The other day I had a craving for butter. I just pictured myself opening a stick of butter and licking it like a loly, I want to put cream cheese on everything and I am craving that oil and bread they serve at Carino's where you just dip the bread in the oil with garlic and herbs.

My tummy can't really take fats though. If i have too much fat it makes me nauseous. I don't know if this makes sense but the fat cravings gross me out.

Do these cravings mean my body needs fat? I usually have a few cashews when these cravings start I figure at least nuts have fiber and are healthier then a straight bar of butter!

Hey Cristy,

I have been craving red meat and pork...weird for me cause I am a straight up "chicken" girl...lol I have noticed I am eating more "fatty" things than i use to so maybe our little ones are needing it...I think it is amazing how our bodies crave for what we really need to nourish our babies...pretty neat...

sorry I wasn't more help

My first pregnancy I had dreams of eating sticks of butter and I was able to tolerate fats more during pregnancy.  I never did eat a stick of butter but I did use butter more liberally than I did before and after.  I also ate a lot of peanut butter.

This pregnancy I haven't started any fat cravings.  The only one that returned is sweets.  I'm hating that part of cravings because I never know if I'm going to dump big time or a little.  It seems that someone flipped my hunger switch the past 2 weeks so who knows what I'll be consuming over the next 16 weeks.

  Be Blessed!

I won't lie the first 4 to 5 months of my pregnancy it seemed as though deep fried foods were the only ones that I could keep down. For the past month though I've been craving nothing but FRESH items. Berries, salads, etc.

The one weird craving I do get though is sandwiches - but I'm very picky. I only like the sandwich if it's the first time the bag has been opened (freshly sliced) and the bread has to be a new loaf (preferably Hannaford King Sandwich bread.)

Although again, I'm not going to lie - every time I see the $5 Arby's commercial - I go "mmmmmmm Arby's" - luckily the closest one is like 20 minutes away and I won't drive just for it. But I do it so often that the other night Andy beat me to the punch and said "mmmmmm Arby's" when the commercial started - too much.
