The word on the street is that once you get pregnant you get crazy cravings. While I can't yet disagree (I'm only 9w5d), I must say that I do not have crazy cravings. Are some of my cravings strong? Yes!! But I do not want anything wierd like ground beef in my ice cream or anything.
The one thing that I have absolutely craved, probably since 6 or 7 weeks, is pasta. Lots and lots of pasta! I want spaghetti with meatballs, pasta in a tomato cream sauce, fettuccini alfredo, macaroni and cheese, buttered noodles - any type of pasta for crying out loud!! I think I was about 6 weeks along and I went to Noodles & Co. 6 times in 7 days to get pasta. Seriously, nothing sounded delicious or could satisfy my hunger other than pasta. I honestly didn't care if Kurt didn't want it. I did and nothing was stopping me. Thankfully all I wanted in week 7 was steamed vegetables but it doesn't still mean I don't get my serious itch for pasta.
I often visit TheBump.com and chat with other expectant mothers and these pasta/carb cravings are so common they came up with the term Carbivore! While I may have always been a carbivore (I am Italian after all) my pasta loving tendencies have increased tenfold. Kurt has even asked me to just make anything at all but pasta for dinner! Speaking of which, I will be making spaghetti and meatballs tonight!
