mcdonalds, ice, really cold coca cola...girl

KembleTwins · 30/08/2009 18:25

The only real craving I had was milk. I was having twin girls. I guess I needed the extra calcium. Also had pretend cravings, most notably jelly babies.

ooh yes actually with ds1 i really wanted roast potatoes.
and with ds2 and 3 i wanted cola. which is odd because normally i really, really can't stand it

LadyOfTheFlowers · 30/08/2009 18:27

LOTF might it be the saltiness you like? i def wanted more salty stuff when pg each time.

what do you already have?

francagoestohollywood · 30/08/2009 18:29

ds: anchovies, and blueberry and chocolate ice cream with whipped cream

dd: liquorice, the bitter, the better. ANd milk chocolate (especially kit kat), when I'm usually a dark chocolate person

Portofino · 30/08/2009 18:30

dd - sweet things. Odd as I generally prefer savoury things. Sweet and sour prawn balls was a biggy and the stodgy puddings in the work canteen. I has to FORCE myself to eat vegetables which i normally love.

Bath sponges - with both ds1 and ds2 (Scratchet, how re-assuring, I thought I was the only one).

ThePhantomPlopper · 30/08/2009 18:46

DS - Ice cubes, fizzy drinks and Jif Ocean fresh floor cleaner.

DD - Marmite on toast and chocolate.

DC3 - Nothing so far.

mmrred · 30/08/2009 18:47

Ice, grapefruit and a frozen dessert called Pecan Pie (can't get it any more)flaky pastry marzipan and pecan...girl

Servalan · 30/08/2009 18:47

DD - I craved whole milk, kiwi fruit and pineapple. On the opposite end of the scale, I totally went off olives for the duration of the pregnancy - couldn't even walk past an olive counter without feeling ill (usually love them!)

leothelioness · 30/08/2009 18:49

DS1- mcdonalds (fillet o fish), roast chicken and chick peas
DS2- Chickpeas and tomatoes

I wonder if that is why ds1 has always been so much chunkier than ds2

PavlovtheForgetfulCat · 30/08/2009 18:52

This pg, cannot bear to be around garlic, could not drink coffee for first few months. Crave stodgy savoury food such as pasta, mash, rice, also tomatoes peanut butter, in first two trimesters when I could not eat anything, craved sharp and sour (lemon, lime) and for some reason trifle! - its a boy.

Last pg - went off garlic, coffee, wine. Craved fruit, in particular a mix of banana, orange, grapefruit, grapes and strawberries, yoghurt, and for some reason trifle , I now have a daughter.

PavlovtheForgetfulCat · 30/08/2009 18:53

oh and this pg cannot stand the smell of petrol. It makes me heave. I can smell it when I get out of the car, whether I am filling up or not.

Heathcliffscathy · 30/08/2009 18:54

tomatoes and mozzarella: boy.

MaggieLeo · 30/08/2009 18:55
