Funny Pregnancy Cravings boy/girl?

[serenityg]

I am newly pregnant with my 3rd and cravings started way earlier. It is 12:50 am and all I can think of are peaches right now, ( Girl maybe?)what are/were your cravings and what is the sex of the baby you are or were carrying?

Oh boy, I hope I don't get burned at the stake for this since both my cravings were big pregnancy no-no's. I had hyperemesis the whole freakin time and the only thing I could keep down was spicy tuna on rice cake sushi. Which is weird because I was never a spicy tuna fan and still am not! The other thing was margaritas. The virgin margaritas wouldn't suffice, I was craving the tequila flavor as well, so my DH cooked the alcohol out of some tequila and used that to make me one. It definitely hit the spot but I was way to scared to try it again.

I craved root beer and anything with cream cheese... bagels, crab rangoons, cream cheese on crackers. And it's funny because Rowan loves cream cheese (and every other kind of cheese) I've always heard that your cravings represent your bodies nutritional needs... I guess I needed extra calcium? @sugarfoot Maybe you needed the protein/omega 3 in the tuna?

See, I'm strange. I'm craving gum (like the flavor of the bubble gum), Beef Jerky, and Pickle Chips. I have no idea why all that is, but it's certainly weird. I don't know what I'm having yet but, gum, jerky, and chips says boy to me :P

I've also been eating a lot of Chinese food lately, specifically, I'm loving the shrimp.

I don't know the sex yet (and we don't think we want to know), but I'm craving fruit (especially pineapple, mango, peach, mini oranges) and sweets. I've also had cravings for meat.

With pregnancy number one, I craved strawberry milkshakes. With pregnancy number two, my husband and I were out running errands together, and he asked if I wanted fast food. That praticular day, I had to have a turkey sub with salt and pink lemonaide to drink. I had girls bith times.

I had an second-cousin who had non food cravings. Instead she'd go nutty (like major emotional breakdown crazy) if she didn't have a double digest Archies Comic book to read each day. Both of her pregnancies. Which everyone still makes fun of her for. However, she never had food any food cravings of any kind. (Talking about weirdo cravings!)

LEXIEM That is weird, and hysterical

Nothing really weird - I've been craving chicken skin for a long time now. I also had a pickle kick for a while there... actually, now I want one. I've really been wanting beef jerky, and have been trying to avoid it because there's a small listeria risk with that but I ended up eating about half a bag tonight. I'm thinking more and more that a little every now and then should be okay, though. Also, mushroom and pepper stir fry (I usually hate cooked peppers), peas, lots of green beans, grapefruit juice, grape juice, bologna (heated in the microwave), raspberry jello, Lindt truffles, Wendy's chili, and grilled cheese. Today I want either an eggplant parmesan sandwich, chicken pastry, or steak in spaghetti. I still really want dippy eggs too, but I can't find any pasteurized eggs around here.

We're having a little boy.

I'm 28 weeks with a boy and haven't had any cravings yet. Sure, there are days where I'd like a particular food, but no more strongly than before I was pregnant and not the same thing often enough to form a pattern. I was vegan when I conceived and am eating vegetarian for the pregnancy, so it's been kind of interesting trying things like eggs and cheese again. I guess I was kind of craving soda early on, but I think that was more about getting off caffeine and breaking that addiction than an actual food craving.
