Weird Cravings? (While Pregnant)

It started off with Taco Bell Enchiritos, then moved to Vinegar and Salt Chips and Cherry Icees.Then phase 2 was the time of Cocoa Crispies...like, every meal, a box a day!

Towards the end, things got a little odd. I craved ice (due to lower iron, I was told). Not soft, half melted ice--ANY ice. To the point that I would munch on it until my toungue would go numb and actually bleed! I also LOVED the way odd things smelled...like magic markers and the tire section at Wal-Mart and mostly new carpet? My husband had gotten new car mats that had a strong, new carpet smell and I would just go sit in his truck smelling them and eating ice!

Could have been worse...I had a friend that craved dirt (yes, dirt) when she was pregnant!

MMMMMmmm...tires....lol! I was the same way with smells. I liked glue too, good thing I didn't go around sniffing it all the time...

The odd thing was I had an aversion to chicken, raw or cooked. I had to ban chicken from the house. If I saw it or smelt it or if someone even said chicken then I would throw up. My (x) husband tried to sneak chicken into the house and shoved it way back in the freezer... I found it, it was'nt pretty!!! I can eat chicken now but the first time I ate it after I delivered Mia was pretty scary. I was scared that I was going to puke on everyone!!!

Towards the end of mine I ate alot of mashed potatoes & corn! I loved it! I had an aversion to applesauce! It was the one thing that made me sick. I still can't eat it!

Mine aren't too weird. Bacon with both girls, I'd eat the whole package. Kidlet number 1 was grapes, grape soda, anything grape flavored and M&M's.

Second kidlet was orange soda and sunflower seeds and of course, the bacon.

This brought back such memories! I didn't have weird cravings, but I remember how incredibly STRONG they were, like I could not live without the stuff I wanted! With my son, Kevin it was watermelon. Only problem is, he was a winter baby, so we were paying premium prices! I think I ate a whole watermelon every day. I still like it, but it doesn't feel like I'll DIE if I don't get some! With Megan it was McDonalds Chicken Cesar Salad. I ate it for lunch every single day and three or four days a week I ate it for dinner, too! And there was more than a few midnight runs! I remember bursting in to tears because they had run out of the cesar dressing! (Love those hormones).

Well I have never been pregnant but I remember when my mom was pregnant with my youngest sister everynight she would fix fried potatoes for dinner! Just the smell of them makes me sick half the time! I ate them for lunch today, but I havent ate them in a long time! We never asked what we were having for dinner bc we always knew what the answer was!
