I would like to hear all the fun cravings everyone had when they were pregnant and if you are pregnant what you are craving!!!For my first I wanted Wendys burgers and grape nut ice cream. For my second I wanted pickles and Tuna sandwiches...and I hated tuna and now I'm not much of a fan, and towards the end I wanted ice...all the time. It is crazy what your body wants when you are pregnant!

I always craved spicy food and still do. I loveed to eat tacos, burritos and chili. i also craved to eat dill pickles but i have always like them and still eat those too. My daughter that I gave birth to loves all of the food I ate when I was pregnant with her also.

Same here. I went in on February 14th with false labor and they sent me home. 2 days later my water broke and I went to the hospital and laid there in pain for 15 long hours until she finally decided she was ready to come out. They even took me down to see if they needed to do a c-section. I would never go through the pain ever again. I can't now anyways because I had a hysterectomy.

I love spicy food. It was funny during the last few weeks of pregnancy of my last I was trying to induce her so I ate spicy foods all the time...I also played baseball one night with my husband to try to get her to come out...nothing...she waited till the last possible moment, It was horrible...I really don't think I would want to go through pregnancy again.

Good god. Cravings were terrible on me. I should have bought stocks in the dole company when I was pregnant. I would seriously eat a whole family size can of pineapple two or three times a day! The worst part was that I was borderline diabetic at the time so when I did that I'd almost always fall asleep right afterwards. It was terrible, but I just wanted pineapple all the time! It's funny, because all my friends now who are having girls seem to be craving pineapple. Maybe it's something to do with being pregnant with a girl. There could be a connection there! You never know, right?

You never do know I didn't have a craving for pineapple and both of mine were girls but it just could be different areas....could be something in the food your body needs.

Well i am pregnant right now with my second. For the first kid, i always craved KFc, and i remembered today while talking to my friend, that i craved chilli with dorito's dipped in there. haha mm that was good. And this pregnancy, i just want any kind of greasy junk food. but its not really cravings, i just always wanna eat junk. First pregnancy i gained over 60 lbs, this time i've only gained 15 or so. Which is AWESOME. And i've only got 7ish weeks left. WOO. i'm done being pregnant now k thanks!
Do you plan to have more ? I think i'm getting my tubes burnt when i have my c section. I think two is enough for me!

Well thats cool. I too with my second wanted my tubes tied but i was 25 so they told me I was too young and they talked me out of it. Last year my hubby went to ontario for 2 months and when he came back he wanted another child...we have since then changed our minds again. So now I am on depo and we are just playing everything by ear. I don't think we will have another I have 2 and he has an older child that is here all the time so our house is very busy. PLUS kids are expensive!!!!

I became a pickle freak. I have always hated pickles but when I was pregenant (4 times) I would have my husband buy me a gallon jar of pickles. I also had a craving for ice cream and tuna and shrimp. I also wanted Mcdonalds and Taco Bueno. It may not be the weirdest but I did become a fast food aholic lol.

Mine are for curry puffs! I'm not sure whether you know what these are... they are a local south east asian snack. I have been sorta craving for them for a week now. And fortunately I have been able to satisfy these cravings quite speedily!
A pregnant craving mum who does not get her desired food is not a happy lady!
It's just the warm curry soaked little potato cubes ensconced in a warm thick pastry puff with chicken bits and boiled egg bits that is sooooo hearty and comforting. oh dear. I feel like eating one now - and I just had breakfast! :)

I don't think I had cravings too much while I was pregnant. In fact, my husband seemed to be the one who got the cravings instead (seriously)! Sympathy symptoms, I guess. I think I just liked to eat in general. :) By the way, I heard that craving ice chips is a sign that you could have low iron.

its funny, my sense of smell became so sensitive that even the smell of my husband whether he bathe or not, i hate it, to the point i dont want to sleep beside him.
i also hated the smell of the powders whatever the type of it
