Milk Craving

[Merfairy]

Hi all,

Apart from not sleeping at all at the moment, things seem okay although mentally I am feeling exhausted and physically slow...and baby is breech still...

Over the last 2 weeks I have had serious cravings for milk and am drinking it by the gallon, is this anything I need to be concerned about you reckon. I keep thinking Calcium deficiency, but is that me or the baby... any suggestions?

Hugs

I can't answer your question, but I have been drinking SO much milk also! We buy one of the huge 6-pint bottles and it's gone in a couple of days. I'm not sure if its anything to worry about but would be interested to know if it is. Sorry not much help, just in the same position! x

Perhaps its just something you have a fad on - I have got a thing for cornflakes with ice cold milk and sugar at the moment. They're lush - i can't get enough of them. And curries. That is the other thing I could eat all day. Hot curries with lime pickle...mmmmm. I made an enormous pan of curry last night (took me nearly 3 hours) I might have to go and tuck in!
I'm sure a milk craving is no harm at all, its good for you!

I love milk also, don't know why but I could just drink it all day. oh and it is great for heartburn so I'm not complaining.

Im also drinking tonnes of milk at the moment think its coz my heartburn is killing me so its very soothing it just tastes sooooo good it can only be a good thing tho getting lots of calcium I reckon x

I went thru 6 pints a day when I reached 3rd tri, which is weird cos I can't stand the stuff and it usually gives me a dodgy tumny! But I put it down to a need for calcium too! Babies are a proper drain on it when you're preg!

I cannot stand milk normally - I drink black coffee and never have cereal! It does not sit right on my tummy and makes me sick.

Yet although this pregnancy I have eaten at least 1 bowl of cereal a day and will happily drink a glass of milk lol my OH did not believe in cravings until he saw me actually drink milk!

I have just brought the 1% fat milk - has the same calcium in it as all the rest as I am obviously needing the calcium! Xx
