Cravings...

[OnNaturesCourse]

Any had weird cravings?

Just a random topic of conversation. This pregnancy I don't have a craving but more of "all I'll eat for every meal" kind of thing going on.

Ham sandwich with butter and plain crisps between the ham slices
(I know, ham isn't advised in pregnancy but I can't help it, it's all I want to eat!)

Previous pregnancies have been
Bran flakes
Mayo on everything
Frosties
Lemon anything
Gravy by the bucket load.

Wish I would crave healthy things!

What!! AFAIK ham is absolutely fine to eat in pregnancy....

What ham? Lol

My midwife said no ham...

All I wanted was milk and yoghurt in the beginning 🥰😍

I have eaten SO MUCH ham in both my pregnancies 🤣

Toasties were a big craving last time. Nothing specific this time; I just want to eat everything aaaaall the time.

Ham is fine. The list of foods to avoid is pretty short.

Chippy chips. I ate a bag every single day of my pregnancy, sometimes 2🤭

All I wanted to eat was Asda ham sandwiches for months. I couldn't make them myself because touching the ham with my hands made me sick.
After that it was apples and watermelon- and mince pies which was a bit tricky in July.

Maybe I've misunderstood my midwife re ham then but she definitely raised a eyebrow at me eating ham sandwiches...

Oh got no eat what you want and when you want!! Except what's on the not allowed list obviously. But if you can keep down a ham sandwich or 12 go for it!!

As long as it’s cooked ham, it’s fine. The things to avoid are cured meats or anything that’s cold smoked, such as prosciutto, salami,..
