I love posting questions because I like to learn things about other people. As most of you know I just found out I am pregnant again and my hubby was picking on me about those weird pregnancy cravings coming back. When I was pregnant with my son, my cravings were grape kool-aid and sloppy joes. I also had a thing for cheese sandwhiches. Not grilled cheese, I mean bread, mayo, and cheese. That's it.
So, my question of the day is:
What were your pregnancy cravings??????
I am dying to hear some of these concoctions!

With my son I craved fresh fruits and salads and Taco Bell. With my daughter I didn't crave anything because for 8 months I couldn't keep anything down!!! Let's hope that's not in your case ;)

OMG Kim....It was my case
OMG Kim....It was my case for the first 6 and a half months with my son. My doctor was getting a little upset because I was loosing weight. He had to prescribe a special medication that they use for nausea in cancer patients for me because it was the only thing that helped. It was awful. So I am with you in hoping that it isn't the case with this one! Keep me in your prayers....LOL

Oh I definitely will!!!
Oh I definitely will!!! With my son, my pregnancy was a breeze. I got sick like twice, with my daughter I would eat like 10X a day in bites of two to make sure I had stuff in my tummy and didn't get sick. Plus her dad had an extremely weak stomach so everytime I got sick so did he lol...She couldn't come fast enough lol...

With my first it was Ben and
With my first it was Ben and Jerry's Chocolate Fudge Brownie Frozen Yogurt. I did not share with my husband, no way, no how. He had to get his own pint. :)
With my second it was macaroni and cheese with hotdogs cut up in it, cereal mixed with yogurt (still crave that every day), split pea soup (again, every day still, so random).
Food just tasted soooo good when I was pregnant, and really, no guilt.

I craved Mexican food and
I craved Mexican food and couldn't stand the smell, looks, or thought of chicken. I'm still not a big fan of it since then. I also couldn't stand bacon or the smell of it. Funny thing is my daughter loves bacon and Mexican food. She could either take or leave chicken.
I absolutely love Lemonade,
I absolutely love Lemonade, however with my son and daughter I just could not manage to keep it down. And with my current pregnancy I am the same way, maybe it is the acidity?? But my 2 kids really don't care for it either. Strange!?!?
Some cravings that I have been having is melon (watermelon, honeydew, cantaloupe) with yogurt. And also PB & J sandwiches!!
Ready for this: Green
Ready for this: Green onions!!! Raw, cooked, boiled, inside out, in my hair, however!!! My daughter didn't come out green but she loves onions.

Mine were fruit and meat &
Mine were fruit and meat & Einstein's Bagels - for some reason it had to be from there.
For the first 7 months I couldn't eat anything sweet without feeling sick. The funny part was that two weeks before I found out I was pregnant I was craving brownies like crazy. My friends all made fun of me because wherever we went I always checked to see if they had brownies.
I loved pizza, any kind
I loved pizza, any kind frozen or from anywhere. I still do. Pepperoni pizza yum. I could not eat or smell Taco bell still can't sometimes. Pickles but I like those anyways and hot cauliflower in the jar YUM! My mouth is watering now.

just~me
I didn't have any specific
I didn't have any specific cravings, just massive hunger......I wanted to make sure all calories coming in were good ones to feed the baby, though, so I followed a fairly strict diet.....no fried foods, no sweets, just a whole lot of everything else...but I did have some very specifc aversions...........any Mexican food with Mexican oregano made me ill. I love fresh salsa and I could not stand to be around it while pregnant.
Well at first it was white
Well at first it was white cherries...had to have them every night...good thing they were in season. My poor husband had to go to the store every evening on his way home from work to buy me some...it didn't matter how many he bought I would eat them all.
I have never, ever liked hot dogs...well that was my second craving my husband cringed every time I ate one, because he knew that was one food I couldn't stand.Then before I could get ready for work I had to either eat waffles with honey or toast with honey.And lastly...I was a nanny at that time and these sisters loved to eat plain pringles with ketchup.......and yes I became hooked.
The only craving I really
The only craving I really had was Peanut M&Ms. I think I probably ate 4 lbs a week - luckily, I only gained 25 lbs the whole pregnancy :)

I craved lots and lots of ice, and coconut (ie) macaroons, and almond joy. It was crazy. For the first 6 months I could barely eat anything though since I was throwing up most of the time.
