Pregnancy Cravings

[Curlymam88]

Sure I've seen a thread about cravings somewhere where a lady was craving licking a carpet during her pregnancy??
My cravings have been pretty normal so far being lemonade and big mac in the early stages to chocolate, fruit and sugar laces now.
Does anyone else have any cravings during their pregnancy?...the good and the bad? I love to hear them.

Prawn cocktail crisps, cannot get enough!

I eat an avocado every day, can’t get enough of it 🥑
I really crave McDonald’s breakfast which is odd as prior to pregnancy I couldn’t even stand the smell of it, let alone eat it!
Also woke up at 3am this morning craving haribo, hasn’t gone away and unfortunately the only sweet thing I have in the house is fruit which isn’t really doing anything to get rid of the haribo craving 😂

Nothing too unusual then. Avocado is a good balance with haribo!

Hash browns

Donuts (honestly I wasn’t bothered by them before now they’re the be all end all )
Also jacket potato and beans lol

@sociallydistained I've been eating alot of jacket potato, ham and cheese but with loads of salad cream

God mine have been things I never eat normally Cheese (but only babybels or pizza flavoured cheesestrings) I hate cheese. Also sausage rolls but only cheap Sainsbury's ones and ginsters Cornish pasties. My poor husband bought me a nice fancy m and s sausage roll and I cried because it wasn't the right one - he probably things I'm nuts!

Cherry tomatoes!!!!!

@smileyplant I wonder if your having a boy with those cravings?
@Moominmiss I've been enjoying cherry tomatoes too. And cherries

I crave the smell of petrol! So weird!

Mines varied from trimester to trimester. First trimester was chocolate and irn bru (couldn’t even look at coke). Second trimester it was sour cream crisps and coke. Not in third trimester yet but I’m sure it’ll be something unhealthy! However, recently it’s been frozen pizza and wedges (cooked of course lol).

Sadly I don't have cravings, I have food aversions. I've gone off most drinks and milk and chocolate is starting to taste off too. I would love a mad craving

Just crappy junk food basically... just finished a kfc now waiting for a cookie dough AND an ice cream sundae to turn up 🙈🤣, I have a GD test next week due to PCOS so making the most of it before I probably will have to live on salad for my last 12 weeks and sob all the way as that’s just not gunna for fill my sweet tooth cravings ☹️

@Curlymam88 I definitely reckon it's a Boy!

@BowsandBaking I have visions of a pregnant lady standing in a petrol station every day inhaling deeply lol.
@Worriesome one of my food aversions is pizza an I used to love pizza.
@BabyMoonPie aww do you have time for cravings to pick up or are you far along?
@Holly91 enjoy it unfortunately I've gone off ice cream
@smileyplant you'll have to let us know! I wonder if itstrue what they say about food cravings and sex of baby?

Another one here for Sainsburys sausage rolls - particularly in early pregnancy.

Now in my second trimester it's salt and vinegar McCoy's Crisps. Can't get enough of them.

I went off water completely in first trimester, I think it was because I was so sick. I'm slowly starting to drink a pint here and there again though.

I'm convinced I'm having a boy, will find out in 2 weeks.

Raisins! Which is very odd since I normally never eat it on its own (find it too sweet). But the pregnancy is throwing my tastebuds off and the things I normally like (anything with an umami flavour) leaves a slight bitter aftertaste so I find myself nibbling on raisins to balance out the taste!

Also find myself craving a lot more sweet things these days than I normally do... I wonder if taste preferences can in any way be passed on, since the hubby has a very sweet tooth...

Cherry tomatoes!!!

@titchy13 salt and vinegar McCoy's are nice though, you'll have to let us know how your scan goes? I'm intrigued to know if cravings relate to gender?
@pileapetals or maybe you're having a girl?? Craving sweet things?
@Happyhippooo another one for cherry tomatoes. I've enjoyed them, sweet and juicy and refreshing
