Pregnancy Cravings

Do you have any cravings during your pegnancies?

I wonder if a first pregnancy can have more aversions sometime for some women because it's the first time their body has been pregnant? If that makes sense.

First

First pregnancy craved salty in the beginning weeks, followed by ice during the second trimester because I found out I was slightly anemic after taking gummy prenatal vitamins with no iron. I ate a lot of salads because I threw up for 15-16 weeks. Tylenol made me throw up to in the beginning. I linked more information on ice cravings:Ice Cravings During Pregnancy

I feel like first pregnancy there were so many things I didn't want or couldn't eat, second and third time just fine within my normal comfort zone.

Second

When I was pregnant with my second, I craved spicy food. A week or so before I found out I was pregnant, I was eating jalapeno jelly with rice, eggs, and sandwiches. My husband was seriously looking at me like what is wrong with you. I wanted it on everything. Spicy food was a standard with my second, wings and chicken tenders. I am a picky eater since childhood. I didn't like grilled chicken until I was 16 and I still won't / can't touch any seafood. Chicken is my primary meat when I eat meat, so wings don't generally bother me. Although third pregnancy I loved prime rib or spicy chicken sandwich from wendy's or chick fila or honey baked ham or turkey during thanksgiving.

Third

Third pregnancy, I craved pizza and pasta towards the end, which are my favorite foods to eat. I did eat spicy food during my third pregnancy, since my second and third pregnancy I had no vomitting.

Frida Mom for Post Laparoscopy Care

My Frida Mom Basket for Post-Laparoscopy Care. Why I Love the Frida Mom Line (Even Beyond Motherhood) One of the things I’ve really come to appreciate is how versatile the Frida Mom line is—not just for new moms, but for anyone recovering from abdominal surgeries, such as laparoscopies for endometriosis. After surgery, comfort and gentle care are everything. That’s where the C-section recovery underwear comes in. Even if you haven’t had a baby, the design makes sense—when you have incisions on your abdomen, you need something soft, high-waisted, and non-restrictive. These disposable underwears are a lifesaver compared to standard disposable Depends. The big difference? You can build your own pad system . Start with the underwear. Add a menstrual pad. Layer on a witch hazel perineal liner, perineal cream, or both. Attach an optional heating pad for cramping. It’s completely customizable depending on what your body needs that day. I also want to mention the liners pack...
