Well I didn't. DD I wanted fresh fruit salad and I started to eat butter having hated it all my life. DS I wanted spicy stuff and pickled onions. I avoid pickled onions now after having eaten a whole large jar in one sitting Grin

I've got 2 boys, 1 girl and pregnant with a girl now. Not one pattern with any of them. Salt and sweet with both girl and boys, nothing crazy.

FruitLoopzz · 28/03/2021 22:03

@Okki - everywhere I’ve read basically says sweet for girl and spicy for boy x

Yes.

Ice - plain ice, no flavoured lollies or anything just cubes. All the cubes and Rennie's peppermint tablets Hmm

I have two boys. First boy I wanted salt, Chinese takeaway, salt, crisps, salt. Lol. Second boy I ate ALL the chocolate and more. Now he’s here, he loves chocolate too Grin

Pregnant with DD I could not get enough of tinned pears. I had awful morning (all-day and night) sickness so midwife thought the tinned pears carving was about getting the quick sugar and carb hit in an easily digestible form.
With DS I was all about broccoli. This time the theory was that my iron was low (it wa borderline throughout) and broccoli was an easily digestible form that had both vitamin c and iron. No morning sickness though which was a bonus!!
All I know is that broccoli these days gives me the heaves because I ate so much of it.

I had completely different cravings with my two girl pregnancies and even more different with my now boy pregnancy. First girl all I wanted was meat, tomatoes and oranges (maybe was lacking iron and vitamin c). Second girl I wanted citrus/sour stuff but overall less intensive cravings. With boy now I’ve had minimal cravings and a lot of aversions, have gone off all protein, no meat, chicken or fish, no eggs, no legumes. I occasionally crave something sweet but when I eat it doesn’t hit the spot. So for me all have been very different.

Workinghardeveryday · 28/03/2021 22:16

First pregnancy was a girl and it was sweet things. Second twin pregnancy boy and girl and it was sour things!

MajorNeville · 28/03/2021 22:18

Boy then girl, identical pregnancies, births and cravings.

Tombero · 28/03/2021 22:24

DD was chocolate and spicy curry, DS was celery. It’s no surprise that on the last day of my pregnancy with DS I weighed a stone less than on the last day of DDs.

FruitLoopzz · 28/03/2021 22:38

Interesting responses. I had read about cravings being associated with minerals and vitamins we lack rather than sex of baby x

@FruitLoopzz
yes i am going to- i cant wait Blush
how far along are you x

Warrickdaviesasplates · 28/03/2021 23:22

Yes, I just wanted anything sugary with both of mine. DS was a summer baby so I gorged myself on ice lolly's or fruit while DD was winter so it was hot chocolate or cake. But with both I just wanted sugar.

Now pregnant with a third and haven't had any cravings at all. Although yesterday I fancied salad which I've never wanted before in my life. So we'll see what this one is like.

Moominmiss · 28/03/2021 23:24

I have girls and am now having a boy and in both my previous and current pregnancy my only craving has been cherry tomatoes and raw carrots!
