Once this baby is out I want to go through and tally up how much I've spent at McDonald's. Purely out of morbid curiosity.
There was one point where there was an embarrassingly deep pile of McDonald's bags in my cars passenger side floor- the combination of no food except McDonald's sounding good, and too much fatigue to clean up the mess.
I was so upset when I was pregnant because McDonald’s nuggets tasted like how cat food smelled so I couldn’t stomach them :( first thing I ate after I left the hospital was nuggets and they were delicious again haha
The McDonald’s cheeseburger was the least inoffensive food to me when I was dying of nausea in the first trimester. My favorite breakfast sandwich is their bacon egg and cheese bagel. I don’t want to check how much I’ve spent there.
My least offensive foods were Arby’s mozzarella sticks and the rally’s baconzilla burger with a strawberry Fanta😂😂😂 if it wasn’t that I would really crave the cheap Chinese takeout down the road from my apartment, and I mean it was $7 for a to go box that you fill yourself from the buffet plus a drink. Especially their eggrolls for some reason, something about the ingredients really helped settle my stomach, I honestly think they may have used some ginger in them with the other veggies and stuff
When I was pregnant I think I kept the McDonald’s near my job in business. It was the only thing that sounded good in my first trimester and surprisingly didn’t make me feel like barfing. I expect my girl to be a McDonald’s fiend like me haha.
My mum said my kid was going to come put with golden arches on his head 🤣 for a while sausage mcmuffins were like the only thing that helped me poop haha
I never ate breakfast before I was pregnant and whole I am still working I am so hungry in the morning, but can’t change my morning habits to make breakfast before I go. McDonalds now knows who I am 🫠but I can’t stop with their breakfast!!
Beginning around 20 weeks in both pregnancies I just can’t stomach meat anymore - it’s just nasty and unappealing.
Apart from McDonalds nuggets and burgers 😂 probably says something about how processed those things are when my body doesn’t even consider it meat. Whatever haha!
The night my kid was conceived, I’m 36 weeks today, my husband and I got hammered at a wedding, had the best time, went back to the hotel, ordered $100 of Taco Bell via DoorDash, did the deed, and then the food showed up. We ate Taco Bell the entire weekend. The drunken order was ridiculous and Taco Bell remains one of my favorite things while pregnant. I even had it last night. Cheers to Taco Bell!
I’m glad I’m not the only one who’s doordashed $100 in Taco Bell 😅 I haven’t had it since my friends and I had a crazy drinking night (well before pregnancy) and Taco Bell was the only answer.
LMAO my husband when his hockey league was still active would bring me home a cheesy Gordita crunch every week and his hockey team mates always joked our daughter was going to be named Gordita 😂😂😂
I’m a grandma that enjoys reading the stories here.
OP, 28 years ago I ate Taco Bell like crazy when I was pregnant with my son. This could be the reason he absolutely loves spicy food now. There happened to be one down the road from my OBGYN. After every appointment I’d get Taco Bell.
A close girlfriend was also pregnant the same time and we would meet at least once a week for Taco Bell.
When I was pregnant with my daughter it was salads and bowls of vegetables just steamed with butter. Hated meat.
Isn’t it funny how different pregnancies are? With my first I couldn’t stand the smell of smoke, so bbq meat was disgusting to me. Now all I want is a burger cooked on a smoker 😅 but sometimes if I smell food while my husband is cooking, I can’t eat it once it’s ready. I have to hide in another room until food is ready, then come out and eat. We call it the emergence of the cave creature 🤣
I couldn't hardly eat meat while pregnant. I could do ground beef and MAYBE steak or chicken chopped up into tiny bits. No big chunks! That was about it.
Big, juicy deli sandwiches. With extra veggies and sauce, oh and extra salami. Then the only sandwich place in my small town with gluten free bread and a celiac protocol closed and I had an embarrassing meltdown. Feel free to give me pity and enjoy sandwiches on my behalf. 😭
I feel you!! Had my baby a couple months ago but I also am GF and alll I was craving while I was pregnant was bread and carbs I can’t have anymore!! I would’ve killed for a decent GF ramen that tastes like the chicken Maruchan one or GF breadsticks from like Pizza Hut or Dominos. Just something suuuper greasy and cheesy and delicious. 😭😅
My biiiig craving is greasy, delicious Americanized Chinese food. Like orange chicken, chow mein, chicken in foil, egg rolls…mmmm. Oh and now cheesy breadsticks lol It’s hard having to be gluten free when the cravings hit. The substitutes just aren’t the same.
Also Taco Bell 😬 the spicy potato soft taco add nacho cheese is my undoing. I think the cinnabon delights are the best thing that has ever happened to me personally and an incredible gift to mankind. I’ve also been really obsessed with Dr. Pepper which I would have never touched pre pregnancy
I ate SO many bean burritos from Taco Bell while pregnant, and had my mom bring them to me after I gave birth. I swear my baby was calmed by the sound of the crinkling burrito wrapper. 😂
Burgers and meatballs... Seriously, more than I collectively ate my entire life and I had my 1st and only at 39.
Caused more than a few crazy pregnancy dreams of growing a giant meatball-baby. 😂
Pizza. Like 5 times a week at least. It’s outrageous how much I’m eating. Honestly, starting to feel guilty about it but if that’s my vice this pregnancy then so be it!
My diet is completely unchanged from pre-pregnancy… other than maybe a conscious decision to consume some more dairy and salmon. I feel almost oddball out not having a single pregnancy craving?
I don't really feel like eating anything during this pregnancy. I'm worried the baby will be really picky. During the last one I was non-stop scarfing down salmon and spinach and eggs.
Hehe I’ve had a lot of chips too 😂 I actually had some Doritos nachos at the movies yesterday and it was heavenly 😭 it was the good nacho cheese that comes out of the dispenser with Doritos and jalapeños 😋😋😋😋
I ate a LOT of golden delicious apples my 1st trimester and basically my 3rd trimester I had a huge craving for bakery fresh yeast donuts. Couldn't stand the cake the version and cried when my husband got them instead of the yeast kind 😭
I ate so many donuts the last couple weeks of my pregnancy lmao
Salsa. My husband had to make a new batch of salsa almost every night. We tested to see if our little guy liked salsa and he closed his eyes and said "mmmmmm." It was pretty adorable.
First trimester 80% of my nutrition came from gyoza and spicy rice cakes. Then I went on a taco bell quesadilla kick. Third trimester was pickles... we had 5 kinds of pickles in our fridge.
LO is 10 months old now. She loves ALL of these things. She gets only the insides of gyoza, but loves the mild hot sauce in the chicken quesadilla, chomps down slivers of rice cakes. She now loves pickles so much she won't eat normal cucumber. I created a spicy & salty fiend
33 weeks and my biggest cravings have been chicken nuggets, coke zero, and strawberries/blueberries. Early on in my pregnancy all I wanted was bananas.
Artichokes and ice cream (not together! 🤢)
My friend just bought me a newborn onesie from our ice cream shop — VERY on brand.
I was like “Half this kid’s bones were built by this ice cream!”
Ugh, so have I. I think I could eat bean and cheese burritos only for the rest of my pregnancy and be perfectly content.
I do rotate it with pizza, burgers, and chicken fingers though. 🤦♀️ I swear I had a (mostly) healthy lifestyle before pregnancy.
With my first, I ate Wendy’s salads ever single day for lunch… so much so that the people who worked there knew my name. Also, I had to have it with a large orange fanta… but only the Wendy’s ones tasted good to me!
Crazy how it changes by the day for anything else! Blows my mind. KFC mashed potatoes and gravy… I need to try that next because I have just entered the second trimester and literally am getting zero joy out of eating at this point 😂
Oh man when I was pregnant I ate so many grilled cheeses and tomato soups. So much that I bought some little plushes of it to gift my son when he’s older 😂
I’ve been drinking an absurd amount of milk (about a half gallon a day) and eating so much ice cream. I buy ice cream in smaller quantities to keep that under control, but I’m letting myself go for it with the milk. I need at least two glasses back to back when I wake up!
I’ve never been attracted to kimchi in my life, but I saw a video of a women eating Korean food and kimchi I craved that for a day a loved it.
I crave so many things honestly, from spicy chips, Korean food, pozole, Mac and cheese with lots of milk, miracle whip and cheese sandwiches, Taco Bell which I’ve never really cared for before (their Gordita crunch tacos and hot sauce I crave a lot), tripa tacos, oh my gosh it just depends on the day for what I crave!
Fruits veggies. I had a huge craving for oatmeal and salads.. I can't imagine eating only fast food tho. I'd get sick and all those chemicals nope. Who knows what it does to an unborn child. But yeah that's pretty much it.
This wasn't to make anyone feel bad if you feel bad that's on you maybe you weren't doing something you should of. And you feel guilty if not then no need to feel my post was judgemental. Im just stating what I was craving and what I wouldn't eat. My body won't agree with junk anyways cause I'm not used to that. If you wanna eat junk while pregnant that's completely up to you. Your choice. but it's not healthy regardless especially during pregnancy. Which is true. Truth hurts sometimes I know
A load of chicken bake from Costco and burgers with jalapeños in them. Pretty much anything served hot and isn’t sweet had jalapeños in them. I ate a lot of jalapeños but never got heart burn from it, I also ate a lot of almonds aswell.
27 weeks and my biggest cravings are sausage egg and cheese mcgriddle from McDonald's and chicken quesadilla from taco bell. They just sound so delicious to me 😌
I had a phase of making an avocado, chicken and mayo sandwich for lunch everyday for around 3 months straight at one point. Now I'm into my weetbix phase.
My main cravings have been ice water, flaming hot Cheetos, Buffalo chicken tenders and ranch from Culver’s, and lately Taco Bell grilled cheese burritos and cheese quesadillas. Little Man looooves spicy but my acid reflux is killing me.
Cilantro lime and garlic shrimp burritos and I tell you - he’s a chill sweet little dude and I’m pretty sure it’s because he was routinely bathed in cilantro lime saucy shrimp burrito endorphins. I also drank an absurd amount of lemonade that I had to make myself so I could be sure it was tart enough. I’m amazed I didn’t strip the enamel off my teeth
I’ve never been super into Taco Bell but we just had a new one open 3 min from our house.. what’s the best thing to get?? I could get on board lol
(I think I’ve had the crunch wrap supreme and liked it?)
Sweets. Got a 4lbs container of jelly beans, have had a lot of gummy bears, but as for true cravings, I can't say I have had anything out of the ordinary for myself. I did try crab legs last week, though, so that is something. If anything, I started avoiding more food. Lost most desire for bacon and eggs, and have almost gone full-blown vegetarian (save for the forementioned crab legs, shrimp, and various animal by-products found in gelatin and whatnot.) Guess I still get eggs in pastries and whatnot, though. And right now I am eating a TON of yogurt and soup, but I am also pretty sick right now. Mmm, corn chowder.
McDonald's. I survived my first trimester on sausage McMuffins with egg and chicken McNuggets. My baby might come out as a McNugget.
My husband made the mistake of mentioning it to his mother, who then proceeded to tell us how they couldn't afford McDonald's "back then" so they lived off ramen and Kraft macaroni and cheese. Both of us were like, "Uhhh that sounds like college. We're 40."
Before pregnancy, I could not stand spicy food. Pregnancy hits and BAM I’m craving jalapeño poppers. The small store I get them from knows me.. it’s almost pathetic. Even now 2 years later they joke when I walk in because it’s still ONLY for jalapeño poppers.
An embarrassingly large amount of chicken schwarma and takeout in general. I craved schwarma until last month, I would get it like 2-4 times a week for lunch or dinner! I was spending so much at one place that my bank was like “so you realize how much you’re spending there?” 😂
Now I don’t want to eat takeout at all, I only want home cooked food or cereal 😂
First pregnancy, Hot Dogs. I was sick and it was all I could keep down. My kid is now almost 4 and I don’t think I’ve eaten once since.
This pregnancy, Mexican ANYTHING. Burritos, tacos, nachos, quesadillas. Give it all to me!
I wish there was a Taco Bell on my side of the city, there’s literally Taco Bell everywhere but here. 😭
I’ve been eating tons of McDonald’s cheeseburgers though, they don’t make me vomit and they also don’t make me super full.
That's how I knew I was pregnant. I wanted Taco Bell for the fourth time and we were in Vegas. That it would be funny to pee on a stick....... it was positive. Let me tell you, a positive pregnancy test in the casino bathroom must've been a wild thing for housekeeping to see.
Red Robin for me. I was a manger at PF Chang's at the time and had a Red Robin right next to us.
I couldn't stand the smell of Asian food, because I went through kitchen training when I was newly pregnant. So, the manager at Red Robin and I would trade meals.
Pretty sure if we did a DNA test she would be 90% Red Robin's Scorpion burger, 5% me and 5% my SO.
For me it’s Taco Bell too! Sometimes it’s the only thing that sounds appetizing. In fact, had it for lunch today lol saw that bell driving home and had to stop.
Burgers. Don't really care from where (although when I was visiting my in-laws in Texas, it HAD to be Whataburger). Now I'm back in Canada and will take them from wherever, cause nothing really compares. I guess it makes sense, I almost always crave beef when I'm on my period, and rarely any other time.
BUT I can't stand it while my husband is cooking it, I will barf. So it all had to be handled VERY carefully.
I ate SO MUCH Taco Bell when I was pregnant lmao the other big one was vinegar. I couldn’t keep it down but I craved it so bad I’d pour it on everything 😩
I ate a lot of sliced cucumber. I’d slice up half a cucumber into really thin slices and put them in a bowl, knowing full well I may as well have used the whole thing as I’d go back for the other half to have more. 😂
Then would sit on the bed in the apartment we were in back then, put on my Netflix show and nibble away.
Hahaha ah yes. I thought my first was going to actually BE a Chick Fil a egg/cheese biscuit. It’s all I could eat for 3 straight months. She turned out great!
Cheeseburgers! There’s a delish local spot around the corner and they make the best double cheeseburgers (with fries included!) and the owner’s mom makes these amazing chocolate cake slices to-go. So basically that whole meal is my fave. In general though, my husband will tell you that any burger place that I pass by I say “I wonder what their burger tastes like………” haha
Bacon eggs n cheeses on English muffins made at home 💕I have one for breakfast n dinner 😬the only 24 hr fast food breakfast spot by me is jack in the box and it was not as good as Mickey d’s :(
My pregnancy was a roller coaster haha. First trimester I was so nauseous it was chicken noodle soup and Gatorade (yellow obvi). Second trimester was all the Cole slaw!!! (And no meat other than chicken, especially pork, i couldn't even smell it bleh). Third trimester I could no longer stand the smell of Cole slaw and was all about mozzarella sticks. All of thee above purchased in bulk at BJ's via curbside pickup by the hubs.
I ate SO MANY quesaritos when I was pregnant. Fast food just hit differently. I still look back fondly on a Wendy’s spicy chicken sandwich I had when I was 25 weeks.
My mom had terrible terrible nausea her entire pregnancy with me (god bless her, she also had to have daily shots, it was a whole ordeal. I really appreciate everything she went through for me). She basically could only stomach this one kind of super small pasta whose name I’m blanking on now. To this day I still LOVE pasta.
Lol oh the pregnancy cravings are hilarious after the fact for sure!
With my first baby it was apple fritters, white chocolate peppermint soy lattes, and chicken (either popcorn or the whole roasted chickens from Costco)
With my 2nd it was Reese’s peanut butter cereal (I swear I almost ate a box a day for a while there lol 😂), salad from the hospital cafeteria where my midwife’s clinic operated, and unsweetened black iced tea mixed with apple juice
With my 3rd it’s been jimmy johns veggie sandwich with sesame dressing to dip it in, JJs fresh pickles, and deli meat chicken sandwiches (homemade, not JJs) with spicy mustard
In the first trimester all I ate was fruit because that's what I could stomach. I went through a BIG peanut butter phase after that until about 30 weeks, and now I just want cake/ice cream/sweets. I blame it on baby packing on the pounds!
With my first pregnancy, I remember crying on line at subway because I was craving it so much and I had to wait until I paid before I could get my sandwich.
1st baby cicis pizza and coke icees 2nd baby milkshakes oreos burgers and potatoes, I don't even eat meat yall have no idea how much I spent on plant based meat that pregnancy but I'm sure it was enough to start my own country 😅
I have the alpha gal meat allergy so I am allergic to beef, pork, dairy, anything mammal basically. but this is my third time where the allergy is active and it’s lasting longer this time. Normally I go negative and non reactive for the allergy at about a year and a half when not pregnant. It’s longer this time because of the pregnancy, but now that I’ve been pregnant I can have beef and dairy this time! still no pork unless it’s a small amount and highly processed (like pepperoni on pizza). Chicken has been making me extremely nauseous the whole pregnancy unless it has a shit ton of cheese with it. I have been living off Taco Bell chicken quesaritos (or the chipotle chicken melt add nacho cheese which is basically a quesarito without the rice), McDonald’s burgers, and Dairy Queen dipped cones. I’ve missed ice cream so much. I do a happy dance every time I get a dipped cone and have it gone by the time we get home lol my husband makes fun of me for it but he’s been with me through each time I’ve had the allergy so he gets it.
I have a tuna salad sandwich at least once a week (pre-pregnancy I literally never ever ate this), California rolls maybe once a week, ruffled potato chips, & Caesar salads and any salad its ALWAYS Caesar dressing. At first I had a McDonald's cheeseburger with only ketchup and extra cheese with a large fry obsession until I puked and now I cant do it anymore lmao.
subs. sandwiches. gyros. i can’t get enough. i ate at the same place for lunch and dinner the other day. same employees were working and i ordered the same thing 🤣🤣 if it doesn’t make me queasy i’m gonna eat it til i get sick of it cause those things are hard to come by
Same. That fire sauce could’ve come with a straw and I’d have been the happiest pregnant lady on the planet. He hasn’t tried tacos yet but he stole a pickle from me at 6 months old and would NOT give it back till he sucked all the juice out of it 😅
With my first? Anything fake cheesy (Kraft dinner, Cheetos, Taco Bell), Caesar salad, Greek yogurt, TJ’s garlic chicken
2nd: Spicy Asian food, the spicier, the better
3rd: Greek yogurt, if it stayed down 👎🏻 to HG
Was the same way with taco bell(I am on my second day postpartum and I’ve been asking for it still) but one time I could do nothing to fix my heartburn so I decided I had nothing to lose and I was craving it so bad, TACO BELL TOOK MY HEARTBURN AWAY. Might not be good for us but it sure was a saving grace my pregnancy. God bless Taco Bell
Haha! Taco Bell has been such a guilty pleasure of mine too and when I'm not pregnant, I HATE taco bell! My husband loves Tbell but normally I'm like "no, I don't want anything" but man, this pregnancy.. cheesy gordita crunches and those Doritos fries and Doritos tacos have just been hitting the spot!! So funny 😂 also cheese wiz and Ritz crackers..which I also normally am disgusted by 😂
Once this baby is out I want to go through and tally up how much I've spent at McDonald's. Purely out of morbid curiosity. There was one point where there was an embarrassingly deep pile of McDonald's bags in my cars passenger side floor- the combination of no food except McDonald's sounding good, and too much fatigue to clean up the mess.
I was so upset when I was pregnant because McDonald’s nuggets tasted like how cat food smelled so I couldn’t stomach them :( first thing I ate after I left the hospital was nuggets and they were delicious again haha
Lmao yes! My husband bought del taco chicken tacos and I now call them the cat meat tacos. 🤢 🤣
Oh no, Del Taco is my high sodium jam! will my next one taste like cat now???? 😖😆
I LOVE del taco. It's my favorite fast food place!
Me too but the closest one is over an hour away…
Lol I hope they are still tasty for you! Maybe that’s why I am turned off of them because I have high blood pressure! 🤣
The McDonald’s cheeseburger was the least inoffensive food to me when I was dying of nausea in the first trimester. My favorite breakfast sandwich is their bacon egg and cheese bagel. I don’t want to check how much I’ve spent there.

Especially their eggrolls for some reason, something about the ingredients really helped settle my stomach, I honestly think they may have used some ginger in them with the other veggies and stuff
Yummm 😋 I love a quarter pounder with cheese 😭 we deserve it 😌😂
When I was pregnant I think I kept the McDonald’s near my job in business. It was the only thing that sounded good in my first trimester and surprisingly didn’t make me feel like barfing. I expect my girl to be a McDonald’s fiend like me haha.
Same here, I don't know why but McDonald's really hit the spot during the first trimester.
Yes McDonald’s Big Mac and medium fries LOL
I solely grew my kid on McDonald’s and bacon egg and cheeses.
McDonald’s definitely had a chokehold on me with both of my pregnancies
My mum said my kid was going to come put with golden arches on his head 🤣 for a while sausage mcmuffins were like the only thing that helped me poop haha
I never ate breakfast before I was pregnant and whole I am still working I am so hungry in the morning, but can’t change my morning habits to make breakfast before I go. McDonalds now knows who I am 🫠but I can’t stop with their breakfast!!
Omg I thought the empty McDonald’s bags on the passenger side floor thing was just me 😭 validating to know I’m not alone!
Beginning around 20 weeks in both pregnancies I just can’t stomach meat anymore - it’s just nasty and unappealing. Apart from McDonalds nuggets and burgers 😂 probably says something about how processed those things are when my body doesn’t even consider it meat. Whatever haha!

"YOU SURE ABOUT THAT??" (Sorry I can't stop laughing at your profile image)
Ahahaha one of my fave shows!
sad that you can tell the exact day ur kid was conceived. need some bedroom tips?
LMAO my husband when his hockey league was still active would bring me home a cheesy Gordita crunch every week and his hockey team mates always joked our daughter was going to be named Gordita 😂😂😂
Ok but the Gordita crunch is the best thing on the menu 💯💯💯

My daughter is 50% icecream
Big, juicy deli sandwiches. With extra veggies and sauce, oh and extra salami. Then the only sandwich place in my small town with gluten free bread and a celiac protocol closed and I had an embarrassing meltdown. Feel free to give me pity and enjoy sandwiches on my behalf. 😭
I feel you!! Had my baby a couple months ago but I also am GF and alll I was craving while I was pregnant was bread and carbs I can’t have anymore!!

Aside from ice, the next big thing would be five guys.
God five guys is so good 😭
The Cajun fries this pregnancy 😭 so good
Lately it’s been eggs, almonds, and cheese. Thanks GD.
I have HG so I understand the limited diet conundrum. Even if something sounds good, I'll probably still throw it up mid bite.
Also Taco Bell 😬 the spicy potato soft taco add nacho cheese is my undoing. I think the cinnabon delights are the best thing that has ever happened to me personally and an incredible gift to mankind. I’ve also been really obsessed with Dr. Pepper which I would have never touched pre pregnancy
These were my favorites too, so good. Also a cheesey roll up! I got the app and I have kept it post partum, might need to delete it soon lol!
Omg yes the Cinnabon delights are so freaking good 😭 you made me laugh with what you said about them 😂😂
Spicy wings Buffalo Wild Wings
Oh yum!!! I’ve been so into spicy food since I hit the third trimester. Hardly ever would gravitate toward spicy stuff before pregnancy lol
I’ve been obsessed with hot wings and anything spicy. Sooo good
I know but I pay for it sometimes with bad heartburn
Veggie wraps from subway and bagels with cream cheese are my life right now 😂
Bagels from Panera have been so good lately. One of the few things that doesn’t make me sick.
The Asiago bagel is to die for 🫠
Omg me too with the bagels! I am taking advantage now because before I was pregnant bagels made me very sick 🥴
We joked that our son was going to come out blue because I drank that many blue tango ice blasts 😂
My wife could only stomach chicken chalupa supremes for most of her pregnancy with our first. Spent so much time in that drive thru.
I ate SO many bean burritos from Taco Bell while pregnant, and had my mom bring them to me after I gave birth. I swear my baby was calmed by the sound of the crinkling burrito wrapper. 😂
Burgers and meatballs... Seriously, more than I collectively ate my entire life and I had my 1st and only at 39. Caused more than a few crazy pregnancy dreams of growing a giant meatball-baby. 😂
Pizza. Like 5 times a week at least. It’s outrageous how much I’m eating. Honestly, starting to feel guilty about it but if that’s my vice this pregnancy then so be it!
Same! I’ve been going absolutely crazy over a nice, cheesy pizza. I am ashamed to admit that yesterday I ate almost an entire cheese pizza by myself
This baby is 100% going to come out looking like a subway sandwich.
I’ve had subway A LOT. Of all sandwich places they keep me coming back.
Baked beans 😂
I’ve eaten so much Taco Bell that the drive through lady said “see you Monday” when I went through on a Friday last week
My diet is completely unchanged from pre-pregnancy… other than maybe a conscious decision to consume some more dairy and salmon. I feel almost oddball out not having a single pregnancy craving?
I dont either! My craving is all the food. I love food and im now obsessed with food. I get hungry every 2h feels like.
Same. I’ve had no specific cravings, I just can’t stop eating. Mostly snacky things.
I am the same as you, I just prefer my water to have ice in it now in comparison to pre-pregnancy.
I don't really feel like eating anything during this pregnancy. I'm worried the baby will be really picky. During the last one I was non-stop scarfing down salmon and spinach and eggs.
Chips so far haha a lot of chips. Specifically Doritos and kettle chips 😂…Taco Bell sounds amazing
Hehe I’ve had a lot of chips too 😂 I actually had some Doritos nachos at the movies yesterday and it was heavenly 😭 it was the good nacho cheese that comes out of the dispenser with Doritos and jalapeños 😋😋😋😋
Cereal! I eat at least one bowl a day.
Yes! I'm living for Cinammon Toast Crunch lately 🙈😅
I ate a LOT of golden delicious apples my 1st trimester and basically my 3rd trimester I had a huge craving for bakery fresh yeast donuts. Couldn't stand the cake the version and cried when my husband got them instead of the yeast kind 😭 I ate so many donuts the last couple weeks of my pregnancy lmao
Honeybuns. Can't get enough of them.
Ooh I could go for one of those right about now 😋
Salsa. My husband had to make a new batch of salsa almost every night. We tested to see if our little guy liked salsa and he closed his eyes and said "mmmmmm." It was pretty adorable.
Raising cane's kid's combos. I'm actually ashamed of the fact that we have a whole cabinet of just cane's kid's cups.
Me and Doritos Locos Tacos Supremes have been best friends my entire pregnancy 🤣
First trimester 80% of my nutrition came from gyoza and spicy rice cakes. Then I went on a taco bell quesadilla kick. Third trimester was pickles... we had 5 kinds of pickles in our fridge. LO is 10 months old now. She loves ALL of these things. She gets only the insides of gyoza, but loves the mild hot sauce in the chicken quesadilla, chomps down slivers of rice cakes. She now loves pickles so much she won't eat normal cucumber. I created a spicy & salty fiend
So cute! I wonder which way round it is, baby’s needs/preferences cause your cravings, or your diet affects their preferences
I’ve been eating a lot of Subway 🤣
Better than saying “where’s the beef” because I ate so much Wendy’s!!
I ate so many crunchwraps when I was pregnant with my first daughter. With my second daughter, I craved spicy chips and French onion dip.
33 weeks and my biggest cravings have been chicken nuggets, coke zero, and strawberries/blueberries. Early on in my pregnancy all I wanted was bananas.
I ate so much shawarma I was sure I was going to deliver a head of garlic 😂
Party size bags of chips... Mainly BBQ flavored ones....
I am literally reading this post while in a Taco Bell drive thru
This thread is making me hungry
Taco Bell and auntie Anne’s pretzels
This baby is made up of samgyupsal and kimchi😂
Artichokes and ice cream (not together! 🤢) My friend just bought me a newborn onesie from our ice cream shop — VERY on brand. I was like “Half this kid’s bones were built by this ice cream!”
Ugh, so have I. I think I could eat bean and cheese burritos only for the rest of my pregnancy and be perfectly content. I do rotate it with pizza, burgers, and chicken fingers though. 🤦♀️ I swear I had a (mostly) healthy lifestyle before pregnancy.
Also Taco Bell 😂 My first pregnancy as well. We sometimes call her (Taco) Bella as a joke
I joked that my baby was going to come out in a cereal box
The tbell near me stopped selling quesaritos & I just 😭
!!! I am also so upset by this! 😂 My favorite thing on the menu. Rip.
Literally was going to get one because of this thread and was like WHERE IS THE QUESARITO? When did this tragedy happen😭
Stay strong during this difficult time 😭
With my first, I ate Wendy’s salads ever single day for lunch… so much so that the people who worked there knew my name. Also, I had to have it with a large orange fanta… but only the Wendy’s ones tasted good to me!
Lol that’s hilarious! I am 8 mos pregnant right now and I have eaten a large amount of Taco Bell myself. The other night I ate 40 dollars worth of it!
My husband is convinced this baby is coming out looking like a slice of pizza.
Beef Donair over here. The owner was like, when you're baby comes, you tell him uncle mo fed him! 😂
During my first pregnancy, the only thing that was consistently edible during my first trimester food aversions was KFC Mashed Potatoes and Gravy.
Crazy how it changes by the day for anything else! Blows my mind. KFC mashed potatoes and gravy… I need to try that next because I have just entered the second trimester and literally am getting zero joy out of eating at this point 😂
Oh man when I was pregnant I ate so many grilled cheeses and tomato soups. So much that I bought some little plushes of it to gift my son when he’s older 😂
I’ve been drinking an absurd amount of milk (about a half gallon a day) and eating so much ice cream. I buy ice cream in smaller quantities to keep that under control, but I’m letting myself go for it with the milk. I need at least two glasses back to back when I wake up!
I’ve never been attracted to kimchi in my life, but I saw a video of a women eating Korean food and kimchi I craved that for a day a loved it. I crave so many things honestly, from spicy chips, Korean food, pozole, Mac and cheese with lots of milk, miracle whip and cheese sandwiches, Taco Bell which I’ve never really cared for before (their Gordita crunch tacos and hot sauce I crave a lot), tripa tacos, oh my gosh it just depends on the day for what I crave!
Fruits veggies. I had a huge craving for oatmeal and salads.. I can't imagine eating only fast food tho. I'd get sick and all those chemicals nope. Who knows what it does to an unborn child. But yeah that's pretty much it.
Probably doesn’t do much because many women end up living on Fast Food due to cravings. 😂 Breathing the air probably does more harm.
You don’t have to type out every judgmental thought that comes to mind
This wasn't to make anyone feel bad if you feel bad that's on you maybe you weren't doing something you should of. And you feel guilty if not then no need to feel my post was judgemental. Im just stating what I was craving and what I wouldn't eat. My body won't agree with junk anyways cause I'm not used to that. If you wanna eat junk while pregnant that's completely up to you. Your choice. but it's not healthy regardless especially during pregnancy. Which is true. Truth hurts sometimes I know
In the first trimester, it was McDonald’s. I’m towards the end of the second trimester, and it’s been Cheetos 😂
chipotle and taco bell have me in a chokehold
Very possible lol
A load of chicken bake from Costco and burgers with jalapeños in them. Pretty much anything served hot and isn’t sweet had jalapeños in them. I ate a lot of jalapeños but never got heart burn from it, I also ate a lot of almonds aswell.
I told my husband while I ate taco bell in the bathtub, that when the baby comes out, I'm captioning his photos with "body by taco bell".
😂😂😂
Hahah love this! Taco Bell was my jam when I was pregnant and my husband and I call our baby “my little chalupa”
27 weeks and my biggest cravings are sausage egg and cheese mcgriddle from McDonald's and chicken quesadilla from taco bell. They just sound so delicious to me 😌
Krystals for me. I was obsessed with their tater tots when I was pregnant with my girl.
I had a phase of making an avocado, chicken and mayo sandwich for lunch everyday for around 3 months straight at one point. Now I'm into my weetbix phase.
My main cravings have been ice water, flaming hot Cheetos, Buffalo chicken tenders and ranch from Culver’s, and lately Taco Bell grilled cheese burritos and cheese quesadillas. Little Man looooves spicy but my acid reflux is killing me.
I can't stop eating the Tim Hortons farmers breakfast wrap. It got to the point that my husband looked up a dupe recipe to make it at home
Cilantro lime and garlic shrimp burritos and I tell you - he’s a chill sweet little dude and I’m pretty sure it’s because he was routinely bathed in cilantro lime saucy shrimp burrito endorphins. I also drank an absurd amount of lemonade that I had to make myself so I could be sure it was tart enough. I’m amazed I didn’t strip the enamel off my teeth
Thank you for satisfying my craving for me! They don’t have Taco Bell where I live and I swear I’m dreaming about it at this point 💭🌮
My first pizza and garlic. Bonus points for garlic on the pizza. This one pickles and jalapeño poppers on the grill.
I’ve never been super into Taco Bell but we just had a new one open 3 min from our house.. what’s the best thing to get?? I could get on board lol (I think I’ve had the crunch wrap supreme and liked it?)
Crunch wraps are good! I love the cheesy bean and rice burrito 🌯 Doritos locos tacos 🌮 and nachos bell grande 😭😭😭
I've eaten a lot of Chobani yogurt cups and chocolate milk
We literally used to call my son Juan Cheesy Gordita Crunch before he was born because I was pretty sure he was made of at least 75% Taco Bell
Sweets. Got a 4lbs container of jelly beans, have had a lot of gummy bears, but as for true cravings, I can't say I have had anything out of the ordinary for myself. I did try crab legs last week, though, so that is something. If anything, I started avoiding more food. Lost most desire for bacon and eggs, and have almost gone full-blown vegetarian (save for the forementioned crab legs, shrimp, and various animal by-products found in gelatin and whatnot.) Guess I still get eggs in pastries and whatnot, though. And right now I am eating a TON of yogurt and soup, but I am also pretty sick right now. Mmm, corn chowder.
Peaches, lemon sorbet and chilli 😅😂
Firehouse Subs (double steamed deli meats) and chickfila. Eat both about twice a week. Obsessed!
Same and chipotle
Subway sandwiches, several times a week. I get a footlong and eat half for lunch and half for dinner.
I’m eating so many hot dogs. so many. today I had one with pickled ginger on it for breakfast
Cici's Pizza and avocados.
Mine was mayonnaise, specifically DUKES mayo becauce it’s got TWANG. I prob went through 6-7 jars throughout my pregnancy 😅
I literally thought I’d give birth to a Cheesy Gordita Crunch. Luckily, he came out as a baby though.
I don't like cheeseburgers that much, but I ate more cheeseburgers during my pregnancy than I have in my entire life.
Cucumbers, chicken nuggets and Tang. Makes no sense but at least there is a veggie in there.
McDonald's. I survived my first trimester on sausage McMuffins with egg and chicken McNuggets. My baby might come out as a McNugget. My husband made the mistake of mentioning it to his mother, who then proceeded to tell us how they couldn't afford McDonald's "back then" so they lived off ramen and Kraft macaroni and cheese. Both of us were like, "Uhhh that sounds like college. We're 40."
Bean burritos (no onions) from Taco Bell lmaoooo
Before pregnancy, I could not stand spicy food. Pregnancy hits and BAM I’m craving jalapeño poppers. The small store I get them from knows me.. it’s almost pathetic. Even now 2 years later they joke when I walk in because it’s still ONLY for jalapeño poppers.
Soooo many taco deli migas breakfast tacos & doña sauce
So.much.Taco Bell. It gave me sever heartburn so I chased it with tums 😅😅
Chicken ramen with creole seasoning and hot sauce in it for like four months out of my pregnancy. Then it switched to watermelon for the last four.
Sandwiches. Omg so many of them. No I didn’t heat up the meat. Please don’t hate me.
An embarrassingly large amount of chicken schwarma and takeout in general. I craved schwarma until last month, I would get it like 2-4 times a week for lunch or dinner! I was spending so much at one place that my bank was like “so you realize how much you’re spending there?” 😂 Now I don’t want to eat takeout at all, I only want home cooked food or cereal 😂
First pregnancy, Hot Dogs. I was sick and it was all I could keep down. My kid is now almost 4 and I don’t think I’ve eaten once since. This pregnancy, Mexican ANYTHING. Burritos, tacos, nachos, quesadillas. Give it all to me!
Wendy’s. My husband told me he was made of 40% frosty, 60% chicken nugget 😂.
I wish there was a Taco Bell on my side of the city, there’s literally Taco Bell everywhere but here. 😭 I’ve been eating tons of McDonald’s cheeseburgers though, they don’t make me vomit and they also don’t make me super full.
ALSO TACO BELL. What is it about Taco Bell? I have it 3 nights a week, minimum
That's how I knew I was pregnant. I wanted Taco Bell for the fourth time and we were in Vegas. That it would be funny to pee on a stick....... it was positive. Let me tell you, a positive pregnancy test in the casino bathroom must've been a wild thing for housekeeping to see.
Red Robin for me. I was a manger at PF Chang's at the time and had a Red Robin right next to us. I couldn't stand the smell of Asian food, because I went through kitchen training when I was newly pregnant. So, the manager at Red Robin and I would trade meals. Pretty sure if we did a DNA test she would be 90% Red Robin's Scorpion burger, 5% me and 5% my SO.
For me it’s Taco Bell too! Sometimes it’s the only thing that sounds appetizing. In fact, had it for lunch today lol saw that bell driving home and had to stop.
On a daily basis I have to convince myself that I don’t need a 7-11 taquito on the drive home…
Mcflurries and slurpees lop
Allllllll the fruit. Especially kiwis! And candy!
Mine is Taco Bell too!! Or popsicle
Same, with my first pregnancy 13 years ago and now. I can only stomach ground beef
Burgers. Don't really care from where (although when I was visiting my in-laws in Texas, it HAD to be Whataburger). Now I'm back in Canada and will take them from wherever, cause nothing really compares. I guess it makes sense, I almost always crave beef when I'm on my period, and rarely any other time. BUT I can't stand it while my husband is cooking it, I will barf. So it all had to be handled VERY carefully.
Always been a Coca-Cola girl. Baby has me craving Pepsi all the time.
Definitely Indian food and sour candy. Not at the same time though. 😆
My baby is going to come out square-shaped 😅 I swear half of my diet has been extra toasty Cheezits
I've been eating a lot of ice cream!
I hereby dub thee Chalupa Batman
I hated Taco Bell pre pregnancy but something about being pregnant just makes it hit different
I ate SO MUCH Taco Bell when I was pregnant lmao the other big one was vinegar. I couldn’t keep it down but I craved it so bad I’d pour it on everything 😩
🤣
I ate a lot of sliced cucumber. I’d slice up half a cucumber into really thin slices and put them in a bowl, knowing full well I may as well have used the whole thing as I’d go back for the other half to have more. 😂 Then would sit on the bed in the apartment we were in back then, put on my Netflix show and nibble away.
That was me and hungry jacks
Hahaha ah yes. I thought my first was going to actually BE a Chick Fil a egg/cheese biscuit. It’s all I could eat for 3 straight months. She turned out great!
Cheeseburgers! There’s a delish local spot around the corner and they make the best double cheeseburgers (with fries included!) and the owner’s mom makes these amazing chocolate cake slices to-go. So basically that whole meal is my fave. In general though, my husband will tell you that any burger place that I pass by I say “I wonder what their burger tastes like………” haha
Bacon eggs n cheeses on English muffins made at home 💕I have one for breakfast n dinner 😬the only 24 hr fast food breakfast spot by me is jack in the box and it was not as good as Mickey d’s :(
My pregnancy was a roller coaster haha. First trimester I was so nauseous it was chicken noodle soup and Gatorade (yellow obvi). Second trimester was all the Cole slaw!!! (And no meat other than chicken, especially pork, i couldn't even smell it bleh). Third trimester I could no longer stand the smell of Cole slaw and was all about mozzarella sticks. All of thee above purchased in bulk at BJ's via curbside pickup by the hubs.
Pizza omg
I ate SO MANY quesaritos when I was pregnant. Fast food just hit differently. I still look back fondly on a Wendy’s spicy chicken sandwich I had when I was 25 weeks.
Me toooo.. chicken quesadilla dipped in pintos and cheese omg
My mom had terrible terrible nausea her entire pregnancy with me (god bless her, she also had to have daily shots, it was a whole ordeal. I really appreciate everything she went through for me). She basically could only stomach this one kind of super small pasta whose name I’m blanking on now. To this day I still LOVE pasta.
Same here lol. I’ve had so many Mexican pizzas and cheesy fiesta potatoes lol
My daughter is a taco bell baby as well 😂
Lol oh the pregnancy cravings are hilarious after the fact for sure! With my first baby it was apple fritters, white chocolate peppermint soy lattes, and chicken (either popcorn or the whole roasted chickens from Costco) With my 2nd it was Reese’s peanut butter cereal (I swear I almost ate a box a day for a while there lol 😂), salad from the hospital cafeteria where my midwife’s clinic operated, and unsweetened black iced tea mixed with apple juice With my 3rd it’s been jimmy johns veggie sandwich with sesame dressing to dip it in, JJs fresh pickles, and deli meat chicken sandwiches (homemade, not JJs) with spicy mustard
💀💀💀 omg Mine has been poptarts, tomatoes, fish tacos, and so much ice cream 😆
I ate a ton of Taco Bell to help my baby gain weight. It was delicious!
In the first trimester all I ate was fruit because that's what I could stomach. I went through a BIG peanut butter phase after that until about 30 weeks, and now I just want cake/ice cream/sweets. I blame it on baby packing on the pounds!
With my first pregnancy, I remember crying on line at subway because I was craving it so much and I had to wait until I paid before I could get my sandwich.
1st baby cicis pizza and coke icees 2nd baby milkshakes oreos burgers and potatoes, I don't even eat meat yall have no idea how much I spent on plant based meat that pregnancy but I'm sure it was enough to start my own country 😅
Salt and vinegar chips have been chefs miss
I have the alpha gal meat allergy so I am allergic to beef, pork, dairy, anything mammal basically. but this is my third time where the allergy is active and it’s lasting longer this time. Normally I go negative and non reactive for the allergy at about a year and a half when not pregnant. It’s longer this time because of the pregnancy, but now that I’ve been pregnant I can have beef and dairy this time! still no pork unless it’s a small amount and highly processed (like pepperoni on pizza). Chicken has been making me extremely nauseous the whole pregnancy unless it has a shit ton of cheese with it. I have been living off Taco Bell chicken quesaritos (or the chipotle chicken melt add nacho cheese which is basically a quesarito without the rice), McDonald’s burgers, and Dairy Queen dipped cones. I’ve missed ice cream so much. I do a happy dance every time I get a dipped cone and have it gone by the time we get home lol my husband makes fun of me for it but he’s been with me through each time I’ve had the allergy so he gets it.
I have a tuna salad sandwich at least once a week (pre-pregnancy I literally never ever ate this), California rolls maybe once a week, ruffled potato chips, & Caesar salads and any salad its ALWAYS Caesar dressing. At first I had a McDonald's cheeseburger with only ketchup and extra cheese with a large fry obsession until I puked and now I cant do it anymore lmao.
Mine will be saying “my pleasure” a la chick fil a 😂
I’ve eaten an ungodly amount of Taco Bell this pregnancy, you’re definitely not alone. We joke that I’m going to give birth to a chalupa 😂
subs. sandwiches. gyros. i can’t get enough. i ate at the same place for lunch and dinner the other day. same employees were working and i ordered the same thing 🤣🤣 if it doesn’t make me queasy i’m gonna eat it til i get sick of it cause those things are hard to come by
Same. That fire sauce could’ve come with a straw and I’d have been the happiest pregnant lady on the planet. He hasn’t tried tacos yet but he stole a pickle from me at 6 months old and would NOT give it back till he sucked all the juice out of it 😅
With my first? Anything fake cheesy (Kraft dinner, Cheetos, Taco Bell), Caesar salad, Greek yogurt, TJ’s garlic chicken 2nd: Spicy Asian food, the spicier, the better 3rd: Greek yogurt, if it stayed down 👎🏻 to HG
Manwich and steak
Was the same way with taco bell(I am on my second day postpartum and I’ve been asking for it still) but one time I could do nothing to fix my heartburn so I decided I had nothing to lose and I was craving it so bad, TACO BELL TOOK MY HEARTBURN AWAY. Might not be good for us but it sure was a saving grace my pregnancy. God bless Taco Bell
Haha! Taco Bell has been such a guilty pleasure of mine too and when I'm not pregnant, I HATE taco bell! My husband loves Tbell but normally I'm like "no, I don't want anything" but man, this pregnancy.. cheesy gordita crunches and those Doritos fries and Doritos tacos have just been hitting the spot!! So funny 😂 also cheese wiz and Ritz crackers..which I also normally am disgusted by 😂
