"I NEEDED a Magnum at 2am so I made my husband drive to the petrol station and get me one"

This kind of statement pisses me off hugely! Man up husband! I must admit, the first time I fell pregnant I was looking forward to these 'uncontrollable cravings' and sending my DH out at stupid o' clock to get me pickles, but it's just a myth isn't it?

I got the occasional hankering for something, but nothing that couldn't wait.

Do some women just feel they need to perpetuate the myth?? Are some men really that gullible?

I was realy partial to Starbucks Latte (never had them before being pg) Would never have got up in the middle of the night for one though!

dh works in tesco so i always get a juicy red pepper every evening,but i know the almost crying for one feeling.
see theres having a fancy for something but craving is every ounce of you screaming for it.every pregnancy ive craved peppers so i think i need extra fibre or vit c.
