Didn't get cravings, got anti-cravings instead - and from pretty early on (but not before my pg test, I don't think).
My anti-craving was for chocolate, which I normally inhale in quite large quantities - but with both boys, I went really off it for the first 14w. Actually it was the best predictor of sticky pgs - the 3 MCs I had between the boys, I didn't go off chocolate at all. DS2 - bang - off it within a couple of weeks.

Never had any cravings. Strangely it seems to be the first thing people ask pregnant women 'Have you had any weird cravings?', but I've not actually met any pregnant women who have had any cravings. I went off loads of food from around 6 weeks, and there were only a few things I could face - like salty crisps, but I wouldn't have said that it was really a craving - more of a survival.

I'm with missingcaffeine, salt 'n' vinegar crisps have been a godsend! I went off meat from quite early on, but don't know if it was just when I was feeling queasy. Still can't look at ham or chicken or pepperoni... Only just gone back on chocolate. Thank goodness!

I've gone off sweet potato, which I normally love, thanks to my weird pregnancy senses it tastes sickly and overly-sweet. Instead I'm having intense cravings for regular potato, might be because Autumn is coming and I need stodge!
