I just graved everthing I was already eating; just wanted it more often. Lasagna, Ceaser Salad, Pizza, Roast Beef, etc.
I know of a young lady who lived my home town of Atikokan, ON Canada; who craved Buckley's Syrup. She drank a bottle a day. The baby girl was born perfectly healthy.

With my first pregnancy, I had only aversions: orange juice, green veggies and the mere smell of take-out Chinese food all made me gag. With my second (twins), I craved hamburgers, steaks, red meat in general and couldn't stomach anything sweet (turns out I had gestational diabetes and an iron deficiency this time around, so my body knew EXACTLY what it needed - very cool).

Mine was pretty typical... I polished off 2 jars of pickles a week... by myself. And, they had to either be Clausen brand or Nathan's brand; those are the ones kept in the refrigerator. Super cold, crisp, and yummy. I also ate a lot of marshmallow creme. :)

So baby Joey didn't like fast foods at all. The smell would even send me running to the bathroom. So one day I was told bananas would help with smells and that's all I craved from that moment on. It wasn't chocolate covered or fresh bananas. Just banana chips all day and night. Thus bringing on baby Joeys nickname monkey boy. I don't crave them anymore bu he loves them to death!!! :)

I craved strawberries, fish sticks and sour cream all at the same time. The best thing is that I didn't even like sour cream or fish sticks at that time. I couldn't eat anything sweet it just made me sick. To this day both of my children don't eat sweet things mainly fruit. I can't complain it is a good thing.

BE VERY CAREFUL!!! During my last pregnancy, I craved soft swirl ice cream. I must have overdosed on calcium, because my son, now 33, is 6'6" and wears a size 16 shoe!! I should have had shrimp! LOL!!

I just craved more of what I was already eating; Lasagna, Pizza, Ceaser Salad, etc. There was a lady in my small town of Atikokan, ON Canada who craved Buckley's Syrup. She had to drink a bottle a day to satisfy her craving. Now that is unusual. Don't worry her daughter was perfectly fine.
