What is/were your pregnancy cravings?

[newmummie]

Oh my god! I'm addicted to crisps I can't stop, had this craving throughout but now I'm 8 months I'm still going, especially salt & vinegar.... what's your cravings? Or cravings you've had in previous pregnancies, so interested to know!

Anything milk based! DD was milk... drank gallons of the stuff, cold as possible.... I don't even like milk! And she came out with a milk allergy! DS was cheese. Four cheese pizzas with extra cheese were all I ate

DD cucumbers and grapes. DS ice.

Only craved once in 3 pregnancies. The twin one pickled onions, I remember sending hubby to tescos in the middle of the night for some..Always hated them and now back to normal still hate them odd huh lol

Only 7+2 and very savoury. Not drawn to my usual chocolate in the evening at all.

this week I just want French stick and lurpack 😝

First pregnancy I ate melons every day and the smell of garlic made me feel murderous.
Second time it was constant curry.
Third was individual strawberry cheesecakes, the ones near the yoghurt in supermarkets. I have never eaten them before or since!

Oh forgot to add that the second time I was absolutely addicted to the smells of tarmac, petrol, diesel, creosote and coal tar soap. I always filled my car with the smallest amount of fuel possible so that I could go back more often and the thought of drinking it was so tempting.
I also have to confess that I did often nibble some of the soap. My husband actually told me off and confiscated it!

39 weeks pregnant and all I've been craving since my first trimester is fruit. Watermelon, berries, kiwis, peaches.

Beige snacks in the early weeks when I was feeling a bit nauseous - crisps, babybels, peanuts, etc.

Later on it was sticky toffee pudding. I’ve never been keen on sponges/pies/warm puddings but I couldn’t get enough.

Not as many or much as I expected. I'm 7 months currently.
I've loved COLD fruit and I want (need?) Coke zero which I know isn't great but I don't drink any other caffeine so have accepted it. Otherwise the occasional day of needing something sweet or a milkshake or something.

I'm in Scotland and mines has been Morton's crispy rolls. I honestly can't get enough whether it's a lovely ham salad roll or cheese with crisps, or sausage and potato scone 🤣 was the same with my first pregnancy and this pregnancy too!

And diet irn bru! 🤣

Stuffed vine leaves (super random) and tangy apples, get so crossed with my husband if he buys royal gala 😂

Mustard and wasabi 🔥

Pickled walnuts . I couldn't get them locally so my mother used to send them in the post . I still love them !

Have you saw the mustard lady on tik tok? If you haven't you should check her out lol.

Lentils. Which I was totally indifferent to until then.

They are now the only healthy thing DS likes!

Loving melon at the minute and anything savoury! Crisps, bread, potatoes haha.

Absolutely gone off bananas though and I used to love them!

DD bacon sandwiches and ready salted square crisps.
DS nectarines and iceberg lettuce

Cheese, chicken and mayo with my son all on a sandwich.
With both my girls it was muesli and chocolate, lots of chocolate.
The sweet and savoury old wives tale was right for me

Chips and curry sauce from the Chinese takeaway, I was so so sick with my pregnancies , this was the only thing that settled my stomach! With subsequent DC it was oranges by the box . Before we knew about DC4 we booked to go on a boat holiday, again I was v v sick and didn’t know how I’d manage being on a boat, but the rocking counter acted the sickness , and as long I was onboard I was great ! The second I stepped off I was sick … bodies are weird 🤣

Paper, burnt matches and balloons 😫

My first pregnancy was taco chips with cheese,Banana milk & soup. Second I had GD but craved a chicken wrap & funnily enough salad with chicken & a wholemeal pitta bread,it honestly was a lifesaver for a dinner meal,I really craved a hot coffee with sugar & when I had one after the birth it was amazing 😀

This has made me laugh 🤣 I wanted to bite into sponges in supermarkets and had to really stop myself

Dry wall, sand, nail polish remover... specifically the blue acetone, frozen like an ice pop and I dreamt of chewing on the chemical tasting frozen goodness.
I never actually ate any of those obviously, but the cravings were so so strong that it upset me that I couldn't and I cried about it often! 😂

(I had low iron in each pregnancy which the GP believed was causing pica)

Mine are pretty much the exact same! I love a very cold can of coke zero or diet coke, been buying the caffeine free stuff but it's not the same!

Also been putting fruit in the fridge before eating and I love milkshakes and smoothies at the minute.

I'm almost 8 months and having a girl
