Am on the family way and I am craving fried fish. I don't want to eat anything except that. Am driving my husband crazy with it. My first pregnancy, I wanted to eat Chinese food all the time until my husband told me his been chinesed out. But I noticed that my husband got sympathy cravings too. He is eating lots of ice cream on both pregnancies. What about you....did you had any cravings at all?

It is so funny how cravings when you are pregnant are so very strong. I craved french fries with my oldest and strawberrys with my youngest. I was pregnant in winter so it was hard to get strawberries and they were so expensive. I thought I had to have them though so my husband contacted a local store and had them order a case for me every 2 weeks. I think he either loved me alot or he got tired of hearing me ask for them. LOL

Cravings... it is all normal at the start of the pregnancy as you know. But not all pregnancies everyone has cravings. My first i wanted to eat "hotdog waffle"at 12 midnight but all the stores are already close at that hour and i dont want to make it myself; when my husband and i went out the fallowing day, i dont want to eat it anymore. My 2nd pregancy, i didnt have any cravings, all though she was so different when she was still in my stomach as she keeps kicking my belly. Good luck for the 2nd one and i am excited for you, i always wanted another baby;-)

These type of cravings take place only during the first trimester of pregnancy. Nothing to worry about if the food craved for is healthy for both mom and baby. Always remember though that the mind is above the heart. The brain must be able to overrule your cravings if you will it. Let your willpower take hold the better of you and you will overcome it. But if you find it amusing to see your husband cope with your cute demands, go ahead and have fun. After all, during delivery you alone shall through the extreme pains and no one can help you with that.

corn on the cob - corn on the cob with butter & a sprinkle of salt
The first craving I had is corn on the cob, we have 2 canned corns in oure kitchen but I insisted my husband that we look for corn on the cob. He just laughed and said OK. Plus I'm always wanting chocolates, ice creams and cakes, but I just opted to eat apples, grapes and oranges instead.

I used to eat green seedless grapes with ranch dressing.. it was so good but people would look at me funny. I also went trough stages in my pregnacy where at first I couldn't eat pizza or smell it or anything and then it was anything to do with beef. So I couldn't eat spagetti or hamburgers or anything like that.

This is my first pregnancy. Just about into my second trimester. I have been craving lemonade alot. I'm also craving sandwiches with lots of mustard....I usually dont like mustard too LOL Things that I used to love to eat, I don't even want anymore. It's so weird. I haven't had any weird late night cravings yet though. I haven't been craving any junk/fast food that I would normally eat...which is good, I want to eat fruits and veggies alot.

i was so sick when i was pregnant that i barely ate anything for the first 5 months. i was even put on medication to stop throuing up because i lost 15 pounds in my first 3 months of being pregnant. after that though the only thing i craved was slushies. frozen drinks. not sure why that. it's just water and sugar. anyway didn't have much time to crave anything else i delivered 3 months early so there wasn't much time after the not eating for 5 months to crave anything before i delivered.

During my first pregnancy I craved any potato products, I used to have chips for lunch and mashed potato for dinner and eat crisps in between (really healthy!). I also craved watercress. During my second pregnancy I craved noodles.
