Pregnancy food cravings

Are you having cravings now that you’re pregnant? Some women never experience cravings, while others crave the oddest things.
My cravings weren’t that over the top. With my first one, I wanted needed Cherry Blossoms. I think I single-handedly provided the candy company with its annual profits that year. Every time my husband went out, he’d come home with a Cherry Blossom for me.
With my second pregnancy, I wanted needed Swedish raspberries. Those are the little red jelly-like candies. We had a corner store that sold penny candy and I every time I needed milk or something, I would be sure to buy a dollar’s worth. Oddly enough, I can’t recall if I had any cravings the third time around.
This article, Pregnant women have the oddest food cravings!, describes some of the more unusual cravings.

I haven’t had too many odd cravings yet. But the ice cream I LOVE normally, has been sitting in the freezer over a week, and I have no appetite for it. But I feel like cold foods, salad, pasta salad, and beef, which is odd because I don’t really eat much beef. I was vegetarian for a while, but when we wanted to get pregnant I stopped, and started having more chicken and some beef (only if we were out for dinner though). Now I can’t handle the chicken and I LOVE the beef! Eggs still make me gag though!
I was thinking of my past fav (not during pregnancy) pickles, cheddar cheese and melba toast… MmMm, I’m going to have to get some soon!
