Craving of the week...

[Kitty81]

...lettuce.

Makes a change from cake :o

So go on, ladies... Name your cravings :)

Liquorice allsorts - yum yum.

Not too wierd, but when I was in my first trimester I had to use all my will power not to eat dog biscuits, they just smelt heavenly!

mmmm, I eat a large bowl of natural set yogurt covered in hot honey and hot, mashed raspberries most nights - absolutely delicious!!! Going to indulge in a large glass of strawberry and banana innocent smoothie now and will start on the quavers later!

cheap chicken kievs, frazzles, calippos, fruitella/chewitts, orange squash. Thinly sliced cucumber with salt on...(?)

sleep

Beetroot. I hate beetroot! But am now managing to eat beetroot salad EVERY day for lunch. Went out for lunch yesterday with SIL and panicked quietly at the lack of beetroot.

Better than last time. DD wanted me to eat chocolate oranges (yes,it was her- I refuse to take responsibility). All the time!

Vinegar. And horseradish. Yum! :o)

Orange Juice & Chips. We had one day where there was no orange juice in the house, OH was being a meanie and wouln't get me any until I started sobbing because the craving was that bad.

anything salty. to the point that i will eat the crystals of rock salt out of the salt grinder.

the last time i was PG it was after eights and pickled onions at the tsame time allways washed down with a big bottle of dandelion and burdock. Makes me seem quite ormal this time (so far!)

Choc ices.

Earthy smell of construction sites or unbleached, recycled paper. I sit and sniff my magazine.

Thick slices of cheddar that I've poked several times with a fork and then rubbed vinegar and salt into the holes.

Grilled cheese sandwiches.

Dairylea triangles with the silver foil still on.

clara old wives tale - craving salty is according to an old wife, indicative of a boy.
Not true in my case - i like more sweet things and am having a boy.

well i know i'm definately having a boy so maybe there is some old wifey out there somewhere that is telling the truth!

It's not such an odd one, but all I want is mashed potato. It seems to be the only thing that tempts me through my morning (hoho, that's all-day-and-all-night ) nausea.

Dh can't stand mash and has taken to calling me "Badger"

oranges

Craving of non food stuffs like petrol and sand is called 'pica' and is often linked to deficiencies (the sand craving is common when anaemic).

I craved salt when pg with dd. And fajitas.

Celery ... Can't ge enough of it.

cadburys cream eggs mmmmmmm

Halloumi cheese on toast - whacked under the grill then topped with slices of cucumber and a drizzle of honey mmmmmmmm then the mother of all idigestion!!!

Ham and mayonnaise sandwiches. Not too weird except that I detest both ham and mayonnaise!

Hobnobs - but not the chocolate ones!

At the moment it's Muller Fruit Corners. Hadn't eaten one for probably 5 years but when I thought about that delicious creamy yoghurt...it just had to happen.

Chicken and stuffing sandwiches. The ready made ones.

Think your right about the iron thing - I have been put on iron tablets due to low iron levels after blood test last week!

how about this for weird, vicks vapourrub and vicks inhaler, really am limiting myself to the inhaler thing as don't know what it can do, but was the same with ds1 and he's ok - i dont eat them by the way just sniff em. Oh and last time i was chewing rubber does that mean anything? Not really craving that this time but am craving chewing gum which seems to be similar.

pineapple..... and chips (but i dont think thats a craving, just an excuse!)

gravy - with everything, just had to have bisto with my pizza last night (never normally have gravy granules either but I could drink it!)
