Absolutely no real food cravings yet...I have hg and food is basically YuCK! The only thing I do want and think about all the time is ICE! Yummy yummy ice! I love the feeling I get just crunching through it....could be to do with the fact that I'm damn thirsty and can't really keep down water but oooh Ice! I need it! I don't even want flavoured ice! Just plain crunchy ice. Yum!

Ice, pineapple and orange juice.

You should go get your iron levels checked. Craving ice is a sign of low iron.

I'm craving soil, foisty flannels and sponges, and ice.

Glad to see I'm not the only ice crazy pregnant lady! I figured it must be that rocker. I had same problem in last hg pregnancy too. Craved ice to satisfy thirst. will defo get levels checked soon when I feel up to leaving the house. Currently bed bound.

Soil??? Please tell me you don't actually eat it!

I'm craving sweet, juicy fruit like peaches, pineapple, grapes, nectarines, melon...I've never bought so much fruit in my life.

Junosmum · 19/09/2015 21:40

Nothing. Absolutely nothing. Not best pleased to be honest!

Sighing · 19/09/2015 21:46

NHK2: me too. I'm eating so much fruit I am concerned about the amount of sugar going in (though I am off chocolate, cake, biscuits, ice cream, so i suppose it's balanced out).

lostindubai · 19/09/2015 21:47

Hi Reebok how's it going? Smile Been thinking about you and wondering how you are.

I'm craving the end of the first trimester so that I can stop feeling rubbish all the time. Grin

Food wise, I seem to need crisps, chocolate, biscuits, all the bad stuff! And also apples, milk and baked potatoes.

RockerMummy184 · 19/09/2015 22:01

Haha. No, not actually eaten any yet (and only 2 weeks to go so hoping I can hang on and not give in to a spoonful!) I just sniff it and make my mouth water instead! Grin

applecatchers36 · 19/09/2015 22:03

Carbs, basically potatoes, pasta, pizza, crips not been a very healthy pregnancy so far trying to balance it out with vits & fruit but not really feeling the love for healthy stuff and it is all a bit of an effort.

Agree about wishing for end of this stage of pregnancy forgotten how rough you feel (HG ladies feel for you can't imagine)

Cheddar cheese here - I've had to go to the USA for a week long conference and packed some in my suitcase! It is currently in the ice bucket as the stupid hotel room doesn't have a minibar

Tobebythesea · 20/09/2015 21:10

Cheese here as well!

shoopshoopsong · 20/09/2015 21:15

I keep having dreams about food in general. In my dreams the other night I was at an all you can eat buffet and went up repeatedly. I dream about strawberries and cream with chocolate brownies, eggs benedict. HG means in real life no way going to try stomach any of that. Last pregnancy was the same except near the end I craved candy floss so was handy I live in a seaside town!

Reebok · 21/09/2015 13:04

shoop know what you mean about the food dreams! Same problem here.

dubai lovely to hear from you! Know what you mean about end of trimester! Cannot wait although doesn't guarantee end of sickness anyway. Still very unwell with hg...had a bit of a scare but baby is fine. How are you feeling?

another one for cheese - i bought a block of wensleydale on Friday and it has all gone!

TriJo · 21/09/2015 14:06

Salt! Fast food - particularly McDonalds and KFC.

tinyme135 · 21/09/2015 14:28

I keep having the urge to eat pickled onions, chippy chips smothered in salt and vinegar and prawn mayo sandwiches.

docmcstuffins1 · 21/09/2015 15:04

Cheese here too! I ate so much of it last night I had crazy cheese dreams!

mayaknew · 21/09/2015 15:07

I majorly craved ice with my last pregnancy . And ice lollies.

This time I'm craving salty food. Tortilla crisps and pistachios being top of my list.

BuggerLumpsAnnoyed · 22/09/2015 10:59

I've just come out of a healthy food phase which was lovely. Now all I want is a pot noodle and it's 11am

Autumn2014 · 22/09/2015 12:13

Hazelnut yoghurts
Cheese on toast
Tomato cup a soups
Lemon and barley squash
I've got horrible sickness and nausea morning and evening but a window of normality from 11 am - 3pm when I feel ravenous.
