Cravings & Gender...?

I just wondered what everyone's cravings were during pregnancy and what gender was the baby?

With my first DS, mine were Mushrooms, Fish and Fruit (early on)

With DS2, Fizzy Drinks (anything from Coke, Fanta, 7Up etc., and I'd never been a fan of these types of drinks!)

Pregnant with DS3, really craving anything citrus-y, like Tangerines, Oranges, Orange Juice, Lemon's etc! Wink

Salty food, tangy apples, tangy sweets, fruit, fizzy drinks, milk and ice-cream. 1st pregnancy and expecting a boy.

I craved pork pies with brown sauce, milkshakes, cheese (I guess calcium) and had ID twin girls

Always fruit and I've had more girls than boys. Didn't vary by sex of baby at all.

MrsBungle · 12/07/2014 14:55

I had the same cravings both times: lemons, limes, salt and tom yum soup! I had a girl then a boy.

I didn't have cravings as such but with both my pregnancies (both boys) for the first 3 months I went off sweet stuff and wanted savoury all the time. To the point where I got to work one morning at 9am and would have killed a colleague for a piece of steak! As it went, a beef oxo cube got me through it lol!

loopylady83 · 12/07/2014 15:18

I went off chocolate and not a big fan of it now tbh

Passthecake30 · 12/07/2014 15:22

Ds- cheese and milk
Dd- haribo, butterkist, cheap ham by the packet load

Ds makes way healthier choices than dd (who also LOVES meat! )

nyldn · 12/07/2014 16:54

boy- mango, Nutella, cheese

OrangeMochaFrappucino · 12/07/2014 17:05

Both boys - crisps and lemonade both times. Ciabatta, gummy bears and Granny Smiths the first time. Milk, ice cream and oranges with the second. And anything tangy and citrus-y as well.

Scoobsmam13 · 12/07/2014 17:31

Marmite and salt and vinegar - both pregnancies, and pretty sure this one is a girly too.

Pregnantagain7 · 12/07/2014 19:19

The girls were both fruit especially mango or any soft fruit and anything sweet.
With my son it was more savoury stuff and loads of meat, steak and tandoori lamb chops were my favourite.
I craved ice lollies and ice pops with all of them.
I'm pregnant with dc4 and this time it's meat again and carrot sticks with spicy houmus.
Don't know what I'm having but would guess a boy :)

MoominKoalaAndMiniMoom · 12/07/2014 20:46

McDonalds chicken nuggets (no other nuggets would do), Vimto ice lollies, apples and strawberries. And went off chocolate totally. I spent the whole pregnancy trying to analyse this to figure out what I was having - was none the wiser until DD popped out Grin

Boys.. fruits, eggs, spicy crisps, savoury foods,meat.
Girls..Coke, sweet stuff, Ginger beer with fresh orange juice.
This time...vinegar, pickled beetroot, sour fruit, cherry tomatoes,spicy salty foods and cheese.

melliebobs · 13/07/2014 22:02

At the start it was salt and vinegar anything
At the end bacon....bacon....pork....pork crackling and um more bacon - which btw I didn't even like pre pregnancy
I had a girl. Who also loves a bacon buttie!

Provencalroseparadox · 13/07/2014 22:10

DS chilli-con-carne and mango.

DD over cooked broccoli with butter and gravy

Foxeym · 14/07/2014 12:58

2 girls and a boy and ate pounds of raw carrots in all 3. They are have amazing night vision ;)

squizita · 14/07/2014 13:20

My cravings 'switched' at about 14 weeks from savoury to sweet. Like a light switch!
Before it was crisps and maize snacks.
After it was mocha and chocolate.

Scans are saying girl...

Dogsmom · 14/07/2014 20:36

Have a daughter, went off curry (would usually live on it if I could be bothered to cook it ), craved mcd's cheeseburgers and full fat cola, probably why I gained 5 stone!

Am 6 weeks pg again and have exactly the same cravings but fighting them as I've only been back in my size 12's for a month.

DragonFlyx · 14/07/2014 21:51

First pregnancy - Orange dilute, went through tons of the stuff, and watery fruit. Was having a girl.

I'm 7 weeks and I can't get enough of gravy! I'm having it with everything lately, never used to be a gravy fan either!
