With my first (girl), I craved grapefruit and strawberries. With my second (boy), I wanted Chinese food all the time - especially hot and sour soup. With my third (boy), I craved waffles and watermelon - but luckily not together. I guess its no surprise that I gained less weight the first time around.
[name]Baby[/name] #1-craved sugar like crazy-and I’m not a big fan. [name]Baby[/name] #2-no cravings but after I had her-I crave ground pepper big time. The smell of it, the taste of it. That craving is still holding out. No cravings other than the pepper with #3 so far.
With #1 (boy) I craved peanut butter, too. And chocolate. With #2 I craved guacamole big time, and the first four weeks of pregnancy or so, I had it many times a day. I didn’t understand the craving until around the end of week 4 when I took the pregnancy test. After that, I didn’t crave much except crushed ice. I’ve heard craving ice is bad, but I’m not sure why.
With DD #1 I craved salty chips, chocolate, fizzy water, and iced tea. With DD #2, I craved fruit juice, fresh breadrolls, heavy hearty soups and stews, etc. Very different cravings for me!
I gained more weight during my second pregnancy than my first.
