Research: what food do you miss most when pregnant?

[Saggyoldclothcatpuss]

Here's the question. If I were going to give you a food hamper as a gift when you give birth, which foods did you miss most and what should I put in it?

I stopped eating soft cheese for 1st pregnancy, then for 2nd I figured that no women in France probably did so I started eating it again!

Other more sensible women may appreciate some Brie?

Yes, soft cheese, definitely. Maybe not the most practical for a food hamper though? I can't think what else I didn't eat!

Was thinking Brie Stilton champagne pate anything else?

Also crackers and a nice chutney...

Food, full stop. I vomited the whole pregnancy!
My sister gave me some yummy biscuits for middle of the night feeds, they were one of the loveliest things.

Sushi and sashimi for me. I couldn't bear even the thought of cooked fish when pregnant, especially the oily stuff like mackerel and sardines, but I longed for some raw fish with wasabi paste and pickled ginger!

One of my friends brought me an enormous take-away while I was in hospital after having DS1 and it was the best thing I'd eaten (apart from the two slices of Mother's Pride toast with strawberry jam a few hours after my CS )

Chocolate. Lots of it.

Pate and camembert.

Pate for certain, sushi, brie, smelly blue and goats cheeses! Oh and dont forget the champers!

Most other things I wanted I ate in moderation (I was delighted to find I could have a "Chucky" Egg & soldiers as long as it was red lion stamped)

DH is under strict orders to bring me a picnic of all the above if for any reason I am kept in hospital...Good luck

I missed medium-rare steak, only ate it well-done in pregnancy. Next time I will eat it how I like it and just be better informed about where it came from.

Champagne would have been a torment for me as I didn't drink alcohol while I breastfed - especially not when they were brand new. I'd have probably opened it to share it but not had any myself

I missed soft boiled eggs, parma ham, brie and medium-rare steak.

I'd have loved chocolate and biscuits to munch during the night feeds.

Cool. So basically what I thought, with emphasis on the soft cheeses and chocolate. Not sure I could send steak or sushi mail order!

Wine!

Gorgonzola! And booze!

I didn't miss anything because I didn't stop eating anything!

Peanut butter! My mw advised me to steer clear as dh has a lot of allergies and once she'd told me I couldn't have it I craved it! Also soft boiled eggs

So far, sod the food, missing wine!

My darling SIL presented me with a box of oatcakes and a slab of pate when i got home after having DS. I thrust him into her arms and scoffed the lot

When I had DD recently SIL couldn't come to visit so I made DP stop at the Co-op on the way home from hospital and sent him in with strict instructions to bring me pate and red wine. Yum! :)

Pate and cocktails are the big ones. Oh, and I've been steering clear of prawns recently, just to be safe. But other than that, I haven't minded the deprivation too much!

No food, just my "helps me make the dinner glass of wine"!

Nice bottle of wine (and yes steak, but appreciate can't be sent in hamper ...)

Wine is a given. And lager. And gin.

Didn't miss any food. Just vodka

Peanut butter,it's my standard breakfst fare. MW advised against due to allergies in DH's family. Tried all sorts of other nut butters, nothing compares to Peanut though.

Wine, a nice cold beer and pate I really really miss pate at least I can eat other cheese.
