Cravings

[DetentionGrrrl]

What cravings have you had?

When i was pregnant with DS i wanted mullerice (vanilla) and also twix chocolate (not together).

I'm only just pregnant, but all i want is Beanfeast (it's a veggie thing) and i haven't been veggie for years.

Jessica - POTATOES - any shape or form, but preferably roast!

Rebecca - Chicken Fajitas - not with all the stuff, just the chicken cooked in the seasoning!

Trying for number 3 at present, so will let you know!

DD - licorice allsorts

DS - melons

Current Bump - no distinct cravings but early on I would only eat potatoes and now, at 25 weeks, I seem to be developing a fondness for creme eggs!

on all 3 I had to have ice in my drinks (even in the winter) and crunch the ice

McDonalds sundaes and McFlurrys!! I'm a veggie and hate McDonalds and never go there, but apparently my body needs their crappy ice cream! Oh and donuts! And cheese! I wish it were salad and celery !!

DD - home made rice pudding

DS - ice, used to eat pints of the stuff

DS - orange mr men lollies, sausage & mash with tonnes of bisto (used to drink the bisto on it's own!) and lilt.

DD - All of the above but also salt & vinegar square crisps and Reese's buttercups - once spent 2 hours driving around on a Sunday afternoon looking for a shop that sold them!

Only 7+4 with this one so will wait to see but I know I've gone off all sweet stuff and only want savoury foods.

DS - Cheese & Salami

DD - Sparkling mineral water

This time, no cravings at all, so I am waiting.....

have gone right off tea already. With DS i went right off fruit for months- the thought of eating a banana made me want to be sick!

Currently I could kill for sardines on toast, broad beans, and tomato juice with lashings of Lea & Perrins sauce.
Mmmmmmmmmmmmmm.

cheese and tomatos (hate them) sparkling h2o and i drank warm vinegar

Warm vinegar??? Was that a desperate substitute for wine?
Ewwwwwwwwww, did it not give you an upset stomach?

no, i was ba restaurant manager and in the morning id get a mug, half fill it with vinegar then top it up with hot water. it was bizarre. later on i also craved choc ice-cream but dh didnt believe me

poached eggs - it was deffo the vinegar

When do cravings really set in? Is it more towards the end of pregnancy? It's just at 28+2 I still haven't really had any, mind I know some people don't really get them do they. I have wanted lots of ice lollies though, lemonade flavour was my fav but am now enjoying fabs and twisterts instead. I'm such a child!!!

I went through a phase a couple of weeks ago of eating two huge oranges a day. I couldn't get enough of anything with vitamin c in it.... now I'm craving salt and vinegar crisps daily! Very hard not to give in, so today I went to the gym for an hour so I could give in to the crisp craving!

hollyandalice - I hate to say it but my cravings were for salad and celery!

Another one here for oranges - and raw carrots too, both in the same pregnancy. Last 2 pregnancies I didn't crave anything.

I recently met my first 'coal eater'. It's 5 years since her last pregnancy and she still says she eyes up other peoples coal scuttles!!

I had a friend that had a craving for jaffa cakes and pickled onions - TOGETHER! My god why?! Don't think she can stand the sight of either anymore at the memories of eating them! HAHAHA

I have jsut found out I am pregnant with our second child, I have so far been craving anything with tomatoes in it, and crinkled ready salted crisps - just can't get enough of the crunchy texture!!!!!

i ate 7 crispy pancakes yesterday
