Cravings..

[EmmaJennie]

Hi,

my cravings have been lemons, ice poles, strawberries, citrus juice, sweets, and I really don't like meat atm, especially on the bone. I have been sick a lot through my pregnancy too!

Boy or girl?

Thanks xx

Omg mine are so similar, lemon and lime everything, sour citrus flavours and an endless amount of ice lollies

@CSR721 omg wow that's crazy. I'm literally crazy for lemons 😂 how many weeks are you? And what do you think you are having?

I think you need to get yourself some pregnancy vitamins 🤷🏻‍♀️ cravings are most definitely not a good sign

Congratulations on your pregnancy

McDonald's fries, we don't even eat McDonald's and barely get takeaway once a month. I can't stop thinking about the fries.

It's not necessarily a bad sign, it's perfectly normal to go off certain smells and tastes and then crave what you can stomach. If you're eating ice or craving things that aren't edible it's a different story.

First time round it was Macdonald fries, oats and licorice. @Cheetocat same, I was never a Macdonalds fan before.

This time round I felt sick after the one time I had porridge. And whilst I've not been craving anything yet I've really enjoyed salmon, crab sticks and tofu.

First time it was a girl. Protein - maybe a boy?

@grey12 don't be so negative, cravings are normal and although they could signal vitamin deficiencies, you eat the food you crave and get those vitamins... Unless it's like soil. Then take some iron. isn't nature amazing.

I had cravings in all of my pregnancies. I was never malnourished, I just went off certain foods and could only stomach certain things.Totally normal

(And before you ask, yes, I am quite confident I wasn't malnourished because I had blood work done during my pregnancies)

Ice lollies here too!

Mine were:
Strawberries
Haribo Tangfastics
Plain ham sandwiches
Cheerios

She was a girl.

Things I had a sudden aversion to included any brassica; kale, cabbage etc. just tasted of literal dirt.

@grey12 I take vitabiotics Pregnacare Max which is recommended by Doctor, and I also follow a highly nutritious diet most days. Pregnancy cravings are totally normal, my vitamin levels are fine - so eating more strawberries and lemons really isn't that harmful.

@NewYearEveryYear congratulations on your little baby girl. Our cravings are quite similar.. I went off lettuce for some reason, just smelled like grass for me. I'm thinking it's going to be a girl

I have literally all the same Cravings and hate meat! I'm drinking bitter lemon by the gallon. I am having a girl

@Alstoybarn wow I am the exact same. I've got it in my head I'm having a little girl, these cravings are making the belief x10.
