What was your worst (or best) craving? I was reading a discussion about McDonalds and it occurred to me that my BIGGEST pregnancy craving that I gave in to was McDonalds french fries. I would go and get a small fry every day from the time I could eat without getting sick, so approx half of my pregnancy. Those fries were the best, yummy hot crispy salty and greasy - just what the pregnant mommy guidebook would define as the perfect snack!

I've had so many crazy cravings during my pregnancies! I remember sour things with my daughter! With my second daughter I craved chocolate and ice cream and I did crave french fries as well. With my son meat and potatoes - then a week of hot & sour soup from Panda Express! I also craved sweets everyday and bread - and I was never much of a bread eater. Unfortunately that habit kind of stayed with me - trying to let it go :-)

my best friend did that with her pregnancies too, she always had a cup of ice she was slurping on and if that wasnt available she would have the slurpees from 711

When I was pregnant with my son I craved French toast all the time I think we lived on that for months 6 at the most.. I know sounds blah having it all the time but it was like I just couldn't get enough of it nore could my son.. My husband though hates it now.. My son age 9 now won't even touch it or try it... Me I'll keep eating it.. Any time I make it first question is are you pregnant....lol

I got nauseated once, like badly, to the point where I had to run and get sick. The first comment from my husband was if I thought I was pregnant. I told him I didn't think so, but I never get sick, I mean never. I had morning sickness from pregnancy for close to 20 weeks, that was awful.

that's quite interesting, especially how you regulated your consumption of the fries! I guess you might mean a small sized packed of fries instead of one small fry every day! that would be the ultimate in self control, since it's impossible to eat just one fry and stop after that!
i didn't have much cravings, just sometimes when i get hungry, and that was often during the first trimester, I'd want to eat a curry puff. I'm not sure whether you know what that is, but it's a pastry in South east asia that is deep fried and filled with potatoes and chicken in curry sauce. yums - i think its major attraction was that it was hot and very tasty.

Mmmm.. that curry puff sounds yummy! I ate a variety of different foods when I could finally eat again. You are right, I ate a small size serving of french fries, they were on the dollar menu and I could justify one of those a day lol. I'm sure it was the salt along with the texture, I did crave a lot of salty things. I still do from time to time but it is NOTHING like the craving I had during pregnancy. I even tried making my own fries, not the same.

I would have these intense cravings for Chili Cheese Burritos from Taco Bell at 2 in the morning, 3 Muskateers and Salt and Vinegar Potato Chips. Funny thing is I don't even like the Chili Cheese Burritos, go figure!

McDonalds did not always treat me kindly. I was taking my kids to summer school one morning and I was STARVING. I stopped at McDonalds and bought 2 breakfast burritos and hash browns and orange juice and scarfed them down in the car during the drive home. I got sick in my driveway lol!
