Hi everyone Im currently in my first trimester of my pregnancy (first baby), and i just can't get enough of salty foods like crisps and chicken, so strange haha 
I was talking to my DM about it and she seems to think it means that you are having a boy, maybe a old wives tale or something lol
Just wondering what everyone else (if you did) had cravings for?
How long does this last for? (Not been pregnant before so still learning 😀)

Salty stuff for me too. I have lived on salty crisps and chips! Also cheese.

I’m having a boy and my sister says she was the same with all her boys!

I'm the same right now! All I want is spicy chicken pizza, chicken noodles, or a KFC dirty Louisiana burger. I'm about 8 weeks with DC3.

My other 2 are girls. Withe the first I wanted fish, ham, mushrooms, seeds and dried fruit. With my second it was sweets, Mars bars, noodles and mushrooms again.

I was the same in the first tri... but I'm having a girl 😬

I wanted more sweets than savoury or salty - having a boy.

I went on a sugar binge whilst pregnant - I could quite easily and happily eat an entire chocolate cheesecake daily.

I had a boy

First trimester that's all I could eat! I'm now 25 weeks and having a little girl. I could literally only stand salty crackers and carb ANYTHING dry!
