Over the weekend, I walked into an Ace Hardware store, and there was something about the smell of the place that I just LOVED!! To the extent that I keep taking really deep breaths, hoping to smell that scent combination again, and I'm really trying to come up with an excuse to go there after work! lol So, has anyone else had this kind of thing happen to them? With my first pregnancy, I enjoyed the smell of warm paper fresh off the printer! Am I just weird? :)
That's hilarious. :) I wonder, do you have an iron deficiency? I have a friend who would crave dirt when she was pregnant. She had to stop herself from going out back and chowing down on the yard. She also liked to chew ice when she was pregnant. All of it was because of an iron deficiency she had because of being pregnant. Ace has that metallicy/gardening soil smell doesn't it? Just a thought. ;) Regardless, enjoy!
I couldn't stand the sight, or smell of pasta and marinara sauce with my first pregnancy!
I am loving the smell of the lumber section at home depot!
Food - peaches -peach yogurt, peach smoothies, peach nectar...
Enjoy your trip to Ace, I think you need to look at paint colors for the babies room ; )
I didn't even enjoy the smell of fresh air when I was pregnant! I was so sick that even certain colors made me throw up!
I did have two cravings and they are weird! I craved watching Spongebob Squarepants and eating a Burger King Whopper without the meat. Pregnancy is STRANGE! :)
Enjoy your trip to Ace!
I don't think you're weird. :) When I was pregnant with twins I really enjoyed the smell of bleach and other cleaners. I didn't go around intentionally inhaling them, but if I came across those scents, it was a mood lifter for sure. I mentioned that in an online pregnancy forum and someone insisted that I go to the doctor because she was sure I had pica, even though I had no desire to actually eat/drink cleaners. Lol.
Anyway, since we're sharing...
The weirdest thing that made me nauseous during pregnancy:
An ad for a silk necktie--- For some reason I had an aversion to the print.
The weirdest thing I craved:
A taco with grape jelly and mayo--I DIDN'T eat it! Lol.
The weirdest craving I gave in to:
Coco Puffs cereal ( maybe it was Kix) with chocolate syrup.-- I ate it and it was good. <|:o)
The sight of a LARGE amount of food, used to make me sick.
I had an aversion to meat.
I craved only Code Blue Slurpees from 7-11 and candy!
I was sure my son would be born with Nerds in O. hand and a Snickers bar in the other!
No out of the ordinary cravings for me. Just food. With my first I craved fish and chips (I was a vegetarian at that time). I made my husband drive all over the county in search of the best fish and chips. I think it was the malt vinegar I was actually craving. Conversely, I couldn't stand the smell of pizza though. Hubs was bummed.
With baby #2 I was not a vegetarian and I craved Mexican food. I would just die for a taco! We frequented the local taqueria at least 3 times a week! Just the thought of hot dogs made me want to barf!
I didnt have any weird cravings mine were artichokes, banana peppers and avacados with my first. Couldnt look at lasagna or brats. With the second I wanted Chipotle all the time. no food aversions. My cousin just had her baby and she wanted a grape popsicle in one hand and a pickle in the other.
I worked at Steak and Ale for 6 years. That place always smelled soooo good to me until I was pregnant with my 2nd daughter. All of a sudden it smelled like old grease. And I worked there until I was 38 weeks....
iv always loved the smell of saw dust and it hasnt changed even though im pregnant. i dont find that there any smells that i suddently love that im pregnant its more smells that didnt bother me that now make me wana puke-my fiances work boots/socks, meat cooking, this one candle my mom has, etc.. I will say though as far as foods go there are so many things now that i enjoy eating that 7 months ago i wouldve been like eewwww im not eating that.
With my daughter I craved nachos with the fake cheese and extra jalapenos EVERY DAY for about a month straight. I would drive to the mall, head to the food court, get 2 large orders of nachos,and then grab an extra large lemonade from Hot Dog On A Stick. My husband sat quiety while I sutffed myself every time.
I also got addicted to Dunkin Donuts and tuna sandwiches from Subway!
I've heard of women craving smells during pregnancy-- that's called something, I can't remember what. My ex SIL used to crave the smell of the inside of her shoe and the smell of the car air conditioner. I remember her telling me also that she had licked a couple of rocks. Weirdo!
I've never had any weird cravings myself. For me it was more of a general diet craving. With my oldest daughter, I was so sick all the time, I had NO appetite, so no food ever sounded good. I even had a hard time drinking. With my second pregnancy, healthy food sounded good. I couldn't stand the thought of eating bread or starchy things. I mostly wanted salads & fresh vegetables & lean meats. With this one, I'm craving kid food all the time. Candy, cake, cookies, ice cream, bubble gum, chocolate milk. If it's not good for me, I want it! It sucks!!
When I was pregnant, I craved yogurt, but couldn't stand the smell.
I ate a cupful everyday, holding my nose pinched close. Stupid, ain't it? yeah...it was real funny... :)
