ALL I wanted to eat while pregnant was mexican food. Didn't matter where it was from. I could eat from Taco Bell to a real authentic mexican restaurant. I wanted it everyday and that's why I gained 46lbs!

When I was pregnant my top cravings were, salmon sashimi, almonds, banana and apple with whipped cream, chocolates and nido soup with egg.. But generally I loved eating that when I was about to give birth I ended up having C-section coz my baby was just too heavy..

My wife crave for chocolate and some sweets when she was pregnant. Sometimes we argue because she always ate those sweets that she was craving. In the end I just let her ate because its not good to argue with my wife when she was still pregnant.

When i was pregnant with my 1st baby, i always crave four mangoes that arent ripe, i liked to dipped it in a mixture of fish sauce and very sour vinegar. When with my 2nd baby, i really like to eat "sisig" or grilled pork's internals and meat mixed with onions and with sauce of soy sauce, calamansi juice, salt.

Wow, good topic. I think that I had one and only one craving while i was pregnant, that was SPAGETTIO'S. I loved spaggettio's they drived me crazy, the were soo good. Lol, now its really hard to eat a whole bunch of them. I also noticed that they made me gain wieght like crazy, so I advize no spagettio's.

Just started a discussion on this very topic. Guess I should look more closely before starting discussions, but the strangest thing I ever craved was pickled beets! Maybe it had something to do with the iron content, but I just really like the taste of them. I still like them even though I ate enough of them during pregnancy to make myself sick, sick, sick!

I craved ice more than any food out there. But, now I can't even stand the look of it. I think I craved Italian food alot and anything with beans. Ahh!! I have missed those days.

Oh yes when I used to be pregnant I used to crave for chocolate as well, I also used to eat quite a lot of bananas and especially with my last child I loved all kinds of seafood, and my youngest daughter still craves for seafood today I wonder what she will crave for when she has her first child.

The only craving I really had was chocolate ice cream with strawberries on it. You should have seen the look I would get when I would go into a restaurant and tell the waitress that is what I wanted for dessert. They would walk away shaking their head. That was a long time since I was pregnant but you know every now and then I will get that craving again and it doesn't go away until I get some.

This one I know is really odd. Everytime I was pregnant I ate red licorice dipped in french onion dip. It tastes pretty good really. I admit once in a while now I get that same craving yet having had a baby in 12 years. I think I get it about once a year.*L* Must be hormones or something.

Well, I am not pregnant now, but with both of my pregnancies the only craving that I had was ice. I wanted to crunch ice all the time and since my last child was born (10 yrs ago) I still crave it. I have had to have dental work done because of it but I still want to eat it. The doctor says that it is due to an iron defiency but I can't take iron pills as they cause me to have severe stomach pain. I eat plenty of green veggies so I should not be low iron, but I am.

Not all women get cravings, i didn't have any although there was a tuna pasta dish that i LOVED which i couldn't handle eating. It's a bit odd coz i can eat it just fine again now so i can only guess that my daughter didn't like me eating it while she was in there! Otherwise, i ate everything i normally at & since the weather was cool, i found myself eating a lot of buttered pop corn too - maybe that was a craving but maybe it was just that i liked it while it was colder! I'm pretty sure i also ate more Dorito's (cheesey corn chips) than usual but they were full of flavour so maybe i just needed lots of flavour!!!

I remember I craved for Bigmac most of the time and we still didn't know I was pregnant then! :p And then as weeks passed, I didn't like it that much anymore because I wanted to have macaroni salad and barbeque instead.

When I was pregnant with my eldeest, I crave for something sour like green mangoes, tamarind and santol.But on my 2nd pregnancy, I want to eat something sweet so I let my hubby buy me chocolates, lots of them! and also ice cream and chocolate cakes. When I'm tired of eating those sweets, I then crave for fruits that belong to the cantaloupe family like watermelon, turnips, pomelos and also very cold drinks that have the color of red.

oh when I was pregnant with my first child, I loved santol and buco (coconut)and I was a very hearty eater. But with my second child I hardly can eat at all since all the food I would take in I would just vomit out. I was so nauseated that I could hardly eat anything. I think for every pregnancy, even with the same mommy, different cravings or non cravings (hehehe) occur and it depends upon each pregnancy what one will want during this time

With my first child it was mozzeralla sticks and movie theatre popcorn. I didn't care to go to a movie but i made my husband go and get me the popcorn. My second one it was steak until I was 4 months pregnant and for some reason I haven't been able to eat it again.

when i was pregnant i was craving for chocolates, and crispy pata. My day will not be complete if i dont eat the foods i like. But i usually hold the nose of my husband if i didnt eat the foods im craving because when i was pregnant all the sweets are not allowed.
