The only real craving I had was milk. I was having twin girls. I guess I needed the extra calcium. Also had pretend cravings, most notably jelly babies.

dd - sweet things. Odd as I generally prefer savoury things. Sweet and sour prawn balls was a biggy and the stodgy puddings in the work canteen. I has to FORCE myself to eat vegetables which i normally love.

DD - I craved whole milk, kiwi fruit and pineapple. On the opposite end of the scale, I totally went off olives for the duration of the pregnancy - couldn't even walk past an olive counter without feeling ill (usually love them!)

DS1- mcdonalds (fillet o fish), roast chicken and chick peas
DS2- Chickpeas and tomatoes

I wonder if that is why ds1 has always been so much chunkier than ds2
