cravings..and what they mean

[blueberrybaby8]

(this couldn't have come at a better time..) but I am craving chocolate so badly!
bring on the easter eggs!
seriously though, I can't get enough. With my son I craved more savoury foods and randomly liked lemon.

Any cravings ladies? And any gender guesses based on them?

We're having a gender surprise this time around but still curious to people's ideas! Xx

Personally my cravings where opposites and two girls so I'm no help xx

Ha ha, I've also been through a lemon cravings stage. It's passed a bit now but i couldn't get enough of them a few weeks back. Does make you wonder what it all means???

With my daughter I craved savoury stuff and loved takeaway pizza.
This pregnancy has been completely different and I've had massive sweet cravings. We are also having a surprise so can't help back up any particular theory.
I know the old wives tale says sweet for girl and savoury for boy.

I've been eating alot of shit. Ha! Pizza, chocolate, sweets, crisps anything that I'm not supposed to have and I'm having a girl! Xx

This is going to probably sound weird. But, I've been craving ranch dressing. So, to satisfy my cravings I actually eat a lot of salads with ranch dressing. I'm also guilty of drinking it out the bottle.

Mostly savoury for me but did have a serious craving for Krispy Kreme Doughnuts this week! Usually it's been marmite, salt and vinegar crisps, olives and cheese (cheese spread, cheddar, babybels... mmm crappy cheese lol). I'm having a boy

With my daughter it was pineapple juice and cream cheese and cucumber sandwiches until about twenty weeks and then it was jelly sweets, lollies, all of those types of sweets that I never usually have (I'm more a chocolate fan). Really really missed pate.

With my son, the pineapple juice again but pizza and curries were the things I really wanted.

This pregnancy (another boy) I've eaten pineapple juice, cream cheese and cucumber, cravings for savoury snacks, seafood sandwiches, and have eaten a lot of pizza but wouldn't say that was due to cravings. My biggest craving by far which I obviously don't have is alcohol. I'm dying for a frozen Margherita/mojito but basically any alcohol and I don't even drink normally! I'm not teetotal normal but I have a drink maybe once every few months, I just don't really like alcohol so this is really bizarre. The other week a woman at the table next to us in a restaurant had a glass of wine and I could smell it and wanted it and wine is absolutely the last thing I would drink as I hate it! X

all i want is an alcoholic drink and i never drink even before i was pregnant!!! dying for a nice cold drink with loads of ice! also another one for me was garlic! garlic bread, garlic mayo anything which was rammed with garlic x

 

[blueberrybaby8]

so interesting! thanks for replying ladies!
Savoury definitely seems to sway towards baby boy's doesn't it.
Like I said, I wanted more savoury in my last pregnancy and I had a little boy.
All I want this time is chocolate and sweets...not entirely unlike me normally but it seems to have gone more extreme!

I'm trying really hard to be healthy, having porridge in the mornings and seeded toast, soups, salads, chicken. I love long stem broccoli etc and my little boy eating lots of fruit encourages me to have some.
Big fan of houmous too to dip in.

Love hearing about your cravings so please continue! Also please add which your having if you know, boy or girl!

same ! x

 

[Rose83]

Hahaha Leigh glad it's not just me - it must be to do with the ice as well because I really want iced drinks, like an iceblast slush puppy type thing or ice lollies x

 

[B81292]

I craved chocolate , doughnuts anything unhealthy with my first little girl. Same again this time but with fizzy orange and it's another girl

 

[Leighwiltshire]

deffo the ice thing rose! everyone has told me to bite it but i dont think its the crunch im after think its the coldness just feel the need to have loads of it in my drinks!

 

[kumber]

I craved sweet with #1 and would literally eat a full sized Sainsbury's chocolate cake to myself within 2 days. Also managed to lose weight

With #2 it was bacon. Lots and lots and LOTS of bacon!

With this one, it's smokey bacon crisp sarnies, although I was inhaling chocolate in the early weeks.

They're all boys so definitely not true for me (although symptoms are different with this one which threw me).

 

[JulyBug]

Glad im not the only one Leigh who craves alcohol!! And Im not a big drinker either but really fancy a southern comfort and coke with lots of ice.. I don't even drink coke!! lol other then that no cravings! Xx

 

[Leighwiltshire]

i just want cocktails! lots and lots of cocktails!! haha i would only ever have half a pint if i went out somewhere with the OH before i was pregnant and i wouldnt drink in the house. i think its the ice factor and the fruitiness! and the fact that we arnt meant to drink lol xx
