I scoffed down Percy Pigs from M&S with DD2. Couldn't keep anything down with the DTs, except at the beginning when all I could keep down was Guiness and pasteurised Camembert.

I craved milk in both pregnancys, (mostly due to it was the only thing that cured my heartburn till i started taking ranitidine) but i could quite eaily find myself drinking 4 pints a day!!

Ameriscot - I agree about Refreshers. I also craved sherbet dib-dabs (just the sherbet, not the horrible liquorice thing). A friend sent me about 5 tubes of the stuff through the post and they arrived through the letter box with white powder trickling out of the envelope. Goodness knows what the postie thought I was on!

MandM - had exactly the same thing as you with coffee too - both pregnancies. I was commuting into London one day a week in the early stages with dd1 and going through the stations and then sitting on the train with all these people drinking take-away coffees was murder. I was green by the time I got there.

Was in hospital for a long time (10 weeks) with dd1 and then developed a really bad Pringles habit. If you opened my locker at any time it would contain a change of knickers and about 5 tubes of Pringles. In my defence, you got absolutely nothing to eat on the ward after 5.30, so by 9.00 I was starving!

welcome sunnysarah! be careful, it is a bit addictive! I went off choc in my first pregnancy - got pregnant at Easter and didn't eat the huge egg I had until about June when I could face it again!

I used pregnancy as an excuse to indulge my greed for chocolate and cakes - no-one dares to comment and luckily breastfeeding helped to shift some of the weight afterwards (although I have to admit that the button on my jeans just gave up the struggle tonight )

I craved corned beef hash and bagels (not together tho!) when I was pregnant with dd!
