Q: Anyone having any cravings they cant get enough of????

Okay so im nearly 13wks pregnant now!!! Ive had my appitite back now for like 3 wks now. I still cant eat or stomach meat, junk food, or vegetables at all!!! :( My body is CRAVING FRUIT and I seriously cant get enough of it... For lunch I can force myself to have a grilled chicken salad with italian dressing... and I LOVE my 1% milk with frosted flakes and a banana... Yum that is seriously my breakfast and lunch. I also drink a ton of water... I have no nausea symptoms or anything. I cant even stand the thought of any type of salty food or bread etc... My friend just told me that fruit craving and not being able to get enough may be a sign of gestational diabeties.... I am now concerned to as if this is true... Anyone finding it hard to get foods down they used to love too??? I want asparagus and so many other steamed vegs yet when I see them I just cant get myself to eat them... Its really sad I go right back to my fruit...

Chicken was my favourite meat until I found out I was pregnant at 6 weeks. Now just the thought makes my skin crawl.

I haven't eaten chicken or it's babies in 16 weeks now and to be honest I kind of miss the chicken but still couldn't bring myself to eat it.

Cheerios on the other hand I can't get enough of even though I hate milk. I force myself to have milk just so I can enjoy my cheerios.

My boyfriend noticed that I can't get enough of pickles and jalapeÃ±os. Just so darn yummy. Killer for my heartburn but totally worth the suffering!

Whatever works for you is good, especially when it's something healthy like fruit :)
I have been eating nutritional yeast straight out of the bag with a spoon! I just can't get enough of it. It's totally weird I know, but it's an awesome source of B vitamins and tastes a bit cheesy without making me feel queasy. I love cheese, but it seems to not be so good for my stomach right now (at 5 wks).

Its been mostly meat for me... but none of my cravings have been consistent. They come and go. Bacon, Sausage, Chicken Livers (ugh, I know), Steak, and yesterday, Fried Chicken. Fruit has been huge w/me too and I had a strange hankering for ramen noodles at one point too lol

OH wait you said banana!!! lol.. I am not done yet. the past two weeks: BANANAS. I have to eat at least one or two a day!! I NEVER liked bananas before. If I ever ate them it would be maybe every once in a while in cereal or or something but this is just crazy. I HAVE TO HAVE my bananas! lol. I must need the potassium. I also had a big pickle craving in the first trimester but not so much now. :) Ok.. I am done.. maybe. i think.. lol
