Which foods did you crave when pregnant?

With both my boys it was capers and wine gums (not eaten a caper before or since!). With Dd it was orange juice, by the gallon.
Oddly, my sister also craved orange juice with my niece.

Orange squash (which I hate normally) preferably made with lemonade. Terry's chocolate oranges. Citrus craving is quite a common one and I had it with both mine one boy and one girl.

With ds it was full fat coke and the smell of original fairy washing liquid!

Comedycook · 05/04/2022 11:40

Ds... McDonald's and anything with chips

DD....loads of buttered seaded bread and huge amounts of fruit. I'd just eat plates and plates of fruit for dinner. Ironically she hates fruit!

My god orange juice is on my must avoid list, it gives me absolutely terrible acid reflux when pregnant!

I am all about savoury meaty sandwiches and really lemony lemonade

Tea by the gallon, battered chip shop sausages, and the spiciest food I could find.

None of that did any favours for my horrific heartburn and I used to wake up throwing up from the acid in my throat Confused

Pregnancy is so fun!

I absolutely craved Dandelion and Burdock, and Vimeo squash. Neither of which I think I've had since DS was born!

First time round it was watermelon, which we couldnt get as it was winter, so lots and lots of apples, and Dr pepper. Second time round, terrible morning sickness throughout so lived on Jacobs cream crackers, all the other crackers smelled vile. Also massive crying for chalk (snacking on rennies tablets when nobody looking)

Those pickled onion flavoured Space Invader crisps. I bought an entire box from my local corner shop.

Monkeybutt1 · 05/04/2022 12:04

Cereal, especially Rice Krispies.

DD1 & 2 Walkers ready salted Squares, Quavers.
DD3 Fruit, lots of fruit

Flatandhappy · 05/04/2022 12:17

Extra hot lime pickle with my three, on everything 😁

StellaOlivetti · 05/04/2022 12:22

Ice, both times. And the smell of new carpets, I used to go into Carpet Right and walk about inhaling deeply.

floofycroissant · 05/04/2022 12:22

Citrus fruits, fruity lollies and sushi/lots of soy sauce. Vanilla thickshakes too, I normally hate milk.

SockFluffInTheBath · 05/04/2022 12:23

Mars bars and doughnuts.

Vampirethriller · 05/04/2022 12:23

Watermelon, apples and ham sandwiches.

edwinbear · 05/04/2022 12:24

Rocket and parmesan salad with lots of balsamic vinegar for both DC. In fact I first suspected I was pregnant with DC2 when I started not being able to eat enough of the stuff.

speakout · 05/04/2022 12:25

Nothing with my first, second I craved all fruits, especially limes, I loved the fragrance too, fresh limes on salad, lime flavoured sweets, I used lime wash up liquid, lime shower gel lime soap. Had to get my daily fix.

pizzatooth · 05/04/2022 12:25

Chilli and spice. I would much my way through jalapeños like they were crisps.

Lady0racle · 05/04/2022 12:26

Fish fingers with my first.

Toast and anything with carbs with my second.

BookHermitBlack · 05/04/2022 12:27

Green olives and ready salted crisps with Dc1, then potatoes with Dc2&3.

dgall12 · 05/04/2022 12:28

Milkshake. I drank so much milkshake. And my daughter has CMPA...

MsFogi · 05/04/2022 12:29

McDonalds - I often worry about how many McD meals dd2 consumed in the womb!!

teaandtoastwithmarmite · 05/04/2022 12:30

Orange juice which I'm not normally bothered about. Japanese bento boxes.

teaandtoastwithmarmite · 05/04/2022 12:31

And dd loves orange juice as does DH

BlancmanegeBunny · 05/04/2022 12:33

I had HG and didn't really crave anything ........... but on my better days I really wanted ice-cold peach squash or fresh pineapple.
