I can't get enough of hula hoops a fresh fruit juice Confused anyone else feeling the same? Thankfully no weird cravings yet apart from needed ice in a drink and getting some comfort out of crunching it Shock

You might need more iron, salt cravings can be for meat and the fruit juice helps your body absorb the iron. Try eating protein rich food with OJ and see if you feel better!

I just couldn't drink water at all for the first 12 weeks - made me feel so sick, all I could manage were things that tasted sweet and sour. I couldn't do it now!

Every meal I have needs extra salt or marmite on it! I can't get enough. I really want pears as well - a type of fruit I am not overly keen on usually.

I am still loving chocolate though. sighs

I had my iron levels checked a couple of weeks ago and apparently they're ok but it's only been the last week or so that this has started. I will mention it to the midwife though.

Ah congrats seriousstuff! I'm pretty sure I'm having a girl but I don't want to know Smile I'm totally off plain water, even the fizzy stuff. Anytime we go out for a meal or to the pub which is really rare I take up the opportunity to have appletiser mmmmmm! Smile
