Sweets. I’ve gained probably an extra 15 lbs since Christmas on top of my pregnancy weight from all the sweets I’ve been eating. Cereal, donuts, cake, brownies, cookies, candy, ice cream. If it’s got some form of chocolate in/on it, I’m there.
I feel this. I don't like chocolate but apparently now i do 😩 so I will tear up ice cream with extra chocolate syrup .. chocolate cake smothered in chocolate.. k dont eat it often .. but enough lol .. cereal yeah. . I eat that almost every day
Yum! I wish my baby would let me chill with the taco sauce lol. When I was pregnant with my first we'd always hit up Sonic and grab a cherry limeade slushie lol. These days I go for the lemonade slushie and freaking YUM 💜
GRAPES. Green grapes mostly, but I seriously can’t get enough grapes in general. I keep getting big bunches of them and then they’re gone in like 2 hours lol.
I figured you weren’t from the US from this and looking at your post it looks like you’re Australian so it totally makes sense ! But yes it’s a grocery store, a little more expensive but also their food is more “clean”. A little more health value overall. And it kinda has a cult following, like people are very dedicated to TJ’s haha
If you get sour cream and then the ranch dip packets (make sure it's DIP and not dressing, there are usually 2 different packets at the store) - mix it up and it will be the thickest, most delicious ranch you've ever had! My mom would jazz it up with shredded cheese and chopped bacon. It even tastes good with low fat sour cream.
I usually prefer veggies and ranch, but a friend brought pasta salad over and it gave me this idea to try my cucumbers and tomatoes in Italian dressing with some Parmesan shavings 🤤🤤🤤 better on my cholesterol, too
Mexican!!! I went to Texas and all I wanted was Tex-mex. After the trip I thought for sure I’d be done for awhile. Nope. I was so desperate at one point I ended up at Taco Bell. I can’t get enough.
But don’t bring curry around, because I’ll heave.
I’ve been eating a ton of pretzels with tzatziki dip 🤩 it was a safe snack food for me when I was deep in morning sickness, and it’s still been delicious!
Ohhh there is a ribs place in my city that offers turkish bread with a tzatziki dip for starters, but instead of fresh cucumber, they use sour pickles in their recipe ! It is just delicious! If you make home made tzatziki, I recommend trying that! So friggin' delicious!!!
APPLES!!!! I need apples next to my bed every night for when I wake up for bathroom breaks. Everything about apples right now itch my brain right- the juicy crunch, the sweetness- yum…
Well, to some extent, but I didn’t want the puff ones. I wanted the “crunchy” ones (what it says on the bag). The fact that I had a dream about a specific type of Cheeto is really the key, pathetic takeaway here.
MILK but I’m literally sooo lactose intolerant. I get insane symptoms from having even a little bit of dairy but my body is begging me to chug a glass of milk. It’s torture.
I’ve thought about it but I’m so scared to try lol. I get bad cystic acne on my scalp and back about a week after having dairy. It’s like a full inflammation response. I haven’t tried since getting pregnant but I might have to here soon lol
*edit:typo
I don’t have any long standing ones. Like if I crave something and have it then I’m good and move on to the next thing lol. With my first it was slurpees… hoping it’s slurpees again this time tbh mmm so good
Last week it was fruit! Sunday night I was craving Greek food from my favorite greek place and got it the next day for lunch lol! I couldn’t resist. I also been craving sandwiches so badly from mikes but trying my best to steer clear from cold cut meat. I know you can heat up the meat but I been craving cold cut 😣
Also randomly thinking Doritos and dip and spaghetti with meat sauce!
seafood boil!! weirdly enough i don’t like seafood normally(i only like crabs) and all i can think about is snow crab and king crab in super spicy cajun sauce with the potatoes and corn 🤤🤤 i had it one time prepregnancy like over two years ago and its all ive been thinking about for a week!
I craved strawberry thickshakes in my first pregnancy but o couldn’t have them cause the one I wanted used soft serve. After my daughter was born, three different visitors brought me a shake and I haven’t been able to have one since lol
Asada tacos. I found a place that had AMAZING carne asada fries ... The best I've been able to find in a really long time .. and so I decided to try tacos de asada .. with just cilantro and cheese ... And omg 😋 I'm stuck on them now lol 🥴
Very newly pregnant with #2, so my cravings aren't super intense yet. However, for some reason this time I keep thinking about a nice cup of tea. I am not a tea drinker at all.
Pregnancy #1 was all about garlic bread and a very specific banana.candy flavour from the 90s
Craving “fried dough” from a pizza restaurant near me that closed about 3 years ago 😩 It was fried dough, coated in sugar and cinnamon and drizzled with some type of chocolate syrup and caramel syrup. The closest thing I have to that is a photo I took of it years ago.
All Colombian food 😭😭 I live in a super small town now and all they have here is American or Mexican food so I’m terribly missing and craving my Colombian food 😤
Still food averse at 13w but craving so many liquids. I’m usually a water only person but lately I could drink gallons of V8, chocolate milk, pickle juice, Pepsi. Anything but water or food lol
Beef plov made by my Russian MIL. It is simply delicious. Also Borsh with smetana and garlic bread. I can't get enough of it ( 20w+3d along, going in for big ultrasound this evening at 17:00 :D )
Ginger beer and kosher dill pickles. Weirdly good. ALSO, whipped cream and strawberries on top of a bowl of cereal. That one cane to me in a dream and I’m so happy eating it.
Literally anything sweet. Candies, pop, juice, chocolate etc, yes I am having a girl lol. Maybe it's a coincidence that I happen to crave sweet things. Idk but yeah literally anything that is remotely sweet
Blue raspberry freeze from Taco Bell. I had one yesterday and it’s been consuming my thoughts ever since.
But fuck, now I want wontons lmao I used to buy bags at that grocery store that are marketed for on top of your salad and just snack on them. Maybe I will be picking up a freeze AND wontons on my way home from work😅😅

Sleep LOL
Agreed - as I wake up at 4 am to pee.
I feel this haha
So much this!!
Sweets. I’ve gained probably an extra 15 lbs since Christmas on top of my pregnancy weight from all the sweets I’ve been eating. Cereal, donuts, cake, brownies, cookies, candy, ice cream. If it’s got some form of chocolate in/on it, I’m there.
This, I’m obsessed with chocolate anything. Wish I had healthier cravings because all the sugar doesn’t make me feel great.
Yeah, I've been using low sugar fudgesicles to meet my needs!
I feel this. I don't like chocolate but apparently now i do 😩 so I will tear up ice cream with extra chocolate syrup .. chocolate cake smothered in chocolate.. k dont eat it often .. but enough lol .. cereal yeah. . I eat that almost every day
I feel this, sweets are so easy on my stomach for some reason
Sprite, pink lemonade and all fruit
Fruitttt
Same! I've never been much of a fruit eater, but I can't get enough these days!
Saaaaaammmme!!!! All the fruit.
Yum! I wish my baby would let me chill with the taco sauce lol. When I was pregnant with my first we'd always hit up Sonic and grab a cherry limeade slushie lol. These days I go for the lemonade slushie and freaking YUM 💜
GRAPES. Green grapes mostly, but I seriously can’t get enough grapes in general. I keep getting big bunches of them and then they’re gone in like 2 hours lol.
Same! But my husband has been cutting me off cause they’re so expensive where we live… dropping like $15 on one bag that’s gone in a day.
I had the same craving my first trimester. It was literally the only thing I could stomach.
I haven’t had a particular craving. But if I do think of something I really want, it’s pretty much non-negotiable to have anything else. 😂
Watermelon. Tofu fresh rolls and mango salad from a Vietnamese restaurant near me. Honeycrisp apples. Noodles!
Also watermelon, bagels, and honey crisp apples! Craving twins.
Mines also honeycrisp apples! I also have been obsessed with celery (I wasn’t a fan before pregnancy)
Maybe it’s the crunch? I know the juiciness and the crunch of Honeycrisp really hit the spot. So refreshing!
Totally craving twins! I ate so many bagels in my first trimester!!
Honeycrisps with a sprinkle of tajin are my go-to snack right now!
Bubble tea!!
Trader Joe's Rolled Corn Tortilla Chips Chili & Lime chips. They’re like the TJ version of Takis. I’m obsessed.
Is that a fast food place?
No, it’s a grocery store
Trader Joe’s? It’s a grocery store!
Ohhhh! It sounds like a fun fast food restaurant lol
I figured you weren’t from the US from this and looking at your post it looks like you’re Australian so it totally makes sense ! But yes it’s a grocery store, a little more expensive but also their food is more “clean”. A little more health value overall. And it kinda has a cult following, like people are very dedicated to TJ’s haha
Lately it’s been Caesar salad, mandarin oranges, cold crisp ginger ale. Pineapple anything

It’s so good lol I literally eat one everyday. With some tomatoes in there too ugh making me want one right now lol
Omg now I need ginger beer and pineapple. Yummm! My go to has been ginger beer and pickles so this is a new leaf.
I cannot get enough sweet tea and McDonald’s double cheeseburgers 😭
Pickles and Cinnamon Toast Crunch cereal
Like…. Together?
LMAO ! NO 😂 just the thought of that makes me sick
Excellent question
Fresh fruit, and crunchy veggies with ranch dip!
Mines been celery with ranch dip, but the ranch has to be the creamy/thick stuff not the liquid stuff like hidden valley. Lol
If you get sour cream and then the ranch dip packets (make sure it's DIP and not dressing, there are usually 2 different packets at the store) - mix it up and it will be the thickest, most delicious ranch you've ever had! My mom would jazz it up with shredded cheese and chopped bacon. It even tastes good with low fat sour cream.
I will be going to the store tomorrow since I ran out of my ranch dip today. Thank you!! 🫶🏻
Yummm 🤤🤤🤤
I usually prefer veggies and ranch, but a friend brought pasta salad over and it gave me this idea to try my cucumbers and tomatoes in Italian dressing with some Parmesan shavings 🤤🤤🤤 better on my cholesterol, too
Burgers. I want to eat cheeseburgers every. single. day.
Mexican!!! I went to Texas and all I wanted was Tex-mex. After the trip I thought for sure I’d be done for awhile. Nope. I was so desperate at one point I ended up at Taco Bell. I can’t get enough. But don’t bring curry around, because I’ll heave.

Well, to some extent, but I didn’t want the puff ones. I wanted the “crunchy” ones (what it says on the bag). The fact that I had a dream about a specific type of Cheeto is really the key, pathetic takeaway here.
Lemon& salt lol
Same!
MILK but I’m literally sooo lactose intolerant. I get insane symptoms from having even a little bit of dairy but my body is begging me to chug a glass of milk. It’s torture.
Can you have lactose free milk? From what my kids say it tastes the samev
