Craving orange juice is too much bad for you? I can drink cartons and gallons of this stuff - 29 weeks pregnant too

It's the high sugar content that's not great for you, I love orange juice (pregnant or not!) and mix it with sparkling water to dilute it which makes it really refreshing and less sugar! X

I've been wanting it first thing in the morning instead of my usual cuppa.... water just doesn't cut it!

I must have drank about a litre of this stuff every other day for weeks on an off with dd. It was the only thing that seemed to quench the constant thirst! Didn't help needing to pee every two minutes though....

I am 19 weeks and also craving orange juice constantly! It’s literally the only thing that hits the spot. I have had awful sickness so I’m not worrying too much about it, I’m just glad I’m getting something down and keeping it down.

Our fridge has about 8 cartons of the stuff in...

Good effort @SoyDora - my Tesco delivery is due in the morning....

I have this too! Can't get enough of the stuff! Yummy cold OJ. I always liked it before I was pregnant but now I love it.

I'm also finding I'm craving the concentrate juice rather than freshly squeezed. More tangy. Loving Aldi basics range from concentrate for some reason

I was orange juice with DS. I'm on the Apple juice this time!

If you're going to drink lots of OJ, take your iron supplements with it to boost absorbency!!

Which my craving had been OJ, mine was full fat coke, ice cold from a can (not bottles weirdly). My DH used to limit me to a couple of swigs then drink the rest himself Halo

It's great for you, helps you absorb your vitamins, iron in particular. Your levels might have dipped and that's why you're craving it.
