no cravings - 2nd tri

[IndiaInk]

Does anyone else not really have any cravings?  People are always asking what my pregnancy cravings have been and I really have no answer.  I pretty much eat like I always have.  I'm not saying I'm totally healthy by any means.  Our diet is generally healthy, but I made 3 dozen pumpkin/oatmeal cookies a few days ago and I've scarfed most of them.  I just wouldn't call that a craving - it's just me being a porker.  Anyone else not craving much in particular?

I haven't really had cravings either. I've definitely had aversions!

[Deleted]

I haven't had any cravings. I had a lot of food aversions in the beginning, but I pretty much eat the same as before (minus all the food restrictions)

I had a ton of cravings all through first tri and about half of second. I still get them now and again, but I can't indulge.

btw, those cookies sound amazing!

I never had strong cravings for anything in particular either, but I have been wanting junk food/sweets/carbs more than healthy stuff. Which isn't that weird for me, I like me some bad food but usually I hold back and eat healthy for the most part. However, my aversions to healthy foods and certain things (like bacon) have been pretty strong! They are better now in the 2nd tri, but in the first tri pretty much nothing healthy sounded remotely good.

They are!  Plus, pumpkin has lots of Vitamin A, so they're totally good for me right?

Mine calmed down for the second trimester. The second trimester is pretty boring

Now I get cravings again is T3. All I wanted all week was a BLT, once I got that now all I want is coconut shrimp...

[catsarecute]

I went through a phase when all I wanted was mac and cheese but really, that could be me at any point in my life. I'm 26 weeks and don't think I've had any cravings that I'd always heard pregnant women have. I also don't think I had aversions to food or smells. I guess I got lucky!?

I had strong cravings in the first trimester (spicy food, grapefruit, hot pickled peppers and that one time when I just couldn't get candy pumpkins out of my head and had to drop everything and go to CVS). I also had strong aversions. Everything subsided in the second trimester.

The only thing I've really craved is sugar. Sugar, sugar, sugar. Which is weird for me since I usually crave salty things. Your talk of pumpkin cookies has me on the hunt for a cookie now.

[pinotgrig]

Not so far. I ate a lot of pineapple and drank a lot of chocolate milk over the course of a couple days (together) and H thought that was weird.

I had "safe" foods in the 1st tri, but that was more normal food that just sounded really good and was things like cheeseburgers, pizza, and mashed potatoes. I didn't have m/s in the first tri, more just food aversions. And honestly, my diet consists of those things pretty regularly.

I still never really had any cravings. All my friends would talk about running out in the middle of the night to get stuff and I never had anything like that. I have certainly been wanting more of what I liked before (chocolate/sweets) and not had a desire to eat as healthy as I did before, but nothing really unusual. Cooking does not appeal to me at all though (not that it did much before though).

Also, I have been eating more ice cream/milk because its soothing for heartburn, but its not an OMG I have to have that craving feeling.

[daisycat]

No cravings for me either - unless you call my recent donut binge a craving. But that is really about it. I have way more food aversions that have been pretty consistent first and second tri.

[shaynaatl]

3rd tri here and no cravings. On the bright side, I've gained less weight than I expected.

[Cricket0619]

I didn't have any particular cravings, but I always thought carbs and salty food sounded good, but I have always like those.

[pitterwoo]

Oh no, I've had and am having a bunch of cravings. Not usually the run out and get immediately kind, but there was some of that in the first tri.

Most recently it was milk and I was going through a half gallon every other day. Now I'm loving citrus fruits all the time.

First tri cravings were all unhealthy foods like cheddar popcorn.

[pixiedust]

No real cravings. Very susceptible to the power of suggestion (DH: "Let's have tacos!" Me: "YES!"), but nothing beyond that. No aversions, though, so I guess that's something. I've gained a bunch of weight, though, so I guess I'm just eating more of the same things.

This is me. Sugar, all the time. I'm trying to not always cave, but sometimes fruit just doesn't cut it. My aversions are finally going away, but my appetite is still pretty non-existent overall. Every now and then, though, I'll eat something and think, "Man, that was JUST what I wanted!" lol

[SJ]

I haven't really had cravings or aversions.

[lobstertail]

Not really craving anything here, either. I've basically been eating what I normally eat for this whole pregnancy, with some food aversions in the first tri. I did want some orange Gatorade, though, but the desire wasn't enough to make me go out and buy some.

This is me! It makes me pretty frustrated when DH mentions something and then changes his mind. That first suggestion is in my head and I will usually crave it for days until I get it.

People always ask if I have cravings and I haven't so far. I have been eating more sweets than normal but can't say I have had strong cravings for a specific thing.

This. I haven't had any cravings, but I want whatever I see on tv.

I had mad aversions to eggs and meat for the first 24 weeks though.

[bowies]

I'm having more aversions than cravings. And even my cravings are more about "yep, I could eat that" than "must have noooowwww." The mild cravings I've had are all healthy things because I'm weird like that - milk, oranges, fruit in general (cantaloupe is my BFF), and green olives. Though there was Taco Bell week - my poor H begged for relief.

[speckledfrog]

I didn't have any cravings with my first pregnancy.

Me too! Mac and cheese 24/7 . I ate it all the time before being pregnant and now it's been amplified. May I suggest the Whole Foods hot bar for a great one or of course there's always the perfect box of Annie's!

Pretty much all of this for me too.

[cookietime]

I haven't been craving anything that I didn't already enjoy eating before. Lots of aversions my first trimester, but as I'm getting further into the second I'm reintroducing food and enjoying everything a lot more. I did start eating yogurt with fruit and granola again (I used to eat it regularly for breakfast and then in the first trimester it just sounded disgusting), and right now it's the BEST-tasting thing.

[laurack]

I don't have cravings per se I just have less willpower
