Q: drinking milk during pregnancy

in the last two weeks I've drank (more like devoured) 11 and a half gallons of milk, i never liked milk before, and now I drink it all the time, just plain milk. I also find that i like plain cheese as well, the other night i actually pulled out the cheddar block and started cutting slices and eating them. Which is also weird for me.

I know its weird, but almost 12 gallons in 2 weeks? Why dairy of all things? lol I also find that I'm clumsier then before. and becoming uncoordinated. The other day I was at my boyfriend's house eating cake with him, and dropped it, so he got another piece and said this time he'd hold it. lol

lol. Yeah, well I know I'm driving my bf insane, I woke him up a 2am to make me some ramen, he gets up to make it and then I ended up not wanting it after all. So he ate it. But yeah, I also put honey on everything, fried potatoes, eggs, ramen, pie, toast, french toast, waffles, pancakes, hash browns, you name it, and I suddenly can;t stand pizza or pickles. Its so weird.

I can't stand anything fried or greasy (MINUS pizza & hot wings, which I enjoyed by having like 8 wings, and 3 pieces of pizza yesterday haha!) right now, which is awesome because I'm staying super healthy! I craved & had subway for 3 days in a row, and could probably eat it everyday. I have to put salt & pepper on EVERYthing.

I HAVE to have a glass of milk every morning, but I don't have to drink it to that extent! haha

your probably craving dairy so much because your body is trying to tell you it needs more calcium.....12 gallons is a lot

evern if i wasnt lactose intolerant i dont think i could have that much milk eww lol

krystine you need so much more water when pregnant because your body has to replenish the amnotic fluid like every day or every other day, not sure which one, and thats a LOT of fluid, also you have to be sure you stay hydrated

wildwoodflower, thats good that you cant eat greesy or fried foods, not only will it help you eat healthier but those are notorious for causing heartburn later on...i LOVE subway too, i could live off just subway for the rest of my life lol

You also need water because your blood volume is building.

omg me too, I was cutting up plain cheddar the other night and last night, and I'm on my 12th gallon of milk, soon to be 13th probably sometime tomorrow.Its crazy, but i do crave ice cream, no yogurt. But yeah its crazy and earlier I was at the store with my sister and couldnt leave without a mountain dew and a bag of twizzlers. I normally hate mountain dew when I'm not preg and love Dr.Pepper, and now I hate Dr.Pepper and love mountain dew.

Cravings are fun. The weirdest combination I've seen (not me personally) was Ice Cream and Pickles... together. No joke, I almost threw up watching her eat it...
