What are your current pregnancy cravings?

Q. I have read you can have pregnancy cravings at any point during a pregancny. For some ladies its as early as the first month, others it varies.
With my previous pregnancy- I craved spicy foods & corn dogs off and on..
With my current one, Im craving a ton of dairy products. Cheeses, Yogurts and Milk (of course). Not really into ice cream.

A. I'm 21 weeks along and throughout my pregnancy I've craved anything spicy (although now that the heartburn is starting to kick in I'm trying to nip this one in the butt), sour patch kids, fruit loops OMG fruit loops are awesome lol, those canned green beans with onions and red bell peppers in them and last but not least....turkey, lots of mustard and a ton of pickles sandwhiches. Hehe thats about all I eat all day....My honey is worried that the baby is going to turn out eating nothing but turkey sandwhiches and fruit loops.


How strong are the pregnancy cravings really?
Q. I may be pregnant. I have a doctor's appointment this week to confirm. But I am going crazy craving for sour stuff and a lot of chillies (hot sauces). And I guess I was wondering how strong are the pregnancy cravings really. Can you contain them. Like if you don't give in, do they go away? Or is it in my head?

A. They are very real and very crazy and very strong. Usually they are a bi-product of hormone changes. If you don't give in, then sometimes they go away, sometimes they change or sometimes they don't. You will laugh but with my first pregnancy one day I woke up and I thought I was going to die unless I had a girl scout cookie. The ones made with coconut. Anyway...I crawled across my floor to the phone, called the girl scout office which was 20 or so miles away and made them hold the last box for me while I drove there! Now thats crazy. I have had three kids and only got cravings once. But if you want it go and get it!


When did you start having pregnancy cravings?
Q. Hi ladies!

I am just about halfway through my first pregnancy and have not had a sin-gle craving. Not one! I have heard stories about women in TEARS because their husbands won't go on a 2 am jello run, but I have also read that pregnancy cravings are a complete myth, totally mental, etc etc - what do you think? Did you have specific, unbearable cravings while pregnant? And when did they start? Thanks!

A. I haven't had any. I'm 26 weeks now. I think I may miss that. Honestly though, I believe that a lot of women who have it are making themselves have it. Yes, I think it is a real symptom, but I think a lot of women convince themselves that they must have it so much that they do. Or use it as an excuse. Remember though, real or not, every pregnancy and every woman is different. My cravings are no stronger than they were before I was pregnant. But I really haven't had very many symptoms of pregnancy anyways.
To me, if your craving jello that bad at 2am that you are in tears then get off your damn ass and get it yourself. lol. Your pregnant, not a paraplegic. Which is why I think some women just use it as an excuse to make their husbands go get it. If I'm craving chips, I'll go get them myself. If I don't want to go out to get some then I'm obviously not craving them that much am I?
See now that you mentioned Jello, I want some. I have some in the cupboard but it has to be made. I don't feel like making it right now so I won't. I'm not craving it THAT bad. lol


Ladies,how far along in your pregnancies did you go before you started the typical pregnancy cravings we have?
Q. I just got a positive test result last week, but I already desire nachos and cheese a lot more than I previously cared for. I think I am maybe 1 month, I haven't been to the doctor yet. Can this be pregnancy cravings this soon, or is it all in my head?

A. Yes you can have cravings this early. I didn't have any cravings with my first, They started about 4 months along with my second ( steak and watermelon ). But with this last one it was at about 6 weeks ( Subway ).
