To ask what your weird pregnancy cravings were?

[elm26]

I've never been a fan of cucumber but I can't stop thinking about slices of cucumber with salt and lemon juice on.

I also keep biting cold lemons from the fridge, just bite into it and I'm satisfied 😂

And apple juice, I'm drinking a litre of apple juice a day and costing my DH £3 a time as I don't want the cheap one 🤦🏻‍♀️

Tuna sandwiches with raspberry yoghurt poured in them

I wanted salt and vinegar crisps and ALL the fizzy sweets.

Raw cauliflower with dill dip.

McDonald’s was the only thing I craved.

I rarely ate McDonald’s before, haven’t eaten it much since. Couldn’t get enough when pregnant though.

Fruit juice, for about three weeks, I couldn’t get enough. Rarely drank it before or since. I didn’t believe in cravings before that but I was sometimes drinking it before I’d even got it through the checkout!

Currently craving McNuggets dipped in hummus :/

Salmon (Pan or baked)

Marks and Spencers onion bhajees. And later, Orange Maid ice lollies. Had to be Orange Maid. And lightly salted

Weirdest one was licking Johnson’s baby soap 🤣🫣

Those pickled jalapeno peppers that you get in a take away kebab.... H used to have to go to the take away every night to buy a tray full. The bloke at the take away thought he was bonkers

Not weird but unusual for me I love fruit atm I have loads of fruit cocktail cans in the cupboard so delicious 😂 I rarely eat fruit normally!

Lemon cordial. Not had it since but I was drinking pints and pints. I had DS in the December so the last few weeks the tap water was icy cold.

You know the black foam you get in packaging or sometimes with clothes so hangers don't leave marks?

I desperately needed to smell that.

I couldn't find any so I made do with a new sponge. I packed one in my hospital bag.

930pm cocopops (first trimester)

Cheese and pickle sandwiches (second)

Spinach

With first DS it was celery with cream cheese. With DS2 it was salty chicken noodle soup. I bought a pack of 8 kosher soup sachets and ate 6 of them in one sitting.

Last pregnancy I couldn't get enough of the smell of the washing powder they used at work, I used to stand in the laundry room whenever I could just to have a sniff 😅
This time it's chewing sponges but it has to be soaked in freezing cold water first, also ice cubes which my dentist isn't going to thank me for.

Can of coke and chocolate

I didn’t think it was that weird but my DH looked at me like I had two heads when I trotted over to the sofa with my glass of milk with ice in it. I just wanted it extra cold!

Lentils with cheese and spinach
Croissants
Fruit

Vicks vapour rub. I limited myself to eating no more than about half a teaspoon a day. It was both pregnancies too!

First child - smell of a jar of pickle onions but not eat.
Second child - smell of tinned hot dogs but not eat.
Third child (miscarried at 17 weeks) - lick a brick.

Also rocket leaves with salt.

I had pica so wanted bath sponges!

Lucozade and salt and vinegar crisps.

Not that weird but M&S cheese sandwiches, any variety. I could have eaten them all day but couldn’t have looked at a homemade one.

And cold limeade, about three cans a night.
