What did you crave during pregnancy???

[wurlywurly]

With ds1 I wanted turkey and maramlade sandwiches. With ds2 I wanted apple juice and snack sized mars bars. Went off all junk food and carved roast potatoes and gravy.

Anyone else?

[frumpygrumpy]

sex (I thought that was great but I don't think DP found me so desirable in my whale like state ), mashed potato with salt and banana milkshakes

[BigHotMama]

Full fat milk
Big bowls of frosties
Ice Lolls

Lol at turkey and marmalade sarnies

[WineglassSkittles]

Liquorice Allsorts.

[skay]

Ketchup with everything. Ice on it's own.

[lulumama]

peas in the pod with DS

strawberry hubba bubba with DD - i had a filling at 37 weeks !

[SoMuchToBits]

Raw broccoli (used to eat it at the bus stop on my way home from work!). Also loved the smell of petrol and some plastics. Strange, I know...

[saltire]

With DS1 it was Barrs red Kola. The Co-Op at Lossiemouth started stocking big 2 litre bottles especially for me

with DS2 it was cheese.

[brightwell]

With dd it was grapefruit, used to eat 3 a day like oranges, and cheesey wotsits, the smell of them now makes me heave, they smell like vomit. With ds it was breadsticks dipped in english mustard and hot & spicey pickled onions.

[Budababe]

Iced water

strawberries and cherries - thank god it was summer!

Oh and weetabix as soon as I woke up but that was only in the early stages. I would eat 3 at a time!

[MegaLegs]

Cherries and lychees.
Baked potatoes were all I could eat for the first few months with all four of mine till the MS passed.

[ItsNotOnlyTheGoodBits]

I craved chips, and like MegaLegs that passed until the morning sickness passed. Maybe baked potatoes would have been healthier, but I didn't think of that. Well actually chips were ALL I could keep down.

After month 4 I could eat anything...and I did!

[JARM]

DD1 - potatoes of any variety - couldnt get enough, went off bacon and gammon in a BIG way

DD2 - cant really remember craving anything particular, but couldnt eat coleslaw at all

This time - currently craving doner kebabs (havent given in yet) and am off most hot dinners regardless

[MissTea4Me]

Couldn't get enough of greek salad. Thought it was a pretty odd craving and then went to dinner at a mate's, also pregnant; she plonked a huge bowl of it on the table and said, "Hope you don't mind Greek salad; I've just been eating it constantly since I've been pregnant."

[peggy0062]

With DS1 it was beef.

This time round 20 weeks already and still no appetite, although I started to drink milk which I normally don't like.

[suzycreamcheese]

...used to sneak smells of shoe dubbing and polish...just a quick sniff before we go..
extra strong mints ...by the barrel full...

just reminded me its dinner time!

[marmitemad]

marmite the whole way through (I used to eat a small pot every morning with a teaspoon!!

and tomatoes but not as much as marmite

[Rantmum]

In first trimester - white bread and cheese - only thing that made the nausea stop (for a moment or two).

Second trimester - frosted icing. HOW unhealthy is that?

Third trimester - spag bol and clementines, dh got a wee bit sick of our monotonous diet .

[jellyjelly]

I craved m stretch mark cream which smelt like turkish delight.
POickled onion monster munch and chocolate orange in the same mouthfull

Wimpy quarter pounders with lots of orange sauce.

I hated ham and beer and i had to move the coffee jar into another cupboard and the sugar in the other. I would heave if i drove or smelt coffee or beer.

[tegan]

dd1 was rice krispies straight from the box ( i was getting through 4 of the big boxes a day)

dd2 was milky ways, luckily they were on special offer at the time. dh worked out that I actually spent around £600 on them when pg with dd2

[talcyoyo]

Marmite for first 3 months

yorkshire pudding and mint sauce

fruit pie and icecream in large quantities


would only drink through a straw

[runnyhabbit]

ds1 - Weetabix. Would be nothing for me to have 8 in one go. Can't stand the sight of them now

ds2 - apple juice and the sandwich lady at work did lovely prawn baguettes (she always kept them for me!)

[unknownrebelbang]

Bread pudding.

[bristols]

Greek yogurt with honey.

And cadbury's fruit and nut. But I think that I used the term 'craving' as an excuse to eat as much as I wanted.

[JoanCrawford]

humous sandwiches

[clayre]

dd - peppered mackarel
ds - kiwi fruit
