Ds: white chocolate, milk
Dd: cucumber, lettuce, cream crackers, sparkling water. Am sure that was all I ate in the last trimester.

With both dc I loved the smell of dust, tar and creosote. I used to stand in the cellar sniffing or inhaling roadworks

rachywhite83 · 21/04/2013 18:11

cheese strangles Grin has to be dairylea too currently oh and sour cream with various veg for dipping. I hate cheese strangles. Had a craving for milk i dont like milk either. I drank a pint and half the other day whilst everyone looked on bewildered.
Beetroot pickled in spirit not malt vinegar with everything if possible.
Beef crisps seabrook are the favourites.

Im currently 17 wks not looking forward to other cravings if the dairylea and milk are anything to go by.
My other 3 pregnancies werent too bad for cravings.

Those Frijj milkshakes for both pregnancies. I can't stomach anything milky when not pregnant. Guessing the babies needed calcium.

megarobotdiscoparty · 21/04/2013 18:30

Cheese cheese cheese - I leave a trail of babybel wrappers wherever I go. Milkshakes. Icecream. DH is vegan so was practically dairy free before I got pg- goes to show your body craves what it needs.

(doesn't account for all the chocolate though....sigh)

MoodyDidIt · 21/04/2013 18:35

cheese. KFC. chippy fish and chips with lots of salt and vinegar Blush

i try not to give in to them much as i'll end up size of a house :o

Frostyfoxy · 21/04/2013 18:36

I craved my DH's homemade chilli con carne. I didn't actually realise it was a craving until I drove to the supermarket and bought just red kidney beans as we had the other ingredients but not them!

Before I knew I was pregnant I started drinking coffee, I didn't like it before and then a few days after the positive pregnancy test I went right off it again and couldn't even stand the smell of it anywhere near me!

olgaga · 21/04/2013 18:42

I had caesar salad on 8 out of 10 days when I was around 5 months. Couldn't face it again for two years.

Used to fry fresh mackerel (served with apple sauce) regularly before pregnancy, couldn't stand the smell of it cooking when pregnant.

Have never cooked it since - 12 years later I still couldn't.

MoodyDidIt · 21/04/2013 18:43

oh and lemon and lime fizzy pop, been getting through loads of it

:S

blueshoes · 21/04/2013 19:14

Red meat - had to have it! I was having a boy.

takingachance · 21/04/2013 19:19

Branleuse that is pretty strange!! Can imagine most cravings - but not sponges!!

SomethingOnce · 21/04/2013 19:24

Is bath sponge not a type of cake? Shock

SomethingOnce · 21/04/2013 19:25

As in Bath, the place?

mouseymummy · 21/04/2013 19:25

With dd1 it was pickled beetroot dipped in mint sauce :-/ odd but my God it was lush!
With dd2 it was something dh named the god burger, a really cheap square sausage with shed loads of cheese in a t cake. It set my heartburn off so had to avoid... I had one the other day, vom!!

With this pg, salt and vinegar crisps and fruit... Especially melon and grapes. I buy 2 melons a week atm.

DXBMermaid · 21/04/2013 19:28

Starbucks caramel frappachino's! Also mango, baby carrots, mars ice cream and cakes.

Can not stand steak and other red meat. Olives taste weird too and not too keen on eggs either.

OneFingerSjupesUpTheYoni · 21/04/2013 19:30

YoniRanger · 21/04/2013 19:32

Pears. Hundreds and hundred of pears.
No interest before and after

At the moment it's cheese (Stilton and mature cheddar in particular) celery and carrots. Also loving strawberries, pink grapefruit and pineapple.
