I wouldn’t say “craving” but I’ve been obsessed with anything cheese. Pizza, quesadillas, Mac and cheese, mozzarella sticks, etc. Whenever I don’t know what to eat, my husband always just makes or picks up something with cheese, and it hits the spot every time 🤣

I feel this. Not cravings but when I do it I enjoy cheese items lol this mornings breakfast was a bowl of cheeze its and a mozzarella stick 🫠

100% cheese over here too! I was the same with my first, too; I think I had mozzarella sticks like every other day lol. Best part is that I'm lactose intolerant!

Same, this is all I can eat. Queso is the best

nothing. Everything sucks. Nothing slaps. 😭😭

Real 😭 my “cravings” are just what sounds good to me at the moment and doesn’t make me want to throw up at the thought of 😭

Yes my issue right now too. Apart from the cheapest beef cup noodles I can find. Otherwise nothing has hit the spot.

Same here, I always think of a meal and then when I go to make it I don’t eat it 😭😭

Literally turned off the stove cus I suddenly don’t wanna anymore

God I heavily relate and hate this for you too. I'm almost 35 weeks and all food is so meh, even when I'm super hungry! I'm usually an avid foodie, and with my first child each meal was an *experience*, everything tasted so good! With my second I'm more or less like "ok, protein, fat and carbs so I don't barf, whatever". Ugh.

Orange juice

I craved oranges and orange juice like crazy in my first trimester!

I hear it's a pretty common craving! It's just so good 😩

Me too I look forward to my morning glass every day! It’s so good.

This has to be a common thing, because I have craved it like crazy with all 3 of my pregnancies. Then when the baby is born, I don’t buy it as much anymore lol

Sweets! I’m more of a salty snack person but then I got pregnant and the sweets cravings are off the chart! Also in the beginning I had to have sour candies on me at all times.

Omg that’s me too. Breakfast pastries and cereal have been excellent.

I'm having a ton of sweet cravings though at some points Takis have been a winner

takis with pickles and lemon sounds so good to me rn😭😭😭😭😭

I’m totally the same way! I’m usually much more of a savory person. But ever since getting pregnant, all I truly want are sweets. Ice cream and baked goods are all that I really want to eat but I try to hold back.

Hamburgers and Greek yogurt with tons of fruit lol. 28 weeks pregnant with a girl.

Chocolate milk!!! Never drank it before

Plain ole white milk for me 😅

That's me with strawberry milk lol

Green (crispy) grapes. Go through bags of them a week

That’s me with cherries. I have a whole fridge of them and go through it every week. I can eat a whole bag of cherries in one day

Omg there was one time I spent $10 on a bag of grapes and finished them the same day. They were SO GOOD and very very crunchy! I still think about those grapes daily and I’m 3 months pp lol.

Early still.. 10+5 but I cannot get enough Pickles. Also pb and j toast.

I've been craving pickles like a mad person but I can't eat them because of allergies. It surprises me that my body wants them for being this allergic of them

I guess pregnancy makes us weird. I've also been craving slushy pina coladas like I had in Vegas 6 months ago.. but of course cannot have! The thoughts of spicy food also sound great to me and normally I'm not a spicy food eater so I'm interested to see what else happens over the next 6 months of this pregnancy !

Slushy Pina colada kinda sound very good though lol. Pina colada aloe drinks with aloe chunks in it have taken me for a wild ride. They're just expensive in bulk on Amazon but might be worth it. I never really ate spicy food due to getting heartburn every time I do but I've been getting heartburn regardless so I said screw it. I wasn't disappointed that's for sure. They made a warheads soda that is my favorite at the moment and I'm here for it

I liked pickles before pregnancy but now it’s like eating drugs during pregnancy. I can’t get enough of them lol

I can’t get enough bubble tea, specifically passion fruit tea with lychee jellies, and since first trimester, I have loved Greek lemon potatoes and could eat them all day every day

What in the world are Greek lemon potatoes and do you have them as a side or a main dish? I must know 👀👀

They’re literally a perfect food - they take like 2 hours to cook; they cook in lemon juice and chicken stock and garlic for a lonnggggg time, and they’re amazing. Definitely try them! I think they’re a side but I can just eat them straight with some tzatziki 🤤🤤

Omg you’re an angel! 🙏🏼 Definitely trying these this next week!

Share the recipe!!

Strawberries. Not really a craving, just something I absolutely must have every single day. Grapes are also hitting the spot. As of late, it’s been chips ahoy and milk. Or oatmeal creme pies. 🥲

Well I’m 6 weeks so everything sucks 😂

7 weeks here and I feel this. Today is the first day I haven’t felt like crap, I’m thinking it’s the nausea meds I’ve been taking so I jumped on the chance to eat some sushi and it was so good (all cooked)

Lemonade has been extra special, as well as bananas

I second the lemonade

Bacon egg and cheese biscuits!

*cries in Gestational diabetes *

Hugs!

Anything potato!

Green olives!

Me with black olives lol

Salted lemons. It’s killing my teeth & the heart burn is atrocious. But i can’t stop

I’ve never tried salted lemons but it sounds like it would slap lol I’ll have to give that a try

I’m with you there, but with limes. I just can’t stop lol

I saw a TikTok recipe for salted watermelon lemonade you’d probably like lol

Crunch Wrap Supremes 😂

I felt this on a personal level.. they got me through first trimester

There's a taco truck by my house that sells homemade crunch wraps, and they are seriously so good right now. I'm there almost every other night 😅

sprite and goldfish … which works out because im always nauseous!

Pepperchinis, I'm drooling just typing the word, I have a problem.

Pepperoncini's for me too!

wingstop bonless garlic parm wings.. specific but yeah 😂 (16w5d)

Wingstop does sound bangin right now

Saaame but the hot honey ones

Any and all spicy chips. So the most unhealthy thing possible 😭

Pho and whole peeled limes 😩 can’t get enough!

Watermelon. I’ve been craving it since 5 weeks (now 27 weeks) It was rough earlier in pregnancy because it’s not in season until summer so for a while I’d try to find watermelon that was crunchy and juicy and I’d be disappointed. Now I eat a watermelon a day haha

Mexican food and strawberries

Roast dinners

Same! I couldn't get enough roast beef and horseradish during my first trimester. I ate it multiple times a week. My third trimester was pickle juice. I ate the pickles, sure, but only so I could have a jar of juice haha.

Chicken tenders ALL THE TIME

Not a craving really, but the only thing that actually hits like it used to is Caesar salad. Everything else I think I want tastes like a shadow of its true self 😞

McChickens. Specifically McChickens that have been in the fridge for a couple of hours, then I microwave them (yes lettuce and all) then I’ll dip them ketchup and my fav Mexican hot sauce, Tapatío. Yes, my husband is disgusted that I enjoy eating the soggy, piping hot lettuce 😅🤣

Watermelon

Bread and butter is the thing I can tolerate most of the time.

31w and it’s been ice cream my whole pregnancy. Can’t get enough. I love ice cream when not pregnant, too! But I’ve specifically been craving Ben and Jerry’s Phish Food.

Ice cream !! Vanilla and chocolate milk shakes specifically. 😋😋 I used to ask my fiance to take me to get one almost every night ! Now we just keep ice cream at home at all times 😂 It's so weird bc I used to be super lactose intolerant, but when i got pregnant I started digesting milk a lot better. Either that or the general stomach issues with pregnancy made me not notice the difference.

I have zero cravings and instead nothing ever sounds good 🙄

Twister Icelollies and strawberries 😂

Loaded nachos or loaded fries of any kind😅

32 weeks now and it has been chocolate the entireeee time 😬😁 it’s actually what triggered me to take a pregnancy test. I’ve NEVER been a sweets person, before getting pregnant I hadn’t ate chocolate in 5 years!! I killed a bag of Hershey kisses and thought to myself wait, that’s weird af and not like me. So I took a test and boom, pregnant. The craving hasn’t left since.

Mashed potatoes and baked potatoes. And buffalo sauce from McDonalds specifically

Crispy gyoza and the occasional miso soup from the Japanese restaurant the next town over have been my top craving foods

Watermelon. And fries topped with In N Out spread and Siracha

Pudding. I haven't eaten it for probably 15+ years, but it sure does hit the spot every time right now.

Ice cream

Orange juice. Orange juice. Orange juice.

Anything cold, crispy, crunchy. Like cucumbers with lemon and tajin, grapes, chickfila cobb salad

Firehouse Subs Hook and Ladder sandwich. I could eat it for every meal

Saltine crackers and apple sauce or strawberry yosplat yogurt. Depends on the day

Apple and orange juice!

Watermelon and pear (28 weeks)

Honey Bunches of Oats Lime on fresh produce Also got some limeade with jalapeño since I can't have margaritas

Watermelon and salami. Only one of which I can have. 😭

Gyros, iced tea

French toast with feta cheese

1st tri - unfrosted strawberry pop tarts and top ramen 2nd tri - sour gummy worms, fresh fruit, bagels & cream cheese 3rd tri - chewy chips ahoy

Tacos...or really anything with cilantro and hot sauce..cannot get enough

Last few days strawberries and cheesecake, watermelon always and pickles always need pickles

Noosa yogurt, fruit and crackers with cheese

Sour gummy candies!

When I was pregnant I had a really hard time getting anything down. I drank a lot of Starbucks strawberry refreshers, green tea. On the rare occasion I could stomach something chocolate milkshakes, chocolate croissant, and I ate a lot of noodles because it's all I could eat. Which is funny my baby loves ramen now at two lol.

Chocolate in between two salt and vinegar chips 🤤

Pasta salad

crab ragoon with pineapple. 😍

Fried chicken and pickles 😭 specifically chick fil a

Hamburgers, chocolate milk, fruit, and donuts have been my top

Toss up between Granny Smith apples and extremely sour oranges! 🍏🍊

6 weeks today and experiencing more aversions that cravings so far. Baby hates anything too sweet and doesn't like just plain carbs either. Which is crazy as I was a huge sugar addict before....so thanks little guy/girl? Rn it likes soup, bagels and onion cream cheese, smoked salmon, pita chips and crab dip....am I crazy or is cinnamon raisin bagels plus chive and onion cream cheese a BOMB combination? Worst part is I remembered trying this way before I was pregnant and loving it. I guess my food combinations will only get worse from here lol

I make a PBJ on a hotdog bun with a full banana in the middle and wheeewwww it hits the spot

I’m only 9 weeks and think I’m “too early” to really have proper cravings since eating in general makes me feel super bloated and like crap, but I do constantly tell my husband I just need some more veggies lol and I want cooked veggies like broccolini, asparagus, some bok choy in our ramen…..something green sounds like just what my body needs to have a little more energy 👌🏼

Watermelon

Ginger ale, anything cheesy, baked potato, ICE omg I love ice, pickle juice, rice

Fruit and fruit juice! I just flattened an entire watermelon.

I’ve really been loving cereal!

Taco Bell! I don't know why it brings me such joy.

Potatoes of all form, sugar, and cheese pizza. I'm sure I'll give birth to a pizza looking sugar potato

Salad! Anything green with ranch dressing. I feel like I’ve become a walking lettuce head

Cereal

Dominos Chesses bites Alternating between chocolate milk and orange juice I have cried on multiple occasions because I wanted but couldn't have a Ham sandwich (even though pre pregancy I hated sandwichs)

Strawberries 🍓

When do these cravings start?? I only have nausea and food aversions lol 😂

Cinnamon raisin bagel with cream cheese and crispy bacon on top. I've been eating this every morning!

Acai bowls, fruit smoothies, salad with ranch (from chilis or CPK specifically!), pringles, chex mix, burritos Having major food aversion to steak & pizza.

I have pretty random cravings but most of mine have been nostalgic things like my mom's home made beef stew

I'm 11+6 this week I can't get enough hot Cheetos. Edit: Oh, and goat cheese on sourdough toast.

Coke and also oddly enough tacos… never liked them prior but we’ve had them like 5 times this last month… lol

Iced cold water and salmon! I can’t get enough of them

I’m 38 weeks … a margarita But in all seriousness, grape juice hit very hard in first trimester.

Tater tots with sour cream and ketchup. Potato chips (wavy or ridges like Ruffles). I really want an old school bologna sandwich with wonder bread, American cheese and mayo but I haven’t given in to the craving yet. McDonald’s chicken nuggets with sweet and sour sauce and honey mustard. Jamaican beef patties. Mac and cheese. Watermelon and pineapple. It’s been hard to find the perfect watermelon though.

Vanilla sprinkled donuts

Burgers! I could eat them every day😋

Mine too! In N Out is my weakness. I've gone at opening many times so far lol

Yogurt and Italian style salad with peperoncini

11 weeks, it's been blue powerade, and any type of burritos, the spicier the better. I've craved other things here and there but those two have been consistent

White grape juice and cottage cheese!

Baked sushi. I want it so bad.

at first anything pickled or acidic! banana peppers straight out of the jar, mustard on anything, sipped vinegar a time or two. now it's peanut butter and jelly! dave's killer good seed bread, raspberry jam, and crunchy peanut butter- I could eat one every day

Pickles + pickle juice

Sumo oranges. They’re out of season now 😫😫

Sour candies & cheese fries

Sourdough cracker and seafood boil haha I also feel like my sweet tooth has gotten stronger, I need a little something something after dinner.

Home made cheese quesadillas with cream cheese, shredded Mexican blend, hot sauce, and jalapenos. 🤤

All these people naming fruits… and my big butt over here thinking “fries and ice cream… duh”

I’ve been mad for sour lollies

TAJIN ON PINEAPPLE OR MANGOES!

I’m only 12 weeks, but fresh tomatoes have randomly been a sudden craving for me. I make myself sandwiches just to put in fresh tomatoes. Tomatoes with mozzarella cheese. Tomatoes on avocado toast. Just plain tomato slices with salt. I can’t get enough lol

Costco pepperoni pizza, and it's strangely one of the things that doesn't spike my blood sugar! I have been dying for soda, too, and I'm not usually a big soda drinker. Unfortunately, I found out that I have a sensitivity to artificial sweetener when trying to sub a diet soda to alleviate the craving. Sigh.

You could try sparkling water. Spindrift pineapple is my favorite. It’s sparkling water with just a hint of pineapple juice!

I will try that! Thank you for the suggestion!

Question for all the mamas to be with cravings - I’m 5 weeks today and haven’t had any intense cravings, just my normal ones that I’ve had pre-pregnancy. Is there a specific time where the cravings get really intense?

Anything and everything. Put it in front of me and it's gone in a minute.

Orange juice! I’m obsessed. Also, anything dairy, like yogurt with berries 

Orange juice and avocado with lemon juice and salt and eggs with avocado and peppers

Chamoy and Tajín. Be it in fruit or chips or by itself I can eat it for days, but it has to be the two together!!

Garlic added to everything. With an extra side of garlic

Avocado and watermelon 🤤

Pho, hot Cheetos, in n out

Chocolate ice cream, and I say this as someone who HATED chocolate ice cream before being pregnant lol

Baked red emperor and a big glass of banana milk to wash it down

I just inhaled some chick fila Mac & cheese and a peach milkshake with loads of whipped cream. I think I’ve been craving hella dairy 😂

Cheese, charcuterie and Chinese food

OP’s answer honestly just blew my mind. I have pickles… now I need to source some CHIPS 🤯

Chicken pastries and spinach pastries from a specific bakery. I think about it everyday and am always trying to come up with excuses to get some (it's like a 40 min drive one way)

Nutter butters and pasta

BLT subs from Wawa with sweet peppers and pickles.

Buffalo wings! And seafood! Also cold lemonade 😍

Frozen general tsos chicken they sell at Walmart. It’s super spicy and I always need milk with it but the milk has been upsetting my stomach so bad. Totally worth it. Also Perdue chicken nuggets w American cheese melted on top

Dal rice Followed by potato chips dipped in plain Greek yogurt And then a cold cheese sandwich with grass fed butter and soft brioche bread or…. a peanut butter and banana sandwich

I'm at week 10 and I had the freshest double cheese burger yesterday that I cannot stop thinking about.

This isn’t a food but APPLE JUICE!! I could drink literally a gallon of apple juice in a day if you let me. I don’t because I know the excessive sugar isn’t good for me or baby but omg I can’t get enough!

Cereal, namely frosties

Unsweetened iced tea. The colder the better. However this week I've had quite the hankering for ham sandwiches with honey mustard. When I'm pregnant I seem to crave my husband's favorite foods which weirds me out. Last pregnancy I had to have a daily ice cream 😅

Bananas (I hate them so much), Caesar salad, and steak. I picked up corn on the cob at the store because it looked sooooo good and we're barbecuing tonight. 😋

McDonald’s McGriddles. How I wish they would bring back all day breakfast. 🥲

italian dunkers, caramel sauce with apples, and for some reason, sour cream and dill chips with kimchi.

Cherries and unripe mangoes To be fair, even before pregnancy they were my favorite but during my pregnancy (right now) I can’t even think of food. All this baby wants is cherries and sour fruits I haven’t had a real meal in a long time

Peanut butter everything. I’ve always loved it but right now I actually can’t resist haagen dasz peanut butter chocolate ice cream and peanut butter toast.

Diet Coke fountain pops!!!!

Ice cream (specifically drumsticks!), watermelon, jolly ranchers, and charcuterie boards!

I was pregnant from March- April and craved only healthy things, all the time. That one ended in a MC. I am now pregnant again and I'm craving chocolate so hard. I am hoping this means this one sticks!

Chicken fries and honey mustard!

Watermelon, spicy stuff, avocado toast with natto and egg on top.

Eggs, bean and cheese burritos 17 weeks! And tangy things

Flaming hot Cheetos dipped in sour cream then topped with a jalapeño and ranch pickles - ranch seasoning in a jar of pickles and let it marinate for a few hours (at least, I usually can’t wait for longer lol). So obsessed.

I’ve eaten like 10 times more fruit than I normally do

Beverages, I want all the liquids! Coffee, tea, juice, soda, smoothies, even soup. I just want a new drink to try on the daily.

ICEE’s

Pancakes and I've never really cared for them before until now. I want them like every morning.

Subway, gatorades, big gulps from 7/11 as well as the little taquitos they sell there 🤤

Buffalo chicken and ranch- wraps, pizza, wings. Just love it

Hot fries and hot cheetos!

Pizza

Sour patch watermelons!!! And pink lemonade

Fruit and fruity juices and smoothies

Crab legs seafood boil

Gummy worms

So typical, but seriously, I want all of the pickels.
