Oddly, I craved homemade cranberry juice popsicles! I made them all of the time and enjoyed them often. I did not have the typical pickles and ice cream cravings.

My kids are 15 and 18 now, but I can remember the pregnancy cravings pretty well. With my son (18), I wanted all the junk food... pepperoni and jalapeno pizza dipped in ranch dressing, hot wings, and Chinese takeout were my favorites. With my daughter (15), I only wanted fruit. That's it, for the whole pregnancy. And the funny thing is that they both eat how I ate when I was pregnant with them :lol2:
My son loves junk food, and my daughter loves fruit.

My baby mostly took away my appetite but made me crave for mangoes. These were mostly out of season and when they came in I finished a whole box in one sitting!!

With my oldest I went through stages. Each trimester was different. 1st trimester was Chinese food, 2ed was pizza and all the sides from the local pizza joint, and 3ed was egg salad sandwiches.

With my twins I just wanted whatever sounded good at the time.

And last but not least my daughter was basically anything I could keep down. I was sick the whole time.

Not my first hand experience about pregnancy cravings but my friend loves to eat jackfruit with vinegar. As well as potato chips being dipped at yogurt.

With my first baby, all I ever wanted was caesar salads and buffalo wings with chunky bleu cheese. This time, I want margherita pizza, grapes, apples, pickles dipped in peanut butter... I guess I should be thankful to be craving healthier things??

Ladies, what kinds of things did you crave when pregnant?
Oh my god this is hilarious. I'm not pregnant I have never been pregnant but I wonder what I will crave when the time comes.

It is quite crazy. I have family that have been pregnant and they craved the most random things. My sister always craved barbecue at 7 am.

I'm 18 weeks pregnant with my first and I was swearing up and down that I didn't have any cravings, but my hubby was nice enough to point out how many PICKLES I've been eating. I'm glad he did too, because it made me realize I maybe should be keeping a better eye on my sodium intake.

I wish I was craving more super healthy foods, keeping up on the pregnancy diet is so hard on bloaty days!
