@pengsmith This is me with doritos locos tacos right and chicken nuggets right now. Like... wtf, normally I wouldn't even feed that stuff to the chickens, but now it's suddenly edible and... tasty?
7 weeks and all I want is a McDonald’s hashbrown

@happilyretired I feel this in my soul, but I have yet to find a suitable substitute as I was diagnosed with a potato allergy last year.

@happilyretired They do make some substitutes, but you just don't get the same satisfaction. Haha. I've been trying to get through it by getting zucchini tots from my local grocery store. Still smells like tater tots, but they're a little bit softer.

@lorriep Solidarity - I also have a potato allergy. It is a sad world without potatoes! Salt & Vinegar chips were my craving my first trimester and I had several failed attempts making other veggie chips in my air fryer. I ended up finding chips at the store made from chicken?? So bizarre but it helped me survive lol

@happilyretired Oh man carbs were just about the only thing that sounded appealing the entire first trimester for me. I hope you get all the hashbrowns you desire!

@happilyretired Just an FYI for anyone who has the same cravings I did. McDonald's hamburgers and cheeseburgers microwave nicely. I used to have my husband bring home a literal sack of burgers once a week and zap one in the middle of the night for my second dinner. Okay okay, third dinner.
@happilyretired I practically survived off buttered toast and chocolate milk for the first 15 weeks. I say eat whatever you want and can actually handle.

@happilyretired Ah first trimester...where I ate more sausage biscuits with egg than I have in the last few years combined.

@happilyretired Solid choice! It's all about survival which for me also meant enchiladas for some reason. I literally couldn't plan meals because I never knew what was going to sound like something I'd be willing to eat.

@happilyretired My first as well although I'm at the other end of the journey with 4 weeks to go. You got this! Just remember it will get better.
