Ok. I know I am not going crazy now because I have seen this not only on this board but other boards I have visited. What is with being pregnant and loving orange juice? I swear to me these days its like liquid crack to an addict (not meant to offend). I drink like three cups a day....I am unfortunately going through another water withdrawal stage (water makes me gag) so its my main fluid intake. I bought one of the 64 oz boxes on Monday and the box was finished yesturday. IDK but I don't think I should be that addicted to OJ. Does anyone know if there is some link to pregnancy and OJ addictions/cravings and please reassure me I am not alone and crazy on this.

Maybe it has to do with the iron absorbtion issue. My iron was low and they recommended I take my iron pills with OJ becuase it would help me absorb it better.

I'm not sure why we crave the OJ but I read that there is a lot of potassium in OJ so maybe we are low on potassium or vitamin C? Either way it's delicious! Lol!!

I too have drank alot more OJ than before. Usually because before too much made my stomach upset because of all the sugar. I slowed down on juice in general after dicussing with my OB. She told me to keep it to one glass a day. All the extra sugars in juice only good for gaining unneccessary weight. She said everyone think the work juice means I can have as much as I want. I did switch to the tropicana OJ reduced sugar. I really like it, but hubby hates. It sounds like for you....drinking it is your hydration source, so cerainly don't go without!

If you have cravings like me...this will pass after a short time and then it will be on to something else!

Have a good day-Stacey

Yes. Right now it is my hydration source. All my cravings pass but this one just won't go. Thankfully, I do not have to worry about the extra calories because right now I am ending each day with about a 400 cal deficit and we're trying to stall my weight loss which just isnt happening. I jus fear the extra sugar could cause gestional diabetes...is that even possible?

WEll OJ has folic acid, potassium, vitamin C and well it is just darn tasty!!

MY OB told me once i Start eating well to limit it to a glass or 2 a day as it is a lot of calories.

Lol thats how I try to justify it. Lots of vitamins. And a cup has 2 gr of added protein lol.

Thankfully since I am trying to stall weight loss calories are no problems for me. Heck, even with the crap I've been eating and the amount of carbs it hasn't even really slowed...still dropping about 8lbs a month. 199 day I found out and 176 at last appointment 2 weeks ago. Now on to the upward scale movement lol.

Call me crazy but I really believe that it is going to be a boy and thats what I want since I've helped raise my 2 nephews...I don't know what to do with a girl. But if I go according to old wives tales, I should be having two kids, one of each lol.

But like I've noticed and my sister keeps telling me. You usually end up with the opposite of what you want and what you expect. Gotta wait till the day before Thanksgiving to find out if this is true or not.
