What have your pregnancy cravings been??

[rainbowbaby2]

Last pregnancy mine was nectarines when they were in season. Delicious!

Time time it's pink lady apples. I'm obsessed! I don't normally like apples all that much.

This time* i was supposed to say! Too busy scoffing down thinly sliced cold apple lol

Lime milkshakes.
Beetroot.
The smell of peanut butter (didn't eat any, just sniffed it).

Dd- avocados, anything salt and vinegar, strawberries and yoghurt

ds- salt! Jalapeños, the frappe things from costa and the brine from a tin of tuna- slurped carefully without cutting my lip on the side of the tin

My first was prawn cocktail crisps, Evian water and sour sweets. Second was literally any kind of fruit, full fat cola and crushed ice. Both girls.

Tangerines 🍊 until someone at work told me the baby would come out orange 😂

1. Craved meat. Went off pizza, chocolate & bananas.

2 & 3 Ice. Had to be a certain size & "frozeness" 😁. Again went off chocolate. Never really went back to wanting it. More savoury now.

Supermarket sandwiches 🙈
Nandos
Mars bars
Cake

DD milk
DS prawns

My second was jacket potato's with butter and cheese. I couldn't get enough.

Fizzy drinks

Burger kings cheese jalapeño bites

Indian pickle (achaar) of garlic and mango extremely spicy and hot that a family member made for DH who loves it- gave me the worst heartburn ever but I couldn't stop eating it.

Orange juice , I'd drink a carton a day .

Exactly the same cravings - two girls.

Anything acidic and tangy: pickled onion and pineapple (with cheese on a cocktail stick), balsamic vinegar to dip freshly baked and buttered baguette into, Branston pickle...

Salty crisps

Ice cold sparkling water with lemon and lime slices.

Orange juice and watery fruit like melon and grapes

Confort food from my childhood. Pregnant both times at the start of the autumn so hot my appetite back throughout the late autumn and winter so lots of sausage and mash, roasts, pie and mash, stews and dumplings...

My cravings also changed daily on both occasions. I'd see an advert with a lasagne perhaps then HAVE to go and buy the ingredients and make it for dinner that night.

Oh god, pickled onion Monster Munch too. Surprised my DD didn't have them for feet.

I thought I had a craving for apples. Then I thought I had a craving for strawberry Ribena.

Until I got an actual craving that was all consuming and made me realise they were never true cravings before.

My craving with both pregnancies was eating soap bubbles!!

The charcoal biscuits from the variety dog biscuit box.

Pints and pints of Cadbury hot choc powder, but had it with cold milk in a pint beer glass.

Went completely off anything fried, even grilled alternative was enough to make me nauseous.

Was nearly eleven stone when I conceived, but soon as dc was delivered and I got home, I was eight stone nine pound.

Lack of fried and grilled food definitely lost me excess weight.

Was a few years ago, but mine was vanilla bean ice cream. It HAD to be the proper stuff, if I couldn't see those little black specks of vanilla pod I wasn't interested.

There was a piece in the Guardian about this today, interesting read

Why pickles and ice-cream? The science of strangely specific pregnancy cravings | Pregnancy | The Guardian

Ice.
Tinned grapefruit, chocolate milkshake.

Alcohol. Beer. Wine. Tequila… 🤦🏽‍♀️
spicy Indian food
donner meat kebabs
fuzzy drinks
red meat

then the “healthier” stuff-😂-
strawberries dipped in cola
extra hot cups of tea
mango juice

its been interesting.. mostly because I can’t fulfil the alcohol one lol

@HelloYouGuys I also 'lost weight' when I was pregnant. I put it down to more salads and no wine. You forget how calorie laden booze is 😃

Omg this has opened up a can of worms! So many that i remember.
Ice was a real craving of mine with my ds. I would fill up a glass just full of ice and crunch away.

Also Starbucks frappes this time!! Any flavour. I just can't get enough. Also McDonald's coke. That hits different.

My sister was chewing sponges 🤣

@GiftWrappedSuburbanDreams yes supermarket sandwiches! I'm the same this time. I think it's because i know what I'm getting each time and I know it won't change 😂.

Samosas- not the rubbish supermarket ones. My husband ended up on first name terms with the man in the Indian Vegetarian takeaway place (they are amazing), as he would ring to get 3-4 days worth at once. They also do spring rolls which didn’t quite do it, but had a very satisfying crunch when bitten into…

Yes that's probably it 😊I remember having a sandwich from Morrisons and it was like eating the best thing ever at the time 😅

First pregnancy (girl) -
Volvic watermelon flavoured water - sounds ridiculous but I'm surprised I didn't drown myself with how many 1.5l bottles I got through (even the local shop started keeping them back for me instead of putting them out on the shelves).
Also ice cream even in the depths of winter. Went completely off red meat.

Second pregnancy (also girl) -
Stodgy carbs with every meal, cheese and pickle sandwiches, beetroot, coleslaw
