First Time Mom Question?

Question

So this is my very first pregnancy and I am 26 weeks. I’m constantly on this page looking at what everyone goes through just to double check that I’m normal I guess lol. But has anyone else not at all gotten any full fledged cravings or any need to start nesting? Like okay, yes I really want some foods but it’s not like a “I’ll cry if I don’t have it”. I have already started on her nursery with buying things but I don’t feel the need to nest and redo everything and make sure everything is perfect for her arrival. Just curious as to if anyone else has experienced this.

Answer

That still sounds like a craving. Just not a meltdown level craving. 😂🤷🏻‍♀️ Consider yourself lucky. I cried yesterday because my boyfriend got back from the store and he didn’t have cream cheese to go with my cinnamon raisin bagels. (Both of which are unmeasurably necessary, but 0% satisfying without the other.)

Answer

I haven’t had any cravings or nesting urges yet either!

Answer

Hey we have the same due date! I’m the same way- literally only pregnancy symptom is my growing belly and constant need to pee haha. I haven’t had mood swings, cravings or nesting yet.

Answer

With my first child I didn't get bad cravings often and I didn't start nesting until I was past 28 weeks I was just to tired and didn't see the need in it as I had plenty of time. I'm currently 24+4 weeks and I only have bad cravings when I'm upset and nesting hasnt hit yet,  I'm so stressed with having a 10 month old and being 6 months that I probably won't nest until I have to 😂 Every women is going to react differently to pregnancy.

Answer

27 weeks tomorrow, not only that I don't have cravings, I also mostly just cut foods from my list haha
Even stuff that I could eat daily before (Chinese for example), I can barely stand it now. No nausea or vomiting, but I still can't stand coffee and I was a double (black) espresso type of girl.
I have to force myself to eat meat. Regarding nesting.. I still haven't bought a single thing yet (Black Friday is coming though :D) but I am a bit more obsessed with cleaning.

Answer

With my first pregnancy, nesting didn't kick in til like week 35. So its possible that as you approach baby's due date, you'll feel a stronger urge. :)
As far as cravings, every pregnancy is different. Its totally normal to have them, and totally nornal not to. But what you described does sound like low-key cravings. If you have your mind set on a certain kind of food and keep thinking about it, I'd consider it a craving.

Answer

First trimester I could not get enough peaches.  That is all I would think about.  After the first trimester I haven't craved/wanted anything.  I just want to eat when hungry.  I do crave lemonade from day 1 to now(28+4), but that's it.  As for nesting I started on that in second trimester simply because we had to do some construction on the room.  It still isn't 100% done, but I have all I need and it is decorated.

Answer

Girl, with my youngest I nearly had a mental breakdown because I could not get a Boston creme donut randomnly at 11pm. So I waited up restless until 4 am, drove to 3 different places then returned to dunkin donuts 3x until the teenage staff finally opened their drivethrough (Late!) at 540am. When he handed the damn donut to me...i seriously cried. I ate it driving home & went to bed finally.

Answer

I have had 0 cravings and I am nesting like a crazy person. Lol

Answer

With my first, nesting totally hit, as well as cravings. I craved burgers(and I only eat veggie burgers but I wanted beef, so I ate beef!), EVERY SINGLE DAY. And sprite. And I am NOT a soda drinker. I’ll take maybe a couple sips and I’m done. I was downing Sprite like there was no tomorrow! This pregnancy? Nothing. No cravings. I’ll want food and “crave” something, but not the “OMG IVE GOT TO HAVE IT” cravings. It’s all normal type cravings, if you want to even call it a craving. I am hungrier, but that’s about it. 🤷🏼‍♀️
