Chocolate and orange juice!

I craved a lot of things before pregnancy anyway (especially anything sweet) haha so I’m not sure If my cravings are pregnancy cravings or normal cravings!

mumof1babe · 01/05/2020 10:31

Really sour sweets and the smell of flash bathroom cleaner.

@lockdownpregnancy omg thank you, this is lifesaving news!!

Cherryrainbow · 01/05/2020 11:53

Marmite pasta

pollysproggle · 01/05/2020 12:41

Same as my last pregnancy- apples. I could eat 6 at a time but now have GD so can only have 1.
Also cannot stop thinking about a pastry that you can only buy in Malta or make yourself but it's a long process.
If there were a Maltese bakery anywhere in the country I would literally say f**k the lockdown and drive 100 miles to get them!

Mine is anything that we dont have in the house at the moment Grin. Currently on full lockdown as I have my 20w scan on Wednesday and dont want anything to happen to jeopardise me going. Once we've had that I have a list of things I want DH to go and buy. Salt & vinegar crisps, twiglets, lilt, cupcakes with loads of frosting......

Meadows20 · 01/05/2020 12:51

A bloody McDonalds...I'm desperate for chicken nuggets and curry sauce!

lockdownpregnancy · 01/05/2020 13:06

@Meadows20 I'm all over a Maccy's breakfast when it reopens! I'll be downloading the Uber eats app for that one!!!

MonaLisaDoesntSmile · 01/05/2020 13:59

I only had two in both pregnancies, herrings and wine. I don't even drink usually. The moment babies came out, finished.

Hi all 🙂, recently just found out we are expecting completely in a wee buzz bubble about it all. Have my first midwife appointment on the 19th May. Was just wondering if anyone could help answer this for me though, am roughly 5 weeks going by a clearblue I took, I'm having real notions and cravings for Lilt (a fizzy tropical juice) just wondering if to much fizzy juice can effect baby this early on, it's literally all I think about 😂🤦🏽‍♀️!!

Thanks in advance

New mama to be 🥰!

I really, really want a Mac Donald’s chocolate milkshake. Can’t believe they are reopening soon but taken this off the menu!
Was craving pick and mix last week. Went online and ended up spending about £30 on sweets! Should keep me going for a while.
Also really loving iced water and ice lollies.

lockdownpregnancy · 03/05/2020 17:00

@TobysMum16 did you know we can't have Maccys milkshake or McFlurrys!
It's because the milk isn't pasteurised!
When my midwife told me I was devastated!

TobysMum16 · 03/05/2020 19:00

@lockdownpregnancy Wow - are you sure? Drank loads with my little boy. Doesn’t seem to have done him any harm! Confused

TobysMum16 · 03/05/2020 19:03

@lockdownpregnancy Just checked on Maccys website. Says in UK milk is definitely pasteurised!

lockdownpregnancy · 03/05/2020 19:34

@TobysMum16 this means my midwife told me a fib!!! 😱😱😱
I've been deprived for 3 months! 😭😭😭
I think I'm even more devastated! 😝

loubert89 · 03/05/2020 21:10

I've had more aversions that have stuck with me, such as curry and spaghetti Bolognese. For cravings I've had burgers and refreshers.

mumof1babe · 04/05/2020 13:03

@TobysMum16 @lockdownpregnancy I've been wishing I could eat McDonalds ice cream for this whole pregnancy but my midwife told me no because of the machine that's used with a filter that cant be cleaned properly and risk of bacteria but she didnt mention anything about it being the milk... how many fibs have we been told 😂

lockdownpregnancy · 04/05/2020 13:18

@mumof1babe I was also told no steak unless it's cooked well and there is no pink!
I mean what's the point in having a steak if it's not medium rare!
I pretty much threw a tiny tantrum in front of my MW and she just laughed!
I LOVE steak and all I want to eat now I steak! First thing that's going down my neck once baby arrives! 😝

peachesancream · 04/05/2020 13:24

@TobysMum16 oh no I'm craving a milkshake too, I never have them normally but same with my first pregnancy I always really fancied a McDonald's choc milkshake!

sunnygirl123 · 04/05/2020 13:29

Definitely agree with McDonald’s, it’s made worse coz we can’t have it! When it opens again I’m sending OH down, I don’t care how long the queue is lol

mumof1babe · 04/05/2020 14:00

@lockdownpregnancy haha this made me lol, always seems to be the things we arent supposed to eat that we crave! And yes I totally agree about the steak... no point unless it's nice and pink! That steak will be the best one you've ever had when you eventually get to eat it 😂

lockdownpregnancy · 04/05/2020 16:38

@mumof1babe I'm off to Miller & Carter when baby arrives! Hubby can treat me for birthing his child! 😂😂

Siobhan1989 · 04/05/2020 16:55

Mine is spicy Indian curries and squishy naan breads, anything crunchy (and if it’s salty even better), potatoes and oranges 😅 been the same all the way through. I’m 31 weeks

sel2223 · 04/05/2020 17:03

@Siobhan1989 I'm really craving a spicy Indian curry but having such bad heartburn at the minute, it's putting me off ordering.
