Salt and Vinegar snack-a-jacks.
I have just troughed two packets and I can't get enough of them!

I'm eight weeks pregnant and I had forgotten what this was like, now it's all come flooding back. Poor dh he hates it when I am like this.
Now what else can I eat?..........

i craved anything cold, especially ice lollies i ate packets everyday my favourite was fabs.
but most of the time i felt to sick to ate anything (for the first 5 mths) i ate less when i was pregnant than i did before i was i actually lost 2 stone in the first few mths. (soon started putting it on after that, but it was all baby though)

its weird but i think coz i never really had many cravings while pg apart fron cold things as was always so hot. i have made up for it since ds was born (4 wks ago)
once i was home from hospital i strtaed drinking loads of milk and i mean loads and i also have to have an iced ring dohnut everyday coz i just love them.

At first, lemony things and oranges, then it became all sorts of orange stuff - sweet potatoes, pumpkin, carrots + the orange cake and orange chocolate everything.

mummyhill · 07/07/2005 19:54

I love the smell of bleach at the moment but haven't felt the need to drink it thank god.

toothyboy · 07/07/2005 20:21

Soooo jealous! I didn't have any cravings last time - I think I might just make some up this time!

charleepeters · 07/07/2005 20:22

I craved salty thigs and gerkhins and kebabs and i wonder why i put on 2 stone???

anchovies · 07/07/2005 20:29

Last time it was tomatoes this time mushrooms. Only time I ever crave anything healthy, having said that pizza with lots of tomatoes served with tomato pringles is hardly healthy!

spidermama · 07/07/2005 20:29

Food. Lots of it.

mummyhill · 07/07/2005 20:32

Tuna, sweetcorn and mayo with fresh pasta yum yum

toria77 · 07/07/2005 20:51

fish and rice for the middle few weeks, anything peach throughout and handfuls of ice at a time for the last month!

TinyGang · 07/07/2005 20:58

I only craved the things you're supposed to give up or limit - purely because they were forbidden fruit I think. By the 7/8th month I was desperate for nuts, soft cheese and of course a few nice big glasses of wine to go with it all!

tessasmum · 07/07/2005 21:15

Last time - Marmite crisps and apples. Got local shop to buy crisps by the boxfull at the wholesalers.

This time - fruit to start with, now chocolate

Donbean · 07/07/2005 21:24

Ice cubes,i would eat them out of the tray like chocolates out of a box.
I would make dh buy a coke at mcdonalds, drink the coke and give me the ice at the bottom. I would ask for pint glasses of ice at the pub.
It couldnt freeze quick enough in our freezer so i had about 10 trays on the go at once!
mad but fat free/calorie free.
