Cravings vary among different women, so no it’s not abnormal just try not to drink any!! Good luck!!

I craved wine when I was pregnant! I wanted it so badly, but didn’t have it. Maybe you could have some non-alcoholic beer. You always want what you can’t have- it’s human nature!

you can crave anything whilst pregnant- even alcohol. Just try and not give in to it, lol, though a small sip here and there should be just fine- just so long as u arent drinking much and arent drinking often.
good luck with the rest of your pregnancy

Drinking a beer now and then never hurt when you’re pregnant. My mother had six children and drank two beers every night.

a small amount will do no harm i had some of my husbands beer in a fruit juice glass or mixer glass this is a 250ml glass. you might be needing something that the beer is made up from so try marmite or yeast extract as well. hope this helps

I crave alcohol (beer and Jack Daniels) and Red Bull. I work with a girl who drinks Red Bull everyday and I look forward to it. I don't drink it, but she lets me smell it, lol. Kind of strange, but it kicks the craving. Whenever my husband drinks a beer, usually a Heineken, I always grab a smell of that too. I usually hate the smell of it, but now I do.
I probably sound really strange! Every pregnant woman has her own individual cravings. My friend eats pickle and banana sandwiches (gross!)… to each their own. So yeah, next time he has one, try to smell it and see if it works. Don't drink it, though. But yeah, it's totally normal to crave things we can't have.
I'm sure that a small sip never hurt, but who knows where that small sip would lead you. I have no will power, so I just don't drink any at all!

Some women crave the weirdest stuff when they are pregnant. There is also an eating disorder called Pica, common in small children and pregnant women where they crave stuff like, clay, soil, and even laundry detergent! Just don’t cave in. You don’t want to hurt the baby when it is in its early stages of development But I’ve heard that when you’re really far along, one beer or glass of wine isn’t bad but that is something you should ask your OB-GYN about.

I craved beer so bad at some point in my 2nd trimester and I know other women have the same craving. Now I’m craving it again after reading this! I wouldn’t drink it, though; instead, try having a non-alcoholic (well, 0.5%, as low as low can possibly be) cooler or a non-alcoholic beer. Some taste just as good as the real thing…SOME. ;o)

beer has a ton of carbs in it. thats probably what you’re craving. eat some toast.

Try Busch N/A, its the busch non-alcoholic beer, its better than o’doules. I think it tastes closer to the real thing.

I had the strongest craving for strawberry daquries when i was pregnant with my first. I complained about it every day to my dh so 2 days after I gave birth he got his mom to sit with the baby and dragged me out to have one and when I got to the bar I didn’t even want one anymore.
