What did you crave in your pregnancy/ies?

[lolateddy]

I'm 7 weeks today and all I want is burgers 🤣 anything meaty...
I just can't eat anything healthy! I don't fancy it at all.
Curious to know of yours?

Genuinely sat here crying now because I'm so hungry but don't know what I want I can't look in the fridge because it makes me feel sick. Oh the joys

Mostly sleep and carbs. Though if I stay low carb in my meals the carb cravings go, that was the same pre-pregnancy. I couldn't stomach my protein shakes in the 1st trimester and not having those always leads to bad eating.

Oooh I loved burgers in the first few weeks I was pregnant. I actually went for pub lunch and had a huge burger right before I found out I was pregnant. Then I went off most foods except McDonald’s and salt and vinegar crisps. 29 weeks now and I’m still obsessed with salt and vinegar crisps, but luckily my diet has mostly gone back to normal!

Oh, I had a few weeks in the 2nd trimester where I just craved anything with steak. I was eating steak, steak pies, steak bakes. I’m not usually a big red meat person! Don’t think I was deficient either as my iron levels were super high at booking, apparently.

I'm 9 weeks with my first been craving bread, oranges, salty stuff - bacon, marmite - anything creamy as well so full fat Greek yoghurt, cream cheese.

Gone right off anything with a lot of spice in it, anything really meaty smelling like beef or lamb, sugary food.

The smell of harpic plus ans pine toilet cleaner and to eat is ice I think its the crunch lol, craved ice and birthday cake last time round as well as the same smells xx

Sour things! Lemons and grapefruit and Haribo Tangfastics. I was obsessed

Ice cubes! I used to crunch whole bowls full, and I had favourite types too! Could easily identify whether they were homemade, off-licence bags, or cups full from obliging local fast food restaurants.

This progressed to full-on Pica lasting 15 years 😂 Anything 'crunchy' including crushed up mortar, cement, breeze blocks and crushed stones.

Still indulge occasionally now, the crunchy sensation is so satisfying. It's my awful guilty secret, and my molars are ruined 😳

1st pregnancy - orange juice, gherkins and the smell of bleach.
This pregnancy - ice cold water, cheese and the smell of burnt out matches.
