What did/do you crave during pregnancy?

Since I’ve been pregnant, my appetite has been all over the place. Most times, I only crave fruit. But I’ve recently started craving sour and spicy foods. Yesterday, I literally ate a WHOLE jar of pickle spears. The crazy part is I HAVE NEVER LIKED SPICY OR SOUR FOOD! 🤦🏾‍♀️😂 what is this baby doing to me 😩😂.

Reeses puffs or the off brand version that looks like cheerios. In my first trimester I would wake twice a night and eat a bowl and if I didn't I would get super sick!

I’ve always loved spicy food but I indulged a ton the first few months and ate a bunch of fried food and burgers and doused EVERYTHING in hot sauce. I started craving sweets around 18 weeks and the cravings finally settled around 24 weeks. I still get some here and there but nothing like before 😂

Avatar

Pickles, beef patty with mozzarella, and I had to have a Red Lobster Caesar salad with a pina colada at least 3 times a week.

Salami and chicken Parmesan sandwiches

I haven't craved anything out of the norm. Sweets always sweets but thats been before pregnancy.
This week I have been dying for a cold subway spicy Italian sandwich and it kills me that I can't have it... or shouldn't

Eggos spead with almond butter and topped with clementine slices. Wheat toast with mustard and avocado.🤷 Also, I ate a carton of berries a day. One night I craved tortilla chips, so I sent my husband to the store, after one bite I threw the bag down and started crying because they were too salty!! 🤣 Gotta love those crazy hormones!!

Avatar

I craved hot Cheetos and pickles together and beef patties my first trimester. Then raisin bengals with cream cheese and jelly and ox tail pees and rice my 2nd and third trimester. 🥰 I ate that everyday up until I was about 7 1/2 months lol

Avatar

Strawberries, fizzy strawberry laces, cornflakes (for a while) and smoothies. Cannot get enough of homemade smoothies! I could also probably eat a Big Mac every day but I’m not doing that for obvious reasons 😩

Hot wings!

I never craved any weird combos, but I’d go through waves of craving different types of food. Burgers, sushi (nothing raw), ice cream, soda, etc.! For some reason anything acidic or with lots of spices absolutely repulsed me as well.

Avatar

Mangos!!!! And acai juice was a nausea lifesaver!

Avatar

Sugar, sugar and sugar! I carried a bag of candy everywhere. Have y’all ever heard of cookie butter? It’s heaven

Avatar

Burgers, watermelon, Mac n cheese, Philly cheesesteak SPECIFICALLY from Philly, also some randomly specific things from Colombia that you can only get there & was able to have people bring them over for me 🙂

Total opposite for each of pregnancies with my 3 kids
My 1st(girl)- haupia (coconut) cake with coconut shavings & ham n cheese omelette on sweet bread buns or apple pie with ranch
My 2nd(girl)- Wendy’s fries & Sonic/DQ ice cream or pickles ( hate pickles)
My 3rd(boy)- healthy smoothies healthy food😂🤣

Donuts 🙃 I always crave donuts. I never ate donuts before I was pregnant. Also Barq’s root beer. Also not really a craving, but I had a vivid dream a couple weeks ago that I was continuously making and eating a grilled ham, peanut butter and jelly sandwich. I am allergic to peanuts and I am also a vegetarian and would never eat ham 😂

Today I had the craziest cravings day,
I felt I was craving for something all day long but I couldn't decide for what.
I kept thinking looking at food, even stopped in the shop so I can decide easier, but no..still couldn't.
Finally I got home from work, had a bath, opened the fridge, and I looked at the milk bottle and said YESSSS! It was the milk all day long.
Not even food 😂😂😂🤦🏼‍♀️🤦🏼‍♀️🤦🏼‍♀️🤦🏼‍♀️🤦🏼‍♀️

Avatar

The beginning of my pregnancy I wanted pickles, hamburgers, and any kind of spicy food sooo much and then towards the end my cravings mellowed out a bit and I just wanted a lot of sweets or like salty and sweet combo. My go to was the spicy or regular munchies chips and chocolate or ice cream lol

Avatar

With my first I craved fries 🍟, with this second one I’m craving pancakes 🥞 French toast and salad 🥗 lol.

Avatar

With my son I craved steak and potatoes. With my daughter I craved strawberries and grapes.

Didn’t have a craving that stuck... I would just randomly see something or think of something and feel like I HAD to have it

Avatar

One weird craving that I did have but it wasn’t food... was chemical smells/ gasoline but obviously I didn’t go around sniffing that stuff but I literally say dreamt about it...

Am I just fucked?

I need a new car. I purchased my current honda civic in 2024 after my car was totaled in an accident. Seemingly there was nothing wrong with it. I went alone to the dealership because my dad lived out of state and my bf wasn’t available anyways. Couple months down the road, the cars sensors start going berserk. We got it checked at the honda dealership and with our own family known mechanic and no problems came up. It was just wack. Fast forward to know, the car has about 155k miles. We bought it at 125k, I know STUPID CHOICE. Here’s why i’m ultra fucked though. I’ve been a SAHM for the last year, my baby is 7 months old. I’m starting a part time job next month but literally at 10 hours a week. That’s the most I can do as I do not want to put my baby in daycare and do not have any family that can watch him for an extenuous amount of time everyday.

Besides the fact that the honda civic is kind of uncomfortable to fit the huge car seat, the stroller snd stroller seat attachment. which i don’t wanna have to repurchase and buy a smaller one. The car is SHIT. The car runs weird right off the bat anyone will say that when they drive. The engine light is on. There must be a hole or something in the AC unit because the AC is broke and everytime we put the AC gas in it it ends up leaking within 1-2 weeks. AC gas is kinda expensive to be refilling it that often. My dad doesn’t think I should put any money into this car to fix it. We still owe about 3k. We want to trade it in however my parents think that I should get a NEW car since this used car gave us such bad faith. Mind you, when I got it and for a couple months after, none of these problems were there :/ I drove from NJ to BOSTON a few months after getting it and the emergency sensors went off and the car was shaking bad and i had to pull over. Never found out what that was about.

I have 5k to put down. BTW, my parents are heavily involved because i’m 24 and I live with them (me and my bf) in hopes to move out when we have the funds for that. I don’t wanna ask my BF for any money. I know he’ll just throw it back in my face down the line during an argument because he thinks a paycheck is the extent of his contribution as a partner and father. Whole other story. My parents can’t afford to throw any money at a new car. My dad thinks I should get a new car that’s relatively recent like 2023+. Not for the aesthetic but because he thinks insurance rates might be better for a newer vehicle. They want me to ask my BF to contribute since it would be a family car for us. That he would also be able to ride around in when he’s not driving to work in his own car. I dont wanna downgrade to just 1 car because he goes into work incredibly early and I dont wanna have to wake my baby up at 4am and take him to drop his dad off. I also just need my own car because Im starting a part time job soon. I could just use my part time dollars to pay it off but what if I’m stuck with a car note in the event anything happened with this job? My bf and his family suggested we buy a car from enterprise because it’d always gone well.. however i told him there’s a lot of risk in buying a RENTAL CAR. and he said there’s also a lot of risk in buying a used car from a dealership. He said you’re NOT getting a new car. a new car to me isn’t about the aesthetics, it’s about the security that we wont have the same issue we’ve had with the used car i bought in 2024 which was seemingly great when we first got it.

Anyways, I don’t drive my car anymore. Because of all its sensors and issues. But it’s not practical to keep having to use my parents car to get around. I don’t know what to do, if there is anything TO do. Seems like i’m just backed into a corner. My honda is just losing value as it sits in the drive way, already is very low value due to the shit miles it has.

I get I should just maybe lean on my BF as he did agree to help with the down payment and the car note but I just don’t want to. He will throw it back in my face. That’s for certain. I also don’t wanna make a poor financial decision that’s gonna effect me and my baby in the long run.

Need more friends!

Hi Ladies, if I’m being honest making friends has always been a struggle of mine. Being straightforward and honest , I’ve slowly experienced myself turning into that girl that only hangs out with her husband and honestly I’m getting bored of him lol . Looking for open-minded , understanding women who aren’t afraid to be themselves. Im looking for women who can teach me things and be open to learn new things by doing things outside of their comfort zones positively of course. Simply looking for sister-ships , for family.

Baths while pregnant

I’ve had baths throughout my pregnancy. I don’t want advice on that. I wondering how other women who have baths while pregnant lay in the bath? Is it considered laying on your back? I’m 5’6 so my feet just touch the end 😂
