To help celebrate the new Pregnancy Tracker app, sponsored by Persil Non Bio and Comfort Pure - we'd love to hear all about your pregnancy cravings.

The new app guides you through pregnancy week by week, sharing expert info and the experiences of thousands of other women who've been through the same things at each stage.

We all know that pregnancy can make people do some rather strange things - and 90% of pregnant women will experience antenatal cravings. Some can't get enough of one specific food, while others find themselves creating flavour combinations they'd never have dreamed of pre-pregnancy.

From inhaling everything sweet in two seconds flat, to middle of the night munching, or the sudden urge to taste things that aren't even food - what did you crave while waiting for your baby to arrive?

Share your wacky and wonderful pregnancy cravings with us - and help make other pregnant women currently experiencing them feel a little better about their latest hormone-induced feast.

Anyone who posts on this thread will be entered into a prize draw to win a £150 voucher for the store of your choice PLUS a month's supply of Persil Non Bio and Comfort Pure!

Thanks and good luck,
MNHQ

I had the same craving for every pregnancy, crushed ice with Dr Pepper.

icehousekerry · 21/02/2016 13:36

I could not stop eating ice lollies. I must have eaten a million of them!

Silvercomp · 21/02/2016 13:44

Mr Kipling lemon slices - I couldn't get enough of them. I also went through a polo mints phase, couldn't stand brown bread and didn't eat fish for the whole of my pregnancy!

mooota1514 · 21/02/2016 13:48

pickled onion monster munch and chocolate wispa bars - at least 6 of each packs per DAY!

sl31 · 21/02/2016 13:57

Beef risotto at all times of the day

LuckyBluie · 21/02/2016 14:00

Haha this thread is brilliant Grin
I ate so much Cauliflower cheese, potatoes and whole nut chocolate it's absurd. Gained at least 4 stone and it took me five years to shift! Blush

mumpetuk1 · 21/02/2016 14:10

I used to like cold tinned prunes

Cailin7 · 21/02/2016 14:17

Jars of pickled beetroot

carolacr · 21/02/2016 14:17

Crunching ice cubes

sooz83 · 21/02/2016 14:24

Spinach and vanilla ice cream. I remember wanting both but couldn't decide between the two so tried both. Was really good actually yet I don't eat it now x

ju2003connor · 21/02/2016 14:34

With my first I couldn't get enough of Tomatoes, I would buy a 6 pack and eat them all like they were apples! crazy craving!

ThomasRichard · 21/02/2016 14:37

DC1: tissues, Granny Smiths apples, Boursin and Parma ham.

DC2: eye-wateringly strong salt & vinegar crisps and tissues again Hmm

KittyKat88 · 21/02/2016 14:52

I don't remember any 'unusual' cravings as such. I did want to eat lots of brocolli throughout my pregnancy (more than usual) but maybe I just had an iron deficiency?! Hmm

Ikea1234 · 21/02/2016 14:54

Bacon sandwiches were my craving, but it was at all times of the day or night. My husband got up several times at 2am as my tummy was grumbling so loudly!

mo3733 · 21/02/2016 14:56

i loved toast with worcester sauce on

coffeeisnectar · 21/02/2016 15:00

Tinned plum tomatoes. Cold. And salt and vinegar crisps. I detest salt and vinegar crisps but for 9 months I devoured them. With my cold tinned plum tomatoes. :o

freefan · 21/02/2016 15:04

My craving was for a strawberry cornetto,I just couldn't get enough of them,and I just loved the crunch of the cone, between these and coronation chicken I was set :)

gamerwidow · 21/02/2016 15:16

I craved cheese of any kind its a wonder I wasn't as a big as a house by the end.

joanf · 21/02/2016 16:45

I do not like tomato soup, but when I was pregnant I wanted it for breakfast, lunch and dinner!

HollybearFluffpuss · 21/02/2016 16:51

Milk and Sugary foods. Goodness knows how much milk I drank at night!!

cherylann2461 · 21/02/2016 17:07

when I was pregnant I had cravings for bags of crisps with Worchester cauce sprinkled on them and pickled eggs.

BellaWella86 · 21/02/2016 17:09

Nothing too crazy here sadly... I craved cloudy lemonade.

lhlee62 · 21/02/2016 17:13

Rissoles from the chip shop with loads of vinegar and curry, poor hubby drove to 5 chip shops before he could find one.

gaylemcfedries · 21/02/2016 17:17

Have to admit im a sweet and sour girl so mint aftereights and coleslaw even now I cant stand them at xmas cause the amount I consumed and yes together not seperate mixed up in a bowl

Narnianescape · 21/02/2016 17:18

Unwashed potatoes was a major craving of mine
