With ds1 I wanted turkey and maramlade sandwiches. With ds2 I wanted apple juice and snack sized mars bars. Went off all junk food and carved roast potatoes and gravy.

Anyone else?

aqua libra (health drink herbal stuff) was the only thing that made me stop throwing up, i had a special order with the local supermarket as i drank two litre bottles of it every day

with ds cornish pasties with branston pickle
with dd fish and chips

could not eat any form of salad (which i normally love)

also loved the smell of tarmac

very odd

jenk1 · 22/05/2007 19:02

with DS it was chocolate milkshake.
with DD it was strawberry milkshake and KEBABS

alipiggie · 22/05/2007 19:02

ds1 - Fresh Cream Chocolate Eclairs
ds2 - Vanilla Ice cream

The weirdest thing - I don't have a sweet tooth at all normally.

With all three pgs it has been ice cubes. But this time its on a whole new level and i easily crunch through 100+ a day and chocolate spread on toast tis yummy but i'm only 28 weeks and barely able to eat anything else.

This time its alpen, greek yoghurt and honey (spooky, bristols) Anything milky really...

I thought there was nothing wrong, when dp asked what I wanted to drink, with ""Can I have tea with milk and one sugar, but can you not put the teabag in please" He creased up laughing and it took me a while to see there was something unusual with that request

QuiltHugger · 22/05/2007 19:11

ice
pickled onions

PeppermintStick · 22/05/2007 19:38

Chopped up oranges smothered in strawberry yoghurt.

I tried it afterwards remembering how divine it was and it was a bit disgusting!

kiminutter · 22/05/2007 19:46

Same as hoohoo, ice cubes. Lots and lots of them, with all 3 pregnancies. I used to get up in the night to crunch them.

Angeliz · 22/05/2007 19:47

mashed potaot with dd1.
Anything sweet with dd2
Rowntrees fruit pastille lollies with ds. EVERY night!

Ceebee74 · 22/05/2007 19:49

Haribo sweets - both the normal Starmix and the sour ones - tons and tons and tons of them. I couldn't not leave the house without ensuring I had a bag with me.

lorisparkle · 22/05/2007 19:55

muesli - I thought about it all day, bought some on the way home, ate it as soon as I got home, woke up in the morning with the very happy thought 'I've got muesli' - this went on for three days.

Anything sweet and cake like - especially doughnuts - were a real favourite too. I had to literally drag myself past that section of the supermarket!

LittleWonder · 22/05/2007 19:57

DD - egg may baguettes from one particular deli a long way away...also parsley by the handful, goats cheese...

DS - grapefruit juice - would usually put empty bottle on check out belt because drank it on the way...

What is with the ice??? never heard of that but obv. v v trendy!

hairycaterpillar · 22/05/2007 19:59

DS1 - mustard
DD - tomato soup
DS2 - sherbet

MrsWho · 22/05/2007 20:24

Washersaurus · 22/05/2007 20:28

Orange Juice, Ice Cream (any flavour), Ice cold 'Sprite' from a can not a bottle

purpleduck · 22/05/2007 20:44

hoohoo and kiminutter - I loved ice too!! I would wake up in the night to put the cubes from the tray in a bowl, and refill the tray!! The crunch was sublime, everything about it really. And it just changed like magic as soon as I had dc's. Weird!!

IntergalacticWalrus · 22/05/2007 20:47

DS1 Cider
DS2 pickled beetroot and satsumas

dinny · 22/05/2007 20:48

dd - carrot cake, cheesy chips
ds - citrus ice lollies, cherryade and a daily bag of watercress

IntergalacticWalrus · 22/05/2007 20:48

oh and when pg with DS2 I would druink about 4 pints of whole milk a day

gemmiegoatlegs · 22/05/2007 20:48

with ds, it was mints, mints and more mints, and also anything fruity/watery. Towards the very end i went mad on sausage rolls and even ate them whilst in labour.

With dd, mints again (I think it was the crunching)and also beef and gravy

plummymummy · 22/05/2007 20:49

chips with mayonaise and fresh pineapple but not together

saralou100 · 22/05/2007 20:52

ds1, plain bland food, would quite happily eat a bowl of pasta with nothing on it..

ds2 tomato's at first then chicken&chilli flavoured noodles... 3 meals a day (o sometimes more)!

gemmiegoatlegs · 22/05/2007 20:54

ooh, i just remembered one time when i had this horrible urge to get a grapefruit half, eat some of the segments and fill them with pickled onions. it was bizarre but it did the trick at the time and i never went down that path again!

themoon66 · 22/05/2007 20:56

Trebor extra strong peppermints.
Scottish oatcakes
spring onion crisps (M&S only)
soy sauce on fried rice.

kate100 · 22/05/2007 20:57

Loved the smell of petrol and cleaning products made me hungry, I'd get out of the shower and have another breakfast
