Those first 12 weeks were so rough for me. So many aversions, especially to all forms of meat. I don't really remember craving anything in particular, but I know that when I wanted something, I just ate it, because most of the time I had no taste for anything and had to force things down. So sometimes that meant a meal of tostitos with cheese on them and that was just that. As I got into the 2nd trimester I started with the cravings. Pickles, olives, chips, fries, all things salty basically. I still love all those (I'm early 3rd tri now) things but have also had an affinity for OJ and citrus fruits, which I never really cared much for, and also cheese. 

A lot of times I've found that "cravings" were really just wanting something that I had seem someone else eating or smelled, that sounded really good and I couldn't get out of my head. 

Oh, I have also wanted McDonalds throughout the entire pregnancy but have only caved once or twice! 

I used to love spinach but one day I just couldn't stand it anymore. Even now, almost two years later, the only thing I can eat with spinach is spinach dip. I had wicked cravings for pasta with red sauce and cannoli's. I should have camped out in an Italian restaurant. 

@AvantLaLettre: Mine were a lot like this, I very rarely spontaneously craved a food, but if I saw something on TV, or someone mentioned something, then there was a good chance I'd have to have it.

1st Trimester I could barely eat anything, I went WEEKS on apples and carrots. (I always complained to DH it was horse food.)  Apple juice, applesauce, regular apples, I ate it all.  And the carrot thing has stuck around, yesterday I had a choice between carrots and chocolate cake, and I actually chose the carrots.

At 25 weeks, if I'm going to crave anything it's going to be meat, in almost any form, or milk.  This baby has better eating habits than I do, she could care less about the Christmas cookies I'm making this weekend.

@Quietserenity: haha, I have been eating a lot of carrots too, they are so good dipped in Ranch dressing. But then again that's always been a fave of mine! 

The worst is when you want something really badly and you're forced to watch or smell someone else eating it. Every night on my way home I have to put up with smelling the greasy salty deliciousness of McDonalds from the multitude of people that bring it on the train. What I wouldn't give for daily McDonalds fries! 

I've been into milk/chocolate milk this whole pregnancy and it something I wouldn't touch pre-pregnancy, so that's weird for me, haha

COOKIES - any and all cookies. And I have to have a big glass of milk to go along with them. Pre-pregnancy I never ate sweets at all. But now I want cookies and other baked goods constantly. Still not interested in candy which is good I guess.

Once I was out of the first trimester when nothing sounded good- all I wanted were sweets and ice cold milk.  I never used to drink milk but my body wanted it!  I had a month or so of needing pickles every day.  My husband and I were going through a jar every 2-3 days.  Most recently and I think it's pretty funny- I want liquor!  I want a glass of grand marnier on the rocks followed by some Baileys and finally I want a margarita!  Only a few more weeks and then I will indulge in 1 of those!  (that is if I still want it!)
