when i was pregnant with my daughter i craved- green apples (had to be green apples) with lime sprinkled on it and salt.... also i loved hot wings and hot stuff when i was pregnant with her.. i also loved taco bell mexican pizzas... and mcdonalds chicken selects with buffalo sauce... also pickles

with my son i hated fast food... i hated hot foods.. i LOVED wheat cereals... i especially hated taco bell with my son..and i hated pickles with him also.. i really didnt crave anything with my son except cereal...

its crazy how different pregnancies can be... can i hear some of ur craving stories while u were pregnant?..

    mexican food

    fried pickles in mustard

    mints, toothpaste, and minty-flavored-things

    root beer floats with chocolate-chip-mint ice cream

    but most of all,

    ICE

    loads and loads of ice

    i used to take peppermint extract and freeze it into ice cubes, then eat it by the tray-full

    and i judged all restaurants and gas stations by the quality of their ice

    Lately, it's been dark chocolate, though I have had a lot more food aversions than cravings along the way. I couldn't stand the smell or sight of meat for several weeks early on.

    I did have a serious french fry craving in my first trimester.

    yeah, i tried not to eat the toothpaste

    much

    i just settled on brushing my teeth a dozen times a day.

    the mint and ice craving traveled through the entirety of both my pregnancies

    i also popped mint-flavored tums like crazy, because I always had heartburn from all the mexican food and mint candy

    mint's okay. I like it.

    However, when I was knocked up, minty stuff is almost all I could think about! (that is, between crying fits, nausea, and utter exhaustion)

    and I never eat ice outside of pregnancy. It hurts my teeth.

    I didn't crave any thing but when I was pregnant with my daughter I could not stand new England clam chowder. I couldn't even watch commercials with it made me want to puke. I really liked it before but oh my when I was pregnant... It took me years before I started eating it again.

    Candied salmon is salmon that is dried out or smoked with some sort of sweet glaze like a bit of honey. So good, I could eat half a salmon this way. Mmmmm.

    and with all 3 - raw lemons eaten like oranges and plain potato chips. I would buy a bag of lemons and just munch on them with potato chips hahaha.

    With all 3 the smell of cooking meat made me feel really ill and my first pregnancy also turned me off Mcdonalds for life lol

    In both my pregnancies I really craved carbs in the first trimester. Couldn't get enough toast and sandwiches! I also craved fruit, but probably because it's refeshing and I was thirsty more. Towards the end of my 1st pregnancy I really wanted sweet things, and all through my 2nd I wanted sweet things. Both times I couldn't stand greasy food.
