What food makes you happy at the moment?

I am 10+3 and feel a constant nagging nausea. Despite this my brain keeps telling me that eating will make me feel better. I seem to spend ages every day looking in the fridge and cupboards for something to take my fancy and often end up with marmite on toast or scrambled eggs on toast.

When I do find something I REALLY fancy, I get quite excited . At the moment I love granola with chopped banana and Greek yogurt. This is quite good for me as in previous pregnancies I had a hankering for hot sausage rolls!

What everyone else is enjoying at the moment? I am hoping it might give me some inspiration?

God, bloody nothing. Everything makes me feel sick. But not eating makes it worse. I want to love food again!! I don't remember it being this bad first time round. Only thing I'm completely fine with is orange Lucozade. Probably should ingest more than that though...

I have hyperemesis so struggling daily to find things I can keep down let alone like to eat. Pineapple ice lollies seem to help.

You do have my sympathies Cloud and Reebok. I can't imagine how awful that must feel. Just going about the day in a normal way must be so hard. I really hope it gets better for you soon.

There definitely seems to be a carbs (especially potato), cheese and (if you are lucky) fruit theme. I really struggled with the thought of eating cheese but have started eating a bit again. I do like cheese on toast though.

I was naughty today as I bought a sandwich form M&S rather than making one. It was Coronation chicken and was just what I needed. Now stuffing my face with grapes again. Are too many grapes bad for you?

It's porridge for me, it's all I want to eat, that and cheese.... Am now combining the two in my head... That would be wrong wouldn't it...?

I am not the person to ask that question Lou13e as I have always struggled with porridge even though I know it is so good for you. The only porridge I can happily eat and haven't tried since pregnant is Dorset cereals porridge with dried raspberries and pumpkin seeds in it. It is really lovely. If I make flapjacks I often substitute some of the plain oats for a couple of sachets of this and they are delicious as long as I don't burn them!

Loved fizzy sweets in first trimester. Now 34+1 and it's all about the chocolate shreddies. I have the plain ones in work though which are good but not quite the same.

tiggery I've found tesco sour strawberry laces really hit the spot. Also sainsbury's fizzy fangs are pretty good.

I'm craving sherbet fountains 24/7
