Cravings in 1st Trimester

[bluebutterfly8]

Helloo

I'm 6 weeks today with dc4 and since last week I've been craving fast food - burgers, donner, the lot. Every Single Day!

This can't be good, can it? My weight has always been borderline healthy/underweight so maybe this is my body getting me to fatten up a bit!

Has anyone elses cravings started?

:-)

7 weeks here.
Craving anything beige in sight, my usual protein/salad options are a distant memory atm 🤣

Before I knew I was pregnant I couldn’t pass the local cake shop without buying a cream slice. ( I don’t even like cream! )
My office window overlooked the shop, if I had the willpower to pass it in the morning it didn’t last till coffee break.

Once I found out I was expecting I assumed, maybe, my body was lacking something. I didn’t experience it with my first pregnancy but my second was twins.

I really wouldn’t stress about it. Maybe you need the extra fat.

@SSavingTheBestTillLast
What a coincidence you mention twins because it was only last night I was reading up on 'early symptoms of a twin pregnancy' hah!
I've had cravings with my other dcs but it was silly things like ice lollys. I was also never this hungry and nor would I have been able to fit in so much fast food in my tiny stomach!

My dad is a twin and so is my grandma - so far none of us siblings have twins so maybe I'm the chosen one! Lol

What were your symptoms for the twin pregnancy?

@readyforroundthree
It's crazy how our body and food preferences changes so rapidly during pregnancy!

I think I prefer the fast food to anything beige - I can't stand that at min!

Non identical twins run down the female line only. So your dad won’t pass it to you but your grandma will pass it on to her daughters and her daughters to there’s and so on.

ie a gene is passed on that means you produce more eggs…
Men produce billions of potential babies every shot 🤣 so, nothing to do with them then

I found out there were twins in the family after I got pregnant with mine, and after all those cream cakes 🤣

Sorry forgot.
Symptoms
Food craving of cream cakes
Got huge incredibly quickly at my 12 week scan I looked full term and could fit into any maternity clothes.

If you’re having twins I’d say you’ll know somethings off by 8weeks. Maybe even now, are you showing already.

@SavingTheBestTillLast

I'm 6 weeks preg today but not much showing unless I've eaten! I very much doubt it would be twins lol

It's that tiny bit of hope, I don't want to lose! Hah!

& the grandma who is a twin is my mums mum and she's not an identical twin!

Then you ll have the twin gene and you’ll pass it to your daughters.
Wow you never know then

Good luck and let us know after your first scan if it’s twins

@SavingTheBestTillLast

I've got my 1st scan on Friday morning - due to previous miscarraiges. Fingers crossed.

I will update you on friday :-D

How kind
And

👍

Eat what you fancy. I lived in read made mash, strawberries and harib for the 12 weeks. Dts turned out fine.

Chippy chips. Every single day for the whole pregnancy 🤣 I can barely look at them now, think I overdosed on them 😆

@Devilsmommy

Chipss! I love them! I bet they tasted amazing for the whole time aswell!

Not sure about you but I love a plate of home made chips - the ones you cut yourself and fry - they the best!

@lolongdistanceclaraclara
That's a combination that I can't stand at min!
So weird how we all crave different things!

Oh yes I love getting my maris pipers and doing them in the deep fat fryer. Heavenly 🤤😋

@SavingTheBestTillLast

Hiya, I ended up having a scan - should be 6+3. She said I'm measuring 5 weeks and couldn't see anything in the sac. Not the outcome I was expecting!

At 5weeks it could mean it’s just too early.
The alternative very sadly is that the embryo (s) aren’t growing, I’m sure you know that already.

Look after yourself, try not to stress and ( as is recommended ) if there’s no obvious signs of loss then have another scan. It’s just about waiting now I’m afraid.

Will be thinking of you and sending you love and care ❤️🙏

@SavingTheBestTillLast

Thank you for your kind words. It is now just a waiting game.
