Craving tuna 😩

[Girlmama3]

I had this with dd3 and I'm craving it again with dc4.

I probably have it 3/4 times a week. I had it more often with dd3. Anyone else craving something we shouldn't eat?

I've craved sushi in both pregnancies, and eaten it...it's healthy, flash frozen, and as long as it's from a restaurant I trust then think it's all good.

It may be a vitamin deficiency causing the craving, try taking an omega 3 supplement as it may help.

Sushi is different to tuna though, tuna is because of the mercury content not the food safety of it.

Smoked Salmon! I literally can't get enough of the stuff... they say to limit it to 1/2 times a week when pregnant... so one day a week, I've been treating myself to smoked salmon and cucumber sandwiches! Good thing it's limited as it'd cost me a fortune otherwise! My babies have expensive taste!!!! ;-)

I craved tuna with DD. DS had fancier tastes, I craved crayfish, prawns etc with him!!

Tuna is fine as long as you follow the nhs recommendation of how much you can have in a week! I’m sure you know that OP but didn’t want anyone else reading this in future to get confused x

Can you not have about 4 medium tuns of tuna per week while pregnant? It's not banned, you should just limit consumption

I am craving a smoked salmon and egg bagel, I thought we couldn't have it full stop. This is music to my ears and I'll be having one a week now!

I have the same craving and had it with my son, but it is specifically tuna and salad cream!

You are allowed 4 tins a week, so I just give in and have it :) straight out of the bowl x

I’m craving tuna and it’s fine to have 4 tins a week, I usually have about 2-3 tins a week for lunches/dinners - maybe it’s because it’s so salty!

Thanks everyone. I'll limit myself from now on. Maybe half a tin a day 😀

I'm craving larger and lime/lemon juice 😩😅
Had to invest in some little cans of alcohol free beer and a bottle of lemon squash ..

@mamamalt Thank god for alcohol free beer! I'm waiting for someone to invent alcohol free disaronno!
