I'm tucking away satsumas at the moment (25 weeks), earlier on I had a massive thing for lemonade. Obviously an acidic citrus thing! Better than my first pregnancy when I got through tonnes of Haribo Tangfastics.

I've had a real thing for tomatoes - juicy baby plum tomatoes... mmmm... and any tomatoey sauces and canned tomatoes. We have eaten a lot of ragu type meals! Also craved fresh pineapple... nearly dragged myself out to the shop last night at 9.30pm to buy a whole pineapple but in the end the rain (and the promise of heartburn eating it at that time of night) stopped me. It was a close call though. I have also discovered a love of lemon Muller fat-free yoghurts... ate 3 of them for lunch :) This is much better than the cake and curry and buttery jacket potatoes that I craved with ds!

I have been peeling grapefruits! I'm not supposed to eat or drink citrus because of enamel erosion so I'm another one who will be in trouble with the dentist!

Corned beef!!!

So jealous of you people and your fruit addictions. Mine is chips and salt.

spongesBlush I don't swallow them just love to chew on them.

I had a huge craving for all things orangey too with DD! I drank only diet Tango, ate tons of oranges & orange ice lollies Grin. Do you know the sex of your baby? Someone (think it was a friend of a friend) told me "oh, it'll be a girl if you've gone on orange things". It was a girl but, to be fair, she did have a 50/50 chance of being right anyway Grin.

backwardpossom · 18/10/2012 22:40

Milk! Although I'm loving all things orangey too :)

noblegiraffe · 18/10/2012 22:59

Hmm, do you think this is why we get free dental care in pregnancy? Grin

2blessed · 19/10/2012 04:52

Milk and melted cheese

emeraldgirl1 · 19/10/2012 08:01

Yeah what's the deal with the whole orange thing?? Have noticed this myself the last few days - almost went berserk with excitement when DH picked up a bag of clementines from the greengrocer... In fact, fruit in general is something I've enjoyed far more since being pg - blueberries, melon, mango, apples...

growyourown77 · 19/10/2012 08:05

Satsumas, tangerines, anything orangy, fanta lemon, melon, pineapple, grapes...just fruit and more fruit!

Plus crust bread and salty Walkers French Fries...

13+4

KenDoddsDadsDog · 19/10/2012 08:09

Mine was oranges and fresh orange juice mixed with lemonade. My DD now eats satsumas as if they are growing to be made illegal any day.

noblegiraffe · 19/10/2012 08:27

Satsumas are buy one bag get one free in Sainsbury's, which is lucky because I went on Wednesday and am already on the second bag.

They're nice sharp ones too :)

I'm having a girl so the evidence is mounting in favour of the orange thing = girl theory Grin

willyoulistentome · 19/10/2012 10:35

How funny - Oranges was the only pregnant craving I had too! I once ate something like 6 in a day.

mom2rhysnruby · 19/10/2012 12:07

growyourown77 · 19/10/2012 18:25

Had three lovely tangy, juicy, messy satsumas today! DH swears it a girl anyway, but we've got a fair few weeks to wait to see if he's right.

ImPeppaPigOink · 19/10/2012 20:14

Another one for oranges. Anything orangey I love.

I'm having a girl :) I had the same craving with DD.

I went through a phase of drinking loads of orange juice, then wanting milk, but only the really bad for you, full fat jersey cow milk.

Actually I would love a glass of that milk now!

Stepawayfromthesweeties · 22/10/2012 19:27

Bread, bread and more bread. Not only delicious but also seems to temporarily stop the hideous nausea :0)

mrsbugsywugsy · 22/10/2012 20:27

How funny, I too am REALLY into satsumas at the moment, I thought it was just me. they are just so juicy and orangey...mmmmm. And the baby kicks like crazy whenever I eat one.

I am also having a girl!
