No question is ignorant! i never really had cravings with my DS except a particular Arbys meal (weird I know) but I don't remember it until middle to later in the pregnancy. So far, I haven't really had any other than an occasional chocolate desire that is usually passing. I can't help with the puking because I luckily did not experience that. I'm so sorry you are though, that has gotta be rough!

No worries, even when it's not your first time there are always new questions that come up!

Cravings - not necessary, totally fine not to have them. You also may not be getting them yet because of the continued m/s.

Puking - I'm sorry mama. I have had bad m/s (morning sickness) with my girls (and this time around, but we'll see what Babe is) and not much at all with the boys, but it's always ended around 13 weeks/2nd trimester for me. I know, though, that it can be normal to have it continue further along, for some even for the whole pregnancy.
it's just taking a few extra weeks with you and will let up soon.

I really didn't have cravings with DD.

No real cravings here yet either. I mean, I buy crazy things at the grocery store cause they sound good, but I wouldn't call them much different from what I do regularly - lol.

[UmmKira]

I've never had crazy craving that you hear about, but there are sometimes I just can't kick the desire to get something specific. Recently I wanted a california roll, then got it and was a bit disappointed. Oh well.

I didn't have cravings until a few weeks after I stopped being sick. I stopped vomiting at 15 weeksish, and the nausea went away a few days after that.
That's my last pregnancy, this go around I'm only at 11 weeks, 5 days and I'm still in the depths of "Dear Lord, please don't let me die of morning sickness!"

Today was AMAZING! I didn't feel nauseous until about 8pm! Although I didn't FEEL nauseous, I did vomit like the exorcist while changing DS's diaper... woops. I'm going to give that baby a shame complex. hahaha
I was able to stay hydrated and even have a couple of meals today! I'm snacking on yellow peppers and dip right now, because they're juicy and anything juicy makes me feel better.

I haven't really had any cravings. Though I do have a definite preference for carbs and tart drinks. What I am is susceptible... I see a commercial for something and i WANT it.

[momneedssupport]

I am so sorry for you mommas still sick. I hope its over soon!!!!

I dont crave anything like a beast, jyst normal, "ohhh, that sounds gooood!" Stuff. Chips and salsa. Gummy candy, pumpkin bagels with pumpkin cream cheese

Gotta clean hard core today. Dh invited coworkers over for a house party....our turn at hosting. Im bummed I cant play beer pong

Eh, oh well.

[canadianbakers]

I craved cheesecake with my first - which is really quite $$ when you're needing it every day! By the end of that pregnancy I had perfected my homemade cheesecake

When I get a craving, I really get a craving. Like a "MUST HAVE RIGHT NOW OR I WILL DIEEEEE!!!!" feeling. It's horrible!
I had one hit me with my first pregnancy (thank goodness my first or we never could have gotten some) for steak... at 9pm... we found a restaurant that was open really late and went out for a big steak dinner, lol.
Last night I was needing pepper jelly (spread over cream cheese, with nacho chips ). I'm desperately wanting my friend's pepper jelly (it's so yummy, and homemade) but at least I had some other stuff in my fridge. I need to beg her for some, though!

That's great! That's actually how my m/s weans itself out, it seems. It'll start taking a bit longer to hit me, over a week or 2, and then it leaves - I mean, still the odd feeling now and then, but nothing like it was.
Peppers and dip sounds like a great snack! You're right, with the water content of the peppers, it should help you feel better. I think that's why I was craving cucumbers really badly when m/s hit me - all the water in them. Bonus - they seemed to help me get through the first "hormone overload breakout face" crap that normally hits!

Oy, YES. I hate commercials when I'm pregnant. Sitting there, watching something all content, suddenly a BK or McD's commercial comes on and I NEED IT. Silly pregnant hormones!

pumpkin cream cheese sound really good! MIL sent us home from Thanksgiving with a whole pumpkin pie - I ate pretty much the whole thing by myself this week So good!

Sorry about the beer pong! I kwym though - I was bummed even when I got my pepper jelly last night, cuz it's so yummy with a cold heinekin. Ah well, next year

AFM: DD and DH are still sleeping (it's after 9 here) The boys and I slept in until 8:30 I love it when they're able to sleep in!
We're heading to town once everyone's up and around - gotta get some stuff for Zech's birthday (we do a "family supper/small party" for everyone on their birthday, then they can have a friend party on a weekend or something if they want), gotta look for some halloween costumes for the olders, and I want to look for some fall boots - DD, DS1, and I need some! I mean, I'm sure I could survive without... but I'd like some

What's everyone else up to this weekend?

[RunawayBunny]

We are out of town for a good friend of DH's wedding! It is nice, but not what I wanted to do this weekend. It's also a very proper wedding and is making me kind of awkward. For example, its a no children allowed, destination wedding. They have hired babysitters which is thoughtful, but one of the moms has a young, exclusively nursing babe. They said she could bring the baby, but without telling her they hired a sitter to hold the baby in another room for the ceremony. The mom still doesnt know. Yeah, no way I would leave my four month old with a stranger. Anyway, rant over.

Regarding cravings. I havent had any cravings with any of my pregnancies. Sometimes DH will tease me saying I crave rice or potatoes, but its more food aversions where I just want something bland. My food aversions lasted throughout DS's pregnancy.

[bai18176]

My strongest cravings were with my third, and I ate salt and vinegar Kettle brand potato chips like crazy! I paced myself to half a bag a day! I could have easily eaten a whole bag a day! I don't even like potato chips usually.

I'm going to work on the halloween costumes today, between bday parties and errands. Superhero family here- Capt. America, Black Widow, Spider girl, I'll be Wonder woman , hubby Clark Kent, baby- the kids vote for Wasp, but we will see Glad to have a bit of energy today, and my b-day is tomorrow, so looking forward to a day "off"
