Really WEIRD cravings, anyone?

[Unbuffy]

Is anyone else having thoroughly peculiar cravings / taste combination issues? I am currently twenty four weeks and things just got very odd with my tastebuds...

In true Jesse's Diets fashion, this week I have mostly been eating fruit scones with Marmite (and occasionally cream as well) and salt and vinegar crisps with golden syrup. yeuk/yum/not sure at all.

Please tell me your horror stories and make me feel less weird!

salt n vinager crisps with ice cream!

my worse out of my four children,was sniffing turps and petrol,when filling the car up,i wanted to put the nozzle to my mouth and drink it,dont worry i didnt lol.

in work i got an overwheming smell it was so lovely i had to have it,i hunted high and low and found it,yes a workmans rag full of turps,it was so so lovely..i put in it my pocket and had a quick sniff,every few minutes,i didnt do deep inhlaes just a sniff.

I tll love the smell now and shoes polish.:)

I'm the same on the petrol. I was actually putting less unleaded in the car so that i could go to the garage more. I tried to get some on my hands a few times so i could sniff it.

Also white spirit- a bottle of which has been recently confiscated from me by dh as i kept sniffing it.

Ha ha Unbuffy, crisps with golden syrup is one of the best cravings I've ever heard of - truly horrible. I'm only 16 weeks and so far my cravings have been very sensible: donoughts and banana milkshake (not together). My baby likes pudding!

GT35 oil for me, on a bit of blue roll, I could sniff it all night!!! I have some more normal cravings too but baby plum tomatoes just don't smell as good.....

I crave ice all the time.

I used to get the urge to lick metallic lime green cars, even now, my mouth still waters when i see one.

Yellow food. When I was pg with DS it was yellow foods. Lots of desserts are yellow, but I'm sure there were yellow savory foods too. Also raw onion. Couldn't stand it before, but even now I still like it.

Only just pg with DC2, so looking forward to finding out what this one demands I drink and eat.

The smell of bleach! I haven't had any food cravings this time around. I'm 37 weeks now with DC2, and I open a bottle of bleach now and again to have a sniff. And our bathroom is gleaming :)

Bristles. I just want to chew brushes I am 30 weeks pregnant and I've been cleaning my teeth 5 or 6 times a day so I can chew the bristles...not sure what that's about!

food beginning with 'O'... octopus, opal fruits and oranges!!!

When I was pregnant with DD1 I craved cheap bath sponges, the smell when I first unwrapped them was divine.The initial plasticy smell only lasted an hour or so, but one a day for 4 months satisfied my craving and certainly helped the profits of the local chemist! We then reused them for cleaning the car, I think the last one was used about 2 years ago (DD is nearly 9). I am loath to admit this but I did rip bits of and chew them, never swallowed though.

Lavender... (to smell) has been driving me nuts so now have bottle of lavender water, lavender soaps, lavender bubble bath, lavender aromatherapy oil.. Just need to wait until the pelvic floor starts to struggle and I will have perfected that old lady smell :)

Though I have to say, some of these are far far weirder than I was expecting!!

With DD1 smelling t-zone tea tree face wipes, was like a junky, used to lay with them over my face, inhaling as hard as poss! I ran out once and kept the packet to sniff - ended up with little scratches on the sides of my nose from the packet.

Nothing too exciting with this pregnancy yet......had a mad thing for avocados at first......then coronation chicken sandwich filler.........now blackcurrant fruit pastils......and I want cheese all the time.

Love the lime green car one deemented!

Waves to unbuffy!!

I loved the smell of cat food during my first pregnancy! I never went as far as eating any but i used to sit on the stairs whilst the cats were eating breathing it in.

Lol...with my first I really craved salt and vinegar squares! Strange as I dont even add salt or vinegar to my meals!
I used to so look forward to washing up with citrus fairy...couldn't inhale enough of the lemon smells!! Weird!!
This time around my cravings change from week to week, this week its anything meaty! Roast lamb, steak, beef, chicken mmmmmm!!!
