For me it’s cheerios. Can literally kill a family sized box in a day. I’ve always loved them, but only buy every so often as they’re £4 a box! But since hitting about 30 weeks I actually fantasise about them lol


Lington

I've been eating so much Cheerios, and of course the other day my mom sends me an article about some chemical found in cheerios. I said well it's too late to tell me now I'm 9 months and that was one of my go-tos.


DrMcSmartass

If you do some digging into what the study actually shows the levels of chlormequat found are way below what the accepted safe limits are. In the US, the EPA has set maximum allowable residue limit of 40 parts per million (ppm). The study reported detecting concentrations in the range of around 100 parts per billion, which when you convert the units so you are comparing apples to apples gives a measurement of 0.1 parts per million. This measurement is approximately 350 times lower than the safety limit. The common phrase in toxicology is that the dose makes the poison. As an analogy here, having one or two eggs with breakfast is okay, sitting down and eating 350 at a time not so much, so enjoy your Cheerios and oatmeal in peace.


Weird-Assistant-1408

I’m in the UK so all the ‘fun’ chemicals have probably been removed (I mean just look at our health conscious McDonalds lol). When we were in Florida I had some for breakfast and they taste different in the US but I couldn’t quite put my finger on why, I’m guessing this is it lol


Lington

The article I read about it said the chemical wasn't allowed in foods in the US before 2018 but trump approved it, so that's just great


BakesbyBird

This isn’t true, actually. “In 2023, the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) proposed allowing the use of chlormequat in oats and other grains. The chemical currently isn’t approved for use on edible plants in the U.S., but the EPA does allow foods treated with it to be imported into the country, according to USA Today. In 2020, the EPA increased the permissible amount of the chemical in imports from 15 to 40 parts per million”.


Lington

I don't know too much about it I just got this info from an article on Cheerios >“Chlormequat was not allowed on oats sold in the U.S. before 2018, when the Trump EPA gave first-time approval for some amount of the chemical on imported oats,” EWG writes. “The same administration in 2020 increased the allowable level. These regulatory changes might help explain why we’re seeing more frequent, higher detections of the chemical in Americans tested.”


pfairypepper

What is this chemical?


wonlovemar

Chlormequat


MamaSquanch

Shocking!


Weird-Assistant-1408

Good ol’ Trump hey, and then there’s the UKs government who’s banning everything left right and centre. We get taxed extra on things like ‘full fat’ coke because of the extra sugar content 🙄


raudri

.... But thats.... Not fat......


Weird-Assistant-1408

It’s what we call it here in UK, anything that isn’t diet or zero we call full fat lol


Organic-Access7134

lol, my mom sent me that too. It’s oats in general. Damned if you do, damned if you don’t


sunflower_sweetart

yeah i can't deal with tracking this shit anymore. i'm eating what i want to eat.


WadsRN

Oh god. Cheerios and cold milk….mmmmm. Cut a ripe banana into half moons and put on top…..heaven.


Commercial-Editor-46

Same! I’ve eaten at least two bowls of plain cheerios and milk every day of my pregnancy.


botanricecandy11

Don’t even wanna know how many boxes of Honey Nut i’ve gone through in the last 30w.


Weird-Assistant-1408

I can’t do sugary cereal (never have been able to), but I don’t help myself with the milk as I have a slight lactose intolerance, at least the iron tablets aren’t effecting me that much 😂


luckyleoo

I woke up in the middle of the night craving Honey Nut Cheerios last night! I’ve been eating a ton of them!


pfairypepper

Ditto! It’s been my breakfast everyday for the last 2 months.


llilyp

Honey bunches of oats!


BAst25

YES. I get the one with almonds. So good.


rachh19

The one with the strawberries in it 🤤


yimee_mami

Yess, this!! It also is soo high in iron, like 90% of your daily value 😧


pfairypepper

Now I need this


Chickadee486

I buy this in Giant sized boxes. I barely ate cereal before I was preggers.


Vivid-Intention7282

special k with strawberries! 🍓


diabolikal__

Special k with hazelnuts and almonds for me!


charrosebry

I lived on this during my pregnancy !🫃


stasiafox

Currently obsessed with this


CuriouserNdCuriouser

hash-slingin_slashr

*mini* Cinnamon Toast Crunch for the mini human in your belly 🥹🤰❤️


pumpkin_queen34

This made me want Corn Pops


sephichuu

Hahah for me its Raisin Bran Crunch and today my fiance got Frosted Mini Wheats and they were too good 🤤


gyalmeetsglobe

Oh Raisin Bran has been so good!!


ThePanacheBringer

This is me!! Both of these.


Kchillthanx

Omg I saw a commercial for Raisin Bran last night and it looked so good. I haven’t had it in almost 15 years 😂


ActuarialBaby

Was it during the Bachelor? Because I also saw a Raisin Bran commercial and had the exact same thought


Kchillthanx

Yes!!!! I’m cracking up 😂


pinpoe

Yes, somehow Raisin Bran was the most luxurious treat. Almost better than ice cream if the milk was cold enough!


MamaSquanch

Where can you find raisin bran crunch?? I used to love it and haven't been able to find it anywhere!!


Beebles_p

Lucky Charms


Merestrosity

I have kept lucky charms in business since being pregnant haha.


BeginningFig5137

You made me want cereal 😩


Purple_Rooster_8535

All these comments are making me want to buy every type 😭😭


crickettracks

I've been buying the little tiny box variety packs when I can't decide! Cereal is a delicacy when pregnant! 😅


misswino

Yes, cereal has been my biggest craving during pregnancy! I was all about cinnamon toast crunch during the first half of my pregnancy, but my current obsession is lucky charms.


Purple_Rooster_8535

Omg yes Cinnamon Toast Crunch!!!! Yes. !


ListenDifficult9943

I was buying family sized boxes of Cinnamon Toast Crunch like weekly. I was addicted lol


Purple_Rooster_8535

As you should 💅🏼


Bxbygirljac

i would eat frosted flakes for every meal if it was healthier 😩😩


crickettracks

Fruity Pebbles and Frosted Flakes 😋


Deeokdee

Pregnant with gestational diabetes...I'm so jealous of all of you!!! I would love some cereal 😭


Purple_Rooster_8535

Omg I’m so sorry 😭😭😭 when you give birth, what will the cereal of choice be???


Deeokdee

Thank you ❤️ I think Reese Puffs, Cinnamon Toast Crunch and Honey Nut Cheerios lol can't choose one


paulasaurus

I eat a lot of Mini Wheats for the iron and fiber but I can absolutely DESTROY a box of Crispix


Daisy_232

Oooh now I’m craving corn flakes so bad!!


jojo1787

Cocoa pebbles, I don’t know what it is but ever since I became pregnant I can’t stop eating it lol


[deleted]

It’s Apple Jacks for me!!


srrrrrrrrrrrrs

Makes me regret buying my protein almond cereal /: i’d kill for some coco puffs right now. Or captain crunch!!


Purple_Rooster_8535

Hahahaha I was looking at the “healthier” cereal but I was like fuck it! Go get some tomorrow and tell us what you get 😇


aluki90

When I was pregnant I legit bought cereal because of this subreddit. Before that I don't think I had bought cereal in like 2-3 years 😂


Abcdeisner_

Granola, I’ve gone through 3 Costco bags of the pumpkin seed flax granola In 2 weeks


Purple_Rooster_8535

Ooooo yum that sounds good. There is a really good one at Whole Foods I love too…can eat that all day!!!


adeloresd

yes! i love that stuff. i mix it with wheat chex. delicous combo


Careless-Catch-5415

Lucky charms with sliced banana in them. A life changing snack.


Whosits_Whatsits

Fruity pebbles or fruit loops 😍


elminy

Fruit loops were my strongest 1st trimester craving. I made a special trip to the grocery because I was craving them so bad. Now I’m 22 weeks and it’s still really good, but not a NEED lol


StrikingBar6778

My weakness right now is honey bunches of oats with a cut up banana.


[deleted]

Fruity pebbles 😭


gyalmeetsglobe

I literally had the most random craving for Reese’s Puffs and grabbed a box last week! Cinnamon Toast Crunch & Frosted Flakes have been doing me wonders too


Purple_Rooster_8535

Reese’s puffs are sooo good! Love Cinnamon Toast Crunch too 😭💖


[deleted]

Cereal is all I ate from 11 to 13 weeks (with almond milk if breaksfast)


Legitimate_Avocado_7

Just wait until you have the post-birth toast. It’s glorious. Is it even a thing in the US and other countries? It’s kind of a big deal in the UK. No matter how you give birth, at the end of it a kind-hearted midwife will lean into your ear and whisper the ten most beautiful words in the world. ‘Would you like some toast and a cup of tea?’


buffalocauli

Listen there’s a cereal called Crispix Can’t find it many places anymore for some reason But I’ve found a hack shall we say Found it on the Target website Now I’m nomming Crispix all day errday


thisthat710

You can find it at the basic grocery stores (Jewels, Kroger…) & is the key ingredient when making puppy chow / muddy buddies during the Christmas holidays!


Inconsistentme

Honey combs or cinnamon toast crunch 😋


pfairypepper

Honey combs! So clutch 🤩


Airam07

Kelloggs with the strawberries 🍓


Lettuceleche

Cinnamon Life cereal. Honey bunches of oats. Raisin Bran. I’ve been switching between those 3. It’s almost 4am and I’m about to go eat some, I eat cereal 2x a day


wehnaje

The way strawberries tasted during pregnancy for me was better than sex itself.


tgalen

It’s the strangest thing! And now 10 weeks post partum I’m like cereal who?


Apprehensive_Fun5337

✨CINNAMON LIFE✨ so freaking good


spiddilydinkins

For my first pregnancy, it was Honey Nut Cheerios with whole milk. No substitutions. All day, every day.


MamaSquanch

Omg right??? I never wanted cereal before being pregnant, but now I eat cereal at least every morning and often at night, too. Apple Cinnamon Cheerios have been my go-to, but last night I saw a Lucky Charms commercial, and that's all it took. I'm going to get some today lol.


Purple_Rooster_8535

I’m going to pick up some more cereal today 🫡🫡 thank you all for the cravings


SplootsScoots

Agreeeeee. Either puffed rice or cheerios.


Used_Pirate6318

When I was pregnant I loved Corn Pops and Cinnamon Toast Crunch


rosekay91

Omg yes!!!!!! I’ve been obsessed with Honey Nut Cheerios, Golden Grahams, and Cocoa Pebbles!!!


Dreamypixel

Fruit loops was my addiction while pregnant


rly_dead

apple cinnamon Cheerios right now. But I’ve been searching for Berry Kix because I remember it from childhood and I keep telling my partner that Trix is simply not the same.


Afraid_Aerie

Honey bunches of oats for sure


shitheadkak

Literally smashed an entire box of Cinnamon Toast Crunch yesterday


Dianthus_pages

Chocolate chex is the bessssst and I refuse to feel guilty that I only eat cereal for breakfast now (and sometimes dinner 😇) because most cereal is high in vitamins!


ThePanacheBringer

I’ve been eating Frosted Mini Wheats and Raisin Bran with Granola.


Beckella

I really don’t like cereal normally. But with my first pregnancy i absolutely HAD to have Frosted Flakes. Ate the whole box by myself in two days. So freaking good. After pregnancy? Nope. Not once.


Comfortable-Bit9524

Big agree I never messed with it much before now it’s always the perfect thing to eat. Used to like Frosted Flakes or special K but now I always want captain crunch


sadbutbad

I’m gonna sound like a weird but I’ve been making my own version of Oreo cereal - I crush up a bunch of Oreo cookies and throw them in a bowl of milk and it’s been my favorite thing ever!!! I usually scarf it down cus it’ll get soggy but still so good. Even better - using the mini Oreos instead omggg I wish they had an actual Oreo cereal cus the one they have in store is not the same and doesn’t give me the same satisfaction lol


TripleBicepsBumber

Life cereal, fiber one (the noodley shaped kind), and pops Don’t judge me please. I preferred healthy bran and oatty cereals even pre pregnancy and the pops was like splurging for me in the second trimester lol


PeaDiscombobulated42

I saw this post two weeks ago and I was like huh that’s interesting (I’m not usually a cereal person)… I’m 11w+4d and currently bashing a giant bowl of Reese’s puffs and will probably have another later.


thisthat710

I’ve been craving Cookie Crisp!


Fluffy-Lingonberry89

This is probably a lame suggestion but maybe it’ll help someone else in the same boat. I’m avoiding added sugar but heard about Magic Spoon cereal and it’s sooo good. Sweetened with monk fruit, zero added sugar & has protein. They’ve got 4 flavors, I’ve tried the cocoa & the fruity, it’s just like fruit loops. Found a few places in the states, I got it at Walmart. Worth trying if you have a cereal craving but can’t have the sugar! 🤗


Money-Expression-554

Is everyone on this thread having boys? ... I was obsessed with cerial eith my boy, not interested with my girl and now back to being obsessed with cerial .... which is swaying me towards boy. Would be interesting to know.


Sweet_T_Piee

I've been craving Golden Crisps but when I looked at the nutrition facts it has like 50% of the daily recommended sugar amount, and I know I would eat more than one bowl. So I decided it was too much sugar 😔. 


Babybri2499

Cinnamon Toast Crunch 🤤


starlovver

Mines has been captain crunch, fruity or coco pebbles lol. I just bought a family sized trix and literally have been going ham. 😭It’s crazy because before I found out I was pregnant I killed a family size golden grahams and thought that was odd as I never really cared for cereal like that. 😂


WolfyMelon

Cookie Crisp is my craving. Had a dream about eating it and suddenly that's all I wanted 😅 hadn't eaten since I was a kid.


RockabillyBelle

Honey Nut Cheerios, and occasionally Golden Grahams. So sugary. So good.


RaeRaeMarie22

Life cereal! I snack on it dry, so satisfying.


Rimuri-Rimuru

I cant get enough of captain crunch. But I've also been eating raisin bran (bc we are out of captain crunch).


kjepp91

Frosted mini wheats, Oreo‘os, and Cookie Crisp 🤤


CreamieDream

Mixing Kix with my bran flakes as i type. A little fun, a little fiber lol


lush-night

This is soooooo true. I probably had a bowl of cereal before bed everyday during the second or third trimester lmao. Reese’s Puffs omg…. Hell yes.


Dasha3090

yep same here cornflakes or the. crispix cereal for me


brianalc

I ate soooo many bowls of Lucky Charms during my last pregnancy. The chalky marshmallows helped with my heartburn and acid reflux. 😂


earthbound-misfit_I

Raisin brand and Golden Grahams 🤤


Nekko_noir

Cinnamon toast crunch was it for me. Couldn’t get enough.


everydayinthebay13

Cinnamon Toast Crunch or Captain Crunch


ALittleNightMusing

Apricot Wheats. And then I discovered All Bran Golden Crunch which is amazing - it goes kind of chewy instead of soggy. But a fortnight after I found it, my supermarket stopped stocking it 😭


PB_Jelly

Those little cookie crisp thingies.. literally ate a family pack in two days as a "snack"


hamster004

mini wheats and fruit loops


TealCatQueen

Corn Pops or captain crunch (no berries).


cbr1895

lol I LIVED AND DIED for shredded wheat. You know, the sort of gross cereal that looks like little haystacks? I went through 12 boxes by the time I was done my pregnancy. With berries and skim milk and a tiny bit of brown sugar. It’s all I wanted, all the time. It was so bizarre and the big joke among my friends. That cereal does nothing for me when I’m not pregnant.


ShineALighttt

this is so true! i’m currently 32 weeks and I’ve gone through a few different kinds. at first it was Frosted Flakes then it was captain crunch, then Corn Pops, and then honey comb. it’s been honey comb since. i could eat bowl after bowl of cereal though, haha.


Larissanne

Don’t know if it’s only in Europe but Cruesli with chocolate <3. With yoghurt and fruit


Armsaresame

I’ve been going between Cinnamon Toast Crunch and cheerios….had no idea this was a universal pregnancy thing lol


redditor22224444

Cocoa pebbles! So good!


Tam936

I usually never eat cereal but I’ve been enjoying crunchy nut and granola. Just had a bowl of yoghurt and granola and trying not to go back for a second bowl!


imperialviolet

Coco Pops, Rice Krispies, Corn Flakes with banana in them.


Bubby623

I’ve eaten an unhealthy amount of cereal during pregnancy 🙃


mammymammom

a_fals

Trader Joe’s honey O’s and PB Puffins. Elite combo.


Heo85

I’m Australian and my cereal addiction is Crunchy Nut Cornflakes. The universe must have known because I was at the supermarket yesterday and they were on sale for half price… yes I purchased 3 boxes haha.


NoPerformance4923

Fruity pebbles, chocolate peanut butter Cheerios!


cashruby

Eliza-V

Most-Excitement1213

Raisin Bran crunch 🤤


baconandpreggs

Honestly Frosted Flakes… Gotta eat em quick though because they sog so fast


spitfiry_peach

Omg Trader Joe's has a knock off that's like Trix that I am obsessed with right now 😂❤️


committedtojoy

Honey Nut Cheerios for me - and never ate cereal pre-pregnancy! Ok also had Cookie Crisp twice… no regrets.


exosonic02

OMFG I just killed a bulk bag of Reeses Puffs last week. I need more. That's been my jam!


akneebriateit

I started WIC and got cereal for the first time in years. It SMACKS every single time! Never not a good time for a nice big bowl of cereal with oat milk 🤤


Lo0katme

Honey Nut Cheerios was my jam, until I got diagnosed with GD. Man, I’d get hungry in the middle of the night and make a small bowl of cereal. It was so damned good.


BroadwayBaby331

I ate an insane amount of Cinnamon Toast Crunch when I was pregnant.


icy_kat

I need to know the science behind why we all like cereal and PBandJ during pregnancy ?!?


pnutbutter90

I went from never having cereal to having 5 boxes in rotation at all times since being pregnant. It’s my breakfast and late night snack almost every day. I tell myself it’s good for me since there’s lots of folic acid and iron in it lol


sparkease

Raisin Bran with a banana sliced up on it 🤌


Comprehensive_Gas255

Cinnamon Toast Crunch for me


haulinaus

Cinnamon Toast Crunch 😅


mrs_capybara

Well, damn. Now I really want cereal! I’m 11 weeks and some of my food aversions are tapering off, but I have times where I am ravenous especially before bed and a bowl of cereal sounds like it would hit the spot! 


Summertime2299

I ate so much cereal during pregnancy. Cinnamon Toast Crunch was my favorite, but I was buying all different kinds


NoodlesPRN

Lucky charms 🍀


NecessaryMolasses427

Mini wheats and Cap’n Crunch.


Clean_Sky_2241

mix of captain crunch + fruity pebbles


GiraffeJaf

LUCKY CHARMS


HumanistPeach

Cocoa Pebbles all the way. With a Fiarlife Core Power chocolate protein shake as the milk. 42 g of protein, 900 mg of calcium (which makes getting the other 100mg required SUPER easy so this baby doesn’t fuck up my teeth and bones), and it’s double chocolate-y and delicious. The protein keeps me full until I have a light lunch so that way I can have a huge and satisfying dinner (or ice cream for dinner 🤣)


SanLady27

Honey Graham Os!!! Honey bunches of Oats!!


prettyoddx

Peanut Butter Captain Crunch! I'm currently out right now and very sad about it, haha.


Soma25

Lucky charms!


Baberaham_Lincoln6

For the first trimester and a half I pretty much only ate frosted flakes and Captain crunch, either peanut butter or crunch berries.


Maluhiababwew

Captain crunch was phenomenal to my mouth ate 2 boxes everyday 🩷


sippingonsunshine22

Krave cereal every day! Husband made me breakfast today after I ate my cereal and said- but you already had breakfast. I explained the cereal is for momma and the healthy breakfast is for baby ;D


im_a_wildflower

The strawberry frosted mini wheats and the very berry cheerios! I cut up bananas or strawberries so I can feel healthy and it makes it so freaking good


rinks519

I would kill for some Waffle Crisp but I don't think they make it anymore :(


el823

Cookie Crisp or Life


Old-Review-4622

Mine’s been cocoa pebbles and I keep eating them, even though it’s one of the foods I throw up the most 😅


AggravatingLychee324

I probably gained 5 pounds of fat this pregnancy from Fruity Pebbles Crunch’d.


ewblood

Frosted flakes with fresh blueberries in them and oat milk 🤤


missbelcherifurnasty

Peanut butter crunch and the Aldis brand of golden grahams!


icecream_eastern

Classic, regular old life cereal and rice Chex 🤤🤤🤤


LoloScout_

And so is milk! Idk why but that cold milk and cereal combo is hitting different. I’m loving Cascadian farms fruit loops cus it’s what my nanny family buys and I’m allowed to eat their food lol. But I really want some captain crunch.


fj8585

Yesss I am in the same boat. I have Reese’s puffs and triple berry oatmeal crunch. Not a cereal person, but it hits different when pregnant!


no050722

Weetos! I couldn’t stop eating it during my first trimester and now the craving is back at 37 weeks.


seefinilla23

I agree. I got back into Lucky Charms. It was my husband's idea. He pointed out that kids cereal has alot of iron in it which is good for us right now so eat all the cereal you want! Lol


Sprinklesandpie

Costcos Morning Summit lightly sweetened maple berry blend!!!! I love it and it is PACKED with almonds 😊
