Food! Cravings!

[shannonwooten]

What are some things that you are craving?
What do you like now that you didn't before?
What did you like before that you didn't now?

I am 7 weeks along now! I haven't been having certain cravings but the last two days I have been realllly wanting Mountain Dew Slushies, lol!

There isn't really anything I didn't like before.... but I LOVED chicken before- now I can't even eat chicken soup! I am not like this all the time... I still like hot wings on occasion...


Take care ladies!

Anything hot really turns me off to food and makes me incredibly nauseous. I used to LOVE pasta, now I can't stand to get near it. The smell and the texture make me sick. As for cravings, anytime I see someone eating something on TV, I think, "Wow. That would be really good right now." I've thought that about pizza, popcorn, a Starbucks iced coffee (which I am continuing to crave even now....), Dairy Queen Blizzards (YUM!)... you name it. I have a bad sweet tooth right now, I'd love some chocolate. And I'm really into fruit, apples and bananas especially. And I have a newfound adoration for corn. Last night was the first time I was able to eat meat without it making me sick. We had some honey BBQ chicken and it was FANTASTIC. I had like 4 drumsticks, my belly hurt, but it was an "I'm full!!!!" kind of hurt -- which felt good, because since Jan 17 I've been throwing up and too nauseous to be able to get that feeling!

I am now starting to crave bologna and crackers, i did with the last pregnancy but have not eaten bologna since i was 12(bcuz we had no choice,it was cheap and my parents were stocked up on that when i got older i never touched it again ughhh). But it tasted gr8888 2nite lol

Erin, yea, haha. I had that happen to me for about two days but havent had it happen since. i remember being so hungry but nauseas at the same time...
I remember opening up the pantry to find food and I started to bawl.. my husband asked me whats wrong and i said, while bawling my eyes out ".. i am soooo hungry... but I feel so sick.... I just want to eat"


that night I also cried on his lap... i was starving but every food I looked at made me feel sick. I tried eating some soup, gave up after two bites after feeling like I had to hurl, lol...

I laugh at it now, hehe.

Yes I have had that feeling and I don't know if its nausea. I call it feeling quesy...lol I don't have the ordinary nausea and vommitting but I do have the quesy feeling when I am hungry.  I drink water when I feel like that. It seems to work.

Thanks, Shannon, I will try the celery !

Do any of you tend to be hungry AND nauseous at the same time? I haven't had much morning sickness at all. It just seems like every time I'm hungry, it's accompanied by a nagging nausea. Doesn't seem to make sense at all. Then, provided I can find something appealing enough to eat, the nausea usually subsides a little while after I've eaten.

I think I am the lucky few, no nausea, no vomitting and I am 7.5 weeks.  I have had no food aversions yet but I have said no thank you to a few things already but only because I didn't feel like eating it.  I have been having this major craving for china fruit.

For those that don't know what china fruit is, its a dried up plum/prune that is rolled in this sweet/sour/salty white powder.  

I am also having this major craving for hott food but a lemony type hott food...lol

So in nice and easy words anything SOUR!

You know, at this point I would be happy if I could just eat...LOL...I can't keep anything down!! boo hooo...

[NicMom]

Oh my gosh just reading this makes me hungry. I have been having a really hard time with meats. I will make dinner and then as I pull it out of the oven or off the grill I just start to feel nausious looking at it. I can't eat ribs, steak, chicken, pork chops, roast, lamb, or even hamburger. Ick. I'm craving veggies and fruit.

[shannonwooten]

Erin... try some celery! Celery sounds the best to me... right now, hahah
I had a lot of celery last night.... add some ranch... YUM

[Stacey1718]

I am 7.5 weeks and have had some of the above.
Definitely cold things are more appealing than hot.  I have had a big thing for salads which I am really happy about!  I could eat a Cesar salad every day!  Also cold yogurt, and puddings.

Last night I had my first real craving for fast food - a burger and fries!!  I had popcorn instead :)

[erinmck32]

I like all things cold and smooth right now ... which isn't really that convenient since I'm here in cold, wintry Ohio.

I need someone to tell me what I can eat for vegetables! I am SO not hungry for vegetables right now. Any suggestions??

I'm also having trouble eating protein, besides eggs.

What I LOVE right now, even more than usual, is cottage cheese.

As some of you have mentioned, the smells of things cooking get to me more than anything else!

[amberd5191]

Certain smells of food are sending me soaring lol. However, no cravings yet...I've never really had cravings (except for pineapple which I don't like in any shape or form).

[Juana824]

Same here for me Latrice, My husband loves Tilapia and evetime I prepare it, I get sick to my stomach. Ihave been craving peanut Butter and Jelly ssndwiches! LOL  I can't tell you when the last time I had one before I got pregnant! Pizza makes me sick to my stomach now...ugghhh...Unfortunately, I haven't been able to eat much of anything lately...it comes right back up!

Well only thing im craving these days is rainbow sherbert, im not a sherbert person but its tasting pretty good these days.

I never liked seafood and the smell always made me nauseated, but it has increased when i cook it. (DF & DS) loves seafood so i cook it for them, ugggghhh the smell

[munter]

Can't say i've had cravings but i can tell you that foods that used to smell nice to me now make me want to vomit. I opened my fridge door the other day and i had cold lamb meat in there and i had to quickly close the door again as i started dry reaching.
I've never been one to really have cravings, with both my other children i went off cups of teas and steak but so far i've been pretty good.
