Pregnancy Cravings or Aversions - did you have them?

When I was pregnant, I didn't crave anything. I ate basically the same things almost every day, not because I was craving them, but because it was the only food that didn't make me feel sick. I had a lot of noodle soup, and tons of veggies.
Even though I didn't crave anything, I had many Food Aversions. An aversion is something that you don't want! I did not want tomatoes or anything with tomatoes the entire 9 months. I couldn't go near a bowl of pasta and sauce and pizza was a no-no. The mere smell of tomato sauce made me feel ill.
So while I had no cravings, I was still a picky eater because there were a lot of things I couldn't stand to eat. How about you? Did you have any cravings? Or did you have Aversions? Or did you have both?

I had a few different things with my kids. My first kid I had a craving for Big Mac's and tomatoe and mayonaise sandwiches. That is all I could keep down for the first 3 months. Then after those 3 months I could eat almost anything but pizza. Could not even look at it. With my other two kids I didn't have as much of a problem but I did crave slurpee's. Of all the things to crave I have no clue why those. And in the middle of winter, it was a chore for my husband to find me them as we live in a small town and they do not always have the machines going.
