Weirdest cravings? Just for fun

[rampantrose]

JUST FOR FUN! No idea how far gone I am (have midwife tomorrow!) But my cravings are going mental for really random things yet my nose can't even stand basic smells! What's the weirdest things you have craved? xxxxx

mine was chewing on tissues, and also licking sticks of chalk.

With my daughter it was salt and vinegar crisps stuck into a mars bar.
With my son it was cornflakes in milk with pickled onions and sugar.

A daffodil. I resisted and had an apple 🍎

Poppadoms and mango chutney. I remember crying in the supermarket because they didn't have the right brand of mango chutney

Not very weird, but warburtons crumpets covered in Lurpak! I ate that many, DD is pretty much 50% crumpet! Lol

Mentholyptus - I could've ate them night and day. Not strange, you might think, but years after this pregnancy by DM said "when I was pregnant with you, I craved these constantly", when I offered her one 😮

Smelling and chewing rubber bands!!!

Brick dust. I've fucked my teeth up and the looks from the dentist are

Petrol, and fire lighters. I actually asked DH if a nibble (of a fire lighter) would really be so bad. It's been so intense at times towards the end of this pregnancy it's made me really mad I can't have either.

Sparkling water and it had to be San Pelegrino, I could taste the difference and couldn’t drink any other brand.

The odd thing is I hated sparkling water prior to the pregnancy!

The craving has sort of stayed and I still only drink sparkling water, thankfully it’s any sparkling water now.

Bath sponges with 4 of mine.
With one of them i had to chew them with a specific shower gel on and warm water. Had to be warm. Can't have been good for me

With that baby I also craved polish and would spend most of my time polishing the entire house just for the smell. I really struggled not to lick the stuff off of the furniture.

Unfortunately the bath sponge thing hasn't quite gone away after my last baby... and she's 10 months old now

Mine was sponge too. I just loved chewing them, but they had to be the right type/texture - there were certain types that just didn't have the same chewability

1st pregnancy was cheese and apples. Really strong cheddar and sour apples.

2nd pregnancy was beetroot. Baby beetroot in jars. I would buy massive jars and they'd last an hour.

Raspberries while pregnant with my DDs. But I absolutely detest raspberries, the taste, the texture, the seeds & the way they make my mouth feel really dry. I ate loads of them I couldn't get enough of them I just had to have them. Thankfully the craving only lasted as long as the morning sickness.

I'm only 10 weeks so haven't had many, but I cannot get enough coleslaw right now. I bloody hate coleslaw usually but I'm eating it by the bucket!

Radox - Stress Relief bubble bath.
I would use a bottle every day. Run the bath and pour half in, sit smelling the rest and then wash my entire body with it.
I had to physically restrain myself from drinking it.

Bath sponges dipped in said Radox bath water. I'd suck the (clean!!!) bath water out of the sponge and chew for ages.
Rinse and repeat.

I had smell cravings. Creosote, tee trea oil, petrol. That sort of chemically harsh smell.

Kept a bottle of TT oil about my person for covert snorting and had to be bodily removed from newly rainproofed fencing.

I’m still not ready to talk about petrol stations

Cabbage!!
Which was ok, but it went hand in hand with a revulsion for chocolate (even a small bit made me throw up!! Sigh)

SleightOfMind that's exactly the same as me. TT oil has saved me from wanting to guzzle petrol (though I still want to do that)

Don't know if it's weird but I just wanted wendsleydake cheese with cranberries. I could eat blocks of it. I was pretty sick, so I'll let you fill in the blanks on how bad the next part was

Oh the sponge thing is amazing, so weird! But I am completely sympathetic, with my dd it was washing powder, Suft tropical to be exact. I’d smell:play with it all day long. Unfortunately 8 years later and I still adore it and want to eat it.... never have though.

Bacon and burgers, nearly cried at thought there might not be time to pop into McDonald's for breakfast yesterday before work, had to stop at a garage for a bacon sandwich to ensure I didn't miss out. (Normally don't like McDonald's much) Gone off chocolate too.

I'm 11 weeks and suffering from terrible 'morning' sickness. But when (if) I feel up to eating something I just can't get enough of Rustlers Burgers. Those microwavable things that I normally wouldn't eat. Oh god, they are amazing right now.

I have an actual problem with fizzy water right now. I feel anxious if i don't have a bottle in my hand and am easily getting through 8 bottles a day. I'd get through more if I could afford it. Poor environment : (

Apple juice 🍎 isn't exactly a weird craving, I just suddenly NEED a glass of it & nothing else will quench my thirst!

After months of hyperemesis my aversions have become cheese, quinoa, toast, beetroot, crackers, milk and any form of Chinese/Indian/Turkish take out. Even the sight of quinoa makes me wretch after a miserable experience at week 8 of pregnancy and I'm too nervous to try any of the others because of how ill they made me last time!
