[ZaneMumsnet]

To help celebrate the new Pregnancy Tracker app, sponsored by Persil Non Bio and Comfort Pure - we'd love to hear all about your pregnancy cravings.

The new app guides you through pregnancy week by week, sharing expert info and the experiences of thousands of other women who've been through the same things at each stage.

We all know that pregnancy can make people do some rather strange things - and 90% of pregnant women will experience antenatal cravings. Some can't get enough of one specific food, while others find themselves creating flavour combinations they'd never have dreamed of pre-pregnancy.

From inhaling everything sweet in two seconds flat, to middle of the night munching, or the sudden urge to taste things that aren't even food - what did you crave while waiting for your baby to arrive?

Share your wacky and wonderful pregnancy cravings with us - and help make other pregnant women currently experiencing them feel a little better about their latest hormone-induced feast.

Anyone who posts on this thread will be entered into a prize draw to win a £150 voucher for the store of your choice PLUS a month's supply of Persil Non Bio and Comfort Pure!

Thanks and good luck,

Didn't have any with ds2 but with ds1 it was ice cold full fat milk on cereal. Before I got pregnant I hated it, and as soon as he was born I went back to semi skimmed, but I simply had to have it while I was pregnant. With ds3 it was basically anything salty, which I think is quite common. Pretzels were a big favourite!

I never liked olives until I was pregnant with DD1. Then I was walking past one of those lovely olives stalls at a food fair, got a whiff and just had to have some. Now they are one of my favourite foods and DD1 loves them too.

ICE - loads and loads of ice. not just in drinks, sometimes just pint glasses of cruched ice. I used to go into my local subway as they had a lovely machine which dispensed ice of just the right texture...

[CheeseEMouse]

I really fancied savoury things - so gherkins, or once most of a jar of pickled onions in one go.

[gunting]

All I ate for 6 months were potatoes.

I used to buy a little tray of new potatoes and eat them while I was cooking dinner. Lunch was a jacket potato.

No wonder I ended up having a 10lb baby

Hot chips with lots of salt and vinegar dipped into a cold vanilla milkshake! I know it's so wrong but it's ohh so good!

[StillNoFuckingEyeDeer]

I don't eat meat, but I've been craving liver. I haven't eaten it since I was a child.
I've started eating all sorts of things I never usually care for - peanut butter, sweets, banana cake. Basically, I've just become a glutton since the morning sickness wore off.

[MakeTeaNotWar]

Sausages - but I'm vegetarian! I resisted phew!

[purplepandas]

Savoury stuff here too. Pizza 🍕.

[CMOTDibbler]

Cheese crackers and Heinz tomato soup. No other type of soup would do!

[CopperPan]

I loved sriracha sauce and put it on everything - chips, rice, salad!

[Elliecherry]

Loads of Crisps, I craved different flavours at different times :) with all of my pregnancys!

[chumbler]

Glasses and glasses of cold milk! Yum!

[voyager50]

I didn't have any really but my sister wanted loads of ice cream!

[ButterflyOfFreedom]

With DS it was crisps, especially cheesy ones like Quavers or Wotsits!

With DD I was craving more sweet things so lots of chocolate, biscuits and cake (yes I put on 3 stone! Enjoyed it though!!!)

[Ratbagcatbag]

Full fat milk turned into raspberry milkshake using crusha. Then either drinking it by the pint or pouring it on three weetabix!!! Oh and pickled onion monster munch. I loved loved loved those!! Dd was grown on those three things.

[clopper]

For a while the only things I could eat and keep down were jacket potatoes with cheese and those steamed puddings in a tin, I'm not even sure if they are made any more. I could only drink lime cordial.

[elvisthehamster]

With dd2 I craved limes in the first trimester -actual limes, diet coke with lime, tortilla chips with a twist of lime!

But in all 3 pregnancies I have had very strong cravings for eating ice cubes (nice and healthy and calorie free ;) )

It was the actual feeling of biting and crushing the ice that I wanted -I think it has an actual name -Pica? I can't describe how lovely a feeling it was!

[muddymary]

Cream - made losing the baby weight tricky afterwards though.

[cookiemonster66]

pickled onion monster munch and chocolate wispa bars - at least 6 of each packs per DAY!

[Kirstyh87]

Jam doughnuts, salt and vinegar crisps, strawberry Ribena and fizzy laces

[reenu26]

surprisingly..never had any! I wonder if it happens with others as well!

[loosechange]

Full fat coke. I wanted this for 20 plus weeks. My teeth, however, would have resented it and I had to be good.

And jelly sweets. Specifically the ones like ones grandmother used to eat, in a box.

Currently I am craving crisp sandwiches on white bread with butter. Or chip sandwiches made the same way. Proper fat chip shop chips.

And berries with yoghurt. I am getting through three bags of frozen fruit a week.

[Callico]

Cheese, peanut butter and onion sandwiches!

[foxessocks]

I am pregnant now and currently eating wine gums like they're going out of fashion. Just the red and green ones though. I have more aversions than cravings though. For instance I can't stomach peas, mushrooms or Ketchup right now. Yuck.
