13 weeks pregnant, completely gone off meat. Really liking coke, cold drinks, fizzy drinks, green pitted olives and pasta. Quite like fish too and chips from the fish and chip shop 😂 any relation to gender do you think? Attached my scan in case anyone fancies a guess

I went off meat in both pregnancies unless it was fried😂 first pregnancy was obsessed with crispy chilli beef from the chinese, never liked it pre pregnancy, never liked it again after she was born. Second pregnancy was obsessed with big mac’s! Again never likes them pre pregnancy, he’s 7 months old now and I tried one again after he arrived and I now don’t like those either😂

How funny I had the opposite - went completely off carbs and pasta (shocking for a part Italian!) and craved salty protein like steak, smoked salmon, pork scratchings 😬

Seems to have levelled out now 6 months in which is good because I don't have the budget for that diet!!

I asked ChatGPT to guess with mine and it was right.
I’m having two girls and the myth was true for me… didn’t touch meat for 12 weeks and ate more fruit than I have in ten years. 14 weeks now and I just want chocolate/sweets/flapjacks… gone off fruit again… but can tolerate real food a bit better now.

I've never noticed a difference in cravings. Had a boy and ate loads of savoury foods. Having a girl this time and my main cravings have been salt and vinegar crisps, salad and nuts. I think maybe it's just what your body wants at the time. I never really seem to crave anything sweet.

Do you feel like you're having a girl or a boy? I've always strongly felt I was having a certain gender from very early one.
