My whole life I have heard about pregnancy cravings. Ice cream in the middle of the night.. pickles.. whole pizzas for breakfast... peanut butter and chocolate.. meat eaters turn into vegetarians and vegetarians turn into meat eaters... The husband is suppose to have to run out, willingly, at a moment's notice and grab whatever crazy concoction I dream up.
Not me :( I have what I'm calling the 'Blandy Bland' diet. If anything I crave less than I did before I got pregnant. Actually, I don't really feel all that hungry most of the time. When it comes to dinner time I basically let Kevin decide since I never really want anything in particular. I snack on smaller meals throughout the day that cover the basics for nutrients (yogurt, fruit, whole grains, etc). It isn't because anything necessarily upsets my stomach either - I've been lucky to not really have chronic heartburn etc.. I still eat spicy foods, sweet foods and sour treats, but I just don't feel any cravings for any of those things. Am I weird or what?
Apparently, some cravings arise from a lack of something in your diet. Have you guys heard of that show about strange addictions - people eat toilet paper or corn starch or other things. They even hide stashes so people don't know they still have a problem. Now those examples might be more than a lack of something in their diet and hinge on personal issues... but... in the end I like to think that I have such a well rounded diet maybe it is my body just saying 'good job'. Or is it another case of pregnancy hormones taking over some part of my body?

I didn't really crave anything. I just liked some things more intensely. Like I could eat a whole can of pie filling and love it. I would eat one brownie and it was just so good I would have 15.
