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 ).
Is it possible to prevent pregnancy cravings?
Q. I have the oddest cravings that strike me at really annoying times. For example I woke up at 3am craving goat cheese souffles .... Not exactly something I just had on hand! Another odd one was my extreme craving for a breakfast quiche at 9pm as I was turning in for the night. Since I can rarely satisfy my pregnancy cravings is there a way to just prevent them??
A. Pregnancy cravings are there for a reason, it means your body needs something that's in the food you want. So in theory, the only way to avoid it is to make sure you're getting enough nutrients.
What Were Some Of Your Pregnancy Cravings?
Q. My friend has been having some really weird pregnancy cravings eg. smoked oysters, sushi, mango gelato and cherry ripes :P What are or were some of your cravings if you had them?
A. At first it was fruit.The more sweet it was the better. Then it was pb&j sandwiches. I could eat them breakfast, lunch, and dinner everyday. Now that winter has hit, ironically, its slurpies. The other night i woke up around 2am wanting one sooo bad that i whipped out my blender and tried making one with ice, sugar, and a kool-aid packet since the gas station was closed lol.
Am I the only one who has normal pregnancy cravings?
Q. I know people who have outrageous pregnancy cravings like pickles and ice cream, matches, clay and junk like that (my aunt actually ATE some of that whack stuff cuz she had a deficiency!) But my cravings are healthy like raspberries, fruits and vegetables, low on meat, but cheese and yogurt are great...anyone else ahve normal cravings?
A. Mine have all thankfully been food cravings. With my first pregnancy I couldn't get enough fruit smoothies. Never really fancied them before getting pregnant, but I ended up buying a Magic Bullet because I would have at least one per day. When you crave something like fruit, why fight it, right?
With my second pregnancy, my cravings haven't all been so healthy. I'm craving fruit again - this time it's mostly raspberries and blueberries which I'll buy frozen and not even wait for them to thaw completely before eating, jelly beans, and the occasional chocolate (I generally don't crave chocolate so it's a bit weird for me!). I've also craved cinnamon raisin bread and can go through a loaf on my own in less than a week if I'm not careful!
