What did you crave most when you were pregnant? It was different for me with all three of my pregnancies. The one consistancy was I couldn't stand the smell of tuna! :)

For my first, I had to eat hot dogs every day and I normally hate them!
For my second, I don't remember having much cravings...
This time though, holy cow! I got sick of pizza right away, I couldn't eat chili, the thought of NutriGrain bars made me gag, and so did Chinese food. We went out to Chinese and I had to leave cuz I just couldn't eat it. Tonight my husband made steak and I was looking forward to it but the marinade he used reminded me of Chinese food and it made me sick!
I have been craving sweets so bad this time! And anything sugary makes me sick so it sucks! Christmas cookies... hmm... good. My favorite right now is chicken breast with Famous Dave's rich and sassy sauce and baked potatoes with cheese and ranch sour cream... so good!
Oh and before I was pregnant, I ate so good and so healthy! The only fast food I ate was Subway but Burger King was the first thing in weeks that I ate and it didn't make me sick. Now we eat it like once a week. I get the spicy tendercrisp (add pickles, of course!) it is so good!! and if I don't eat the whole sandwhich, it doesn't make me sick... hahaha... pregnancy is so fun!!

When I was pregnant w/ my second baby I craved buttermilk Eggo's and fresh french bread. My husband would go to the store every morning and buy me a loaf as soon as it was done. The sad thing is that I ate it all! I would go through a bottle of syrup every week. To this day, I still can't stand the smell of tuna. With my first baby, cigarettes would turn my stomach. If I smelled just a hint of smoke when I started into a restaurant I would have to immediately turn around and leave. At least we don't crave things like dirt, laundry detergent or such...... I have heard of this happening.

I couldn't stand the smell of garlicky things.. so Italian food was out of the question (and I love Italian food). I craved cranberry juice. I had a big glass every morning. I think it was the tartness because I also loved lemons! Toward the end of my pregnancy I craved s'mores. I made them in the microwave every night. Funny thing.. when my son was about 4 months old (he's 6 1/2 months now) I was cleaning out the pantry and I found a half eaten bag of marshmellows and was reminded of it all!!

Good question. My first pregancy I was going to college and I only craved slim jims. On my last day of school; the cafeteria gave me a box of slim jims.
My second pregnancy was a different story. I loved Dominos Pizza but one day; I looked at it and it made me sick. I did crave macaroni salad from Wendy's and Kentucky Fried Chicken.

When I was pregnant I craved chocolate milk. I drank that every single night.. I also absolutely had to have something italian everyday. It could be as small as a bite of a pizza. I was happy with that. I always said to myself , I'm pregnant, I have an excuse :)

I loved lemons! I would go to a resteraunt with my husband and ask for a big bowl of lemon's for my appetizer! lol
This is a little off the subject but funny...
There was always a smell in my house that made me feel queezy! My husband couldn't smell it, but to me it was a strong scent that would make me so sick, and I couldn't find it anywhere! It was always stronger when I just walked in the door after being out.
Then one day after coming home to the same smell, I was fed up and let my nose trail it down. I finally realized it was coming from a candle that I had set up for decoration in my dining room. (wedding gift). It berely had a scent before I got pregnant but turned into this horrible stench! I had my husband box it up and we gave it to my mom to get it out of my house! lol

My first daughter I craved lemons....LOVED them ate them by the bowlful and now she loves them too and eats them JUST like I did.

I craved pizza, anything Italian, peanut butter, bacon, grapes, strawberries, and pineapple. Couldn't stand Mexican or Chinese food for some reason, and they are normally my favorites! Also, I was VERY sensitive to smells; i.e. the trash, B.O., my husband's coffee breath, etc. LOL
