Anyone craving things they dont normally eat? put off by things they normally do?

Before this pregnancy I was well on my way to vegetarianism lol
I had really only chicken on my menu left. Now, I find myself buying steaks and bacon and just craving the heck out of both!

I also was a coffee drinker. Even with my 2nd I could drink coffee and cut down to just one cup in the morning.
But this time around I cant even smell coffee brewing without gagging! Its so bizarre!
I hope it changes lol

Funny... I was so worried about how I could possibly cut out coffee in the morning and now, I can't stand the thought of it! Although, I agree with the ladies above, I got an iced coffee this am just for the heck of it and it was really good. It's almost as of pregnancy just kicked my coffee addiction!

I am being good though. I have a cup of half caf in the morning so there's not as much caffeine and the rest is decaf. But I have never been able to fully give it up lol

I have been eating cereal a lot aswell as soup. I crave soup which I don't usually. And I crave a lot of dairy. Icecream, creamy soups, sour cream, alfredo, cheese...mmmm.
I don't drink milk, but take calcium supplements on top of my prenatal vitamins, so I am not lacking.

I would describe myself as an addict as well I was just trying to save myself Lectures about caffeine lol. I did get myself an ice coffee yesterday at dunkin donuts and it was great! No gagging lol

I am a coffee addict...not a coffee drinker. Lol But this time I couldn't handle the smell of it for my entire first 14 weeks. I thought I was going to cry when I realized if I can't handle the smell how can I drink it? But I figured out a trick. Iced coffee has next to no smell. I could still have coffee, I just couldn't make it! Lol
