Weetabix during pregnancy

[Jaydemeehan33]

Hi guys, anyone else craving weetabix during pregnancy? I used to eat them but always had sugar with them, now I don't have any sugar with them at all as I feel it's healthier.. Anyone else been cravingggg them like crazy? How healthy are they??

I mean, they're over 95% wheat so they're a fairly clean healthy food to crave. Cereals also have folic acid in so win win.

A long long time ago, my pregnancy craving was Horlicks. I wondered if it was the cereal / malty taste? Can't stand it now.

Mine was cake and jacket potatoes. Weetabix isn't too bad is it.

Yes craved some this morning with ice cold milk , first time I’ve wanted to eat in weeks !

Aw no way, win win is right! 😝

Yeah this is the only thing I've craved apart from chocolate omg.. Chocolate 🤤 aw no way you having morning sickness? ( more like all day sickness) I'm so lucky I only had 1 week of sickness at the start and I'm 30 weeks now!

I've been at the fruit at fibre but now you mention it... Weetabix mmmm. Hadn't eaten breakfast cereal for years before this

Also been loving the Horlicks/Ovaltine

I've always been a cereal lover 😍 especially coco pops 🤩🤩

I was addicted to crunchy nut clusters!! They were just sugar and some chocolate 😂! Was sent to be tested for gestational diabetes 4 times as I always ate a bowl before midwife appointment 😂

Omg no way I love them to there so nice! Don't eat them a lot tho.. Aw really you didn't have GD then I assume??

I've also rediscovered a love of cereal for first time in years! I hoovered up a box of wheetabix when I was about 6/7 weeks, then moved on to special k, also have cornflakes! There's just something about cereal and cold milk ...

I ploughed through a fair amount of chocolate weetabix when I was preg with DS last year. Reckon I kept them in business!!!

I craved cream, custard, ice cream, yoghurt and milkshakes
Basically any dairy products!

Omg I'm loving these stories, pregnancy is pretty crazy lol 😝 also loving chips to... Ugh yum

I craved muesli when pregnant with ds3 - so ridiculous - I used to wake up thinking about my first bowl and then look forward to being able to having a bowl when I got home from work. With my other pregnancies it was any sugary carbs especially doughnuts!!! Much more sensible!

This is so weird, I’ve been obsessed with shreddies and milk since about 10 weeks! Not just me then!

Oh I've such a sweet tooth it's a joke lol my poor baby boy gets fed lots of sugar 🤣 also lots of fruit aswell 😍 definitely not just you hun! There's a big gang of us 😂

I have found they really help with the constipation too so win win

I crave bran flakes and banana with freezing cold milk, I have it every morning.

Yes! Wheetabix is bliss in pregnancy. 9months later and it's gruel again

Thanks for the replies, love hearing what others have to say! 🤩

Toast and tea is still making me sick (20wks) but give me cereal and cold milk? That's gone and not coming back.

So interesting how much everyone loved cereal in pregnancy! I used to be a toast, granola or porridge kinda girl and I do still sometimes want that but nothing beats special k at the moment. Except maybe Weetabix
