[ZaneMumsnet]

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,

Mine weren't that weird really - with my first (a boy) I always wanted tuna, with my second (a girl) it was chocolate (which I suppose was fairly weird as I'm not overly keen on chocolate) and my third (a boy) I just ate everything!

Prior to being pregnant I disliked drinking milk, but craved (& drank) while pregnant, so good for baby.

i didnt have any cravings but was unable to eat food if i could smell it!! made life really difficult haha

I havn't really had any crazy cravings, the only food I just can't get enough of is cereal. i have at least 3 bowls a day! :)

Pickled onions and toast..sounds awful now!

Haribo sweets & milkshakes

I was obsessed with pic 'n mix, and runny eggs (I know, pregnancy no no, but I couldn't help it !!) oh and milk loads of it !!

boiled swede with black pepper i used to do a whole pot at a time and mash it and sprinkle the pepper. It was so strange i would have it for breakfast and depending on mood add butter or ketchup.

I actually didn't have cravings throughout my pregnancy, but when I wanted something I had to have it! One particular night, I was in bed watching TV and it showed a person eating steak, egg and chips. That was it, at 11.30pm my poor boyfriend drive to the 24hr Tesco bought the food and came back and cooked it for me! It was amazing! X

I've been vegetarian for 25 years and craved corned beef!

I ate bowls and bowls of broccoli, just snacked on it with tomato sauce!!!

marshmallows

Not particularly crazy but I absolutely craved citrus fruit of any kind. I would sit in the evenings and eat a whole lemon, sucking out the juice first.

Cheese and cider lollies - when the ice cream van came round i used to waddle out with a coolbag! My husband at the time banned cheese from the house as I ate so much and when i was on maternity leave i had to walk 30 minutes to the spar shop to get my secret fix... all together it was an hour waddling. Its no wonder our son was overdue - too happy on those goodies!

Chilli sauce (Franks Hot Sauce) on toast !!!

I was obsessed with salt and vinegar Walkers crisps. No other brand would do, it had to be Walkers.

I didn't have any outlandish cravings while pregnant, but bizarrely went all healthy with my cravings. I used to crave salad by the bucket load, as well as fruit salad, and yoghurts, but they could only be blackberry flavour ones from Waitrose. I had to go out of my way to get those particular yoghurts and if there wasn't a yoghurt in the house.. panic!!! I used to work in Canary Wharf at the time and there was an M&S under the building, I must have spent a small fortune in there during that 9 months with constantly buying fruit salads, smoothies, yoghurts, ready made salads, grapes.. the list goes on!

Pickled onions

Pot noodles, super noodles and sour cream pretzels!

I never had unusual cravings,with my first I drank a lot of Milkshake and with my second I crunched a lot of ice but that seems to be a popular one 😀

I used to eat cold plum tomatoes and butter icing i was obsessed :)

Iced buns from the bakers

I have a major sweet tooth usually, but all i wanted when pregnant with my son was lettuce sandwiches and tonnes of ice, went through 4-5 trays of ice cubes every day. Drove my poor partner insane crunching on ice 24/7.

Pink grapefruit
Pink grapefruit squash
Pink grapefruit sweets
Pink grapefruit marmalade

You name it; as long as it was pink grapefruit based I couldn't get enough of it.

My craving was mainly lemons, I would suck the juice straight from the lemon, I couldn't do it now though at the time it tasted amazing
