So during my first pregnancy I severely craved chocolate and chips,cheese and gravy. My second pregnancy I only craved chocolate. I am in the midst of my third pregnancy at the moment but I'm not craving anything specific,in fact I've lost my appetite altogether. Was just curious to hear about all your cravings? (Mainly to see if anything takes my fancy!)

Cereal and beer!
I get through 2 large boxes of cereal a week and my DH has been buying me non alcoholic Becks beer to curb my craving for beer. Never been a beer drinker! I'm more a vodka and cocktails kinda girl!
My first trimester it was all about those two things and sweets! The sweet craving did die off eventually!

Ice cubes, ice pops, cold lilt

This is my first pregnancy. I'm now 19 weeks. Here's what I've been craving...

First trimester:
• Tropical fruit.. pineapple, mango, strawberries and fizzy fruity drinks like Rubicon. I hardly touch fizzy drinks normally.
• Cheese!
• Gherkins
• Garlic bread

Now 7 weeks into my 2nd trimester:
• Roast potatoes
• Pasta

Have really gone off coffee.

Soap!! 😩, I don't eat it... but I really want to 😳🤣. This is my 5th baby and I've had the same craving with all!

First pregnancy: none. Only aversions. Culminated in HG. Could finally eat without hurling in the third trimester but only beige food. Just the thought of meat made me ill (am not usually a vegetarian!).
Second pregnancy: craved olives mostly. Other than that I was fine. No aversions. Upchucked twice a day til 16w and then was fine.

With dd beer and olives. Ice lollies and anything bitter or cold.
This pregnancy. Food, any and all of the food. Shock

FluffyKittensinabasket · 15/08/2020 21:46

McDonalds

  • Bombay bad boy pot noodle
  • tinned tomatoes on toast with black pepper
  • plain jacket potato and butter

With my first pregnancy it was just cockles the whole time, and I didn’t have a single one because of the no shellfish rule!

IamChipmunk · 15/08/2020 21:55

With ds just food! Lots of any food. Although I was extremely partial to a pork pie, I wouldnt say it was a craving.

With dd, cheese and crisp sandwiches!
I had them for tea several times a week!! Any crisps would do and any cheese but the best was a nice mature cheddar and walkers ready salted!
She loves cheese and crisps! And loves to hear the story of me eating crisp sandwiches! (She is 4 so easily pleased 😄)

First trimester was all about sausages and lots of sausages. Second trimester was oranges, and now early third trimester it's oranges and McDonald's.. 😳 I am trying really hard to resist the latter, only gave in twice so far.

Bingobongo1 · 15/08/2020 22:15

Dc1 olives and potatoes.
Dt no cravings.

justoverthehorizon · 15/08/2020 22:20

ice cubes...I was anemic

user1464279374 · 15/08/2020 22:21

Both pregnancies: ice, endless ice!

Most recent pregnancy: McDonald's, Apple juice and rice with grated cheese...

Dollywilde · 15/08/2020 22:24

Chocolate. Which everyone around me has found hilarious as I’m notorious for hating sweet stuff - in the year before I got pregnant I dont think I ate any chocolate at all. We have a standing joke that on my birthday my friends have to find the most savoury thing they can to put candles in as I don’t eat cake Grin

nettytree · 15/08/2020 22:29

1st pregnancy, orange juice. Disgusting. Never drank it before or since. But I could down a whole litre in one go. 2nd time. Coke. But only the fountain stuff from mcds.

Doublechins · 16/08/2020 00:02

1st - Fanta orange
2nd - fabric softener 🙈
3rd - museli
4th - no cravings

AliSxo · 16/08/2020 00:12

So far ready salted crisps and sparkling water. Bland or what lol xx

belle365 · 16/08/2020 08:36

Pickled onions or anything with vinegar actually. I’ve really gone off meat too

Springawake · 16/08/2020 08:43

First pregnancy I craved sausages ,chips ,mushy peas and gravy used to have it every day for dinner for about 5 months 🤦‍♀️
Second pregnancy I craved raspberry slush puppie slushes
And this pregnancy I'm not craving anything I've literally lost my appetitive , the thought of everything knocks me sick and the smell of everything , forcing myself to eat 🤢

RiteAid · 16/08/2020 08:59

New potatoes, peas, salty things and spicy things!

MummaZ93 · 16/08/2020 09:07

Oh yeah the ice cube craving! I had that with baby 1,completely forgot! The crunching of the ice was so satisfying!

Tango pop and Heinz Spaghetti and sausages 😂

Thegirlhasnoname · 23/08/2020 21:10

Salt in my first pregnancy. Only 15 weeks in current one so not had too many cravings other than daim bars and seem to be starting on wanting salty things again. It does make me wonder if there is another girl cooking away in there!
