DS1 started off being marmite. Then I moved on to oranges. I'm not keen on either.

DS2 was cherries, oranges and a particular fruit drink. I think it was rio

MrsMangoBiscuit · 22/04/2013 09:25

With DD I craved steak and broccoli, or doughnuts and icecream. Other than broccoli, I didn't like any of them before.

This time round I was just really into fruit and veg, steak and fish, until Friday. Now I want falafel! I've had it for every meal except lunch on Sunday Blush

Fresh fruit & loads of it. On it's own or chopped into muesli with yoghurt & milk.

Particularly loved plums, pomegranates & these weird Asian pears that I found in Morrisons at the time.
Cinnamon buns.
Chips with loads of salt & vinegar and s&v crisps. (Normally don't partic like vinegar.)
Baked potato with butter & loads of black pepper and/or mild cheddar (normally this is tasteless to me, prefer strong cheese)
Lemon jelly babies.
Garibaldi biscuits.

In fact that was pretty much my entire pregnancy diet, anything else made me feel gippy.

Also autumn fruits cordial that Morrisons used to do - haven't seen it in there for a while, but I expect it wouldn't taste the same now anyway!

MrsSpagBol · 22/04/2013 09:37

All these cravings are making mine seem distinctly average. Yours are all so creative!

  • skittles
-orange kit kats -m&s strawberry scones -mango and pineapple -prawn cocktail crisps

Ambrosia cream rice in little pots, cold. Oh, and Alpro chocolate soya desserts. Haven't touched either since and that was 10 yrs ago

CitrusyOne · 22/04/2013 10:20

Freezing cold jelly. Any flavour.

And also at various stages, cheese and pickle sandwiches, freezing cold berries, caffeine free diet coke (pints and pints of it), flavoured fizzy water.

None of this is at all appealing now I'm no longer pregnant!

Fakebook · 22/04/2013 10:31

Nothing yet with this pregnancy. With dd it was cheese and with DS it was come.

Fakebook · 22/04/2013 10:32

COKE. With DS it was COKE. COCA COLA.

SeriousStuff · 22/04/2013 10:40

My filthiest were salt and vinegar crisps and anything battered or breaded e.g. frozen battered cod, fish fingers, chicken dippers (I never usually buy these things!), also mash and gravy, cheese and tomato sandwiches and orange juice with lemonade.

Luckily, they stopped 2 weeks ago!

SomethingOnce · 22/04/2013 11:54

Lol, Fake, for a moment there it looked like the world's most regrettable overshare!

weebleknievel · 22/04/2013 12:15

LOL fake just spat my tea out reading that!

Apanicaday · 22/04/2013 12:52

Granny Smiths apples. Happened with DS2, and again this time. They have to be from the fridge though - ones that have been out and aren't cold just aren't good enough :). I hate granny smiths when I'm not pregnant - but at the moment am eating at least 5 a day!

WhereMyMilk · 22/04/2013 12:59

Banana sandwiches made with fresh white bread, butter (thick), banana & sugar!
Dandelion and burdock pop-by the pint!
Microwave popcorn.
All with DD

With DS was mash & gravy-& not lovely homemade stuff-was the stuff you get in a packetBlush

LittleAbruzzenBear · 22/04/2013 13:05

Nowt, except at 4 months pregnant with DS1 I had a month where every night I had to have the following for dinner:

Grilled mackerel, served with, cabbage sautéed with caramelised onions and garlic added to buttery mashed potato with a tbsp of mustard mixed in.

rrreow · 22/04/2013 13:20

Cucumber at the moment (32w). I think it probably has something to do with hydration/thirst levels. It's actually the first time I've craved anything specific during this pregnancy! With my first pregnancy I went through stages of craving all sorts of different things (weirdest thing was beer) but that has been completely absent this time.

toni1bump · 22/04/2013 13:47

Im only 8 weeks today and already have cravings! Mine are peppermint polo mints, tropical juice (the dangerously expensive and fattening not-from-concentrate) and wotsits.... First time pregnant and they the only things that stop my nausea!! Just wish they were healthier 8)..

At first satsumas, and anything orange smelling/tasting. My MIL came round with an orange scented candle one day which I just would sniff, unlit, for ages, and carried round the flat with me. I am having a girl.

Gherkins dipped in mustard - a jar at a time Hmm makes me feel ill now though, and S&V crisps,

Currently cheese and tomato sandwiches on plastic white bread with real butter, special K with full fat, very cold milk.

PoohBearsHole · 22/04/2013 16:34

The smell of fish fingers or anything cooking made my stomach turn. Dd lived on toast for 6months!

Carrots. Shedloads of the dratted things. Had to nip out of work this afternoon to get more - this baby's going to either be bugs bunny or have fantastic nocturnal eyesight Grin

Fakebook · 22/04/2013 19:23

Grin damn autocorrect - I apologise for the spurting of beverages, I did it too when I saw what I'd written!

Does anyone else crave water? I can go a entire day only drinking one cupof tea but now I can drink SO much water, is that normal?
