34 weeks and craving orange juice, though trying to limit it so I don't get heartburn. Anyone else?

Same here. Though not restricted to orange juice. Oranges, juicy apples, pineapple is a particular fave atm!! Anything with lots and lots of JUICE.

Argh now I want more...

I'm earlier on than you but drinking loads of orange juice too, at least a pint a day. dh thinks I must need the vit c as eaten 2 bags of oranges in 3 days too!

I am 26 weeks with DC4 and have craved OJ in all my pregnancies. Yum yum, we need an orange juice smiley to give on the pregnancy threads instead of wine!
I think it is quite a common craving!

Fluffyfish · 07/11/2012 22:29

It's just so juicy and yummy and orangey. Smile

My only other real cravings this time and last time were avocado and chocolate spread.

I'm only 7+5 and all I can drink is juice (apple or orange)

FranTan · 08/11/2012 08:29

Am drinking my first glass of orange juice as I type. Last glass was at 11pm last night. Craving milk, also.

ohfuschia · 08/11/2012 08:59

Yes, 36 weeks and crave orange juice, lemon tasting things and Skittles!

LauraPalmerPlusOne · 08/11/2012 09:25

Oh, I'm having Skittles cravings, too. The new ones with the dual flavoured centres in the orange packet. Can't get enough and can munch a whole bag in a shockingly short amount of time...

Fluffyfish · 08/11/2012 09:39

So pleased skittles not just me! Wonder if it is associated with a particular gender (we don't know what we're having).

Oooh yes orange juice has been a constant craving (is there a song in there?!) for me and am now 26+1.

LauraPalmerPlusOne · 08/11/2012 10:02

We're having a boy. Most of my cravings have been savoury, sour and salty. And milk (cartons and cartons and cartons of milk!) But Skittles and large bags of Percy Pigs & Pals seem to be the exception to any pattern.

Mmmmmm. Skittles...want some now!

LauraPalmerPlusOne · 08/11/2012 10:03

I'm 27wks, btw.

StateofConfusion · 08/11/2012 10:07

I've been mad on orange juice and cloudy apple since about 20wks, 33+4wks now and still love them, happily drink a whole large bottle of copella in one sitting!

Anothercerealnamechanger · 08/11/2012 20:53

My craving is fish, smoked salmon and king prawns in chilli and mayo. Had it last time as well, the need for orange juice is new though.

noblegiraffe · 08/11/2012 21:06

Can't get enough of lovely lovely satsumas. There was a thread recently about craving oranges with the theory that if you crave oranges it means you're having a girl (That's what my scan said I'm having!) :)

helebear · 08/11/2012 21:11

I'm currently loving 1/4 glass of OJ, 1/4 glass of cranberry topped up with lovely cold water. I could drink gallons of that. I'm 19 weeks.

BridgetandtheHairyBrigands · 08/11/2012 21:15

Not pregnant at the moment (though would love to be) but with my DD I drank litres and litres of orange juice. Just couldn't get enough of the stuff. This thread has brought back happy memories, thank you!

SecretSparkle · 08/11/2012 21:18

Oh I must have some skittles!!!

jenbird · 08/11/2012 21:25

I too have craved OJ all the way through and can totally sympathise on the heartburn thing. I have found that drinking it slightly fizzy helps a little and also LOVE that san pellagrino fizzy orange. I can't have it in the house otherwise I would just drink it by the bucket load.

Anothercerealnamechanger · 08/11/2012 22:04

craved satsumas with DD. Bags of them. This time OJ is easier Grin

LimeLeafLizard · 08/11/2012 22:12

I am craving OJ and having a girl, but then I also craved OJ in my previous three pregnancies and I have 3 DSs!

DyeInTheEar · 08/11/2012 22:20

Me too! Am 37 weeks and I never normally drink it and want it all the time. I love my DDs innocent orange drinks though I finish one in 4 seconds.

And weetabix.

InNeedofSomeSleep · 08/11/2012 22:39

I loved real juice orange ice lollies with dd. Ate a box a day, and ice cubes think it was cold stuff. This pregnancy not had any cravings yet.

xnancyx · 08/11/2012 23:24

This thread made me chuckle. I've been the same, I'm 11 weeks and can't get enough of Orange Juice with bits, Cloudy Apple Juice and Fruit Pastilles! Fruity Fruity haha :) xxxxx
