I'd love to know your cravings! Any weird or strange ones?

I'm craving juicy pears so much GrinI guess I'm lucky that it's a healthy craving and not something bad!

I wish my craving was healthy like yours! My last pregnancy it was watermelon but this one it's the new giant wotsits!! 🙄

Dc1 was those jubbly frozen things.
Dc2 tuna mayo & peanut M&Ms (didn’t last long thank goodness) & pink lady apples

All four pregnancies it has been salty foods with the addition of orange juice with my last. Went through cartons of it and dozens of oranges a week.

Current pregnancy, had the banana phase, I don't normally eat them and now back to square one. Sweet mango phase, oh boy, did I enjoy those juicy mangoes? Yesss! Eggs/chicken phase, soon wore out, then the mushroom one. I had a short coca cola phase, goodness how I craved a large cup of cold coke was beyond me. Thankfully though, with a bit of willpower I put an end to it, that stuff ain't good, besides I had countless sleepess night cos of it!

Carrots and turpentine (sniffing it - I managed to restrain myself from drinking it thankfully!)

1st baby (boy) - desperately craved RENNIES (I ate so many & think it's a condition called PICA) and salty foods.

2nd baby (girl) - no craving at all.

3rd baby (expecting - surprise) - I have a feeling its another boy. I've been craving Rennies again (not as bad) and salty foods.

Mangos and orange juice!! I cannot get enough of them. I also love anything sugary that I shouldn’t be eating and of course the good old bowl of cereal mmmm!

FTM91 · 26/02/2021 18:17

Bread and butter
Weetabix
Pickles
Anchovies (straight out of the jar!)
Juicy fruits - Christmas was great when they sell the little crates of easy peelers. I went through about a crate a week!

Ruthietuthie · 26/02/2021 18:18

Cold, thinly sliced pink lady apples.

rosegoldivy · 26/02/2021 18:27

Baby 1 - grapes, melon and all the pineapple I could get my hands on. Turned out to be a girl.

Currently pregnant with twins and my only real cravings are freezing FREEEEZZING cold diet coke from a can. Like that cold and fizzy your eyes sting like fuck 🤣🤣

I craved mangoes and orange juice too with DS1. With DS 2 it was milky, creamy things like ice cream and milkshake. I had never liked milk previously!

Gleps · 26/02/2021 18:30

I thought I had cravings for apples and strawberry Ribena until I got a real craving... bubbles!

BrowniesAreSuper · 26/02/2021 18:34

First pregnancy nothing, second pregnancy supermarket sushi Grin

olderthanyouthink · 26/02/2021 18:35

Baby 1 - I ate a lot of baby bells in the 1st trimester, lots of ice lollies in the 2nd but it was hot and I have heartburn like crazy, sugar in the 3rd

Baby 2 (in progress) - lot of cheddar in the 1st trimester, sugar and fat in the 2nd

supersop60 · 26/02/2021 18:35

Raspberries and pickled beetroot.

TaraRhu · 26/02/2021 18:38

Hob nobs with cream cheese

Jubaju · 26/02/2021 19:10

Boiled eggs and sour dough- been waking up thinking about eating them. Very strange craving

LadyMonicaBaddingham · 26/02/2021 19:16

Salt and vinegar crisps and fizzy sour worms.

Haha exactly the same as me! Gone through so many packets of mango and orange juicers cartons!
Folly1234 · 27/02/2021 08:49

Seems like cold juicy fruit is a really common craving. My pears have to be really cold so when you bite them the juice is lovely and cold mmmmmm
Lol

Peaches!
Never really had a thing for them before. Not even the season but i am obsessed!

SunnySideUp2020 · 27/02/2021 08:55

Oh yeah, they have to be cold.

mouldygrapes · 27/02/2021 08:59

Apples! Was never a big fan before but I can’t get enough now.
Also pickles especially pickled onions but I always liked those

Algebraicyourleg · 27/02/2021 09:04

Vimto. I was going through so many bottles it was unbelievable, we went on holiday to France and I packed 3 bottles of the cordial and 3 2litre bottles of the fizzy stuff. I could not get enough of it.

I suffered badly with heartburn and sickness and went through a lot of ice lollies to help with it. You can imagine my delight when my husband found and brought home boxes of vimto ice lollies.

Murtaghjames · 27/02/2021 09:05

DD1-Orange juice and fruit
DD2- Ice lollies, lucozade with ice, caramel nibbles, curry chips.
DS-meat and milk.

The only craving food I still eat now is curry chips and meat lol... Don't touch the others including fruit and milk unfortunately.
