What did you crave during pregnancy???

[wurlywurly]

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?

a different husband.

coke with ice and lemon
and soup I hate soup

ds1- in no particular order- rowntrees fruit gums, calippo ice lollies, pasties, roast potatoes with bread sauce

ds2- spicy curry pot noodles

dd- big macs (usually at about 8 in the morning (and i discovered they dont start selling them til about 11am!!!)

i never ever ever eat 'junk food'. i just dont like it. i always felt a bit 'sullied' after my pot noodle and big mac binges. i used to have to do it in secret!

Sausage rolls, which I normally loathe. Lots of them. My record was 7 large ones in one sitting

.....and appletiser for some reason.

Skittles (sweets) with dd
Fruit gums with ds

Thanks for the tip Mrs Badger. Bought some german ones today but can't remember the name. Agree that the wine is rank. It's so annoying - went off it straight away with ds!

When I first became pregnant I was interested to know what I'd crave, and was really disappointed to find that I didn't crave anything at all. As soon as my morning sickness finished I just ate normally.
However, although I didn't crave it, all I could keep down during the MS was toast and marmite. That kept me alive for at least 3 months.

With DD I craved fruit (the sourer/tarter the better) and mashed potato with gravy.

(not together!)

Ds 1 craved oranges
DD Butterscotch
Ds2 olives
Ds3 orange juice, about 3 cartons diluted with water a day!
Ds4 nothing in particular.

DS - milk
DD - Salmon

DD - basil - had a plant on my desk at work and used to pick the leaves off.

DS - smoked salmon, olives and chalk - went in to ELC to buy some nontoxic type stuff - always had a stick or two on me. Never told anyone I was eating it - I know I sound like a weirdo!

This time - crunchy food

Cocktail Cherries, we had a Costco account where I worked & I was give 2 massive jars of them when the receptionist did the shop there....I'd sit with the jar on my bump & spoon them in.......

curry sauce & chips.
BBQ Walkers crisps

Oh & Coke!

This is a wierd one...Caper berries wrapped in Kraft processed cheese slices.

i never had cravings for food but went mad for the smell of bleach and disinfectant in citrus smell!!! i was forever cleaning the bathroom lol

Last pg was mexican food, this time round it's been macaroni cheese.

Generic cravings for both pg's has been sex and jaffa cakes. Unfortunately the craving for sex usually strikes at about 3.30pm when dh is generally at work and dd home from school . Fortunately the jaffa cake craving is far more accommodating, explaining why I'm now a sex-starved lard arse

The smell of persil....

peanut butter on toast
Son is now allergic to peanuts (no advice in those days)

Oh, second the peanut butter thing!!

Bassetts Milky Babies
Hot croissants with butter
Cheerios
Granny Smith apples (I ate 3 a day, and got nervous when I ran out)
At the moment it's fresh pineapple, mmm.

diet coca cola - to settle tum in morning.
Avocados avocados and more avocados!
Cake - dont think that is just a pg thing though

I know this makes me sound a bit mental but I sniffed newspaper for the last 2 months of my pregnancy (and even ate some on occasion ). Also I desperately wanted to chew the rubber mats in my car (but didn't!)

Pregnancy 1 - Champagne..honest..I used to gaze longingly at it in the supermarket, but forced myself against my will to buy sparkly water instead and drank gallons. Also custard. Daughter now 20.
Pregnancy 2 - Christmas Cake - baby was due Boxing Day, and was a fortnight late, which gave me plenty of time to eat FOUR whole MASSIVE cakes, singlehandedly, mainly during the night..what a fantastic month that was! I only put on 9 pounds the whole pregnancy and daughter no 2 weighed 8 pounds - she's now 18.
Pregnancy 3 - MEAT!!! I tried to be a vegetarian for 3 months of my life which included the 1st 2 months of this pregnancy, but obviously I wasn't cut out to be, so I made up for it big style afterwards. Son now 16.
Current pregnancy - only 8 weeks in, totally addicted to ice cubes. There ARE worse things, so am quite relieved!
