With my first, I wanted sushi ginger. And, of course, anything I wasn't supposed to eat. Raw-fish sushi when I first got pregnant, and doughuts and french fries when I found out I had gallstones and then gestational diabetes. With my second, cheeseburgers.

With my first son it was nothing but french fries and frosted flakes (cereal) throughout my whole pregnancy. With this pregnancy it has been alot of different things.. at first it was chicken (lots and lots of chicken.. and i hate chicken lol), fish, grilled cheese and tomato soup, fruit (oranges mostly), and lots of water. Now is all i can think about is cinnamon rolls... ill make a dinner for my fiancee and i sit and eat cinnamon rolls.. its pathetic.. lol

In my last couple of months I had the strongest cravings for the coffee frappaccinos they sell at the Costco food court. I was never into them before I was pregnant and for some reason a frap from Starbucks or anywhere else would not take care of the craving. I had to get one every day - at least once, no matter what. I would go on my luch break at work, stop on the way home, weekends. I remember freaking out because I realized they were going to be closed on labor day and I didn't know what I was going to do! haha

ICE and FREEZIES
I was addicted I would chew on ice all day and night I would go through one of those bags you buy at the store in 2 days easy. The Ice tasted alot different than how it does when I wasnt prego it was the most satisfying thing to me. My husband wanted to kill me , b/c its so loud. I started substituting with freezies , but only the purple white and pink ones . I know im iron deficient the doctor said thats why i craved ice but this was excessive. Now you wont even see me look at ice or freezies

ùwhen i was pregnant I wanted icecream constantly and loved to snack on grapes and pretzels, i would tell ppl it was the perfect snack with the salty dry pretzels and sweet juicy grapes, i also would dream of wierd drink combinations like fruit punch gatoraded and monster energy drinks and wake up craving them reallly bad :P

i never had wierd cravings. but i had really bad food aversions. like i couldnt eat milk or anything that had milk on it. i had to drain my cereal lol. my big thing was id eat the same thing for like a month straight. like i ate nothing but top ramen, then nothing but pancakes, then cereal (all the sudden i needed milk all th etime lol) and finally all id eat were spagettos.

Michelle, I know the feeling. But for me it wasn't Red Bull, it was, and still is, Monster Energy Drinks. I LOVE them and they were helpful because for most of my pregnancy I was working carzy hours and getting 3-4 hours of sleep a day so I wanted and felt like I needed it. But my doctor said that because I am a borderline diabetic that drinking even an ounce during pregnancy could put my daughter or myself at risk. :-(

I liked Mcdonalds chips dipped in icecream sundae!

All I wanted was Potoatoes, American Hotdogs and American Mustard on everything even as a sandwich spread

Potato salad and Fiesta Taco Salads from Taco Bell.

The worst one though, was the Red Bull. We all know that's not allowed. Well I LOVE Red Bull, always have, always will. When I was pregnant I used to get the craving for it so bad that I wanted to rip my hair out. It got so bad that I called my doctor crying because I couldn't think about anything else, and she told me that I could go get one of the tiny cans and drink half of it.... *sigh* worst.

And Ashlyn, no offense, but mashed potatoes with mayo is pretty damn weird lol.....
