Cravings by Gender

So I've heard that depending on your babies gender you crave different things.....

If it's a boy you crave salty & spicy things... But with a girl you crave sweeter things....

I'd like a poll on cravings ladies! And let me know what you're having!!

  I'm 19 weeks and won't be finding out the sex of the baby, it will be our surprise!  I've been obsessing over spicy things, I drink TONS of Milk..thats my go to drink with ANY meal...yet in the morning I want chocolate pudding!!

I craved pop, chocolate, crackers (salted tops) and oranges! I'm having a girl :)

I hated meat! I used to love chicken but hate it now. Occassionally I will eat a little bit. But unless its fake meat like fast food I can't eat it.

My meat preference flipped. Hated burgers now love them. Loved chicken now hate it.

I hope my preferences flip back after I have her! Lol I want pop but it gives me bad heartburn!

Lol, this is so funny! Thanks for posting everyone!  I was never a milk drinker..had it occasionally with cereal, but the thought of not having milk with at least dinner depresses me lol.  And I'll drink at least 2 glasses with my dinner.

During the first trimester, I wanted oranges...all day, everyday!  Then I had a bad sour one, and haven't touched them since.  I eat tons of fruits and veggies, but it's the thought of mexican food that drives me nuts! I'm not even Latin. I will def. keep everyone posted... just 21 more weeks to go... lol.
