? The thought of sensible food is so gross to me right now. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cjzimmer1 Posted September 5, 2017 Share Posted September 5, 2017 That pretty much describes all my pregnancies, once in a while I could eat oranges but otherwise it was deli sandwich meat, banquet frozen dinners, ramen noodles and pickle juice (but not pickles, couldn't stomach those). Not sure why because otherwise I eat pretty healthy but for some reason I can't when I'm pregnant. While not ideal I just embraced it because otherwise I'd be puking nonstop and I figure eating junk food and staying hydrated is still better than trying to eat junk food and ending up in the ER from dehydration. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kassia Posted September 5, 2017 Share Posted September 5, 2017 My doctor told me the salt/fat combo helps with the nausea in a lot of women. That could be a reason so many of us crave pizza, chips, etc. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Heatherwith4 Posted September 5, 2017 Share Posted September 5, 2017 I ate some really bad stuff during the first trimester this time around. :) To top it off, I was in the middle of doing a Whole 30 when I found out I was pg. Then I started craving carbs like crazy. I just decided to eat what I could handle. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lawyer&Mom Posted September 5, 2017 Share Posted September 5, 2017 At least you want to eat. I remember a day in my first pregnancy when I just didn't want to eat anything. It all just seemed wrong! Eventually had to make myself eat some cereal against my will... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
regentrude Posted September 5, 2017 Share Posted September 5, 2017 I never ate much ice cream, but when I was pregnant and nursing, I craved vanilla ice cream and ate copious amounts with a soup spoon straight from the tub every night. As soon as I had weaned my children, the craving stopped. I am convinced that it was my body telling me it needed the extra calories and the calcium. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nixpix5 Posted September 5, 2017 Share Posted September 5, 2017 My doctor told me the salt/fat combo helps with the nausea in a lot of women. That could be a reason so many of us crave pizza, chips, etc. This might explain how during my entire first trimester with my first son I craved bacon every single day. I mean Every. Single. Day. It was out of control. The twins gave me a salty sweet tooth. I wanted to eat Kettle Jalepeno chips and then immediately Talenti Pistachio ice cream. My daughter I only craved salmon, red potatoes and every fruit under the sun. Junk food made me sick with her. She was my only girl so my body must have responded differently to those estrogen hormones kicking out double time. That was the only pregnancy I delivered and could fit into my pre pregnancy clothes. Every other one I gained a ton of weight. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The thought of sensible food is so gross to me right now. LOL....With my first I pigged out on pizza and Mounds bars constantly. I gained 40# with DD1. With DD2, I craved fruits and veggies. I didn't gain any weight until towards the end. Total weight gain was approx. 20# Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted September 5, 2017 Share Posted September 5, 2017 I crave all sorts of junk when I'm pregnant. I tend to try and indulge maybe one thing a day whole the rest is on plan, and that seems to control it. Getting plenty of protein also cuts the cravings quite a bit.

trulycrabby Posted September 5, 2017 Share Posted September 5, 2017 Last trimester with ds23, I lived on pimento cheese sandwiches loaded with jalapenos. :o With DS13 it was Taco Bell Tacos. :o Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
medawyn Posted September 5, 2017 Share Posted September 5, 2017 Kraft macaroni and cheese, please, with the neon orange cheese. But if it makes you feel better, I've rounded the corner into my second trimester and I have more energy and am back to eating normal, healthy food again.

KungFuPanda Posted September 5, 2017 Share Posted September 5, 2017 I had an entire week in my first pregnancy when all I wanted was fries from one specific diner. I'm not even THAT into fries. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HSmomof2 Posted September 6, 2017 Share Posted September 6, 2017 I had a serious problem with cheese when I was pregnant......it was the only thing that sounded good, and helped calm my nausea. I ate a ridiculous amount, especially during the first trimester. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SparklyUnicorn Posted September 6, 2017 Share Posted September 6, 2017 I was so sick that anything I could choke down was a win. And yeah, it was often not the most ideal foods. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
brehon Posted September 6, 2017 Share Posted September 6, 2017 For several of my pregnancies the only thing I could reliably eat and not throw up was instant mashed potatoes. I went through boxes of those things. My dh made me mashed potatoes from scratch and I nearly shot him. 😬 I wanted my boxed mashed potatoes.
