Strange eating habits

[Vickyleigh]

Over the past couple of weeks I have been eating more and more, one minute im full up and the next im starving. Now I can eat more then most people I know which is unusual for me as I have never had a good appetite. I know this is perfectly normal to eat loads during pregnancy, I have completly gone off chocolate sometimes I can't even look at a choccy bar but over the last week I have to get up in the early hours of the morning to eat some chocolate and if I try to ignore it then I lay awake for ages until I eat some. It happens every single night and I just wondered if anyone knew why I can't stand the thought of chocolate during the day but have to get out of bed in the early hours to eat some and does anyone else have this problem? It's getting to be a pain in the bum when it comes to sleeping, if im not getting up to go for a wee then im getting up to eat chocolate!

When I first became pregnant I could eat next to nothing, I'd feel stuffed even after a single slice of toast, big meals would make me sick, even the thought of them made me sick! Gradually things settled down but I'm still eating little and often rather than three meals a day type thing. I also started just last week wanting a jam sandwich around 9/10pm at night, really not like me, I'd usually eat my dinner around 6pm and that would be it till breakfast, now I'm picking around 10pm (not good for me!) and then starving by morning that it's almost a race do I need a pee more desperatly than breakfast or breakfast more desperatly than a pee! It's driving me nuts but I have to say it has settled down a lot since I first became pregnant - that much I can be thankful for I suppose!!

I usually adore Ben & Jerry's Cherry Garcia but the thought of that makes me heave at the moment! I have gone off tea too and I love that!

I just want to eat crusty bread with philedelphia or a tin of rice pudding at the moment.

I'm craving fuit and savoury things and salad. I've totally gone off tea, chocolate, and any dessert-type things.

I now LOVE crisps, just had some walkers chicken flavour and it was like heaven!!

Apparently, savoury cravings indicate you're having a boy and sweet, a girl. I do actually think I'm having a boy becasue of the timing of conception.

Does anyone else think their cravings are an indication of the sex of their baby?

Oh I'm into rice pudding at the moment too, how strange!!

I also love philly cream cheese but didn't think I was allowed it during preg? Cream cheese is on the NO EATING list?? I love it on a bagel with sliced tomato....ummmmmm now I want one!!

I do and I think I'm having a boy, infact I'm convinced I will have a boy. I've gone off sweet stuff and eats loads of savoury stuff.

Yes I certinally do. Enjoying savoury, salty snacks/foods just now. Loving fruit also. I think I'm having a boy and am utterly delighted at the though but mind you I say that knowing I'd be utterly delighed with a girl too!!

In a way I was dreading what I would see on the screen when I had the scan because we've got twins in the family but fortunatly there's only one baby.
