What were/are your pregnancy cravings!? Anyone has/have any really odd ones!?!?

My first pregnancy it was washing sponges (no, I didn't swallow the ! Just chewed them - I believe this is called pica).

This pregnancy it's fruit sweets, sour sweets, orange/apple juice and fruits (strawberries, raspberries, melon)

I once heard of someone having pica once and craving car tyres!!😲

Marmite sandwiches

And ice

I got though a bag of ice a week I just sit there chomping on it.

Mine was vegetarian sausages dipped in raspberry jam.

I was also a sponge chewer.

Pregnancy is a very weird time.

Roses lime cordial with sparkling water and ice.
Burnt crumpets and cheese. I hate crumpets being anymore than slightly cooked but when I was pregnant they had to be burnt.

Ice! 39 weeks today and still eating ice lollies for breakfast 😆

I had pica on my three pregnancies and ate cement, the type you pick of walls outside. I liked the crunch, never swallowed, always spit it out. I also wanted to lick car tyres 😂

More normal cravings were fruit pastille ice pops, orange juice, caramel nibbles and lucozade with ice.
