I had the same craving during first tri with DS - Hungry Jacks! I ate it for dinner every night for a week.
I had such awful nausea I figured it was better I eat that than nothing. Your appetite will settle down again in a month or two, just eat whatever you need to to get through this time because it will pass :)
OMG Janeo,
Hope you get over that soon, you cant have a chocolate free life forever. I love coffee and I must say cant drink more then half a cup per day now. URRGGGGG:(
I've had cravings for McDonalds & KFC (nuggets, chips and gravy) and hot chips. I never used to be a fan of these foods so I have no idea why I am craving them. I did start to get worried about weight gain, as normally if I ate these foods, I would put on weight in no time flat. I don't mind getting rid of baby weight but self-induced junk food weight gain is not something that I want to be on the treadmill for after the birth. I've promised myself that I'll try to get back to a size 10, then back to 8 but I realise I'll have bigger priorities, but I still won't forget about it. I've tried to cut down to one junk session a week. I think this is better for both bubba and me. Sorry to be a wet blanket!
With my last preg i had the biggest sweet tooth ever!!!! I knew i was having a girl purely from the constant chocolate cravings. I just couldn't get enough of the sweets...lollies, icecream.... I had a big piklets/pancakes with jam and cream stage too. I'm beginning to feel the same way this preg...mmmm wonder if it's another pink one :D But after eating all that junk i managed to only gain 5 kilos in the entire preg (baby weight and all) so i didn't feel too bad.
I craved salt and vinegar chips... actually chips of all kinds - twisties, burger rings, you name it. The great thing was that I was so over feeling nauseous and tired that if I ate these things I actually felt good! So I reckon it settles down.
I also really wanted fresh fruit and juice - still do. That can't be bad, right?!!
I have totally gotten into all sorts of junk food while I've been pg - I think I like the salty stuff particularly - hot chips and scallops, KFC burgers... That Colonel really knew what he was doing with those herbs and spices!
I'm sure I shall be cursing that same Colonel when I'm walking every day with bub in the pram trying to make up for all my bingeing!
hahahah "Snacks" im rolling on the floor laughing... hehehehehehehe
I also remember watching that Supersize Me doco when i was preg and instead of being repulsed by Maccas i insisted DH pick up a large McCHicken meal for dinner - lol!!!!!
LOL I had cravings for McChicken burgers and Hungry Jacks during the 1st tri too. Oh and KFC mashed potato & gravy. My thing atm is 2 minute noodles with chilli sauce and a squeeze of lemon.
OMG I AM HUNGRY :doh: :doh: :doh: :doh: the more i read the more i want heheheheheheheheh
Rae,
That's what my DH and I were watching last night. My DH goes, I know this is bad but how about macca's for dinner, and I was like, yeah cool!
But I paid for it big time through the night!!!
Girls, what ever you like normally, you tend to hate when pregnant. I'm normally not a sweet tooth but when pregnant with Patrick and this little one I am really into to sweet things.
I think it's that metallic taste in my mouth. I can't stand coffee at the moment, not from the smell (like the last 2 pregs) but just the taste, it's soooo bitter!!!
Love my cuppa's of tea, and I find that they are helping my tummy settle much better this pregnancy. This has been the least sick I've been in all 3. Just feel sick when really hungry which I think are all the juices gurgling away!!!!:eek:
I do think trying to cut down on the junk is a really good thing because after you've had bubba, and to some of you, that's seems like a long way off, it's VERY hard to get the weight off. I bought an exercise bike after Patrick was about 5 months old and that did the trick, but no amount of walking before that shifted anything, and that can really add to your depression levels!!!!!!!!! It was the biggest I've ever been.
Take care and happy eating
Hahahahah -i know what you mean. I've just consumed a meat pie, a packet of Fruit Tingles, chocolate moove and a Cadbury Timeout....and i'm still hungry :D
During frst trimester I didnt crave specific foods, but I would crave something really salty and found that Macca's fries were perfect and also Coles original flavour Corn Chips... Of course, I was so sick I'd just throw them up straight away anyway..
I find Tim Tams are extremely satisfying if I'm craving a sugar hit. We have choccie bickies on fridays at work, and i eat soooo many of them. I feel like such a pig, but I just tell people that baby wants a Tim Tam/Caramel Crown/Kingston bickie etc.
I have been wanting to eat lots of oranges though so thats quite nice.
LOL!!! I had a Meat Pie from Michelles pastisseri the other day, and Felt exactly the same.....It was devine....and I never thought about them that way before!!!:
When Preg with DS I ate 3 very healthy meals a day, but in between came the chocolate,snickers bars, chips, pies, custard tarts and berliner buns. OMG they were devine too.
As long as you are eating some really good food in between, Im sure you'll be fine. I thought you craved what your body needs? Well....that was my excuse LOL!
It is so funny to read how much we do crave things when pregnant. With my first pregnancy I craved oranges in any shape or form - I would eat, squeeze them! One day I had 9 oranges! Then it went to M&M's. I once ate a 500g bag in one day and when finished my jaw was in serious pain LOL!!!!! Needless to say I gained 23 kilos! Second pregnancy was chips (from anywhere but mainly McDonald's) and donuts! Thankfully I only gained 14 kilos and still trying to budge that last 5!
Eat to your hearts content everyone, its the only time you get to truly indulge!
Exactly!!! And the extra weight soon falls off when you start running around after that baby anyway!:
Milk, Salt & Vinegar Chips, Sushi and Dr Pepper.. (not all together)
vegemite and cheese on salads
banana paddlepops
apple crumble and cream
I didn't crave a specific food, but did crave carbohydrates in my first trimester (pasta, potato bake, etc) ... mostly because it helped my constant morning sickness.
salt and vinegar chips
not a food but i CRAVED the smell of the vacuum... you know that smell that comes out the back of them? It really felt as tho i was just going to burst if i couldnt have it when i wanted it... strange....
The only craving I have had has been in the last couple of months........lots and lots of milk! Normally I can only drink soy milk, but ATM I am going through 4 litres of cows milk and one of soy milk a week!!!!!! Oh, and I'm hanging out for blue and goats cheese, but I don't think that's a craving, it's just cos it's been soooo long LOL!
I don't think I can blame my chocolate cravings on pg, cos I always have them hehe.........
I have usually had similar cravings with all my pg's. Mainly oranges in the later part of pg, milk (ice cold) the whole way through the pg and with Lindsay I craved strawberries for the first few weeks of the pg. I have more food aversions than cravings. My biggest one is broccoli - can't stand the smell of it cooking or the taste of it. With Lindsay and this pg it is really bad - the smell of it cooking makes me gag and I cna't even eat veges that have been cooked in the same saucepan as it, but with the girls it wasn't too bad.
Ice, Ice and more ice. With both of mine, but it hasn't kicked in yet. I don't really get other craving apart from ice, although i've been wanting to eat lots of fresh vegies - either raw or cooked. I think that's just because I like vegies though!
CHOCOLATE CHOCOLATE CHOCOLATE CHOCOLATE!!!!!!!
Every day - Im surprised I havent put on more weight with the amount I eat!
For someone who ate chocolate once a week if that, prior to being pg - I now think about what chocolate I can eat after dinner, while Im still eating my main!! mmmm
chocolate, solo and maccas chicken burgers are my main ones haha how healthy am i???
fruit has been a major craving both last pregnancy and this one.
last time i started craving icy cold fresh full cream milk, from about 14 weeks onwards (i would go through two-three litres a day and if the bottle had been opened for more then two days i couldn't bring myself to drink it). i don't usually like milk.
and in the last month or so of my last pregnancy i couldn't get enough chocolate. everything had to be chocolate (even my milk).
OMG Kellxx!!! Where are you getting the Dr Pepper! It is my fave softdrink that I miss from home and I have been craving it heaps, well that and cinnamin chewy and reeces peanut butter cups and butterfingers and skor bars, maybe I should be getting a ticket to Canada.
My cravings are not too far off the style of emz vacumm which I also enjoy the smell of. *Turps when I do my oil painting although I have removed it from my house until after I give birth.
*Rubber, both the smell and taste, like putting my tongue on my hot water bottle to get that tang from it and smelling Juz's new shoes, I won't put my tongue to them though.
*The smell of the nursery because it was painted a month ago and you can still smell it.
*The smell of cigarette smoke but only a slight hint of it and it has to be burning at the time, I have a major aversion to the smell of smoke in hair and clothes and in pubs.
That is the strange cravings...
*I agree with the ice
*raw tubular spaghetti noodles
*coke
*porridge
*perogies
That is all I can think of for the moment, now I will go stick my head in the ground because I feel like a freak, I can't wait until the weird cravings go away.
Some of those are just plain weird! More so to me, coz I've had none and no food adversions.........
I was only pg for a few weeks but had major cravings for lasagne from a particular restaurant.
creamed corn on top of vegemite - that is gross!!! LOL I haven't had any wierd ones, I am not really into food at all this time around, hate the thought of anything! My biggest craving this PG has been solo early on which has now matured to coke! Id on't normally drink that much soft drink, but I haven't been able to get enough of it!!
The milk one seems pretty common, I wonder if there is a reason for it
I drink 3 litres of milk every 2 days, maybe we drink it in preperation for breastfeeding as all our calcium goes to our breast milk and we lose bone density until we stop breastfeeding?
I love my milk but have had no other cravings.
Although, I went to the markets yesterday and they had a stall there selling corn on the cob. Had to get me one of those suckers! With butter and garlic salt...yummo! Have been fanging for another one ever since. They just don't taste the same when I do them at home.
in the first trimester I went off most foods...could only stomach fruit, salads and cereal
second trimester I've been craving heavier foods
cakes
lollies
chocolate (love a spoonful of nutella)
biscuits (especially Arnotts Venetians :o )
Gaytime icecreams (but I've always been addicted to them)
I try to go easy on the not-so-healthy foods
cheezels and popcorn...but the popcorn in the plastic bags at the video store
also baked potatos with baked beans and cheese, cottage cheese and spinach on toast, spagetti napoletana with fresh basil (yum), mashed potatos, creamy pastas, homemade pancakes, bananas, seedless grapes
my oh my I've made myself hungry :D
With DD:
* Passionfruit
* lettuce
* mangoes
* smarties
* milky ways
* ice
* apples-mainly for m/s
This time:
* passion fruit
* mangoes
* Pineapple lumps (the choc lollies)
* pizza
I think I have the same amount of aversions as cravings. I HATE the smell of diesel fumes. If I am driving along behind a truck I have to put it on re-circulate cos it makes me gag. Cigarette smoke, ladies perfume, fried food, and petrol fumes all make me gag as well.
I am enjoying milk at the moment, and have the occasional urge for pineapple (normally when there is none in the house). I am not a chocoholic, but have had periodic cravings (and binges;)) for chocolate. I love raw peas and potato - peeled of course. I kind of just go with the craving when I have it. If I want butter on my toast (which I haven't had for years) then I would just allow it. I figure as long as you don't get carried away it is probably what the body and bubs wants.
with makon
i craved Salt so i had salty mash spuds with bacon and gravy!! mmmmm
last week i was craving chicken schnitzel parmi!! i had 5 in 7 days:redface: but it cured me.
I was telling Bec before, well more like asking when the weird cravings start.
Well since yesterday I have had an urge to have Doritos and Ice-cream, together.
Just wondering if any of you other lovelies out there have experienced anything like this early on??
LOL Tamara! That is gross! hehehe.
Nah, fortunately mine have been fairly normal - apples (helped when the m/s was bad and i didn't feel like eating anything), hot chocolates, and a really BAD one for McDonalds fries!! Can't get enough of them, I think about them all the time! Funnily enough though, I've gone right off their burgers, can't eat them.
Early on with my DD it was fruit juice, fruit and milo and chocolate - which was weird for me cause I NEVER used to like chocolate, not much of a sweet tooth. This time I can't stand it.
So are you going to try it?? Go on!! LOL!
**ETA I just noticed you guys are calling your bub Bubble too! Too cute.
In previous pregnancies I have craved machine ICE! As bad as going to subway to buy a drink and filling the cup with ice first then adding the drink LOL!
Yep I've had ice with both pgs and am waiting for it to kick in for this one too.
Fortunately nothing as weird as your combo Tam!
