Cravings/Aversions

[rubberchicken]

All I want to eat is carbs and protein.  If I could eat three hamburgers I day I would.  I know I need to eat veggies and fruits, but I can't even look at them.

Also, the smell of my dog makes me want to vomit.  She doesn't smell any worse than she did last month, I'm just more sensitive to it now. She keeps coming over for love and affection and I keep running away.

I'm a carbo loader right now too. And oranges always sound good.

Aversions that come and go: coffee (tear), tea, vegetables, meat. Basically what sounds good changes every 10 minutes.

I actually did eat two hamburgers the other day...a guacamole burger for breakfast and a cheeseburger for lunch...

Donuts and ice cream are staples even when I'm not pregnant. The weird thing I crave is spicy food. It's like I can't get enough sriracha, green Tabasco sauce, and chile garlic paste. I.put.it.on.everything.

I'm just waiting for the day when I can't stand coffee. It'll be soon, I'm sure.

Stuff that I'm guaranteed able to eat: baby carrots, baby dill pickles, white breads (particularly flaky types like croissants), pudding, jello (ended up buying a bunch of sugar free ones)

Things that normally seem to work, but sometimes put me off: fresh fruit, canned chicken noodle soup

Aversions that come and go: chicken, most proteins really except nuts, sushi (super sad)

Always, always aversion: eggs. I managed to stomach some scrambled ones with loads of cheese and bacon and veggies today, but the smell puts me off right away.

I haven't had any real cravings; I just eat whatever doesn't make me want to vomit. I can't stomach regular/flat water, so I've been drinking lots of Polar seltzer and hot chocolate (with hot water, not milk) to stay hydrated. In an effort to actually get some nutrition, I've been having a bacon/egg/cheese sandwich for breakfast, a fruit/yogurt parfait for lunch, and a Lean Cuisine for dinner (I usually cook 100% of my meals, but I just can't stomach prepping or cooking food right now). My snacks are still very bland and carby (crackers, popcorn, rice cakes).

I'm also very sensitive to smells. rubberchicken, I feel you on the dog front - my poor pup's breath has never been the greatest no matter what we do, and now I can't have his face anywhere near mine. I keep adjusting him to face away from me on the couch!

Only real craving was french fries about a week ago. Only real aversion was coffee for about a week 2 weeks ago.

Been wanting a lot of fruit so I assume that's a craving, but it's certainly not a bad one to have.

Cravings: Orange juice, spicy food, guacamole, eggs.

Aversions: Most meat. It's weird. I can still stomach chicken but I want nothing to do with beef or pork.

zengal twins! I'm all about spicy food right now. With DS I had a wasabi obsession. I put it on everything. With this pregnancy it's sriracha.

[lovetruly2015]

It changes for me. Right now bread is my friend two weeks ago I couldn't touch it. So I was all about dairy now that bothers me. I have noticed it also depends on how often I eat. I've found that I need to snack almost every hour or I feel sick. So my goal today is quick, easy and good snack food I can take to work and hide.

Same here, I need to make the effort to eat smaller meals more frequently, because if I don't eat I get nauseous, but if I eat too much I get nauseous as well.

Lately everything sounds gross to me, until it doesn't. If that makes sense? The other night I was craving white cheddar popcorn and ate half a bag. Hummus sounds awful to me, and I usually love it! My cravings and aversions have been so random. It was not like this at all with my first. It's so weird how different pregnancies can be.

I eat all day long. I'm going to gain a ton of weight if this keeps up but it feels like every time I eat something, I'm hungry again half an hour later. Cravings and aversions come and go without any predictability. Overall my cravings tend to be sweet rather than savory.

[thekatezombie]

I've had a lot of aversions, mostly to vegetables. Anything green sounds especially horrible.

I've been eating a ton of fruit, and I want red meat. Also, I hadn't eaten a Hot Pocket in 5 or 6 years, but now I suddenly want to eat ALL the pepperoni pizza Hot Pockets.

[serendipity731]

FFFC: I kinda like the smell of my dog's breath.

Aversions right now: caffeine (it makes me super nauseated) *tears*, most fruits and veggies and basically anything that isn't a cracker.

Cravings: bring on the orange juice with pulp.


I'm totally carb loading and I am going to gain so much weight. This nauseous thing sucks. Last time around I wanted to eat navel oranges and had no food aversions.

[merryrissmas]

I don't know if I'm far enough along to have true cravings/aversions yet. But I have eaten a ton of sour gummy bears, and always want fruit (apples, kiwis, and clementines are faves).  Diet Coke always sounds good.

[mrsjene]

Chicken is the devil.

Other than that, me and food are cool.

[watermelonseed]

The thought Orange juice makes me wanna die.

I now consider myself a cracker connoisseur
