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.

With my daughter it was strawberries and passionfruit, this time it is pink lady apples. Could be worse!

Milk, cold cold flavoured milk. Vanilla milkshakes by the litre and at least a litre bottle of freezing cold/semi frozen sainsburys cheap strawberry milk brink a day.

I had shitty heartburn, gaviscon made me throw up - this worked.

Shannith · 05/04/2022 17:53

Oh I see lots of fellow freezing milk guzzlers in here. I was a woman on a mission and once cried in Victoria station on my way home from work when none was to be found despite 2 McDonald's and a Burger King.

CosilyRosily · 05/04/2022 17:59

Fruit pastille ice lollies
Apple juice
Strawberries with vanilla ice cream
McDonald's fries (was during lockdown #1 so couldn't get hold of them at all)

Roast Beef dinner.
I was vegetarian Envy not envy.

Daffodilsdance · 05/04/2022 18:06

Milk , cold milk and hot milk . In the cafe in Waitrose which I stopped in on the way home from work they didn’t do hot milk so made me a latte without the coffee shot ( back then there was a free hot drink every day if you had a Waitrose card .) Also banana or strawberry milkshake , but mainly milk !
My ds had always hated milk so he must have got fed up of it before he was even born !

KitKattaktik · 05/04/2022 18:11

Grapefruit juice, Watercress and hot dog sausages. Not together!!

Eukanuba · 05/04/2022 18:13

Coffee , asparagus soup and ready salted crisps .

mangowithasqueezeoflime · 05/04/2022 18:14

I ate lots of burgers or fish and chips... but it was because I craved ketchup and needed a vessel for it!

niceladyatthedrs · 05/04/2022 19:15

With DS1 it was five alive juice & ice. With DS2 it was ovaltine.

theDudesmummy · 05/04/2022 19:17

Waitress chocolate custard

Cotswoldmama · 05/04/2022 20:15

With my first son Alli could stomach for the first 12 weeks were prawn cocktail or ketchup flavoured crisps and coca cola. And I had an aversion to all vegetables the whole pregnancy with my second I had non at all

SparklePopRampage · 05/04/2022 20:21

Curries! I could have eaten them every night for tea with my DS. Crumpets made me feel sick even looking at them or catching a whiff from the toaster!

The3rdWatermelon · 05/04/2022 20:21

I’m currently pregnant and would kill for mashed potatoes. I could eat them by the bucketful

Glorieta · 05/04/2022 20:34

First trimester I craved cheap salty hotdogs then moved on to hot mayonnaise, leerdammer cheese just folded over on its own and my fave vanilla infused custard.
I normally don't liked dairy products
Went off Chinese food and couldn't stomach pineapple

petalpower · 05/04/2022 20:51

Liquorice all sorts and fizzy lemon flavoured water with DS. Don’t think there was anything with DD.

Sarahlou252 · 05/04/2022 22:02

Carnation milk straight from the can, I used to use a tin opener to make two small holes in the lid and then just drink it every time I went to the fridge!!

CatFacePoodle · 05/04/2022 22:06

Mars milkshakes and crumpets.
