Let’s be honest, when someone is pregnant they are super hungry. They might have cravings for some pretty typical things, but you might want some things that are a little more off the wall too (namely pickles and ice cream). Every woman wants something a little different, and that is okay there is no right or wrong when it boils down to your cravings. Sometimes something on television might spark a craving, sometimes talking about a certain food might spark it, or maybe it might just pop into your head, but no matter how your craving hits you need it and you need it now.
Do you know what preggo food cravings you have? Do you go for more sweet, savory, or salty things? Do you even really have cravings at all? Do you go for more crazy items or are you pretty typical with your cravings? Maybe in one pregnancy, you had some pretty odd cravings, but in another pregnancy, you had some pretty typical cravings. Every pregnancy is different and you can not predict what your cravings are going to be. Take our quiz and pick your pregnancy cravings and we will tell you how many kids you are going to have.
Hot dogs
Hot dogs are a barbecue staple. Plus they are so easy to make. You throw them on the grill for a few minutes, put them on a bun, then put whatever toppings you want on them. You can put everything from simple ketchup and mustard to sauerkraut, pickles, or even seaweed on them!
Coffee
Coffee does not really go along with pregnancy really well, unless you are opting for decaf. That usually means you are forgoing some delicious concoctions though. Plus, you aren't getting that crucial kick that caffeine gives you to get you going throughout the day.
Pickles
Pickles are the trademark pregnancy craving. What is super weird is that new mamas really like the combination of pickles and ice cream. Does not really seem to go together, but hey to each their own. Pickles seem to be that go to salty snack for all the pregos out there though.
Ice cream
Who doesn't crave ice cream? The great thing about it is that it comes in so many flavors. You can go the traditional route and get flavors like chocolate, vanilla, or strawberry, or you can get more off the wall flavors like bubblegum, cotton candy, or peanut butter cup. Yum.
Apple pie
What is more American than apple pie? Pretty much nothing. Grabbing a slice of this delicious pie warmed up with a scoop of vanilla ice cream is pretty much heaven on earth. It is a great way to cheer yourself up if you are having a rough day and you just need a little pick me up.
Hershey bar
A Hershey bar is a candy bar that has been around seemingly forever. It is a simple candy bar that consists of nothing more than just chocolate. There is nothing wrong with that when the chocolate is done right. heck, there is a whole theme park dedicated to this candy bar.
Sushi
Sushi is not on the recommended dining list to eat while pregnant. Who knows if there is something wrong with the fish and you can get really sick. Imagine how bad that would be for the baby. However, this tasty meal is delicious with a little wasabi and some pickled ginger.
Black licorice
Let's start this off by saying that black licorice is not for everyone. it has a sharp flavor that does not really hit everyone's taste buds, but those who like it really, really love it. This treat has been around for centuries and is really popular in Europe where they have black licorice stores.

Burritos
Oh yes, the delicious burrito. It is packed with everything you could want in a filling meal.

The only thing a pregnant person has to be careful of is how hot it is as it can induce labor if you are far along.
Potato chips
Potato chips are easy to eat by the handful. Like they say, you can't stop at just one. They also have a ton of different flavors to choose from like sour cream and onion, salt and vinegar, dill pickle, or even just original. You could easily sit on the couch and just pop a bunch of them down.
Turkey sandwich
