I CRAVE LEMON WITH SALT.

Melted cheese! ANYTHING with melted cheese on it. I also cannot eat hardly any meat unless it is very light on a hot sandwich with melted cheese, or pizza with melted cheese, nachos with melted cheese....you get the picture. No steaks or chicken breasts which I usually enjoy a lot. My butt is going to be so big if I don't stop - but it almost seems like anything without the melted cheese gives me indigestion (except Special K cereal). P.S. I never really believed the stories about craving things like fingernails and dirt and gas and wet sponges(?) until I saw several posts on here. WTF? How could our bodies be so messed up?

I have had the strangest cravings in the past few weeks--spinach & McDonalds big macs ( not together ) and one of my favorites was baked beans, now even to mention the name makes me sick !

First it was just little odd things like - I wonder how this pickle would taste with marshmallow fluff? Then I couldn't get enough oranges - orange soda, orange ade, orange juice, etc . . . My sister-in-law keeps saying it's too early to be having cravings but I can't seem to help it. Also - I was a huge meat-eater and now can't stand any pork or sausage. I can eat beef and chicken but it s not the same as before I was pregnant.
