Anyone else craving meat since pregnant?

Question

I'm 7 weeks today and I'm finding it hard to eat atm due to nausea and not enjoying my food. The only things I've been eating this week are pot noodles, co op donuts, crisps, and chips with curry sauce (healthy I know 😔). I've been vegan since Jan and I've been absolutely fine without meat until a couple of weeks ago.. I keep fancying chicken and soy alternatives aren't satisfying this. Opting for meatier flavoured crisps & pot noodles as I obviously don't want to eat meat it's just hard with my body vs morals atm. My partner is vegan and we want to raise our children vegan too

Answer

I haven't eaten meat in like 10 years, but I've been craving chicken tenders and crispy chicken sandwich type things. Basically some deep fried, crispy chicken 😅

Answer

I am 31 weeks pregnant and in first trimester I felt the exact same way! I craved hamburgers and dairy like cheese or cream cheese. It was tough because prepregnancy I never craved anything non vegan and was actually repulsed by it. Like you most things sounded gross so it was tough dealing with those cravings. I didn't give in the hamburgers, I went to Harveys and A&W; for their veggie burgers and those were satisfying! I did however give in to cream cheese a few times in first trimester, I couldn't find a good vegan dupe and the craving for cream cheese on bagels was making me cry and overwhelmed. I felt pretty guilty because when 15 weeks hit all the cravings went away so if I had just been patient it would have just went away on its own. honestly though if you do give  in, try not to be too hard on yourself and

Answer
