I am almost 4 months pregnant now and I am having some crazy crazy cravings! Yesterday during the day I was craving onions. So I eventually caved in and got onion rings!

Then later at night I was craving chocolate!!!!

Last time I was pregnant I would crave spicy foods. I would crave chilli .. and fajita's ..

 

Have you ever had any weird cravings while you were pregnant. If so what did you crave?

With my one daughter I craved strawberries ... I remember almost daily I wanted strawberries. Its funny because she LOVES strawberries to this day .. I told her she made me eat them all the time when I was pregnant!

I crave sweets a lot too .. mostly chocolate! Sometimes peanut butter!

I craved chicken, I hated chicken before I got pregnant. Thats when I knew something was wrong, seriously wrong!!

I also craved Olive Gardens Salad (that would be the only thing I ate there when I went.) I think it was something in the dressing. I even tried buying italian dressing from the grocery store but that didn't cut the mustard.

Well, I have had some strange cravings during pregnancies too , with my first the only thing I could keep down in the morning was pickles. and then I was sick with morning sickness the whole 9 months, for him, the second kid, was grapefruit, I don't know why, I don't even like it, and one was for ham and relish sandwiches and they had to come from a special sandwich shop, my poor husband, I tried making them myself, but not the same, and then I craved pizza for another, I think your body kind of knows what you need, listen to it, enjoy the rewards of cravings in about five months you will be satisfying someone else's cravings, lol. Take care, Dena

Deeanna M. Dec 5, 2007, 4:47pm EST
i craved pizza constantly for several months while i was pregnant. tony's pizza, pizza hut pizza, papa john's pizza, didn't matter as long as it was pizza! lol
Deeanna M. Dec 5, 2007, 4:50pm EST
there were TONS of things that made me feel sick though, the smell of cooking meat, velveeta mac n cheese (i drank grape juice when i ate that and.. let's just say YUCK!), one day i had an apple for breakfast and didn't make it to work cuz i got sick, there were lots of other foods too, and some still do!

When my wife was pregnant I was the one who did the craving. Craved cheese popcorn and often pickles.
Chris E. Dec 5, 2007, 5:02pm EST
With my first I craved chicken salad sandwiches on toasted egg bagels with tomatoes, and Taco Bell bean burritos
My second I craved mangos
My third I craved artichokes especially marrinated artichoke hearts

Lemons, I ate them by the bagful just like you would an orange. My co-workers were so happy when my child was born.

I craved McDonalds with my first baby girl. But I had morning sickness with her for four months, so during that time all I could eat was sprite and crackers.
With my son I craved those pickle flavored potato chips. And I can't stand them when I'm not pregnant. Pregnancy does really wierd stuff with your taste buds.
Also I remember with both of them I could not go around the meat departments of any grocery stores. Just looking at it would make me sick.
Monica H. Dec 5, 2007, 5:11pm EST
I remember craving fried chicken and sliced tomatoes with the last one too. And tomatoes weren't even in season.

Apples, more apples--- It was weird. There were days where I would eat 6-8 apples besides the regular meals...
J R B. Dec 5, 2007, 5:29pm EST
The first one was for pizza. We ordered it. Second one was chocolate cake and dill pickles. I had some crazy mixtures of food.
Danielle P. Dec 5, 2007, 5:50pm EST
With my second pregnancy I craved Ny Italian Ice and Nathan's knishes.
The bad news was that I lived in PA at the time!!!

I did have a friend that froze the knishes and shipped them to me.

No cravings when I was pregnant, but now . . .

Nothing really wierd...mainly hot stuff. I couldn't each much during my last pregnancy. I lost a good amount of weight and then gained it back after giving birth.

I have not been pregnant yet, but my mom craved Kentucky Fried Chicken and Chinese food
Heather W. Dec 5, 2007, 7:01pm EST
In my first few months I craved Big Macs, and I hate Big Macs. I craved french fries with cheese sauce on them too. I made my husband go to the truckstop at midnight to get me some. The last month I craved strawberries. I ate so many I got sick.
Janet H. Dec 5, 2007, 8:05pm EST
I have cravings and I'm not even pregnant.

My biggest craving was Captain Crunch. I would eat it right out of the box.
necee t. Dec 6, 2007, 12:33am EST
mostly ice cream... no pickles...

With my last son, my wife made me crazy with her cravings. It seemed like it was always late at night and always something that we didn't have in the house.

My day started at 4:00 AM and I remember many trips to Dairy Mart at midnight to get ice cream or buttermilk or donuts, etc.. I remember wishing it would be pickles because there were three different kinds in the fridge.

My oldest I wanted either Big Mac's or pizza. It had to be the Hawaiian Pizza, with pineapple and ham. I would get heartburn from hell from it, but I had to have it. My co-workers told me the baby was going to look like a pizza when she was born.

My second child I always ate pretzels and french onion dip. It was a staple in my house.
Dena A. Dec 7, 2007, 4:06pm EST
LOL .. its funny the things we crave when we are pregnant! :)

I have a lot of morning sickness too and it is funny a lot of foods make me sick. Just the smell .. or even the thought of certain foods make me sick!

Or trying to go grocery shopping .. now thats a nightmare! All the smells in one place .. morning sickness kicks in overtime!
Dena A. Dec 7, 2007, 4:07pm EST
Jimmy I crave a lot of ice cream .. yogurt .. and sweets too!
Whitney A. Dec 7, 2007, 9:03pm EST
I crave a lot of different things right now. One of the things I crave most is cheese fries with jalapenos. I also crave chocolate a lot. Not very healthy cravings, but what can I do.
Jillian S. Dec 10, 2007, 6:03pm EST
I didn't really have too many cravings, but there were a lot of things i ate that i normally don't like.. Onions, Mushrooms, tomatoes, olives... and they didn't bother me at all.. it was weird..
Leslie "Missy" T. Dec 10, 2007, 6:34pm EST
My oldest child I craved taco bell and greenbeans. I had to have a meximelt everyday with greenbeans. Plus I ate so many oreos!
Leslie "Missy" T. Dec 10, 2007, 6:35pm EST
My middle child I craved watermelon with nacho cheese and salsa on top. Now I say gross, but then I had to have it.
Leslie "Missy" T. Dec 10, 2007, 6:35pm EST
My youngest child I craved peanut butter and onion sandwiches.
donna c. Dec 10, 2007, 6:38pm EST

I said It's soooo goood just take a bite of pickle and chase it with the milk....hahaha..melissa my daughter can eat a whole large jug of dill pickles by herself....even now

Hot wings! The hotter the better!

Then I went thru a phase were I wanted Olive milkshakes.
SERIOUSLY!!

People use to give me the wierdest looks when I went to the ice cream shop and ordered them.. My husband couldnt stand to even watch me eat it.

But hey, at the time it was great.

Now you couldnt pay me to eat one!! lol
Heather A. Jan 31, 2008, 4:50pm EST
Fresh fruit!!!!!! I am six months pregnant and could live on pineapple, strawberries, etc. I ran apples through my salad shooter the other night to put into waffles, because I've been making my husband make breakfast for dinner 3-4 times a week, lol. So far, my strangest craving has been tuna fish spread on apple slices, YUM!!!!
Also, peanut butterand jelly snadwiches fried like a grilled cheese. Sometimes I put provalone or munster cheese between the PB & J. Delicious!!!!!!!!!!
Don't feel bad or weird about any of the cravings, most of the time you crave something because it contains something your body is lacking. Plus, your pregnant, it's the ultimate excuse for everything. LOL.
Congratualatioins and good luck!
