My 20 yr old daughter is pregnant and is eating the stangest things like hot chips dipped in icecream and chocolate sauce and pickles and icecream and vegemite and raw garlic sandwiches. What kinds of food did you eat while you were pregnant?

Early in pregnancy it was watermelon. I ate an entire watermelon in one day! Also fresh tomatoes and peaches... i couldn't get enough! If it were watermelon season right now I'd probably still be eating a ton of it. A few weeks ago i went through a French toast phase.. actually, that sounds good right now... The biggest craving has been for grapefruit. Yesterday I ate 5 grapefruit, today just 2, but I buy them three bags at a time so I always have them around. I crave vinegar as well... pickled beets are my favorite. I just buy the cans of whole or sliced beets and my husband will pickle them for me... i even drink the juice!

My daughter is going for the fresh fruit and veg but also chocolate on and off, but it is looking like she may have gestational diabetes, so it will be change of diet for her bigtime.

CHEESE and dairy!!! I could eat cheese (string cheese, american cheese, blocks of cheese, fondu, whatever) all day long and still want more. I used to take string cheese to work to snack on and would eat 6-10 per day. I also remember craving fruit, although I'm not usually a big fruit eater. Oh, and crab rangoon!!! I'm sure there were other things but those are the ones I remember the most vividly.

My absolute favorite thing in the world was Funions chips and dill pickles. Together. I loved it. Sour, crunchy and salty all at once. It grossed my husband, and my co-workers out to no end. Sadly, I liked it well enough, I will still eat it from time to time and he is 6 months old now. LOL

Mine weren't too bad. I craved hash browns, and the potato and gravy you get from KFC.

I never really craved anything weird, just a bunch of salty stuff and sweets- I am pregnant right now and have been craving mcdonalds, pizza, tacos, ice cream, mexican food, chinese food.
