I was just talking with my neice about her pregnancy and the kinds of cravings she is having. She is eating a lot of salad and pickles lately. For my last pregnancy I was a huge fan of mashed potatoes with ketchup piled on them. Has anyone else had weird cravings during pregnancy?

My sister is in her 6th month of pregnancy and has carving for foods rich in carbohydrates..
the down side of this is the abnormal increase in her blood sugar level, now forced to do some dieting and mild insulin dose..
So we need to be careful also while consuming food.. Quality and quantity matters more now..

That's an excellent point. While it is fun to get to eat certain foods that you wouldn't normally eat when your not pregnant, it's also very important to make sure that you're eating healthy for both yourself and the baby. Thanks for the comment.

With one of my children my intense craving was Long John Silvers...couldn't get enough. My weird craving was with my first child...I love to drink a huge glass of chocolate milk while eating French Onion Dip with a spoon. Yes, it's true...I'd eat a small container of the dip with a spoon - no chips involved - and drink cold, delicious chocolate milk. With my fourth, I craved ice. All the time, I wanted to munch on ice. I indulged so often, that the people at the drive-thru window would see me coming and get it ready before I got to the pick-up window. I didn't even have to stop at the speaker anymore to order a cup of ice, I just drove right to the window. I still love to munch ice, like LJS, but the dip and chocolate milk thing? No thank you! Ewwww!!

Wow, that chocolate milk one is pretty strange. But whatever the baby wants, the baby gets, as long as its healthy; that's the way I look at it. Thanks for the response.
