I had no cravings Shock

I was getting excited in early pregnancy thinking i would make good use of having cravings lol Wink but they just didn't come!

I did go off a few things for a while - tea especially! I used to drink about three cups a day and then just stopped. I only started drinking it after baby was about 4 months old.

Are you specifically asking for cravings in teen mothers?

Or for women of any age who knew they were having a girl?

I'd be in the second category with my 4th PG, and it was all for sweet things.

With DS it was apples I could eat 6-8 a day

I'm pregnant with a DD this time, and it's ice cream with olives

Same cravings with both.

Cravings are nothing to do with the sex of the baby. They're more influenced by your health during pregnancy if anything. Often there's no pattern at all.

Just found out I'm pregnant with #2. With #1 there were none which I was quite disappointed about! I wanted to crave something weird and wonderful. I ate a bit more melon now I look back but not sure I craved it.

Didn't think I had any cravings really but I could happily eat bacon for every meal. And soft boiled eggs. So basically a fry up! I'm limiting myself to 1 packet of bacon a week! And I only eat eggs if I've cooked them!

Virgin Mary's, mini magnums, polenta chips and the strongest craving ever for chippy chips and cheese at 2.30pm (the chip shop didn't open until 4pm. I called ahead to order at 3.55 as was so DESPERATE and my workmates still laugh at me). They were the most delicious chips I've ever tasted.
No food will ever taste as good as
Satiating a pregnancy craving!

Ice! My last 5 pregnancies I was addicted. I'd lay in bed eating it. The crunch was divine! My last one was Ice and polo's. I never knew polo's gave a laxative effect till my sister told me, I'd told her I had terrible diarrhea for weeks 😂

having a girl here. nothing really specifically, have developed an incredibly sweet tooth for choc and sweets which I could take or leave before pg. I went completely off chicken for a while but now just about back on it again. Eat a LOT of cheese flavoured stuff, mini cheddars, quavers, cheddar cheese etc x

Irn-Bru...but only allowed one can per day as high in caffeine. But it is the highlight of my day. Oh, and anything citrusy (grapefruit, oranges).

Another one for salt and vinegar crisps (heaven) and fizzy sweets. Oh and also San Pellegrino Limonata, a really sour fizzy lemonade which absolutely hits the spot at the moment!

Golden Wonder Pickled Onion crisps. They are 20p a packet in Home Bargains and I've had to restrain myself from buying them by the box. Also Dairylea Dunkers. I'm off so many foods but weirdly fancying things I would never usually eat.
