What did you crave in pregnancy? Sweet or savoury?

Inspired by another thread, I craved sweet food with both of my pregnancies and both were girls - chocolate with the first and orange juice with the second.

Does savoury mean boy and sweet mean girl? What were your cravings?

DD1 - magnum ice creams
DD2 - micro chips, ritz crackers

It was mainly smells that I craved, like cleaning stuff to be honest!

My pregnancies and bumps were completely different as well, but still ended up with 2 DDs.

Opal fruits and the occasional fizzy drink. I was never one for things like lemonade and coke but when pregnant, I bought a can to have at work every day. I also started eating roast beef which I'd previously hated, sprouts and carrots (I still like them, that hasn't left me).

Went right off cheese, chocolate and coffee.

For me it’s been milkshake and roast chicken so far - really struggling with the last one, I’m vegetarian, haven’t given in but I have never wanted something as much as I want roast chicken right now, and the craving has been there for over a month, it doesn’t stop, honestly all I can think about. At least with the milkshake I can just have milkshake

Hard boiled eggs, nuts and purple Listerine mouthwash. Obviously I didn't drink the mouth wash! I had a boy.

Gumbo · 20/11/2018 14:47

Cherry tomotoes - I ate 1-2 punnets a day. And spinach. Boy.

SockQueen · 20/11/2018 15:57

I didn't really have cravings first time, but went right off sweet things (and I normally have quite a sweet tooth) so ended up eating more savoury. That was/is a boy.

Currently 11 weeks with DC2 and much the same has happened, though my sickness is less bad and my taste for sweet things is coming back.

IronyFreeAnnie · 20/11/2018 17:48

I wish I craved anything sweet or savoury. For me it’s rubber bands to chew on!

JohnCRaven · 20/11/2018 17:54

Nope.

I craved plain/dark chocolate and pastries with DD1. Bacon sarnies and cheese with DD2. 2 totally different girls but both girls!

TowerRingInferno · 20/11/2018 17:57

STrawberry jam - boys

BeepBop · 20/11/2018 18:00

First pregnancy i had sweet cravings..mainly doughnuts Blush Had a girl.

Second pregnancy no food cravings at all but I could not get enough of smells! The main 2 being new car smell and new trainer smell. I actually bought 2 new pairs of converse, they stayed in the box for the entire pregnancy. Instead of wearing them, I just wanted to inhale them! Had a boy.

ErrolTheDragon · 20/11/2018 18:06

Salt and vinegar crisps - girl. And ginger nuts early on but that was because they warded off morning sickness, not exactly a craving.

StandardPoodle · 20/11/2018 19:55

No cravings whatsoever in either pregnancy - both boys.

Mominatrix · 20/11/2018 20:05

1st pregnancy - Watermelon. Boy
2nd pregnancy - nothing. Boy

MiniMaxi · 20/11/2018 20:06

Cheese and marmite on toast - boy

Diddlysquats · 20/11/2018 20:08

Cornflakes, pasta with pesto and sausages! It was a girl.

BitchQueen90 · 20/11/2018 20:24

I didn't have any food cravings but I craved the smell of bleach. It was bizarre! I had a boy.

Juanbablo · 20/11/2018 20:39

With the first I didn't crave anything, he's a boy. Second it was Cadbury's Double Decker bars, a girl. Third it was grapefruit, a boy.

MotherOfTheNoise · 20/11/2018 20:44

First pregnancy- cucumbers (like a whole cucumber at a time), wotsits and orange calypso's. Girl.
Second pregnancy- tomatoes, tuna sandwiches and smelling beer bottles. Boy.
Third pregnancy- chocolate milkshakes by the litre, pickled onions and gherkins, and prawn sandwiches. Girl.

KitKaty · 20/11/2018 21:01

I was the same with apple juice! A litre and a half a day, and apples did not do the trick at all!
