This is my 5th pregnancy and for some reason I have been craving healthy food. That's all I want to eat! Any other time, I have felt like it was a time to eat whatever I wanted when I was prego!! If so, how much weight did you gain during your pregnancy? I am eating...just healthy...I'm not dieting to anyone that thinks that!!! =)

This is my first pregnancy but I crave all healthy stuff too. I use to go and play poker with my husband and eat bar food and other yucky stuff. I crave salad, and fresh fruits and veggies. My husband made fresh fish the other night and deep fried it like he always does and I couldn't take a second bite. I started out my pregnancy waaaaay over weight and have lost 40 pounds. Both my OB Doc and my Endocronologist (I've been Type 1 Diabetic since age 14) are okay with the weight loss because I have been eating healthy and walking and the baby is right on track!! I guess I feel lucky that I am craving good for me stuff and I am feeling better than I have in a couple of years (besides still being a little sick once in a while). Best of luck to you with your 5th!! pregnancy! :)

All I have wanted is junk. Sweets mainly. Feel lucky if you crave healthy stuff! I've had horrible morning sickness through the entire 28 weeks so far and if I try to force myself to eat certain healthy foods, I will get very sick. I can only eat the things that I crave if I want to keep from throwing up. I have gained 20 pounds so far and wish that I could eat better!

I ate healthier foods when I was pregnant because for some reason it tasted better than it did before i became pregnant. I didn't crave healty food though. I craved mint chocolate chip ice-cream and hot wings...not at the same time though. Some women even crave nasty things like ashes. yuck. I gained about 30lbs. with each of my 3 pregnancies.

I was the same way at first. The sight or smell of fried food made me sick. For the first month I craved orange juice and vegetables like tomatoes and cucumbers. And I would also eat the canned tropical fruit salad. I don't even want to know how many cans of that I went through!

Sometimes. My most craved foods were mac & cheese, fudgecicles, and apples (the healthy one!). Also soft chocolate ice cream in the summer. I ate normal, didn't pig out or want to any more than normal. I gained 16 lbs. during my pregnancy.

Well, I wouldn't say that I'm craving healthy all the time. But during my 1st trimester I couldn't bearly eat anything and food fast made me so sick just thinking about it. Now in my 2nd trimester I still can't handle eating fast food but I can eat ice cream and desserts... stuff like that. But mainly SUBWAY for me.

i caved lot of veggies like cucumbers and tomatoes and also apples and blueberries. and i did end up losing weight because of my eating habits changed. i lost 30 with #1 and 27 with # 2 so far i have lost 25 with #3. the doctor said it was healthy for me to lose the weight because i was "over weight" when i got pregnant and run a risk for gestational diabetes. i weighted 175 pounds at the beginning of pregnancy.

I did! Burgers Grossed me out with all that grease coming out of it....Taco bell stinked and Chinese food looked disgusting! This was just in my first pregnancy.
But when i would see fruits and veggies my mouth would just get watery. I ate chicken without salt or added ingrediants...just plain with side steamed veggies..... thought it was delecious!
fruit by its self was my fave!
I didnt really crave candy that much either!
I gained 35 pounds, a few hours after labour they wieghed me and i had lost 17 pounds! i told the nurse that i had eaten healhty , but she said that some veggies and fruits were high in natural starch and sugar...that surprised me!
But now that i had my baby my view on the food on top has changed!

My first pregnancy I craved peanut butter. My second I craved JimBoy's greasy tacos, usually late at night.
I'm not sure why you're concerned about eating healthy food, at least you're not craving dirt like some women. Just make sure you're getting enough calories.
