I have been craving past, french fries pretty much just carbs. I couldn't even look at chicken or meat in the beginning, so we ate a lot of pasta.

When I was pregnant with my son, I wanted strawberries all the time! I also wanted to eat Taco Bell about once a week, even though the smell made me sick. lol If I could get it all the way to my mouth, I was fine, it was just before I had the first bite that I had a problem. I did go through a time when I wanted to eat pickles and strawberries together. That was probably the weirdest thing I ate while I was pregnant.

my cravings daily are for crab ragoons and french fries.. not together just throughout the day i will be like "oh i soo need a crab raggoon or mmm i want fries so bad i can taste them" but not like fast food fries like actually homemade cut up potaotes and deep fry them!! the other night for an after dinner snack (LOL) i HAD to have mashed potatoes. so we had dinner.. i cleaned up and then within an hour i made some mashed pottaotes just for me! LOL but nothing weird as of yet that i can recall.. lol

i never really craved anything weird. with my first pregnancy i craved mashed potatoes for awhile. with my second it was macaroni and cheese. with my third i craved meat constantly! my first 2 were girls my third a boy. they say if you crave meat its a boy.

from the moment i found out i was pregnant ive thought this baby was a boy not just my instinct but all the old wives tales pointed to it for instance like the craving red meat with my first (boy) i craved red meat like there was no tomorrow with my second (girl) it was all carbs so im curious to see how the wives tale holds up this time, so far they have always been right!

Good luck with your cravings Princess. From what I've learned, it usually only gets weirder from here. But yea, you should satisfy the cravings, so long as you maintain a healthy regiment :)
