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 🤦🏻‍♀️

Chewing sponges, chewing flannels, crunching ice, the smell of lemon elbow grease cleaner. I think it's due to low iron.

Strawberry milkshake from McDonalds.

Tinned hotdogs

Ice. It was like a madness, I needed to crunch it.

Prawn cocktail crisps 😆

I was so disappointed not to have cravings with either pregnancy but as I never had any morning sickness or other icky stuff I called it a wash! I did say that after No 1 I would make up some expensive cravings if we had No 2 but then I forgot.

Ice and washing powder ( not together!) I used to fill the sink with hot water and add washing powder just to smell it, touch it, I used to sit and just watch the soap bubbles in the washing machine going round 😂

Mine was in weird in that I didn't crave one thing. I would get the sudden urge for something and then I couldn't rest until I'd ate/drank that thing. One was tropical fruit juice I'm not that keen but god I needed it that day. Five shops I had to visit before I found some. I cried while I paid for it and drank almost a litre on the way home.
I was so bloody embarrassing

Chicken tikka baguette!! Could easily eat one or two a day! 🙈

Crunching ice, all day every day

Disappointingly my only craving during my 1st pregnancy was that I swapped from pepsi max to diet coke

First baby: yoghurt
Second baby: spaghetti with tinned tomatoes for sauce

Sand and drywall. Also had pica!

Smelling bath sponges straight out the packet. I bought 12 a week

Cheese and snack a jacks!!

Freshly washed bunches (yes, I’d eat a whole bunch at a time!) of parsley. Had to have the water still on them!

Sand at the moment trying my best not to eat it. Instead I just play with it, dh went and bought me some. I think it's the dry gritty texture that is just drawing me to it.

I'm like that now, only I put the milk in a glass and put it in the freezer until it's ice and eat it.
Apparently it's a sign of anaemia so if you're craving the actual ice you might want that checked.

The smell of creosote

First pregnancy raw carrots and full fat coke. Second pregnancy ALL the cake.

Milk, pints and pints of blue or Grahams gold top milk, towards the end I was demolishing 4 pint cartons and quite ready to start on another, didn't care if it was cold or warm, then realised maybe milkshakes would work and drank two pints (I think-those square cartons?) whilst waiting to pay for it, moved on to magnums at some point with the milk, I was a walking Dairy Queen.

Chilli con carne, Volvic touch of fruit strawberry- had to be the full sugar one, M&S truffle crisps, Five Guys fries, ice cubes, sliced tomatoes with loads of salt on and wotsits! Oh and cups of plain hot water.

I also wanted lemons and oranges/orange juice. Maybe needed vitamin C

DS1- olives and vanilla ice cream together. Coleslaw, toffee apples, southern fried chicken burger and salad sandwiches for breakfast. KFC.

DS2- Macdonald’s cheeseburgers and their sweet and sour sauce. I used to keep the sauce in my car and dip apple into it on my way home from work.

Peanut butter and cucumber sandwiches😆
