Mine's not weird, really, but I've eating soooooo much fruit since I got pregnant, I can't get enough of the stuff. I've been practically inhaling watermelon :o

In this pregnancy and both my previous 2, I've had a real thing for ice. DP won't sit next to me in the evenings as he can't bear the crunching!
At the moment I'm getting through about 4 of the 1kg bags a week. At least there's no calories in them!!!

You are both so lucky that you are craving healthy stuff ! I always seem to want the rubbishBlush

fluffy I am addicted to fruits too. Today I have had 4 bananas, a grapefruit, 2 kiwis, and some pineapple, which was vile.

I really fancy loads of rice all the time too. Couple of weeks ago i had rice every lunch and dinner - that made me gain so much weight that I am now focusing on fruits instead.

Mind you ladies, you have planted the idea of ice cubes and pot noodles in my head too!!!

I had the ice craving but that seems to have passed now.
I'm not craving anything but my anti-craving is sweet junk food (choc, cakes, biscuits) I've really gone off the stuff (hooray! hope this stays with me forever!)

Salt. Not salty things, salt. Trying not to give in, as you can imagine!

Burgers too. I love a burger.

Pork pie. Tinned peaches.

missjemima · 26/04/2012 18:40

Tinned peaches for me too... With yoghurt. Unfortunately pastries as well! Blush

EggsMichelle · 26/04/2012 18:42

Anything with peanut butter on it! It was eggs (hence my name) as before pregnancy I couldn't stomach more than one egg at a time, but gone off them since the nausea started :(

Ice. And has been like this since the early stages of PG and with each of mine.
I have anemia, my hb is very, very low at the moment for which i'm receiving IV infusions. I thought I'd point out that having cravings for ice is one of the symptoms of low iron -- i found that very odd but obviously makes a lot of sense to me now.
I crunch ice particularly at night like there's no tomorrow and a slush puppy with all that icy slosh is just wonderful :o

Oh, and i could cook a vegetable samosa at 8am with no probs at all ;)

With me it's stodgy potato products, I've been wanting gnocchi, potato waffles and original hula hoops alot!

I've gone off chocolate though as it is one of the many things that makes my heartburn worse

DuchessofHaphazard · 27/04/2012 08:56

I've really gone off most sweet things, but my real craving is fizzy jelly cola bottles, and cheese and onion crisps (which I normally think are vile).

DucketyDuckDuck · 27/04/2012 09:05

Mine was cheese burgers (unfortunately)
And Chinese takeaway curry, wierdly it was the only thing that didn't give me heartburn.

I hate fruit. But love it when pregnant.

I couldn't look at bread with seeds on, let alone eat it. Still can't and its two years later.

Oh I misss it all.....enjoy!

littlemissnormal · 27/04/2012 22:41

Smallwonder, I have low iron too. I think it's called pica where you crave something with no nutritional content?

BoysBoysBoysAndMe · 27/04/2012 22:48

With ds2 I ate my own weight in

Olives
Pickles
Picked beet root
Picked baby gherkins
Pepsi
Feta

I had a mid afternoon snack in 3rd trimester of a pint of whole milk, 2 bite size flap jacks, a banana and a chocolate digestive. God help anyone who got in my way of that snack!

But I could eat a jar of picked stuff a day. Easily.

justlemonade · 27/04/2012 22:54

Lemonade, lemon curd, lemon squash, plus the odd glass of Fanta. Addicted!
