over the christmas few weeks it was oranges, I don't normally like oranges but couldn't get enough of them, orange juice, navel oranges, clementines, during a 9 hour shift i had 5 clementines and about 2.5 litres of not from concentrate orange juice, it's died down now, which is good because my work collegues were starting to think I was nuts!
now i've moved onto ice cream, me and my OH are eating it every day, I don't think he needs the excuse though!!
other than that i'm having the seeing and having to eat craving! my doctors is about 30 seconds away from Mcdonalds and i end up there every time when i was in the docs for appointments, i think i need blinkers !!

ICE! Had the same craving with dc1 but at least that was in the summer. I'm bloody freezing at the mo but am still getting through trays of the stuff.

It's a pain actually as its an insatiable craving so really frustrating. Plus I'm worried about my poor teeth.

Haven't got up in the night for it yet this time (dh used to find me standing at the freezer chomping away), but I do often lie awake thinking about it. I feel like an ice junky!

Right have to go and get some now I'm thinking about it.

Intense dairy cravings for the first four months (cheeeeeese) now giving way to more sensible things like pineapple and felafel salad. So relieved, thought I would never be able to stomach a healthy thing again for a while there!

A chicken tikka masala, a very sweet coconutty one! With a pinky sauce! & lots of cheese sandwiches or baguettes, but the cheese has to be grated otherwise it makes me heave!

Don't really have any cravings but have been eating alot chocolate. I didn't really like the stuff before I was pg. Could eat a whole packet of chocolate biscuits right now if I had the energy to get of the couch & walk to the kitchen to find them!

Hello ladies

Am only 5 weeks gone at what stage do you get cravings? (First timer obviously)

I have gone off all crap which is most unlike me, used to have chocolate cravings before I was pregnant...... Daily..... I am sure that is the wrong way round!

I'm actually rather gutted. I'm 30 weeks and yet to get any form of cravings. Don't particularly like anything i haven't before. Or lost tastes for anything.

My sister liked sponges and the smell of new carpet. She'd walk around carpet shops just to smell it. She's nibble on washing up sponges, she likes the texture.

I want weird cravings :(

Not cravigns as such as I am very suggestible, example being that someone only has to metnion some kind of lovely food stuff in passing and BAM I NEED THAT EXACT THING NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOW!

Am fidning I am needing strong tasting things, full of spice, heat - hot and sour soup is a favourite.
And bread but then that's my all time favourite and I'm just taking advantage ;)
