First pregnancy wanted avocado and chocolate spread and definitely no red meat - had a girl.
Second pregnancy wanted orange juice and fruity sweets - had a boy.

This time - orange juice and chocolate. My money is on a boy.

Fruit (I ate so many fruit salads in place of actual meals)... and Haribo sweets! I had a boy.

Dd1 no cravings, dd2 ready salted crisps, chips. Ds1 chips, salad, fizzy sweets and really gone off meat

PrimalLass · 26/05/2015 08:04

First time - crisps, cheese, chips, supernoodles = boy
Second time - fruit, sweet things, fizzy juice = girl

Always been a savoury girl, no hint of a sweet tooth. Only 2 times I have ever craved sweet things have been both pregnancies. Both girls.

Purpleflamingos · 26/05/2015 08:11

Salt and vinegar crisps - boy
Smokey bacon crisps - girl
Fruit and milk - both.
Nothing to distinguish between boy and girl in my case.

cosmicglittergirl · 26/05/2015 08:12

Only have girls, both pregnancies I are LOADS of sweets and Malteasers. I don't normally.

chairmeoh · 26/05/2015 08:14

Copella Apple juice (nothing else would do) = girl

BeeHappyAndSmile · 26/05/2015 08:20

lots of savoury and salty stuff - girl
lots of sweet stuff - boy
lots of savoury and salty stuff - boy

Cgow · 26/05/2015 08:39

Orange juice, ice cream.. In fact anything sweet and in having a girl I'm usually a massive savoury person
My friend was salty meaty things such as beef tacos (random)
Weirdly enough we both had a odd craving for the smell of clean linen air freshener or generally the smell of clean linen .. Wink

Strawberry everything. Milkshakes, ice cream, fresh strawberries, etc. Girl.

Also had this really weird thing where I craved food I read about. Character in a novel eats toasted cheese sandwich - I had to have one immediately.

DD: Fruit juice. Peanut butter.
DS1: Fish. Aversion to dairy. (turns out he was intolerant)
DS2: Avocado.

MrsGentlyBenevolent · 26/05/2015 21:25

I've wanted nothing but cheese and marmite, served with a cold, cold drink. I'm having a boy.

Also been having aversion to 'greasey food', which means I can't face pizza or pastry type food like pies. Found that quite odd!

Copella Apple juice (nothing else would do) = girl

Mine was pink grapefruit juice. I usually hate it.

IriwkaPK · 28/05/2015 07:56

Cheese, sweet tomatoes, all sort of sweets - according to my 2nd scan will have a baby girl ;)

Beckahjane · 28/05/2015 08:01

1st pregnancy : pickled onions, vinegar on everything..
Couldn't stand chocolate .. BOY
2nd pregnancy : juicy chicken (matte sons fridge Raiders roast chicken), chocolatey stuff, strawberries and other fruit. .. Don't know what it is yet.

Amyyy27 · 28/05/2015 08:38

Interesting thread! We find out in 2 weeks and are leaning more towards thinking it's a boy...

Huge aversion to chocolate, most other sweet things, coffee and tea.

When I can eat I only want salty savoury foods. Especially beefy crisps!

RockerMummy184 · 28/05/2015 09:12

1st - no real "cravings" but loved pizza, curry and Dr Pepper - had a boy
2nd - broccoli, mange tout, green beans, steak, spinach, kale - no idea on sex yet, but turns out it's twins and I have a serious iron deficiency! Grin

Passthecake30 · 28/05/2015 09:17

Son- cheese by the packet load and milk

Daughter - coke, butterkist, haribos, cheap flimsy ham and an aversion to carrots. She now loves sweets more than her brother and meat of all kind and refuses to eat raw carrots. ..if I'd known the impact I think I wouldve tried to hold back a bit on the sugarGrin

TelephoneIgnoringMachine · 28/05/2015 09:56

Meat. Then vinegar. (I normally hate meat) Had a girl. She loves meat too.

Strangely, my mum went completely off meat when she was pg with me, she couldn't even walk past the butchers without feeling sick. She went off spicy food with Dsis - who hated spicy food as a child.

Snowflake15 · 28/05/2015 10:01

I definitely conform to the savory cravings = boy... I used to be a chocoholic now couldn't care less Grin

Moondancer146 · 28/05/2015 16:24

Dd1 - tomato sauce on everything, chocolate
Ds - bread, cheese, orange juice
Dd2 - strawberry milkshake
Dd3 - lemons, salt & vinegar crisps, fruity sweets
With dd3 I had severe hg and these were the only things I could keep down. I haven't been able to eat tomato sauce since dd1 was born

ch1134 · 29/05/2015 06:42

Fruit - boy
Carbs, meat and chocolate - unknown (but anaemic).
