I don't have any food stories for this pregnancy as of yet, but my last pregnancy...
I didn't eat one day till like 3pm-4pm after my OB/GYN pregnancy appt and I was extremely hungry and felt like I was starving.
We stopped at a Mc Donalds and I said, "I know what I want," smiling.
My man told me to order first, but I was embarrassed, so I said, "You first,"
So, he ordered his meal.
I order a DOUBLE Quarter Pounder Large Meal and a Double Cheeseburger. MY man looked at me and said,
"God, honey, enough food?,"
I about balled and cried when he said that and he responded,
"Just joking," and I just smiled, but if he was serious, I probably would have dog out smacked him across the face.
After eating, I told him,
"I'm full!!!," with a belch. He said,
"Ready to go?,"
I said ,"yea, smiling," and said,
"Can I get some chocolate chip cookies?,"
He responded, "Maybe next time,"
So I said, OK, we walked out the door.
When we got in the car, I said,
"Are you gonna eat that cheeseburger?," left over from his two cheeseburger meal.
He said, "No, you can save it for the baby,"
And, I said, I think I'm still a little hungry, so I ate it.
A total of what I ate,
A large fry, A large Sprite, A Double Quarter Pounder, A Double Cheeseburger, and a Cheeseburger.
I STILL cannot believe I ate ALL that while pregnant! My mom laughed when I told her the story and said, "God, enough cheeseburgers!!!"
So, now, your turn.... share your stories.. No embarrassment here.. Or perhaps, your wife or girl friend's story?
I kinda eat a lot or most of the food in the house when I was pregnant. Not sure why, but I have such an increased appetite, as for previously before being pregnant, I'd eat maybe once a day.

with my second, grapefruit, which I am really not that fond of, became an necessary thing first thing in the morning
with my third, I wanted ham salad sandwiches but they had to be from a certain sandwich shop, and my husband did a lot of running, tried making it myself, but they wouldn't stay down, (this stuff is all in your head you know)
with my fourth, I ate very healthy food, still morning sickness the whole nine months, but then okay the rest of the day. I never gained a lot of weight with any of my babies, and didn't like an overstuffed feeling. They were all fine and good weight
Eat what y ou want Michelle. be happy
Lately, I've been craving fruit, veggies, OJ, sor/sweet stuff, meat and cheese, and chocolate chip brownies. LOL
i only had one child,a son....first thing i craved was citrus...i ate bags full of oranges and grapefruit....cravings indicate your body is lacking in certain nutrients....obviously i was lacking vit.C.......the only other thing i craved later on was Chinese food....broccoli beef and sweet n' sour prawns on sticky rice....
i left 2 links for you to check out from places in Franklin in response to your comment left on my article here:

Seriously!
I use to go to the local ice cream barn and they would make them for me as long as I brought them some olives.
People use to look at me like I was crazy, But I really wanted the salty sweetness.
But I remember when I was 13 and my mother was pregnant with her 4th, my youngest sister. I loved her being pregnant because every night around 7:30 or 8 p.m. we had to run to get her an ice cream cone or ice cream sundae. That's when I discovered raspberry ice cream. Yum. Sure was glad my mother craved ice cream every night. :-)
I am short and people always said "You're carrying that baby so low." as if I was being careless, or about to drop it. I finally said to someone. "Of course it's low. I don't HAVE high!" It was embarrassing to be six months pregnant and have people think I was due any day. There was no place to go but out.
With my second, it was mexican food. I couldn't eat enough with this one. I was always hungry!
I didn't eat anything different than I eat now when I was pregnant. I guess I'm boring like that. LOL
i guess i still do... hehe...
After they all were born I craved pineapple juice.
I haven't had any really weird cravings but I really do want tater tots with cheese.. ALL THE TIME.. and I could eat pizza every day. (I could before pregnancy too.. heh..). I also could eat cheese all the time.. or put it on everything.
I have a few food adversions here and there.. stuff I would have all the time, now I don't want.
I do find myself seeing things either on tv or in the store.. and going.. oh I could eat that.. or Oh.. I really want that.. I do that all the time. My Bf just laughs at me.
When I was pregnant with my second daughter, I craved menudo!!! (It's a Mexican specialty made with hominy). Anyway, my mother-in-law( God rest her soul) decided she would make this just for me.
I sat at her table and relished eating this delicious dish!!! Halfway thru it, baby decided she didn't like this stranger and I made the quickest exit to the bathroom that I could!!! Since then, which is about 26 yrs, I haven't touched it!!!!! How sad is that?????
My hubby keeps teasing me by saying, "Babe, if you eat menudo, I will drink your brown water!!!" (His terminology for my decaf)
