Also, would devour taquitos and sour cream and guacamole every night, then bolt upright after I went to bed screaming in pain because my chest was on fire from hearburn. STOOPID. lol
I craved egg sandwiches with lettuce tomato mayo and mustard. I craved them everyday at midnight without fail my mom would make them for me . I also ate cherries like no tomorrow. The one thing that I was REALLY picky with was the water I drank it HAD to be ice cold Dasani. H thought I was making everything up so if I was out with him and had a craving he would tell me that we couldn't have it. It took another pregnant woman telling him how bad cravings were for him to finally believe me.
I loved being pregnant its actually the sexiest I ever felt, but H being an azzhat sucked.
With both pregnancies, my wife craved hot foods. We started buying Tobasco in the big bottles. As a nurse at the time (she later became a nurse practicioner), she had taken care of a local man who owned a very popular Mexican restaraunt, and his wife began calling her their daughter. Once I met him, we all became good friends. My wife and I ate there all the time, and he joked about how her baby was going to be bald, because the hair would be burned off (both were bald).
Near the land where my grandmother's tribe lived, there was large amounts of kaolin visible in the ground. It looks like white chalk. I found it interesting when I lived there that pregnant women would sometimes purify it and eat it. My grandmother said that small portions had been eaten by pregnant women for many generations, and it gave healthy babies. They craved it, they said, because you could smell it in the air within the area. A biology professor explained while I was in college that it was based on nutritional needs, but that pregnant women of the tribe had eaten it for generations because it draws out toxic minerals of normal foods.
That's really interesting about the kaolin. Posted via Mobile Device

Re: Weird things you do during your pregnancy....
Remembering the first time my wife was pregnant, in her country ... no concept of a 24 hour store there, no super-walmart or anyplace to go shopping late at night and ...
about 1:00 AM, she woke me up and announced in her language, "I'm SO HUNGRY for lemons. I have to have one right now."
Lemons weren't even in season, so I couldn't have found any even if I had a place to shop at that hour ... Ah, our first craving ...
Second pregnancy, she became SO WILDLY AMOROUS that she WORE ME OUT!!! I struggled MIGHTILY to keep up ... and she was like that up until about 2 weeks before our second daughter was born. We actually still joke about that time, and how high her drive was ... she jokes about me hiding from her (I didn't, I was ready to take my medicine I just couldn't handle any more than she was dishing out ... )

When I was pregnant, I could not stand the smell of raw or cooked meat in the house. Hubs had to get all the meat out. If he wanted it, he had to cook it outside and eat it outside.
I craved veggies and fruit. Started every morning with a big glass of OJ, and ended my night with a big glass of chocolate milk.
no I haven't - they said that she was laying really high up and near the back
no-one knew, NO-ONE - saw my friends the weekend before, was drinking and smoking and all sorts all the way through
madness huh? funnily enough the same thing happened to the nurse who was with me in the labour ward - she had a medical for a new job and found out she was 8 months pregnant!
I was in the papers and everything - one woman was a bit older and thought she was going through the menopause (no periods). She was opening a new pub with her husband, felt a bit ill, went upstairs to sit in the bathroom and had her baby down the toilet!
I could not drink coffee as the baby got bigger and pushed my stomach up in my ribcage. The acid was very irritating. Our daughter hiccuped inside--it felt really strange to have these little motions there.
With my second pregnancy I was nauseous for 6 months. Could not stand the smell of food. I only gained 15 pounds, and our son was so skinny looking at 6 pounds, 5 oz! He kicked me a lot, and I would push on my stomach to get him to move to a different spot.
I'm still laughing about the socks...I've met someone who didn't know she was preggers til the birth. Tiny woman, too. I don't get it! But not for me to 'get', LOL.
