I'm in love with orange anything (sweets, actual oranges, etc) but mostly fresh orange juice. If not orange then apples!

I'm 22 weeks.

Isn't it interesting to have so many people craving orange juice. I'm one of them too! I can't get enough orange juice, oranges, satsumas or clementines. Problem is, when I eat them I have to pick off every single little white thread before I eat them - it's driving my work colleagues nuts! They keep saying "just put it in your mouth and stop picking at it!" I even bought the orange scented fairy liquid at the weekend.

Same here! Bought a ton of satsumas and Cox apples in aldi the other day? Can't get enough of them!

Yep! And apples. 4 yesterday, I had to make myself stop!

God, no. The very smell of it makes me retch! I'm drinking a lot of milk...

Me too! It was oranges, lemons, anything sharp. And a much sweeter tooth than normal. I had a boy and he's not that fussed about sweet things so far.

My two are 11 and 8 now (both girls). With the first one, I went mad for orange everything, and pineapples. Couldn't get enough! With the second, I didn't fancy anything at all, and at one stage could only keep potato down.

During my first pregnancy, I also went berserk for ice cubes, and it never went away. I actually proceeded to crunch them for the next 10 years, until I developed a bit of a sensitive tooth at the back last year. Probably from all the ice crunching.

Wafflenose a craving for ice is a recognised symptom of anaemia. Have you been tested lately?

You are all so healthy!!

I am 19+5 and my craving has been curry... curry, chili, anything spicy!

I'm having a boy :)

Totally with you on the orange juice! Though then I drink too much of it and feel sick. With my other pregnancy I loved christmas dinners! It was christmas obviously but I had to have a christmas dinner every day!

When I was pregnant I worked next to a grocers and I used to stand staring at the piles of oranges I was obsessed, I used to eat piles of satsumas washed down with Fanta. I love tea but it used to make me heave when I was expecting

Yes yes yes! I had banned OJ from our house as we were all drinking too much over a year ago but now I'm 11 weeks with number 3 it's all I can think about, saw husband look at me with a smirk when he saw it in the fridge!! Think he'd been missing it!
I like the fresh cold taste. I've a horrible taste in my mouth and need to continuously eat to keep it away; I'll be massive at this rate!
