I couldnt even think about the word curry with dd, not the smell or anything. But craved pineapple fritters ...she hates them.

With ds totally went off chinese food but could eat curry. Cravings were for coca-cola (out of a glass bottle only) and lots of fruit sweets like opal fruits, I could devour 5 packs in about 2 minutes

Im also curious!

With my ds i was craving sweets pretty bad! With this pregnancy however my only cravings are for chips and coke (but only out of a can lol)! Other than that i cant eat much without throwing up

With my son, who is almost 4, i had to have jam sandwiches with wotsits..

This time, it's fruit, ice lollies and chewing/sniffing bath sponges...much to the amusement of my OH!

no cravings really but lots of meat and i have 2 boys

Fimbo · 22/08/2006 14:37

My dd is 8 and I didn't have any cravings with her.

My ds will be 3 in December, I craved Heinz tomato soup with loads of black pepper and I had to have it in a mug rather than a bowl. I can't look it now without wanting to throw up.

DD1 - it was pink grapefruit - canned not fresh !! - even had to have pink grapefruit washing up liquid - Madness!!
DS - Egg sandwiches with Quavers in ??!!
DD2 - Fish and chips - not for the batter it just had to be cooked in batter and then I took it off and ate the fish inside - the chips were an incidental!!, Curries and Pizza - once aagain not for the pizza just for the melted mozzarella which HAD to be from a pizza !!

BrookeandTaylorsmummy · 22/08/2006 16:51

Munching on chunks of ice which had previously been in fizzy vimto with dd any food in enormously huge quantities with ds!
