Just interested Smile

Mine have been icelollies which I think is fairly common and the fruit salad flavour chewitts (?!) 😂 Unfortunately only one shop in our town sells them so I keep sending DH there to grab like the whole box when they come in.

Oh and hiding them from the kids of course because NO ONE is getting their mitts on my chewitts 😂

Mine seem to change every couple of days, and I go off the thing I’d been craving before! Right now, it’s smoked salmon and Boursin cheese. I woke up thinking about it this morning. Blush

DogsAreBetterThanPeopleK · 03/12/2020 11:49

Oh Boursin!!! Yes. I could have that, thanks 😁 I am a big garlic fan at the moment! Garlic bread for breakfast a couple of times haha.

Mine differ too sometimes more like I'll think I couldn't possibly eat anything and then someone will mention something and I'll think.... Hmm actually 😂

But the lollies and chewitts have remained my constant throughout!

Oh my. I had a few... Prawn cocktail crisp with jacket potato and cheese. Usually at 3am. My oh would tut as I'd eat it in bed, so I crunched harder on the crisps 😂. Childish, I know. Then lumps of cheese. With my 3rd dc, I loved and couldn't get enough of chips, chocolate and sweets. I ate chips the whole day. I had jars of sweets and boxes of chocolates on my bedside table. That was for when I would wake up at 3am and not be able to sleep til 7am again.

Mine was Wine gums. I was not a fan before, nor after. I needed to keep buying several big bags because my husband kept eating them. I also recall walking into a customers board meeting with a big bag in my hand and then sitting eating them, and apologising because I couldn’t get through the day without. It was all blokes and they found it amusing.

I went off Mayo, like even the sight of it made me nauseous. Loved it before and after, slather it on everything, but the sheer sight of Mayo made me sick to my stomach.

Mine seem to change every few days, but the weirdest a couple of weeks ago, the only thing i wanted for dinner was a bowl of tuna mayo with pickles.....!

lab896 · 03/12/2020 16:21

With my first was cherryade and strawberries, this one (I'm 11 weeks) Fanta fruit twist, not sure what it is with me and fizzy drinks when pregnant!

AnnieKennyfanclub · 03/12/2020 16:25

bread sticks and tonic water mixed with soda water. Couldn’t get enough of either. Now I can stand either ( unless mixed with copious ammounts of gin!

Luckyelephant1 · 03/12/2020 16:42

Mine seem to change every few days too and it's more a case of what I can stomach rather than a craving! But most of last week it was McDonald's fries with extra salt, like they aren't salty enough already! Blush also been craving lots of grapes and clementines, at least that's somewhat healthy!

DiabeticFirstBaby · 03/12/2020 17:50

Mine seems to be pork pies and Richmond sausages. Also eaten a lot of mashed potato that I don't usually. Not had desperate cravings but just things i've fancied to eat a lot of that i don't usually eat!

Cressie2 · 03/12/2020 17:52

Buttered toast and sweets. So many sweets.

I think all of these cravings are just our inner pigs waiting to come out and we can use it as an excuse now we are all pregnant! Grin

SEP880 · 03/12/2020 18:17

Ice !!! 40+3 and still crunching away !

I’ve not really had any cravings, much to OH’s annoyance - he said he was looking forward to going out and sourcing lots of weird and wonderful things that I craved ! It’s more been food aversions for me, I either fancy it or not so meal planning has gone out the window !!

Joeyandpacey · 03/12/2020 18:20

Salt. Anything salty, with more salt on top!

DogsAreBetterThanPeopleK · 03/12/2020 20:08

I had the mayo aversion too at the start! (32 weeks now). Loved the stuff before, couldn't even look at it during the 1st trimester.

And also had lots of mashed potato too at the start! And salt. I also had a week at about 12 weeks where I had steak every night for tea because it was all I wanted. That was an expensive week 😂

I'm only 8 weeks here so I'm not sure if it's cravings or just I fancy certain foods but I've been big into peanut butter and banana sandwiches on slightly stale wholemeal bread (that's normal right 🤷‍♀️) and my daily breakfast of 1 round of cheese on toast has been replaced by bran flakes - what's that all about lol

emma911030 · 03/12/2020 23:55

Mine this time have been pretty much the same as my first pregnant, cornflakes with ice cold milk and sugar - every morning without fail! Orange juice although this has had to be controlled a little due to the fact it also gives me chronic heart burn 😩 and one I didn't have last time banana milkshakes (home made).. I never used to like cherries and berries squash either but every day I have to fill a bottle of mixed squash and freeze it ready to take to bed at night. I have to get it out the freezer maybe 30 mins before I go to bed so I can have an ice cold drink then every time I wake up in the night (a million) I always have a big old drink of nice cold squash - probably doesn't help the fact I'm then I'll again not too long after for another wee, but it's a mix of toilet and mass discomfort that wakes me lol

pennygirl26 · 03/12/2020 23:59

Orange juice, oranges , curry sauce , the chilli munchoa crisps jelly sweets and chocolate

Waitingforbabypage · 04/12/2020 09:58

McDonald's fries!
No real cravings though, more aversions really. I can't deal with bacon anymore, or steak. Chicken and mince seem ok though. Veggies are hard going too, I think it's a texture thing. But jacket potatoes, chips, roasties.....all good!!!

MsHedgehog · 04/12/2020 10:05

I’m 22 weeks and I’ve not got any cravings t all!

There was one evening around 11 weeks where I desperately craved a snickers bar, but that was it. I’ve not had any cravings at all! People keep asking me and I’m like none Confused

MsHedgehog · 04/12/2020 10:06

Oh but I do have a massive aversion...I can drink flat drinks! Can’t drink still or tab water, can’t drink juice, can’t drink tea. Can only drink fizzy drinks so I’m living off sparkling water now! But it’s not a craving...I throw up if I drink anything flat!

MsHedgehog · 04/12/2020 10:07

*can’t drink flat drinks

lab896 · 04/12/2020 10:16

I have a aversions to mushrooms currently and I normally have mushrooms most meals!
