I do already have a DS and DD.
But they are both primary school age now so I can't quite remember!

What cravings did you have (sweet/savoury) and what gender?

I went mental for pickled onion monster munch and salt n vinegar sticks with DS. But I also had a huge craving one night for pancakes - I threatened to kill my OH haha!!

But I can't really remember with DD. I wanted to suck on flannels towards the end, but I can't remember food wise!

With my first a girl I craved milk. Now pregnant with my second a boy my cravings have been ice cream/ ice lollies.

Also interested in this... when I had DS all I wanted in the first trimester was salted crisps and savoury things. Currently pregnant and those make me sick and all I can eat is biscuits and haribo! Everyone thinks it's a girl this time... but 5 months till it arrives and we find out! Would be interested to see what others experience of this is. Everything else is pregnancy is quite similar, but what I can / want to eat has been total opposite.

I used to want really hot spicy food with my son. The hotter the better - if it didn't hurt my mouth I wasn't interested! I also went off pesto which I usually love - the smell of it made me ill 😷 I'm not craving anything with this one and it's a girl. I'm definitely eating a lot healthier but that isn't hard as my diet was appaulling with the first!

Also with this baby I went through a stage of wanting and eating lots of ham rolls 😂

Thecomfortador · 13/09/2017 14:39

First time round I ate an enormous amount of haribo and mars / twix bars. And BLT sandwiches. Couldn't eat curry. Had ds. This time so far I can manage a madras, and don't think I'm craving the sweets as much. But it's early days yet...

Sweet things for DD2

I loved salt popcorn with my first daughter.

Chips and curry, salt popcorn & diet cola with second daughter.

Went off so much this time round, went off meats, chicken, sausage etc. Chocolate seems to be getting me through this pregnancy - carrying boy.

With both my Boys I craved monster munch crisps, spicy food, pineapple, spag Bol, soup with bread rolls, cheese, fish and chips with spagetthi, and butter on toast. But I'm currently having baby no3 and craving curry sauce and chips, chow mein, chewy sweets, McDonald's mc chicken sanwich, Sunday roast dinners, cream cakes and ice lollys.. I currently don't no what I'm having, but find out in 5 weeks! X

Expectingbsbunumber2 · 13/09/2017 19:56

@Roxx1516 you have now made me very hungry 😂😂

missmouse101 · 13/09/2017 19:58

Craved crunching on ice cubes with my daughter, and chocolate milkshakes and tinned grapefruit (not together!) with my son! Went off coleslaw with both of them!

Roxx1516 · 13/09/2017 20:03

silkybear · 13/09/2017 20:13

Livingondaisland24 · 13/09/2017 20:17

Bacon rolls - boy!

Expectingbsbunumber2 · 13/09/2017 20:23

@Roxx1516 it was the chips and curry sauce that's done it for me 😂 Oh but a mc chicken sand which so good

Roxx1516 · 13/09/2017 21:49

Expectingbsbunumber2 · 13/09/2017 22:17

That's so annoying that!

Sallywiththegoodhurrr · 14/09/2017 06:29

With my first and second I really went off anything greasy and craved chocolate and prawn cocktail crisps.

With my first I craved dominos pizza and kebabs.

With this pregnancy I crave cucumber and dip and other fresh things. I've gone off greasy things and takeaways.

I have 3 girls, twins this time but don't know the sex

Sallywiththegoodhurrr · 14/09/2017 06:30

With my second I craved dominos pizza 👆🏻

Sallywiththegoodhurrr · 14/09/2017 06:30

Oh lord... THIRD, with my THIRD!

velocitygir1 · 14/09/2017 06:40

With ds1 it was chicken and mushroom pies-I was a vegetarian at the time and had been for 6 years Hmm

Dd1 was pineapple and peanut butter & banana on toast (her fave thing now!) 😂

Ds2 was wine gums, wine gums and more wine gums...I can't stand them now and the smell makes me nauseous. Son doesn't like them either.

SuperBeagle · 14/09/2017 06:45

DS1 was Vegemite and strawberries (not together, but wouldn't have complained).

DS2 was plain milk chocolate and Kit-Kats.

DD1 was everything carby. Pasta, garlic bread, pizza, chips, bread etc. I felt like I was constantly starving to death with her.

DD2 was specifically Milo ice cream with Maltesers and mini M&Ms from Cold Rock.

So, meaningless, basically. Grin

Roxx1516 · 14/09/2017 13:59

😂 super beagle the bit you have wrote for your first daughter sounds just like me too, I feel like I'm going to starve to death, I get such bad hunger pains x
