What are your cravings?

[Blueberry234]

Mine is ice cream, steak, and iceberg lettuce with salad cream

Steak! And any kinda junk food... I'd murder a pizza right now but can't have it cos I've gallstones and would likely end up in a&e even tried making my own lowfat ones and they're terrible! Somebody help me finda low fat pizza before I kill someone?

Fruit, fruit, fruit. Often with added milk. I had honestly never had a smoothie in my life before I got pg and now every day I'm gulping them down. Juices, chopped in salad, in my fist, all types, all the time. Always thought fruit was a complete waste of calories before. Weird.

When the first craving hit it was really funny. Standing in the kitchen late afternoon, and suddenly I was literally shaking for want of a piece of fruit. Sent DH running to the supermarket, and when he came back I literally fell on the bag and stood there cramming nectarines and apples into my mouth together. Didn't stop until I'd eaten five.

I had no cravings last time I was pregnant at all.

This time I have craved the smell of rubber - elastic bands, new converse smell, hair bands. When it was at its worst I carried my own stash of rubber bands round with me.

Now that's weird even for me!

Just had a dominos pizza with tons of garlic and herb dressing. Been thinking about it since10am! Amazing!!

Pineapple juice (hated it before) bacon and egg sandwiches (well done egg, can't wait to have a runny yolk again) and croissants stuffed with ham and cheese. The sweet/savoury thing is just amazing. Oh and tea, I'm drinking about 10 pints of decaf tea a day!!!

MMB
Xxx

Rubber bands also! The smell, and chewing them, day and night. I carry a box around with me xxx

Banana milkshakes, white chocolate and ice cold water/squash had to be really cold!! Then i jst fancied anything and everything lol

Initially it was salt and vinegar crisps as they were all I could eat without wanting to hurl (I don't normally like salt and vinegar flavour!)

Now it's Bovril in drink form (full of pregnancy friendly B vitamins, I just try not to think about the salt content) and orange squash. But not together. That would be wrong.

potatoes. I eat mashed, jacket s,boiled ans and I can eat them all day long

Me too with the big oranges

Mmmmmm

last time it was licking sponges. am 16 weeks at the moment and just had a little twang of oh yes when I wrote the sponge thing, so I guess it's going to happen this time too!

Yep i have had the ice craving through one of my pregnancies....ending up crunching 2 to 3 pints of crushed ice at night with a husband so irritated he threatened to leave !! This time im liking peanut butter and Philadelphia cream cheese mixed together on toasted bagels...mmmmmm

At the beginning it was anything pickle/onion related with cheese, at one point I was having jalapeños with Philadelphia for breakfast now (36 weeks) it's chocolate, chocolate and more chocolate. I even cried the other night because we didn't have any in!

Sellotape!!!!!! I havè to bite some off and sniff it whenever I see it!!

Cheese (mature cheddar) on everything, particularly cheese and cucumber, and avocados. And chocolate and ice cream. Before I was pregnant I rarely touched sweet stuff or chocolate - we still had chocolate left over from Christmas on top of the fridge but it's rapidly disappearing now!

Tomato juice - I'd hardly ever had it before being pregnant but I can't get enough of it at the moment

Another one here who is really fancying ice lollies and even just ice cubes on their own. So much so I stupidly got an ice cube straight out the freezer and got it stuck to my lip and tongue lol!

Also a bit addicted to kettle sea salt and balsamic vinegar crisps and lemony things too. Anything sharp tasting.

Starting now to fancy tins of kippers! They look gross but just have to have them sometimes!
Seems like lots of people have similar cravings, I wonder why!

Sleep!

Chocolate milk and sour things for me! Starting to think ice would be rather nice too!

I was craving ice pops but now it's definitely salads with loads of olives, quite happy with this craving

Ellabella that subway salad is exactly what I'm craving most! Lol

Helenhel you can use whole meal pita bread for the base and a strong hard cheese instead of cheddar? Not as nice as the real thing but still lush

Grapes! By the punnet. And sucking the juice out of quartered oranges!
