AIBU?
To ask how many packets of crisps are too many?

I'm currently pregnant with my first, 14 weeks, and while the morning sickness is gone I will have food aversions. Today I decided I didn't want my sandwich so had a packet of wotsits... Which turned into three packets. 
Now after dinner I have just scoffed a packet of Johnny's onion ring crisps and using all my will power not to go steal DPs packet from the kitchen too.
I wasn't a crisp eater before pregnancy so just looking for jokey reassurance my baby isn't going to be born demanding crisps 
(and a shameless way to distract myself from the crisp selection in the kitchen now that I think I've read every thread on this site...)

Aw sign I would kill for salt and vinegar square crisps and they always stick to my tongue haha.
I guess this is going to be one of my pregnancy cravings. The other is banana milkshake, another thing I didn't drink much of before pregnancy if at all and now I'm washing it down daily. Could be worse I suppose! My mum craved ghost curry and whiskey with me lol

Salt and vinegar squares are the crisps of the gods.
So are
•onion rings
•bacon frazzles
•skips and
• wotsits!
I'm not a big crisp eater tbh but when I crave them I'm just like you and want them all
Usually around the time of my period so I wonder if it's to do with hormones and salt?

Buzz you are living up to your name ya big meanie! Haha
If it helps I usually eat my body weight in fruit and veg (with a healthy dose of chocolate of course) but for now crisps are like an absolute godsend!
Youarenotkidding we have basically the same crisp tastes haha. Maize crisps always win!

I ate far too many crisps when pregnant and do you know, my kids all eat too many crisps instead of craving healthy vegetables like broccoli 
It is clearly all my fault and if you eat healthily all through pregnancy your children will be born eating healthily too. Clearly

I could easily eat a sharing bag of cheese balls, onion rings or indeed many types of crisps, every day.
I don't, because I'd be the size of a house (not to mention they aren't very good for you), but I don't bother with individual bags for myself. One is never enough for me!

I have serious cravings for salt and vinegar crisps when pregnant and I ate/am currently eating a ton of them. If it makes you feel any better the craving didn't transfer to dc1 and at 14 months she has never eaten a crisp. I'll let you know if dc2 requires a salt and vinegar flavoured drip at birth!

I do not like crisps. During my 1st pregnancy they were one of the few foods I could eat and keep down.
I didn't give birth to a crisp monster and liking crisps didn't continue after the baby was born...however cheese was a keeper (having also not liked that prior to pregnancy)

I live the big bags of cheese balls. But I have to open the pack then eat the next night when they're a little bit stale.
And there's no such thing as too many crisps!! Though there was when I was pregnant, ate tons of onion rings crisps then thought I was dying of a heart attack (heartburn)
