Cocopops!! And those Krave things. Honestly the worst most sugary crap but dang it tastes so good!

I could eat 100 bowls and I'm only 11+3. God help me!

I'm having a girl and this time I can't stop eating Rice Krispies. I haven't eaten them for years - haven't eaten cereal for years full stop.

Haven't eaten them since.

Weetabix chocolate chip minis and the bad choco crisp cereal for Aldi!

I'm having a boy...I'm 40+6 and all my cereal has run out. Now I might have to go out and get some!!

Milk with my boy - I drank pints a day. Cereal was just a way to justify having some more milk!

I ate a lot of crunchy nut cornflakes whilst pregnant with my son.

He eats an awful lot of cereal now as a teenager so he was obviously egging me on from in there.

Cornflakes (has to be Kellogg's!) and ice cold milk. It's pretty much the only craving I have. Sometimes with a teaspoon of sugar on top but mostly just as they are. 38+5 with a girl.

Mine was crunchy nut cornflakes and i had a girl (10 years ago mind you)

I wonder if dairy is just a fairly common craving and we are getting our cravings satisfied by the ilk on cereal? Just wondering because I am eating tonnes of yoghurt too. Loads of it. Like a massive pot per day.

Dairy and sugar are pretty common cravings during pregnancy. That doesn't have any connection to what sex your baby is. I know I know just a bit of fun

How odd! I'm just about to go out for a box of Rice Krispies, I'm desperate for them. I'm having a girl Smile

I'm not sure cereal cravings indicate a particular sex :) They're just a nice bland carb.
Weetabix first time and I had a girl. Cornflakes this time and I'll find out the sex in December.

I like mine dry straight from the box! 🙈🙈

I know there's no correlation between the cereal and gender! Just a bit of fun! Alot of people said because I'm craving the sweetness of crunchy nut cornflakes (just devoured my second box since Saturday! 🙊) that I'm having a girl.

This time round I've gone right off cereal. Would usually just have porridge or Weetabix, but don't fancy sweeter cereals either. 20wk scan not for another 4 weeks to find out.

With all my pregnancies (all girls) I've craved cereals. Crunchy nut cornflakes and honey cheerios are the ones I can't keep my hands off! At one point with dd1 I was eating a box of cheerios a day!

Couldn't stop eating cornflakes when I was pregnant, don't normally touch cereal. Was convinced I was having a boy but turned out to albr a girl! I think the ice cold milk was definitely part of the craving too though

Fruit and fibre for me, but I agree I think it's the milk thing, wouldn't drink a glass on its own but with cereal it is irresistible! Having a girl...

I've gone right off dairy! All I crave is sweet carbs like cakes, croissants, rhubarb crumble and cinnamon buns!
