What did you crave when you were pregnant...

[Helopoh]

Since so many people I know are pregnant not only here on the DIS but locally...(Is there something in the water?) I wondered what you craved? I didn't crave anything gross but I did Crave Hostess Cupcakes with the little white swirls and Orange Juice. I bought a pack when I was in the gas station earlier and DH just gave me a strange look when I was eating them that made me laugh and think of what others crave.

[aahmom1]

Nothing with #1
Mustard with #2
Toothpaste with #3

 

[AmyA]

Spicy hot cheetos w/ #1 (can't stand them usually )
Even tho I had a lot more nausea and vomiting w/ #2, still craved hot wings---had to have them almost everyday!?!

aahmom (this is a serious question, I truly am curious)--how did you deal w/ a toothpaste craving? Did you brush your teeth a lot, or just have to suffer w/ a terrible pregnancy craving?

I hated my pregnancy cravings, when I had one it was all I could think about.

Severe nausea and vomiting with both #1 and #2, but craved
pizza and pretzels with #1 and PEPSI with #2.

When we stayed at the Wilderness Lodge last week, I'm telling ya, I've never seen so many pregnant women at the same resort at the same time before!

With DS#1, I didn't really crave anything.

With DS#2, I craved nacho chips and salsa!

with my son I had to have a pizza for me and a pizza for dear hubby every Sunday night.....he was in Sicily during six of my months of pregnancy.....for my daughter I had to have Pistachios....I still love pistachios and pizza.....yummy

Pineapple, and chili cheese burritos from Taco Bell (thank goodness not together). I used to buy the 6 lb restaurant sized cans of pineapple from Sam's Club!

aahmom (this is a serious question, I truly am curious)--how did you deal w/ a toothpaste craving? Did you brush your teeth a lot, or just have to suffer w/ a terrible pregnancy craving?

At first I brushed my teeth constantly, seriously I couldn't get enough of the taste of the toothpaste, then I found gum that tasted like the toothpaste so for the rest of the pregnancy I chewed the gum constantly. As soon as I had her I popped a piece of the gum in my mouth and it tasted so BAD, I couldn't figure out how I managed to chew it all the time. LOL

Sandwiches, any kind!

 

[Kitty 34]

Tostados from Taco Bell, Orange Pop and mainly crushed ice!!

 

[Lars624]

With my twins I craved apples and green popsicles. My freezer was full of boxes of popsicles with only the green ones missing
&
With my youngest I craved coney dogs and chili fries....pretty much anything I could have put coney sauce on would have done the trick

 

[cinlee3]

With DS #1 I ate a lot of protein
With DS #2 craved Fanta Strawberry from Taco Bueno and BLT's with extra mayonaise
With DD #2 I had to have Wendy's Ceasar salad (two at a time) and in the beginning of my pregnancy Cheetos were the only thing I could keep down.

My main problem when I was pregant was nothing tasted good to drink. I am a Diet Coke and Diet DP addict, but when I was pregnant both tasted really gross. Good thing since they are bad for pregnant women. I was always so frustrated because I would be thirsty and nothing tasted good.

 

[MerryPoppins]

Watermelon, chocolate doughnuts, Mexican food (which would make me sick, but I wanted it anyway!)

 

[luvmydogs]

Tater Tots and lima beans! I couldn't get enough of them. And two of my favorite foods--salsa and spaghetti--I couldn't even look at without gagging. Hormones do strange things, don't they?

 

[antkim]

Because I was SOOO sick I didn't really crave much!The only thing I do remember is having BLT's for about 2 weeks straight for dinner!

With DD it was beef! When we went out to eat I would eat huge hamburgers and nice thick juicy steaks! Normally I am a chickenand pasta person. Very rarely do I order a steak.

Oh, and Cocoa Puffs. I still crave chocolate though!

 

[mtemm]

anything with a red sauce...pizza, pasta, etc. I ended up with a total poultry aversion...hard because I usually eat turkey or chicken. I really enjoyed red meat when I was pregnant, too.

The weirdest craving I had was along the red sauce line. My dh loved this Italian restaurant near us that I HATED. But while pregnant it sounded sooooo good! Anyone know the Chateau in MA? Well, that was it. I though he was going to fall over when I suggested it one night.
