I have done the same thing. I hate beer, the smell the taste, everything about it. But everytime I am pregnant and my husband drinks one I want to just drink it for him. It smells so good. I wouldn’t know if it was good or not, but I cant help to think that it would just taste so good. I think its more of the fact that we cant have one, more than anything.

I had this with my 1st pregnancy, I was about 7 months along and started to crave beer. I don’t even like beer and never drink it, but at that time I had to have it! So I went to the store, bought a can of Budweiser and had like 2 sips of it (right outside the store in front of stunned bystanders). That was it, I was cured. I only had 2 sips and threw away the rest, but my craving was gone. I heard that French women drink a glass of wine a day even while pregnant and it doesn’t seem to hurt their babies. I wouldn’t go that far, but just a taste will do no harm.

It’s completely normal. Not only might your body be craving something that you haven’t had i n awhile, but your mind might be psychologically craving something from your pre-pregnancy life.

I haven’t smoked since I found out I was pregnant, it’s 31 weeks later and I know for a fact that the nicotine is gone from my system, but I still crave a cigarette now and again. Yesterday I was at an art festival and smalled barbecue, that triggered a very strong desire for a cigarette. Weird, right?

There is no reason you should feel bad at all. These things are very normal, and as long as you don’t cave to your craving for alcohol, you’re fine.
