Did anyone else crave icecream while pregnant? Is there a reason behind this?
Answer:
this is your body's way of saying i need calcium give it to me it just shows up in you as ice cream because maybe it's your favorite thing to eat that has that nutrient
I ate ice cream everyday. Not sure why but I wish I could do it now w/o gaining weight!
Maybe for the dairy? Or you just have a sweet tooth!
I craved ice cream too, as well as 7 layer burritos from Taco Bell.
My mom did when she was pregnant with me and guess what--I never needed braces!
Not me.
you crave the calories
Yes! Ice cream all the time. And cranberry juice. I don't know, but there must be a reason. We probably needed the extra calcium or something. Or it's what the baby likes. My son LOOOOOOOVES ice cream still!
I did.. Especially the last month.. i ate almost every day... I dont think there is a reason behind it.. But watch how much you eat of it though coz too much sugar is not good for you or the baby.
Yes. your body is craving the extra calcium and nutrients. I craved icecream almost everyday.. better stock up on the fat free kind of ice cream! :D I also craved lots of broccoli. Ask your doctor about taking vitamins too for pregnancy.
i did not. welll i did want popcicles. but i was due at the end of Aug in Charleston, SC... so that might have been why... lol
I had to have my daily scoop! I am lactose intolerant and one of the benefits of pregnancy is that the lactose intolerance eases up for those 9 months. It was simply blissful to enjoy ice cream without the hassle of pills and upset stomachs.
Yeah, but I don't know if there's any specific reason. I ate a lot of fudgecicles, and towards summer I craved soft chocolate ice cream. My bf finally took me to get some one day. That's all I could think about!
i did off and on. its the body wanting or needing extra calcium
Normally when your body is craving something it is because you are lacking a vitamin or mineral from you diet. SO if you crave it, EAT it. This is the way I look at things, especially while pregnant.
Yes, with my daughter, (second and last pregnancy).
I ate quite healthy with my son, and took my prenatal vitamins. My daughter, for some reason, not so good and couldn't keep the vitamins down. The thing I had in common with both, was I had severe morning sickness. Though for my son, it peaked at night, my daughter, ALL DAY!
While being pregnant with my daughter, I found myself eating foods with extreme taste sensations. The food had to be salty or sweet. Sometimes even just extremely bland. After eating whatever I ate, it would come right back up, and then have a craving for the opposite of what I just ate.
A moment that stands out during my pregnancy, was when I sent my husband to get food to satisfy my different cravings. He came back with the foods, and told me and asked if I realized that he noticed as the foods went down the conveyor belt to the cashier, that I had asked for ice cream and pickles...!
I didn't realize what I had requested. But to make it clear, I didn't eat them together. Depending on time of day, sometimes I wanted something sweet, and then later craved the salty.
But to answer your question, yes I craved ice cream. Reason? Well, our body are really quite ingenious, maybe there is something lacking in your body, that ice cream could provide. Maybe fill a taste sensation, need more fat, or you needed extra calcium. My OB told me there are some women who craved rocks!?
CAKE and icecream!!! everyday. seriously. I have to have it every single day. I'm so glad i have a 10 year old daughter that likes to bake
dont worry! every1 craves sumthing when their pregnant! my mum craved milk and my auntie craved peanut butter!
the thing I craved most in this pregnancy is penut butter sandwhiches just plain peanut butterspread on a couple of slices of bread. Although I do crave ice cream sometimes, I drink enough milk that I get the calcium I need though.
I had the strongest cravings for mint chocolate chip milkshakes my first pregnancy - big time. Like, I would get them at least a few times a week, and I usually don't eat ice cream too often. My opinion on cravings is that it is your body's way of saying you're not getting enough of a particular mineral. Maybe you're not taking in enough dairy products. Either way, give in to your cravings once in a while, in moderation.
