Fanta fruit twist. I had a nightmare about the character from the adverts and then couldn't drink enough of it. I HATE it! I even thought about how much I hate the taste as I was glugging it down.

Last year, before I knew I was pregnant (only found out halfway through 2nd trimester!) I had such strong cravings for those yucky plastic cheese singles and steak pies. I remember actually crying in Asda when they had sold out of the steak pies I was after (very confusing as I had no idea why I was being so ridiculous at the time!)

Later on I couldn't eat enough strawberries (was getting through 2 large punnets a day at least, would have had more but they were too expensive) and also tinned plum tomatoes straight out the tin.

The only craving I had in either of my pregnancies was for pork scratchings! At the time, supermarkets didn’t sell them, and I couldn’t find any in our part of Scotland. So, on a visit home to England, my DH went into a pub and bought their entire stock, wall display, the lot, and triumphantly brought them back, so I had enough to last!
Luckily, they’re too salty to eat too many at once, so I was back to my pre-pregnant weight 5 days post delivery.

Greek salads and also mandarins for the first 20 weeks.

Now I've got a sweet tooth (after hating anything sweet pre-pregnancy).

Last night it was vanilla ice cream with crushed m&ms on top.

MrsCrumbtious · 06/06/2018 15:54

Mashed potatoes and gravy
Pork pies
Sour sweets
Chinese curry
Orange/lemon squash

DS1 it was the smell of new carpet. I used to go to Carpet Right on my lunch hour and just walk around sniffing the big rolls Blush until a DFriend managed to get hold of one of those sample books for me Grin

DS2 it was ice cubes and frozen peas
