Kind of - only because clearly the gods were playing with me - all my cravings were for chocolate, which I'd then throw up 😂😅🫠 Longest 9 months of my life but I did sub in a lot of haribo for my sweet tooth!

Not been pregnant for a long time but I wish my craving had been for Haribo! Or in fact anything edible! Mine was Dettol and Stardrops Pine Disinfectant! God I wanted to drink it so much!

When I was pregnant i existed on tangfastics, strawberries and read made mash for about 12 weeks.

Just dont eat loads before you need to produce a urine sample. I ate 250g of jelly babies and almost got rushed to hospital as my sugar level was so high. I had to come clean and admit it and go for a repeat test the following day 😂

First pregnancy yes......I wanted all the jelly sweets, ice cream and fruity flavoured water.

Second pregnancy......I had a sweet tooth in the first trimester and could get through bags and bags of fizzy sour sweets which seemed to help the sickness but now craving more savoury things.

Yes! Fizzy, tangy ones. Can't buy or eat them in front of my toddler and it's such a struggle 😫

I was addicted to jelly tots when I was pregnant.

And also the smell of rubber. I used to drive to Halfords just so I could walk round sniffing. I also used to buy rubber gloves to chew.

Hormones are weird.

Just have to be careful about gestational diabetes etc... trying to indulge it to a degree (because when else can you justify it?) but not go crazy!

Yes and me! I used to hide bottles of it in every room and just go around sniffing. Carried a bottle of tea tree oil around with me to sniff on a hankie too- it was all-consuming. Anything remotely antiseptic but cheap pine disinfectant was the best.

That and eating rock salt and wanting to chew blackboard chalk (that got better when the midwife gave me calcium tablets).

Was luckier with my second, all I really wanted was tins and tins of prunes (which had a positive effect on my pregnancy constipation so it was a win-win).

Yes! I craved tangfastics for weeks until a couple of weeks ago (would still eat them but just not craving them). I allowed myself a portion/handful of them when craving. What I found is that I was actually craving sour things in general so I started replacing some of the sweet eating with having lemons in water and even eating a couple of slices of lemon (fine for me because I liked lemons prepregnancy but just even more now).
