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.

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 😂

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!!!

Ohyesyoudid · 04/02/2020 20:59

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

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!

Dollywilde · 04/02/2020 21:02

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

TinyPop14 · 04/02/2020 22:28

Louloudia1 · 04/02/2020 22:37

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

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

IslayBrigid · 05/02/2020 08:05

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
