I am sorry this has probably been done a hundred times before but it is 7.20 am and I really fancy a glass of cold ginger beer. Crazy I have had loads of indigestion but there you are.

I almost cried in Sainsburys on Sunday because I couldn't find bread pudding and had to make do with bread and butter pudding instead (hmmmm!)

Walnut bread at the moment. Mmm.

Melon, mango and lots and lots of cold green grapes.

Right now I also want noodle soup.

Think it's a bit early for cravings - everything just makes me want to hurl and fresh, cold, tropical fruit doesn't.

this being my first pg, i was dead excited about having cravings for something, anything but... nowt, nothing. Contemplated making something up but couldn't come up with anything that i would like to have more of, so dissapointing

Iv'e been having cravings for beef Hula Hoops and original Lucozade since I was about 16 weeks and there still going strong ulthough I'm trying to avoid the Lucozade as much as possible.
Last week I had a craving for chicken kebab(at 1.30am) so sent my poor fiance out to get it,I also had cravings for steamed cabbage that's come and gone.(It tasted like old socks before I was Preg,I loved it for about a month and now it tastes like socks again :P)

only 18 weeks, so only craving is for

LOTS MORE OF EVERYTHING.

never had much of an appetite, but have quickly turned into a two lunches, curry for dinner and 4 rounds of toast after

other day (only a one-lunch day, admittedly) i loved the kit kat and crisps i'd bought for my tube back from work. got off tube at victoria and straigh to little shop for samosa and revels, walked to other side of victoria to catch train. had to wait ten minutes, so had time to buy jumbo bag of m&ms...

saying that, for the first four weeks before i knew, all i wanted for lunch were caesar salads and ate them non-stop.

was eating so many, it made more sense to bulk buy the ingredients rather than by them pre-made.

was only when i was chopping the lettuce (rommaine?) after finding out i was pg that i noticed a thing on the bag saying "an excellent source of folic acid"

me being me LOVES to think my body was craving what it needed
....

I have craved anything cola flavoured - the drink (must be diet), cola bottles, cola lollies. DH has been sent out many times as I have run out of diet coke.

sorry Jarm - thought you were craving ice cream and bacon sandwiches! Had to read your reply again before laughing at myself for having pregnancy brain!
