I thought cravings were a thing of the past?

Yet i'm eating raw lemons!

I've been having them in water for the last few weeks and that was sort of satisfying my want for lemon, anyway it stepped up a gear last night and i was cutting a lemon in to slices and then sucking all the juice out lol.
This will NOT be good for heartburn!!

Anyone else still craving?

 

[buttonbear]

Yes! Milk, shreddies(have like 6 bowls a day) and also PICA is my pregnancy thing too I just want to chew on sponges and tissue!!

I want to chew on sponges too!!!

 

[MrsS143]

What do they do for pica?

 

[buttonbear]

Haha its funny huh!! Its usually when you lack iron I think, ice is another i just want to crunch it all the time lol

I went shopping a couple of days ago and came back with two baby desserts - Apple and pear pure and a banana custard! How weird was that? So no, cravings still happen to me.

Apparently your body craves nutrients it's missing. Usually I don't like milk at all, and I mean, it makes me sick. But for the last few weeks I've actually been having a drink of milk, and eating quite a lot of cheese. So I'm assuming I need extra calcium. Xx

 

[MrsS143]

What can a sponge do for you though lol?

 

[buttonbear]

Haha nothing and you shouldn't eat it! Lol It means you should up your iron(is what they assume)

Last pregnancy I wanted ice so bad, wanted to just crunch it constantly.

I haven't had anything this time round (yet) although I did eat a nougat (pink and white sweet thing) yesterday and I hate nuts. Was gagging on it but ate it.

My latest craving is cheese and pineapple together. Can't get enough of it. But I've craved lots of random things that I haven't eaten in years. My main one this pregnancy was the gherkins and mustard on a McDonald's double cheese burger as that lasted for weeks and cost my oh a small fortune lol. But other than that crisps cheese fruit and chocolate lol. Also have to have a glass of milk before bed every night. I'm eating like a pig at the moment! Xxx

Jessie this may be related to your low iron. Your body is craving extra vitamin C as that's is what is needed to absorb the iron lots of fruit kale and juice fir you!

Spin sugar I was just thinking the same! Pica, or wanting to eat random things like coal and sponges is caused by low iron.
