Craving Dairy, anyone else?

[Amethyst76]

This is my first pregnancy and I'm not sure what to expect. I eat a kosher diet, lots of vegetables and legumes, little meat and hardly any dairy. But these last two weeks I cannot get enough dairy, I am actually waking in the middle of the night wanting a glass of milk. I'm so puzzled! Why would that be?

I was craving dairy in my first pregnancy and it turned out I had to be put on a calcium supplement.

It's probably your body's way of making sure you get the calcium and healthy fats that it needs right now. I would just go with it.

At least dairy isn't bad for you.

i dont have cravings but i do really fancy some cheese, i went to the shop and bought bread and cheese- toasted cheese for dinner tonight, mmmm.

I'm enjoying dairy more too! Previously I had gone vegan but the tiredness and grumpiness set in and I went back to my old ways haha!!!

Every morning up until about three weeks ago, I had a huge glass of milk. Plus, since about 20 plus weeks my main craving has been ice cream.

I avoid dairy usually but absolutely can not get enough cheese during pregnancy.

Yep! With my first I drank gallons of chocolate milk. This time I'm all about the plain skimmed milk!
