Cravings vent

Uh, this week I started my cravings/aversions. The only things that don't make me queasy are salty carbs basically I crave bad things like chips, bacon (mmm BLT's), pickles, soup, pasta w/ butter & soup w/ crackers. I also can only drink carbonated drinks. Water makes me gag and I know it's so bad to have all this salt so I'm trying to drink alot of plain seltzer. I'm so scared I am going to blow up like a balloon!

On the other hand, I can't even smell anything sweet or chocolate. I guess this isn't bad, but it is a major change for me! I wish I could crave fruits & veggies!!!!!

Re: Cravings vent

its normal...it'll change as the preg goes on. i loved pickles n cheese in teh beginning, now just cheese. i couldn't stand the smell of chopped meat or sauce for 4.5 mos or so, now i can make it and eat it w/out a problem. hold on and this too shall pass..it'll be fine!

Re: Cravings vent

It passes...I couldn't even THINK about chicken in my early pregnancy...now I am okay with it..

And I went through phases where I craved all the bad stuff then phases where I only wanted fruits and veggies...

Hang in there!!

Like everyone said....it passes. In the beginning the smell of chinese food and A1 sause had me running to the bathroom. Now I can eat both.

I also craved salty food and that isn't going away! I though that the potato chip fetish was only to help my m/s but now that I don't have m/s anymore I still want to eat them!

Re: Cravings vent

All I wanted was carbs as well. I HATED chicken. Now I can handle it.

Re: Cravings vent

My aversions never really went away. But I only had a few. I can't stand popcorn (something to do with the melted butter smell) or fresh lemon. Wine made my stomach turn if it was anywhere near me in the first half of pregnancy, but that's okay now. I was pretty lucky.
