Cravings

[laurenmarie88]

I'm eating so much chocolate it's untrue, pretty sure it's all in my head prob far to early to crave anything but I feel I am! And juice to of I don't eat I feel sick lol I'm going to be the size of a house xx anyone else crave early on ?

All I want is spicy food at the moment

I'm 35 weeks and crave the smell of dirty potatoes . Honestly its so bad I have to resist the temptation to have a sniff in supermarkets.

Radishes and musty washing machines!!

A need sour sweets, fresh pineapple and Tropicana orange juice. My teeth are going rot and fall out at this rate 😣

Haha anything sweet for me TBH lol or just wanting to eat all the time which isn't good

Ice. It's all I want to eat! The crunch is absolutely amazing. 😁

I craved sponges with my last pregnancy haha

Jodie1982 Craving ice can be a sign of having low iron levels, aka anaemia. Have you been tested by your midwife for it yet?

My worst for cravings was around 9 weeks, I NEEDED oranges, lemons and salt and vinegar crisps. I took a phase then of wanting dairy, ice cream, cheese etc. Haven't had any big cravings in a while now.

Ice, ice & more ice.
ICE!!!!!!

I lived on salt and vinegar squares when I was going through sickness. Only thing I could keep down oh and snack wraps from McDonalds

I'm not that that stage in this pregnant yet but in my last 2 I majorly craved tissue, I ate loads of it! Both times it meant I was anemic, so after a good few weeks on the strong iron tablets it faded but it tasted so good at the time haha

Haha not heard of tissue one before but there are other strange Ines it's mental haha.... mine seems to be sweet ATM

Anything spicy and / or salty up until about 20 weeks and now anything sweet (34 weeks) x

Another one for citrus, especially pineapple juice.

Yeah do cravings have meanings ?

I think they do have meanings, I ran out of my pregnancy vitamins and had a desperate need for radishes and would eat piles and piles of them for weeks on end. I found out that they're full of Folic Acid!!

Ive recently been through a seaweed stage and have been buying pack of seaweed sheets and gobbling them all up in one go! They're one of the only foods with such high iodine levels which helps baby's brain development.

The body is amazing!

Im not sure why in the first trimester I could only eat non foods with zero nutrients like coco pops, pot noodles, pasta meals that you add water to and have that sort of "cheese and broccoli" powder on???

I'm loving pot noodles lol you having boy or girl ?

I asked dh to buy me a bag of potatoes last night when he went for electric. I nearly cried when he came home without any

Did you send him back for them hehe bet he felt bad or was the shop sold out xx

He said they didn't have any suitable. He bought me some loose ones today but they don't smell . The best ones are a little sealed bag of new potatoes, I open the corner and have a sniff

I am now gagging for a glass of pineapple juice with a lemon squeezed in.

My DD it was soap. It had to be Shield Blue soap (she's 20 now) and I did eat it.

I also spent at least half an hour every supermarket shop sniffing the toiletry isle.

My midwife laughed at me and said, you'll be telling me you've got a bar in your handbag next.

I showed it to her, complete with teeth marks

Haha with my first pregnancy I was chewing and sucking water out of sponges I couldn't stop it was baaaad haha and now I'm enjoying beans and cheese lol it's mad what we crave xx they have meanings to I think
