Craving Meat: vegetarian

[Naomi9313]

So I'm in the two week wait, got pregnancy symptoms the usual.. nausea, vomiting, tender breasts, heightened smell, headache, back ache, spotting and cramps.. but tonight I craved meat so bad and I'm a vegetarian.. wondering if this is a sign 🤷🏼‍♀️ has this happened to anyone else? What was the outcome

Happened to me! I curbed it with linda McCartney mozzarella burgers, quorn nuggets and oumph kebab 😂 xxx

A friend of mine who is staunchly vegetarian had a McDonald's Big Mac twice in her pregnancy.

@Amelia910 I curbed mine with a chicken sandwich.. awful I know 😂

@Blueuggboots it's mad isn't it what our body's do! She must have needed it 🤷🏼‍♀️

Me. I’m 20 weeks now and had meat since around 6 weeks. I have times where I don’t fancy meat at all but I wanted it so badly and went off all fake meat so I just gave in. Was delicious 😂

I'm 5 + 3 weeks pregnant and I've been vegetarian for 18 years haven't had any meat cravings yet just curious to see if it would happen to me generally I don't like the taste or texture of meat but I find it fascinating how your body changes so much just from different hormones haha

@bobble53 it just came on so strong today, I had chicken and stuffing it was soo good 😂 I thought I'd feel awful but I don't ha. Just to wait anouther week now see if it's a good sign ha x

@emmab96 one day I just went off all meat then started to look in to it and decided ethically I'd not eat meat and it completely changed how I looked at meat even just looking at raw meat on the shopping trips but today it's all I wanted. It's so weird x

vegetarian **now obsessed with beef and only 4 weeks!

@Keyboard91 I wonder if you all go back to not eating meat when babies are here.. enjoy it your body must need it x

I'm not veggie but don't eat red meat and like everything well cooked. I had massive cravings for meat in early pregnancy with DD1. Turned out I was anaemic and needed to take iron tablets.

With 2nd I took iron from the start and had no cravings at all.

I craved liver when pregnant, presumably because of the iron content. Pregnancy cravings are so weird, and completely irresistible!

I was vegetarian for 20 years till I got pregnant and demanded my partner take me to a pub so I could have a mixed grill. The waitress came over and put the mixed grill o front of him, and his order of fish in-front of me and I felt stabby.

I'm a meat eater but during my pregnancy went off meat 😂

I’m a vegetarian and I’ve really craved meat this pregnancy, I haven’t gave in yet though
