Cravings

[pinkangel]

Hi just wondered how many weeks along everyone was when they got their cravings. I haven't had any yet - I'm sick of people asking me whet I'm craving. i feel stupid saying nothing! In fact I'm struggling to find anything I fancy eating even though I'm starving.

Also just wondered when the baby kicks can you tell straight away thats what it is or could it be mistaken for twinges/ligament pains? Not sure what to expect

Thanks xxx

Hi Pinkangel

I've not had a continuous craving... it's just sometimes I want oranges or sometimes I want salt and vinegar crisps. It's totally random for me. I did have one very odd craving though for sage and onion stuffing with a crunchie (never had the craving again thank god!)

As the baby grows you'll def feel the kicks as kicks and prods! In the early days for me it was like a popping feeling inside my belly. Now I can see the bulge come out as well as feel it when she kicks! It's ace.... you'll love it.

I don't know if it's a craving or greed but I've eaten 2 cheeseburgers in the past couple of days and I don't like burgers!! The BK one was LUSH!

I woke up one morning around week 12 and was desperate for pancakes with whipped cream, maple syrup and clementines - I'm thinking that may just have been the munchies too though.

Having always been a foody it's hard for me to tell!

I have phases of really fancying certain foods like strawberry milkshake, ham burgers, chips with vinegar, annd jaffa cakes

At the mo HP sauce and Cornish pasties. Although a few weeks ago it was Fanta lemon I drank gallons of it!

Thanks for your replies.

I really can't wait to feel the baby kick and make it all seem real, I've prob got another month or so to wait tho.

As for cravings am really gutted, I wanna crave something, I'm dead fussy so was kinda hoping to crave somethin I don't normally like! Also don't fancy anything at the min which is quite hard and would really like to fancy something and enjoy my food again!

i havent had cravings for anything weird. Just my taste in what i feel like eating has changed. Like, i felt like tinned grapefruit and oranges a couple of times recently but i wouldnt have said it was a craving.

Ive been feeling my baby move for about 4 weeks now but even more lately . no proper kicks yet, but i dont get it! he will happily enough swim around in there so i can feel him but when it comes to trying to listen to the heartbeat he decides to sleep behind the placenta!

I've been feeling a slight twitching in my stomach for a few days it's a weird feeling could it be my little one or am I just imagining it?

This is my 2nd pg and I have heard you feel it earlier?

I don't think I've really had any cravings but earlier on- about 8 weeks- I wanted salt and vinegar crisps quite randomly but was happy to wait for them! Salt and vinegar crisps or vinegar on chips seems a common theme- I wonder if our babies need something in the vinegar? Can't think what- seems strange to me!
