Crave healthy

[ReddBaron1373]

Not a question, just saying.
I've always been some what really healthy. I've worked on getting to know my body. Now I'm pregnant and all I want and crave is fruits, veggies, milk, eggs, and the list looks like the food pyramid. Even exercise. I'm so happy that me and my husband have decided to make a family. This has been the best experience and I'm not even half way through it yet. He likes and finds it funny that I've always been healthy before and now I'm craving it. I mean I seem to not be able to drink enough water just because I'm always thirsty so I know I'm drinking more than 8-10 eight ounce glasses of water (which is 2 liters of water). I feel like my baby is like a drug (or what have you) that is forcing me to be healthier. This is love in true form. Stay strong. Be you. Love unconditionally!

I did hear from many (and doctors) that craving red dirt can be a sign of an iron deficiency. I was told by my doctor that if I craved something that I shouldn't eat (like a shoe) to let them know.

I've seen women crave red dirt.... LMAO. Anything and everything goes during pregnancy.

That's awesome! I'm the same way. I'm thirsty all the time, so easily drink 12 cups of water a day and anything even slightly sweet really turns me off.

I'm glad to hear I'm not the only mommy who craves healthy food. I get some strange looks when I'm out with friends and say I'm craving an apple or orange. They all expect me to want chocolate covered pickles or something. And my husband makes the best of it and always smiles at me and just says that I'm" too cute being pregnant" and tells me loves me for it, it makes me laugh and feel good.

I have been craving fresh fruit and brown gravy!   Not together though!!!  Lol.  Just had a bowl of strawberries and I think I could finish the package off!!!

[ReddBaron1373]

Hahaha! That's awesome! I was ready to crave strange things but so far I've only craved pickles (only strange because I don't eat pickles often). Take it I want chocolate too but not too much.
And also...my hormones
Have gotten me to stop ready and watching scary things because I become fearful. Really funny, I am working on a Psychology paper and I made Serial Killers my topic on my page and can't watch about them or read about now much less write about them.
