I always craved steak in my first trimester. Then the second and third all I wanted to drink was apple juice. I would literally get up in the middle of the night and chug a big glass of juice! Its a wonder I wasn't diabetic from all that sugar!
How about you? What did you crave?
I am currently not preggo (at least not yet) but definitely my partner and I are planning.
I HAD to have donuts....long johns with chocolate frosting! They also had to be from Jewel! LOL
I also ate a TON of bread and cheese! HA! It's no wonder I gained 70 pounds!
I also could not eat meat. It made me gag and throw up! Which is so weird because I love meat!
When I was pregnant with my first son, it was PB&J for 3 months, no kidding.
Cereal! I ate a bowl every. Single. Day. After work! Granted I do still love cereal, but I don’t need it every day. Lol!
Hot sauce! On everything! Lol! Didn’t help the heartburn issue much either.
Dark Chocolate! I had to have it all day long! I worked with a man at the time I was pregnant who's mother used to work for Hershey. She said eating chocolate while pregnant made for a happy baby.
hahahaha... ohhhh myy those heartburn are not pretty.
Hot sauce! On everything! Lol! Didn’t help the heartburn issue much either.
This is such a fun topic. I love hearing the bizarre craving stories. During my first pregnancy, I would crave chocolate milk and I don't like milk all that much. I crave alot of orange juice and crave lots of taco bells and i would always want Doritos.
I don't remember craving anything specific.. just wanting to eat all the time! And everything tasted SOOOO good. It was really strange, like my tastebuds were enhanced or something. I did have heartburn really bad too, mainly because I ate everything in sight. LOL!
Becky, I don't remember any specific foods either, just being hungry. HA! I did want Pepsi all the time though so that was a tough one for me. I tried the caffeine free Pepsi but it really didn't taste the same to me.
I don't remember craving anything specific.. just wanting to eat all the time! And everything tasted SOOOO good. It was really strange, like my tastebuds were enhanced or something. I did have heartburn really bad too, mainly because I ate everything in sight. LOL!
I never ate yogurt or cheese by itself until my first pregnancy. That’s all I wanted to eat was cheese and yogurt. Not a crazy craving but something my taste buds never enjoyed before and I still like them today.
I craved everything that was really sour! Especially sour skittles (do they even still make those?). If I went to a store that didn't have the sour skittles I would either get a lemon or a grapefruit. Those were the only 3 things that would suffice the sour urge! I know they say some cravings were a sign of something that your body was lacking but I couldn't find out what sour things were!
Oh Jessie! That's an interesting one! Do you still crave sour things? Mine was just candy, all the time. But I have always had a sweet tooth and still do. Curious if any of you still crave or just indulge in what you wanted while you were pregnant?
Oranges for me... I ate a whole bag of Cuties in a day... and regretted it shortly afterwards! I have never eaten another orange since. Or anything orange flavored. LOL
While I was pregnant with my son, I was craving hot chicken wings at 1am . It was really funny that my husband had to drive around town and tried to look for some.
I’ve been craving lots of sweets. I love candy and pastries as it is but that’s all I want to eat now that I am pregnant. I ate a whole bag of Carmel candy the other day.
Me too!! Cereal!!! I couldn’t get enough of it! There were a few times I had it for breakfast, lunch, and dinner haha Hamburgers were also a big crave, oh and the fries! Nice salty, crispy fries! I would have to order out and this one place we ordered from you could order online, so when I made the order there was a section for “special notes” so every single time I would put “crispy fries please!” Lol
My first, grilled cheese and chocolate milk. This time? Meat!

Pixie sticks! I don't like them, but I am really craving them! Probably because I avoid sugar like the plague!
I'm not pregnant (YET) but my sister craved a Krispy Kreme doughnut hamburger. Not that it existed, but that's what she wanted!
I craved Cheetos and peanut butter my entire pregnancy! It was so strange and my husband just stared at me in disgust LOL!
I love reading all these cravings! Do any of you still eat/or never eat, what you craved when you were pregnant? I would be curious to know. I still love hot sauce!
I craved cinnamon. Red hots, cinnamon bears, cinnamon candies, cinnamon jelly beans. I still love cinnamon to this day!
I have been craving some usual dish like the kind on bizarre foods! Like tripe, chicken feet, and ramen! Yes, lots of ramen, though i read it bad for you. I try to compensate it with veggies and proteins.
With my 1st - Hamburger meat. Seriously - I could eat burgers or Hamburger Helper 24/7 if I was able to. I actually would heat up a patty and just eat it with nothing on it. I gained 55 lbs that time...pretty sure it was all hamburgers. Haha!
With my 2nd - Complete 180. Meat was revolting to smell/taste/look at that time around. I ate cucumbers a lot and creamed corn. The creamed corn is funny because I never liked it before and don't like it now!
Current - Lemons!!! I can't get enough of them. My poor husband mistakenly grabbed limes at the store (didn't remember what I wanted) and had a weepy hormonal mess on his hands when he got home. LOL
I so badly wanted a turkey grinder! I just couldn’t wait to be able to have one once baby was born. As soon as he was born I had the turkey grinder - ya it was really good, but now I don’t have much interest lol! It’s so weird how things work that way. I too wanted sour things! The more sour the better. The sour patch kids (red ones) were my favorite!
I would really like an old school “slush puppy!” Has to be cherry flavored with extra pumps of flavoring! It’s so hard to find those now. It seems like they are all slightly different. I think that’s a pretty simple request lol
I have been craving some delicious haitian griot recently and pickles.
I craved for ramen noodles and grapes. Just imagine how those 2 go together lol. It was definitely weird if I think about it now I don't think I will be able to eat the 2 together.
I've craved corn dogs. No idea why, I don't even like them, but I want them constant. State Fair ones are the best, but I'll take imitation. LMBO!
Oh I do still love sour stuff but I won't go as far as eat a lemon LOL. Interestingly enough though my son really likes sour things too but maybe it's just because he's a kid and thinks sour stuff is weird/ cool because it makes you have a funny face.
Oh Jessie! That's an interesting one! Do you still crave sour things? Mine was just candy, all the time. But I have always had a sweet tooth and still do. Curious if any of you still crave or just indulge in what you wanted while you were pregnant?
Sushi and I couldn't even have most of the good stuff. I had some with the cooked meat in it, crab or just vegetable ones and most of the time it took care of the craving but not all the time!
Toasted peanut butter and jelly sandwiches! HAD to be toasted first! Thank goodness it's the easiest thing to make and we always had the stuff on hand!
Oh man me too for the ramen. There probably is nothing good about it especially with all the salt but it's all I want. Lunch, dinner and snacks!
I have been craving some usual dish like the kind on bizarre foods! Like tripe, chicken feet, and ramen! Yes, lots of ramen, though i read it bad for you. I try to compensate it with veggies and proteins.
Auntie Anne's pretzels! I was a regular at the mall all nine months... lol
With my first it was sweets and then with my boys it was salty foods. With baby number 4, I've been craving bbq foods. This is a fun little post.
Ice-creams are my kryptonite at he moment. Its beginning to look like a lifetime on my hips...LOL
Pickles, pickles, and more pickles! Haha But they had to be specific ones-they had to be the kosher dill sandwich sliced, so the really thin ones! For some reason they “tasted different to me” and the texture was better. Lol I know, that’s crazy
Mine was watermelon sherbet and any meat! Lol such a random mix. Anything cooked on the grill (meat wise) omg. I even just had hamburgers cooked and ate them straight from the grill- nothing on them!
I don't think a lot of people would find this weird, but I craved Indian food... For as long as I can remember I have not been a fan of Indian food. While I was pregnant I asked for Indian food almost everyday!
I'm loving ice and cauliflower lately. Yum!!
BLUEBERRY FROSTED MINI WHEATS!!!!! LOL
I had to have cheese pizza....like...every single day. ha.
The only cravings I have had are extra amounts of olives on any salad and dijon mustard with chicken (I've never liked dijon mustard until now) besides that Im just HUNGRY HUNGRY HUNGRY. Snack, breakfast, snack, snack, lunch, snack, snack, dinner, snack. Thats my day!
Popcorn and french fries...but not together!! I really preferred Topsy's popcorn mix and I have a wonderful family that supported that craving and kept popcorn tins coming to my house!! I was really surprised that my kids didn't pop out requesting crunch french fries or popcorn! So fun reading these...thanks for posting this!
I craved meat all the time. and it wasn't the cheaper meat as ground beef. It had to be expensive meat, filet minot, ribeye, porterhouse, strip steak. lol i went crazy . it was just all meat
OK. I know this is super weird, and disgusting now that I am not pregnant. lol. But the week before I gave birth, I craved olives and donuts !!!! ughhhhhhh
steak?!?!?! OH YES! I craved this my whole pregnancy lol
I always craved steak in my first trimester. Then the second and third all I wanted to drink was apple juice. I would literally get up in the middle of the night and chug a big glass of juice! Its a wonder I wasn't diabetic from all that sugar!
How about you? What did you crave?
I was really sick the first trimester, but throughout my whole pregnancy I didn't really crave anything. I just wanted to eat everything on site
OMG ME TO! Cereal was life!!!!!! every single night it was a date with me, cereal, and Netflix lol now I barely want to eat cereal
Cereal! I ate a bowl every. Single. Day. After work! Granted I do still love cereal, but I don’t need it every day. Lol!
Coca cola and sweet tea in one!weird but it was a delight for me at that time
Oh my goodness. McDonald's French fries. All of them! All of the time! My poor baby is going to be a French fry!
I craved Jack in the Box!! Their tacos and curly fries were something I always wanted, but I had to be careful because they are obviously not healthy at all.
I loved eating oranges with sour cream... Super weird but it was delicious to me
I didn't really have any except I was always thirsty and I have a supply of bottled water because of that.
I am not really craving anything yet, but I have been eating so much during the day!
Reese's chocolate all the way from breakfast to dinner.lol
Hot wings and pizza. They are both my craving for the first 3 months.
I'm having fun reading your post ladies. Very informative and helpful to the preggo''s in here
My first, grilled cheese and chocolate milk. This time? Meat!
I loved chocolate milk also. Milk with nesquick every night
I craved pies,.. all sorts of pies. Apple pie, pumpkin pie, cherry pie, chocolate pie. Specially apple pie that was my go to everything. I could pies all day long.
Mine cravings were pickles! But I would switch what kind of pickle. Sweet pickles, dill pickles, sandwich pickles. All of them were great haha!
I do not remember anything specific that I craved. Everything had its moments depending on the day. Once day could be hot dogs or burgers, the next would be pasta or just rice. whatever was in my mind, i had to eat or drink at the moment. I remember sending out my ex to grab anything I wanted.
I didn't have any that were too crazy. I wanted ice cream a lot. Sometimes mixed with other things, but nothing really out of the ordinary.
I had a craving for vegetarian scallops and i made my husband go to every store including whole foods but had no luck so after having a family member send me some i figured out amazon sells them.
Anything peanut butter.. and more recently, Nutella. And milk. (which is strange, because I've never been a milk drinker!)
Fruit, specifically melon.. the juicier the better.. Have literally eaten a bag of grapes today already.
My biggest craving is baked lays chips/fries with mayonnaise !!
So much mayonnaise.
I was all about cucumbers with my son. This time I'm crazy about apples. Luckily it's fall so there are plenty to go around! Lol!
OMG! I craved pickles,lasagna, and Reeses pieces cereal. LOL Yuck!
I've been addicted to those little powder donut balls and milk. They're so good!
My biggest bummer is that I can't stand the smell of meat lately. It's killing me because I love burgers!! Now the smell makes me gag! Ugh!
I feel SOOOO left out when it comes to this topic. My cravings have been so normal and predictable ahaha, everyone expects me to have these wild cravings but nope!
I was obsessed with pickled peppers for a while. I love pizza & spaghetti!
I craved everything that was really sour! Especially sour skittles (do they even still make those?). If I went to a store that didn't have the sour skittles I would either get a lemon or a grapefruit. Those were the only 3 things that would suffice the sour urge! I know they say some cravings were a sign of something that your body was lacking but I couldn't find out what sour things were!
Funny you should mention craving sour food! I crave lemons all the time now. I enjoy eating them too whereas before I was pregnant the only time I ever had lemon was a slice on my Diet Coke glass at a restaurant! It’s all my little tummy tenant!! 😆😆😆
Love these stories!! Has anyone not been able to eat foods that they typically love?
Pickles or honestly anything salty! Which I'm told might mean that I'm carrying a boy?!?
Apple cider everything! (thankfully this is the season for that!)
I craved ramen noodle soup, note this is terrible for preggo women because of the high sodium content. I wanted to eat them all the time lol but thankfully I had my mom reminding me of the dangers of eating them and of how awful they were for my health, she's a nurse.
I keep putting mustard or horseradish on everything. Plain bread. Carrots. Meat. Anything. I think it's the tang/kick that I'm craving. I can't get enough of it though!
I craved peanut butter with everything!! Peanut butter with ice cream, bread, celery, shakes, etc. It was serious lol
Oh my goodness, I've been craving hibachi food ALL the time; I love me a good ol' hibachi steak with broccoli, carrots, fried rice and shrimp sauce. I think I have an addiction now! lol
Fresh squeezed juices!!! And I didn't realize some of the ones I were drinking wasn't pasteurized 😓
I ate two bags of buttered popcorn with three glasses of rootbeer tonight. I feel so guilty...
I've never been a milk drinker but now I just need a glass of milk every night. Also anything salty. Ha ha
With my first it was cinnamon. I ate cinnamon rolls every morning, chewed cinnamon gum, had to go buy cinnamon toothpaste. Oh and milk. I drank a gallon like every 3 days. Probably explains why my son was so huge as a baby and toddler. With my daughter I craved Nutella on everything!
I have been craving Dr Pepper all the time. I don't want to be drinking all that sugar, but it's really hard.
I could not get enough cereal!
I'm really craving sour foods right now.
I’m obsessed with spinach and artichoke dip right now! Oh my gosh it’s so scrumptious!(:
I’m currently craving lobster and steak! Mmm they sound so fricken good! Not even gonna lie, I still eat medium rare steak, it’s too good to give up!
Im addicted to broccoli and strawberries as of right now!(:
I've been feeling my sweet tooth get out of control. I didn't have anything to put on toast the other day so I just slathered it with hershey's chocolate sauce and called it a day
I’ve craved apple juice and french dips so fricken bad, let me tell you! I even bought $9 roast beef so I could make them from home, they’re soooo good!
I craved spaghetti so fricken bad! Mainly pasta in general but marinara sauce is so scrumptious!
Pretzels & pickles for me!
I had cravings for popcorn, peanut butter, and raisins LOL! The weirdest kids EVER LOL! And, unfortunately, he's still a weird kid!
Pizza rolls and ice cream
While pregnant I was craving fries and sweets. Mostly chocolate.
chicken nuggets and fruit juice! lol
I had more aversions than cravings. I was looking forward to cravings during pregnancy lol. I couldn't stand smelling peanut butter and chicken
I’ve been craving turkey subs for some reason lol
French fries, supreme pizza and cheddar popcorn. Now, I try to limit all of this bc I know none of it is healthy! And the pizza - it gives me horrible heartburn so I have no idea why i crave it!
PB & J, pickles and Snickers with whip cream.
Ramen noodles, ice cream and tuna.
Pineapples for me and peanut butter LOL
Bananas, cranberries with oatmeal with chunks onions on the side. I had heartburn daily.
Olives and kettle corn. Sometimes together, sometimes one after another. My husband gets so grossed out. lol
Avocado. I lived off of avocado during my first trimester with my daughter. I would just eat it with a spoon. 😂
Thai Food ! But I tried to limit my consumption. So I ate a lot of fruits I really enjoyed pears and Apples!
I think cravings are the baby’s way of requesting “womb service.” Hahaha. I keep eating potato chips. Non stop.
Have been craving escargot recently. My vacation in Paris before pregnancy brought it on.
I keep craving biryani and naan from my favorite food truck. Even though it gives me heart burn!
Bread...lots of bread! And ice-pop!
I craved fried fish and french fries drenched in tartar sauce. So good!!!
I absolutely love hot wings. I mean I. Crave them more when I'm pregnant for some reason. I guess I like the low carb feelnofnit all as well. I'm not sure how the spicy is treating the baby but no bad indegestion so I think we are both good lol.
While I was pregnant with my son, I was craving hot chicken wings at 1am . It was really funny that my husband had to drive around town and tried to look for some.
I've been craving fruit like crazy. Like it's all I want to eat. I've also wanted anything that I can douse in maple syrup. Eggos, pancakes - all things I never ever thought about eating until I got pregnant. I'm really worried about the third trimester. I hear that's when things kick in and the "If I can't have this thing I'm going to die" cravings go to town. A friend of mine had to have a coke from McDonald's before she could sleep. It HAD to be from McDonald's. Another had to have a medium pizza from Pizza Hut. I have no idea how these ladies aren't 100 pounds overweight after having children.
I just love Alfredo pasta! The sauce is what i cant get enough of.
Have been craving a lot o crackers recently. The salty ones, i usually don't like them.
I have always craved healthy food while pregnant especially avocados, strawberries and now pomegranates! Thank God its pomegranate season!!
I loved fish and tarter sauce. I worked at lubys and they fed me good lol
Mine was simple the first time around banana bread and coffee the second time around ice cream and any kind of cake.
French fries and chocolate milk every day, all day long!
