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?

First child - cheese, had to have it breakfast, lunch and tea, hate the stuff now.
Second child - Roast dinners
Third child - Jaffa cakes
Fourth child - Cornish Pasties, had to be from a specific pasty shop in Penzance, used to eat at least 3 pasties a day!

DS-savaloys,kebabs,peanut butter and curries.
Couldn't stand tea or coffee,made me vomit

DD-Coke-gallons of the stuff(had to be in a can though),I'd have about 12 a day.

Citrus fruits-especially grapefruits and lemons which I'd eat whole,with the skins on.(makes my eyes water just thinking of it!!)

Beef crisps,dipped in Peach yoghurt-HAD to be those flavours.

Went off anything fatty,fried or sspicy.brushing my teeth made me cringe and so did the smel of perfume,bleach or cleaners.

Green olives dipped in bleu cheese dressing, mustard on anything it will go on, pure lemon juice...i go thru a bottle a day mmm and warheads candy...my tongue is sore from the acids

lilolilmanchester · 28/06/2007 22:47

A large gin and tonic and a fried egg with a runny yolk. Couldn't have either of them and couldn't wait for DS to be born so I could make up for lost time. DS was born, and i no longer fancied either. (wasn't off the gin for long tho, unfortunately!)

I had horrible hyperemesis all the way through pg. once i could keep anything down i had to have 3 bowls of readybrek a day - find it totally disgusting now, then went mad on tins of peas - never touch them normally and then mad for tins of fruit.

My lowest point came when i found myself unable to resist the smell of a new flip flop and used to sneak off to the bedroom for a quick whiff!!!

I went through a mad bacon and cabbage phase towards the end.

becklespeckle · 29/06/2007 12:26

No cravings with DS1 (DH craved Jaffa Cakes and raw jelly).
With DS2 no cravings other than I couldn't resist brushing my teeth everytime I went past the bathroom! (DH craved Mars Bars).
With this one again no cravings but I love the smell of washing powder, keep finding excuses to wander up the washing powder aisle when I am at work! (DH craving crackers and cheese this time)

moljam · 29/06/2007 12:33

Mr Kipling fruit pies

TrinityRhino · 29/06/2007 13:39

dd1 - yogurt on vanilla ice cream
and cold tinned custard on ice cream

dd2 - kfc

dd3 - kfc and mint choc

TiggernPooh2 · 29/06/2007 14:07

Green olives with lemon & garlic dressing or take away from pizza express (nowhere else ). Not too strange i know but I HATED olives before and still like them.

Fish & chips, had them nearly every night for 3 months (wonder why I put on 5 stone ).

Could not stand cooked veg or coffee though.

sockmonkey · 29/06/2007 14:07

DS1 - Twix, Ribena and coal...lovely crunchy coal. DH had to ban me from the cellar as I tried to eat the plaster. It smelled lovely.
DS2 - chocolate readybrek, coal (again) and water. I tried sticks of chalk too, but the anti-dust coating was a bit nasty.

bebespain · 29/06/2007 14:11

Grapefruit juice in abundance. I usually hate the stuff...oh and the end off French sticks

crayon · 29/06/2007 14:39

DS1 - I couldn't find anything sharp enough to satisfy my cravings - braeburn apples, grapefruit etc

DS2 - hot buttered toast and ready salted crisps

DS3 - ditto

Shoshable · 29/06/2007 14:43

Pickled onions and mars bars sliced up in a sandwich

bookwormmum · 29/06/2007 14:54

Dairy products - milk, cheese, and chocolate.

I thought I was having a mouse or a kitten, the amount of milk and cheese I managed to get through. Must say my dd has very strong arms and legs now - must have been all the calcium I was shoving down my throat.

tasja · 29/06/2007 15:19

Ham on a roll with mayo and skittles!

MiaMamma · 29/06/2007 15:20

mslucy · 29/06/2007 15:21

matildax · 29/06/2007 15:27

ice with all 3 of mine, used to crunch my way through big bags from the supermarket, and would get very distressed if they were out of stock, the ones i made at home just didnt "taste" the same!!! also jelly sweets with my two girls, and roast dinners, with my son oh and large portions of chips from the chippy, covered in salt and vinegar........ funny but that craving still hasnt passed

3andnomore · 29/06/2007 15:36

Ds 1...Negerkuesse (bit like Marshmellow cake things), but then we moved to the UK and there wasn't a Lidls nearby, so, I couldn't have them....changed my craving to Strawberries and Cream and Crusha in Milk, yum!

Ds 2....Maple Pecan twist things (those cakes) and cake in general and Apples

Ds 3....same as ds2

Nbg · 29/06/2007 15:39
