I'm craving a banana split with nuts. I don't even really care for nuts. Our snowball stand doesn't open until 1pm. So I asked my husband to stop at Mcdonalds and get me a hot fudge sundae with the nut packet and when he gets home I'm going to cut up a banana and put some cool whip on top. What do you crave? and do you eat what you crave? I know some people will eat cereal when they crave something sweet so they don't gain too much weight. Me I don't watch my weight while I'm pregnant b/c its the only time I'm not on a diet. I eat whatever I want. The doctor said I was healthy so they are not worried and I gained 60 lbs total with my last pregnancy.

I'm 9 months pregnant and I usually crave ice cream lately. In the beginning of my pregnancy though I craved fruits and berries. Typically I eat what I crave, because like you it is the only time I am not on a diet and my doctor is not concerned about weight gain as I've only gained 22lbs this pregnancy.

Thats good that your doing well with your weight. I craved fruits and pickles when I was first pregnant. I think if you can eat what you want while your pregnant you should. Some people try and starve theirselves so they don't gain too much weight while pregnant.

Being almost 6 months pregnant...I love this question. With my 2 children now, I have a craving for watermelon,and chocolate. Now with my third on it's way, I crave almost anything I see. Last week, Sunday night, hubby and I were in our jammies watching tv. Well, I saw a thing on the Food Channel about Cinnabon. That was it, I had to have one. Now we don't have any nearby, but after some smiles and reminding hubby of me being pregnant, he got dress and went to our local supermarket and got me the Entamens Cinnamon Rolls. They were so yummy. Now, for the past few days, I am DYING for a glazed Krispy Kreme. The closest on is 50 miles away in New York. I have a friend who works in the city so this Firday she is going to pick up a dozen for me. My taste for food has changed, like last week, I just "had to have" a can of pork and beans.Normally, gross, but I loved it. Have you seen that new show "Notes From The Underbelly" a very cute show, it is on tonight.

yum I love hot glazed krispy kremes. We have 2 about 20 minutes away but we rarely go there. I could probably eat a whole dozen by myself if they are hot with a glass of cold chocolate milk. Pork and beans are so good if they are cooked right. Do you eat them out of the can? or do you add stuff to them? I try not to watch the food channel unless I have food with me while watching b/c I'm like you I see it I start wanting to taste it.

Oh how I miss being pregnant! When I was pregnant last year I craved fruit, cheese, and dairy. I couldn't get enough cheese, yogurt, or milk. Towards the end I also had to have a sno cone every day. I would go to great lengths to make sure I got my sno cone each day, lol! It was so much fun being able to eat anything and everything I wanted whenever I wanted it. I never passed up a second helping or dessert after a meal. I did gain 50 lbs. though and have had a heck of a time losing it.

I'm just starting into this pregnancy but I seem to be having a similar craving as I did with my first born. With him I wanted shrimp and crab. So far I want that and have been having dreams of walking through a buffet to eat things like shrimp,crab legs, crab puffs,lobster and crawfish too.I usually hate any kind of seafood except for tuna and popcorn shrimp any other time.I eat what I crave as long as it's safe to eat while pregnant. There's probably some trace mineral or something so why not? I do stay away from tuna while pregnant along with all the other stuff they have told me to stay away from...eggs that are sunny side up, soft boiled,raw, uncooked fish and meats (like cold cuts...but I'll eat them if they're cooked some first), shark and other predatory fish, hot dogs with nitrates (the red coloring),all that stuff.

I'm in my third month and I craved for a number of different things. The weirdest one was fried banana critters(a native delicacy here in our country which you could buy on the sidewalks). It was 10pm and they were only sold during the afternoons. My husband was worried because I wouldn't eat anything else. I was even surprised because I started to cry out of frustration because I knew it wasn't available at that time. So what my husband did, he went to the night market and bought a bunch of bananas and then fried them at home. after all his hard work, I didn't eat them because I wanted the ones specifically bought at the sidewalk. Lol! So i ended up not eating dinner that night. Why is it so depressing when a pregnant woman can't get her craving?
