CRAVINGS!!

[Catlovermumof1]

Please can you tell me what your pregnancy cravings were!

I am 3rd trimester expecting a girl and I really can't stop smelling cleaning products, cif is my favourite and when I go to sleep at night I picture myself cleaning a big bath tub with cif to help me go to sleep!

Is this normal?!? I can't stop thinking about smelling a good wet sponge with cif on or bleach oh my 😵‍💫

Lemon shake and vac🤩🤩

Totally normal. My craving is the smell of flash kitchen cleaner on a sponge. Previous two pregnancies was lemon flash on a sponge. My kids think I'm bonkers 😅

I have had pica in both my last and my current pregnancy caused by low iron. My cravings are hoover dust, condenser dryer dust , lemon shake n vac, mandarin room spray and ice!

I have to watch people on YouTube hoover up huge piles of dirt to curb the cravings. With my previous pregnancy I was in hospital being induced watching the videos 🤣🤣🤣

Funny enough I have low iron!! And I watch bath cleaning videos constantly omg and toilet cleans 😍

I’m the same! I’ve got low iron (collecting prescription for tablets tomorrow) and can’t stop thinking about putting Ariel washing powder in my mouth. The thought of it on my tongue keeps creeping into my mind 🤣

First baby - boy - cheesey beans on toast, watermelon

Second baby -girl - ice chips , grilled tomatoes 🍅 the big ones- one time I ate about 12 😬

I'm only 6 weeks so I hope it's okay for me to join in too. For me at the moment I just want to eat meat and drink tomato juice! Normally I have a predominantly plant based diet but right now beef, chicken, and bacon are a big thing for me. Nothing weird and wonderful, just a steady carnivorous urge! Haha!

A mixture of freshly squeezed orange and lemon juice in a glass with ice. The proportions of orange and lemon had to be exactly right. Then that spicy lime pickle on ryvita

I'm still early on, only in the first trimester, but I want to eat crisps all. the. time. Doesn't matter what flavour!

Crap food. Carbs mainly. I would eat fish and chips from the chippy every day, which isn't really like me! I'm being strict with myself this week because I failed majorly last week...

I'm only 11 weeks tomorrow, and I'll balloon if I don't watch it!

Omg I keep watching these videos on YouTube cleaning hoarders houses- is this a common third trimester thing?!

Aldi surface cleaner is my fave smell at the moment. Got given a bottle and I just have to clean my surfaces and works several times a day just to sniff it.

Ice is my main one though. I have about 30 cubes a day

1st baby boy- mars bars
2nd baby boy- I used to suck and chew on clean wet washing out of the machine, and ice
3rd girl currently 29 weeks- wet sponges & flannels in the bath and frozen broccoli 😂

You alll need to treat yourselves to some 'unstoppables' wax melts, my second pregnancy currently 13.5 weeks and I've stocked up ready as I know it's coming. Thank me later!!

Of course it's okay to join in! When I was 5-6 weeks I had a really bad craving to bite hard plastic like beads 🤣

@catlovermumof1 Oh my goodness! 🤣🤣🤣 I'm actually quite jealous! I keep hoping I'll get some weird and wonderful cravings but so far, I've got nothing! Last week it was ice cold water. How boring can you get? Haha!!

Furniture polish.. I’ve just run out of Mr Sheen and have tesco own brand now and it’s just not the saaaaaaame

I had fresh wood, cut grass & petrol. For my daughter, I added Vicks Vaporub & the rubber of hot water bottles. Unfortunately this escalated to smearing squares of dissected hot water bottles with the Vicks & chewing on them.

My family has form though; my sister would sprinkle Radox bath salts on a sponge & chew those.

Anaemia for the win lol.

25 weeks with twin girls!
Biggest craving is cement/walls - I just love the smell of wet cement. My DH thinks I'm insane...
The smell of bleach is also amazing at the moment!
Otherwise for things I can actually safely eat - I'm also anaemic so red meat and twiglets!

I have been told I have a ferritin level of 7 so have to go on some sort of tablets, probably explains the need to chew on plastic beads and over cleaning the sink with cif

Mine is so boring haha - 37 weeks and it's whole milk with ice cubes. First trimester was crispy cold apples and cheese and ham toasties!

I'm 8 weeks today and all I want is Butter Chicken from the Indian Takeaway (with naans, with chips, rice, etc.) Not even the chicken really, something about the sauce is just omg.

and pistachios. Seriously. So many pistachios.

With my daughter anything that sent
Like lemon would make
My mouths water including ice and wet sponge that’s also a sign of anemia..

This pregnancy sushi rice and avocado and beef burgers two thing I don’t like are beef burgers and avocado lol I’m only early
