McDonald’s craving?!

[jasminnie]

I’m in my first trimester and I’ve just started getting food aversions. Feel sick when I smell, see or even think about food… except McDonald’s burgers and fries. I keep craving them for some reason. Is this normal?

Yes I think so, I've known someone who also had this, it's the McDonald's magic. Why don't you just enjoy and have a McDonald's.

Food aversions are hard, I was so healthy beforehand. And I went offaso much, I just at a point had to supplement, and take protein because all I could eat was apples.

yep pretty common craving, i am the same constantly craving the salty fries and a coke (their coke hits different and i usually dont drink fizzy drinks!) just go with it :)

Oh I loved a mcdonalds when I was pregnant 30 odd years ago.my order was the chicken sandwich meal! Get the mcdonalds

I’m 14 weeks pregnant with my second baby and in both pregnancies I became acquainted on a first name basis with our local Mcdonald’s staff 😂

Isn't it weird I wonder what it is?

Definitely normal. I ate chips from the chippy everyday when I was pregnant 🤭

Early pregnancy and a few weeks into second trimester I craved beige foods so much. I used to stop at the drive thru most days on my way home from work 😂

I was told when I was pregnant that if you had a craving for junk food, McDonalds was the best choice because their food hygiene rules are so strict. Not sure if its the same now with all the franchises though.

Yup, beige food in early pregnancy here too with both DC. Could not stomach veg AT ALL.
Gradually it eased though, and I’m sure it will for you too.

Pretty much lived on mcchicken sandwiches in the first and second trimester when I couldn’t bear the sight or smell of anything else. Doctor fully endorsed this!

I remember my midwife saying eat what you fancy I'd it stays in then it's doing you and the baby good.

I had SUCH a craving for McDonalds in first trimester when normally I'd have one maybe once or twice a year?! A McChicken sandwich was literally the only form of meat I could manage and was obsessed with the salty fries!
Just go for it - for me it went off by second trimester and could eat relatively healthy again. Loads of my friends could only eat beige food in first trimester and had v healthy babies!

Me too. Chicken mcnuggets!

I was obsessed with hot very salty fries from McDonald's. I could have eaten an entire brown paper bag of them most days.
