Cravings

[MrsBakerNeeld]

Hi all,

I'm 9/2wks and I know some say cravings are all in the head, but I'm wondering what everyone else is hankering for?

For me, it's protein (specifically beef, cooked any way!) Previously, I was fussy and ate nearly no meat whatsoever but no I can't get enough!

Briefly I also had a thing for sausage rolls but the morning sickness soon sorted that one... (lol sorry for tmi!)

I craved lemons... lots of lemons... had at least 4-5 per day during the 1st trimester .

Now on my 3rd trimester and crave mostly fruit and occasionally chocolate...

Meat meat meat - have had red meat 3 times this week already...

I like sushi from boots at the moment if I am energetic enough to leave the house and if not peanut butter sandwiches or corned beef sandwiches.

Also craving sour drinks and I had odd craving for a slushie yesterday and had to have one.

Fish fingers, rice pudding...and McDonalds (which is really weird as I haven't eaten one fro about 15 years!!!!)

from about 20-23 weeks I craved toasted sandwiches with mozzarella, pesto and sundried tomatoes. When I couldn't find a sandwich shop that sold them one day I ended up in floods of tears.

strawberry jam at start, now eating bags after bags off sweets. never had a sweet tooth until i was pg

mangos and pineapples!

Sweets, chocooate, sweets, chocolate......
especially haribo put them in the freezer then suck um' til they melt!!! loving coco pops too and fizzy lilt.....
ALWAYS been a savory girl but this one has turned me sweet!!!

Do you think that means my baby will be sweet??!!

cheddar cheese and ready salted crisps!!!

Sugar sugar sugar. I've always eaten really healthily - not to watch my weight, I just normally prefer fresh fruit, yoghurts etc to snacking on crisps or chocolate. But I've deveopled a terrible sweet tooth. Ice cream, cakes, chocolate.. its turning into a very expensive as well as unhealthy habit, it's usually specifically Green & Blacks that I want..

mine was beef too in the early weeks...it is probably the body stocking up on iron!

Jam sandwiches....but they have to be made with particularly cheap and nasty white sliced bread and the jam has to be strawberry or blackcurrant.

Early on (1st trimester) I craved salty foods, especially clear soup. Also lots of milk (which I usually can't stand, at least not drinking it straight).

Now (end of 2nd/beginning of 3rd trimester) I've been craving beer. Very strange.

Cucumber and steamed brocoli - going through a cucmber every other day and about the same on the brocoli - wierd!

Sponges. But only from 26 + weeks. I like the rub them on my face, in my hands, I like to smell them and chew them. I find my craving for sponges excellerates (sp) when Im feeling down (say, after a stressful day) or if I am run down.

I am 28 weeks and have a very intense craving for milk and milk shakes. Cannot get enough of them, going through at least 2.5-3 pints a day.
Didn't really have any cravings earlier on because my sickness was so bad until 22 weeks although I did make a few late night trips to McDonalds to get a large diet coke, even though we had some in the fridge, it had to be from there with ice and a straw

Anything savoury for me. Just food really, not fussy. In my last pregnancy I couldn't get enough of chocolate but hate it this time. Blimey, sponges? I've heard or chalk and petrol cravings and am glad I don't fancy anything like that. My dh thinks pregnant women are weird enough without me chewing on a sponge or drinking petrol!

i couldnt get enough beef in the beginning, when I could stop being sick I wanted a burger from the dodgy place in town.

I have ordered a box of cheeseburger quarterback crisps, cant wait for them to arrive.

Junk food is mine - if I ate this bad normally I would be ill, but when I eat fruit and veg I am actually ill.

Fish!!! In the early stages mine was junk food too! That was the only thing that would stay down! Would even dream on a regular basis about chippy tea!!! And I usually am a very healthy person!
Now, (16 weeks) it's fish, smoked salmon, cockles, prawns, anchovies, herring! Cannot get enough of it!!! Sat and stared at the fish counter today thinking, I could just pick up one of those fish and take a bite out of it! So I bought one!!, :)

Currently craving macdonalds burgers although not actually succumbed yet - i don't do mcdonalds, been years since i was last in there - wierd!

Last time I needed blt's and ice. I had a girl. This time I'm craving toast and humous, but I don't know if it's cause I ditch the diet in preg so I know I better enjoy these vices while I can!
