during pregnancy what kind of foods do you crave for?

I didn't have gravings with my youngest, just food really tasted so darn good to me. However with my first one it was three things.. Heinz Ketchup, Taco Bell and D Q Peanut Butter cup blizzards.

Hi, Roni...i had 2 pregnancies. My first one I was into japanese food. Specially eel teriyaki or vegetable tempura. My second one, i always looking for hot and spicy food. I know it's not recommended, but I couldn't help it. I put chili on almost every meal that i had.

During her first pregnancy my wife craved peanut butter and banana toasted sandwiches...she claimed that she always loved those but I had never seen her eat one before that and haven't since. During her second pregnancy she was onto ice cream sandwiches.

With my eldest I craved cranberry juice and sweet potatoes. Then with my daughter it was fried clams, cole slaw and tartar sauce. With my youngest son I couldn't get enough beef or mushrooms. Now all of those foods are things I normally like, I just really wanted them frequently while pregnant. This pregnancy has just been weird- I crave wasabi (Japanese radish that's VERY hot) and I don't like wasabi or hot foods in general. Then the other day I had to have green olives. I've never eaten an olive in my life, no idea what they taste like but suddenly I was looking at a pasta salad & thinking I have to get some olives for this. n

With my first born (son) i craved fruit galore! Now he is a HUGE fruit and veggie kid! With my second born (daughter) I craved chocolate and ice cream. Shes only 9 months and istn on much table food right now, but she still loves fruits lol.

Im not sure i really had cravings when i was pregnant with my little girl - it was more things i couldnt eat. Before i was pregnant i loved my cups of tea, wheilst i was pregnant Yuck - couldnt stand the stuff !! Did enjoy eating nectarines, 2 or 3 a day not sure it was a craving tho !

I craved carbs. For a while all I wanted was cheese fries and pasta, though not at the same time.

Sadly, I craved Little Debbie oatmeal cakes....and my shape ended up looking much like a Little Debbie oatmeal cake afterwards!! I basically craved sweets in general, but the oatmeal cakes were the thing I craved most. I tried to eat oatmeal with some sugar in it, but it just wasn't the same!

i have 2 kids i was sick with both of them, i crazed bisquits and gravy with the first and strawberry frozen yougart could'nt get enough... i also eat alot of chicken, and those are my daughters fav foods today... they other one i did'n really crave anything, had heartburn all the time, she came out with a head full of red hair....

i can only share what my friend craved for. Mars bars!! and she was overseas and living some where where she couldn't find them readily. so when they went on holiday her husband bought loads for her. i think they might have stocked up on loads of them just in case she started craving for them back home again. another friend started craving for fruit tarts, and when her husband couldn't find some in the middle of the night, she had a nightmare about them! where she went to a wedding and brought a whole TRAY of fruit tarts to one corner and ate them herself!! haha. your cravings are interesting!

I had cravings when i was pregnant, I had one for creaming soda, which my partner got too, now that was weird!! I also craved these little deep fried chicken chippee things that I got from a takeaway shop and classic chocolate milk! As soon as I had my daughter I hated the milk, which I had hated before I was pregnant and I cant eat the chicken chippees anymore as the oil they are cooked in makes me feel ill! I find this really bizarre that I could love something so much while I was pregnant and then hate it again afterwards!

i craved for cherry tomatoes and pears for my first born child and steak and lamb chops for my second one.

hmmmmm... when i am 1 month pregnant i used to crave for sinigang na hipon.. its a filipino dish, and a crabs... 3 in the morning i used to stay in chowking eating halohalo... i crave for the fruits different type... and a fries from mcdonald lol...

I craved any kind of melon, pineapple, grapes, strawberries, and pear at the begining of my pregnancy and KFC later in my prenancy.

I constantly craved my home made macaroni and cheese. Omgosh! With lots of cheese and broccoli and celery and onions and tomatoes....I mean the works. And then on the top I put bacon slices and tomato slices and bread crumbs. Bake for thirty minutes and of course I made enought o last me all week long. LOL!

To be honest with you, i don't remember craving anything at all. I know i went off of some food for a little while but that was about the extent of it. My partner always cooked a delicious tuna/pasta bake that i loved - with garlic in it but when i was pregnant, i couldn't eat it, even the smell of it made me feel kind of squeemish! Once our daughter came along though, i was happy to eat it again, maybe our daughter just didn't like it!!! We'll have to try her on it now that she's eating normal foods & see if she likes it or not :) I'm sure she will though, she's not at all fussy with foods.

My cravings were not real strong like I hear from other moms. But I did eat a lot more watermelon and drank a lot of iced tea. I am just curious.... with each of your kids, do they really like the food that you craved during your pregnancy with them?

During a healthy pregnancy there is always the craving for foods. And you cannot explain why you like a certain foods or things during this stage. When I first got pregnant I really eat all kinds of fruits and I've noticed I go for dark colored fruits. And I remember I woke up every three in the morning to have the instant Milo drink and mind you I frozen it. But in my 2nd one I'm very picky with foods even with the soap and perfumes or cologne that I use. I changed a lot of bath soap because I feel dizzy with the scent. And don't laugh because this time I craved for white foods. Yap, I ate Siopao, fresh lumpia, young coconut or buko, squidballs as well. An exact opposite with my cravings in my first one. And I don't know if it is somehow connected with what foods you craved during your pregnancy. Because my eldest is fair in complexion or a morena type while my youngest is really having a good white skin. I can even say that she is flawless in every angle.
