And what delightful craving do I have during this pregnancy?

LAGER!!!

How typical! It just smells soooo goood..... How unfair!

Does anyone else want to moan about share their cravings with me? Perhaps my irrational mind will focus on one of your (more suitable) cravings!

I'm not sure it's sensible, but I have an insatiable craving for ice and ice lollies!

Gingersnap88 · 19/08/2011 11:14

Potatoes and milk- I am going to be HUGE :(

MsChanandlerBong · 19/08/2011 12:53

Chocolate... bars of it, chocolate biscuits, chocolate popcorn, chocolate cake, chocolate spread...

Actually, not sure if it is legitimate cravings or if I have just given up all pretence of trying to keep my weight down now that I am the size of a small elephant!!

Tescos rocket lollies
Sherbet fountains
I start salivating when I see snow or ice on the tv.
This morning I really fancied one of those leathery dog chews - managed to resist that one though!!

AKP79 · 19/08/2011 13:58

I'm with you Cattleprod on the snow and ice!

bigmacandhappymeal · 19/08/2011 16:20

Becks Blue is non-alcholic and ok-ish....

bigmacandhappymeal · 19/08/2011 16:20

*non-alcoholic. Obviously I've had one too many

danio7 · 19/08/2011 17:08

ice and ice lollies in abundence..

BUT I was cleaning yesterday and got the White Spirit out- it was sensational! I am actually salivating whilst typing this, I would never drink it (obviously) I just cant get ENOUGH of the smell!!!!!

39+1 :)

Changing2011 · 19/08/2011 17:15

Steak pie, sausage roll, pasties, mc Donaldson and yesterday, a cigarette! I havent smoked for years! Managed to resist that craving... Rice crisps are one craving that has returned from being pregnant with dd, with ice cold milk mmmmmmmm

Conchita · 19/08/2011 21:42

JAFFA CAKES

notlettingthefearshow · 19/08/2011 21:43

Fizzy drinks

Junk food

Sorry baby!

But also ... grapefruit

KateBC · 20/08/2011 00:01

I have the lager craving too, have drunk a lot of Becks Blue, and there is a nicer one beginning with H but can't for the life of me remember the name

Also craving porridge, can't get enough of it. Better than ice cream which is all I wanted last time

nosexpleaseimpregnant · 20/08/2011 08:53

What about Caliber? That's non-alkie and it's the closest thing I've tasted to real lager ever!!
My cravings have been pretty normal......ham and mustard on toast, oxtail soup with cheese sandwiches dipped in (the cheese has to be grated though, none of this sliced rubbish!!) and olives

LoveBeingAtHomeOnMyOwn · 20/08/2011 08:58

Chocolate and ice lollies

JenniferHolland · 20/08/2011 16:18

FRUITS!!! all day long!

Conchita · 20/08/2011 16:25

For any non-alcoholic lager fans, Bitburger Drive is so good I had to check the label to make sure there was no alcohol in it.

VFVF · 21/08/2011 08:51

I'll have to go and investigate these lagers! It's getting bad, I keep encouraging DH to have a bottle every night just so I can sniff it poor guy doesn't usually drink much!

Gingersnap88 · 21/08/2011 09:12

I woke up at 5 am and could not get back to sleep for over an hour because all I could think about was grapefruit! I was worrying that none of the shops will be open until 11am on a Sunday. Argh! I thought that this kind of thing only happened in films?

mummy2agirl2b · 21/08/2011 09:59

LoveInAColdClimate · 21/08/2011 22:26

Oh god, this morning was having sex with DH (sorry for TMI but necessary in context) and had to stop for a break halfway through because I was so desperate for a glass of milk . I did not share the real reason for the pause...

dribbleface · 22/08/2011 13:38

Ice cubes by the tray full (am having a minor strop at the moment as all gone and freezer not quick enough), cucumber with salt sprinkled on . 34 weeks and counting!
