TFT. CRAVINGS!!

OK. My TFT is CRAVINGS! I want to know about all of your cravings that you had while pregnant or when your partner was pregnant. I think it’s interesting what women crave while pregnant. A friend of mine used to crave blueberry juice. There wasn't even such a thing at the time.
I have always been a pretty healthy eater but lately I crave plain potato chips and pizza all the time. It's really all that sounds good right now. Oh and I love pasta and rice, two things that I barely touched before I was pregnant. YUMMY!!
I am not that far along and I really want to try not to get too big. One thing that’s good is I am craving fresh salads and juice. I just started this pregnancy journey so I am sure my cravings will get crazier and I may need to revisit this subject again in the future.

First of all, I didn't even know you were preggo! Congrats! With all 3 kids, I craved anything with sugar. Seriously, cookies, icecream, cake, coke, chocolate. You name it, I ate it! That's all I really craved though. I say go with what you want, you never know what your body will do. I gained 50 pounds with Annika, and only 15 with Bianca and Bennett and I ate the same with all 3! I hope you are feeling well and congrats again!

I really need to put your blog in my reader, I forget to look!

I am 6 months pregnant and since the beginning I have craved milk, big time! I can drink 2-3 glasses with each meal. I've always been a milk drinker but not like this. I crave fresh fruit all the time (strawberries & watermelon in particular), but I also have my share of junk food cravings. I gotta have ice cream in some form, least daily. Those yogurt parfaits at McDonald's are killer (and healthy too!), I crave them all the time. Sometimes I can eat one of those and my ice cream craving will go away. I want brownies all the time too...I just don't give into that temptation all too often. (And now that I've talked about it...I want a brownie. lol)
I love pizza and could eat that every day. Taco Bell is another I could have everyday. I make Tacos at home on a weekly basis now because I crave them so bad.
I haven't really had any "weird" cravings yet, I am still eating pretty much everything I used to, but when I have a craving I HAVE to have it or it doesn't go away.

I try to eat healthy but I don't fight my urges when I get them, even if it for junk food. I am going to enjoy this pregnancy and not focus on how much weight I am gaining.
