We asked moms to tell us which foods they just had to get their hands on during pregnancy and here is what they said (yep, definitely pickles!)

 

 

“French fries thru the whole thing…root beer like you wouldn’t believe.” —MamaT

 

 

“I had a lot of cravings for honey mustard.” —c_helwig89

 

 

“Once the first trimester was over, I thrived on noodles with alfredo/white cheddar sauce and broccoli.” —kaiya23

 

 

“I pretty much ate every form of cake within arm’s reach. Donuts, pastries, muffins, danishes, cookies, cupcakes…” —Jessica

 

 

“I craved AWFUL foods—Twix, and pretzels stuffed with cheese.” —WWmama

 

 

 

“I have cravings for apple juice and fried chicken wings with ranch, but thankfully not together.” —lena241

 

 

“One week I ate ONLY chicken quesadillas—Breakfast. Lunch. Dinner.” —HarperKsMommy

 

 

“My one and only really weird craving was pickle juice. I would drink it right out of the jar. Gross right? My husband always laughed when he saw a full jar of pickles with no juice.” —ra11en

 

 

“Ketchup on everything. I don’t normally like ketchup.” —Mommy2Beans
