Tell me about your cravings!

[Rosie's Mummy]

Im really interested to know what sort of cravings everyone is having or has had. Does 'pica' really exist? Has anyone been shovelling coal down their neck?

Mine have been varied this time:

Heinz Tomato Soup
Clementines

Beetroot
Roast Beef Monster Munch (oh God yes)
Porridge with Golden Syrup and milk

I can't wait to read what all you ladies have been scoffing!

ive had non so far. just really fancy things more.

 

[Mervs Mum]

fresh orange juice - gallons of the stuff in the early weeks!
Peanut butter - only really once but I sent OH to the 24hr Tesco to get it NOW!
Sour fizzy sweets - this started this morning
full fat coke - ice cold and it HAS to be out of a can...I like the metallic taste
After Eight mints - I ate TONNES over Christmas!
Mini Eggs and Creme Eggs - another 'seasonal' one

I get a mega sweet tooth when I'm pregnant and it continues while I'm BFing!

 

[bearsmummy]

Coke either from mcdonalds or out of a can! And none of this diet rubbish. I drink about 3 cans aday which i know is bad but i can't help it, i get really aggitated if i don't have any lol!! Chocolate...any kind except dark. Chicken fajitas constantly but i very rarely have them cos no one else in my house likes them (gutted) I had one for pickled onions with plain crisps but that made me sick after craving it for days so that one went quickly lol. Mcdonalds breakfast!!!!! Oh my god i am addicted!! I have a bacon roll and porridge pretty much everyday! haha I think thats most of them x

I didn't think I had any cravings when I was pregnant but now that I'm not I can see what I craved

Purple Sukie
Sausages (Sausage rolls, sausages sandwiches, sausage and chips, heinz spaghetti and sausages.. Anything )
Sainsburys own cheese and chive dip.. This was eaten with almost everything (including the sausage rolls etc etc )

I had lots of "I really want that nowww" But it was never anything particular it was just whatever clicked into my head.. Once I got something in my head I wanted it so much

 

[Simoneh00]

With Eva :
roasted cheese with millions of pepper
Pickled onion crisps with tuna mayo in a bowl to dip them in (yuck yuck yuck now lol)
And at the end endless bowls of ice cubes, ice lollies if i was out, ice ice ice

This time:
Junk food!!!
Indian, chinese, mcdonalds, etc
Plus full fat coke which i usually detest, I'm a pepsi max girl but can't stomach it.

Now that I've mentioned the ice cube thing from last time, I wanna go make a tray....

 

[Toonlass]

With my first it was celery with laughing cow cheese spread and ice pops, hundredas of them!

2nd was xtra strong mints and chips and gravy with loads of salt on (i never salt my food)

This time, pot noodles, especially chicken and mushroom and diet coke, but it has to be proper coke, no cheap shite. Partial to cake and custard too but i think thats more to do with the fact i'm a greedy mare rather than pregnant xx

 

[Simoneh00]

It's great though cause you can just tell people it's your pregnancy craving and they don't look at you like you're a greedy troll eating two cream cakes haha

I used to use the "but I'm craving it" thing on my ex all the time... Maybe that's why I'm single ha ha ha

 

[Mamafy]

It varied from Ambrosia rice, to sweetcorn from the tin lol to Big macs, Cheese, Oranges, Icecream, oh and last time it was cereal So much so that my Iron level went to 14. something

With William I went almost vegetarian, I ate more veggies than any other time in my life - mainly because meat made me feel sick. I also craved all the cheeses I wasn't supposed to have. No idea why...I never even liked stilton, brie or camembert until I fell pregnant.

With Sophie it was all red meat, I kept sending my dad to the butcher for steaks.

With Ellie I got a real sweet tooth and kept buying haribos. I also decided that spinage was the best ever pizza topping.

I find it really strange that I eat things now that I absolutely hated before pregnancy. I know that our taste buds are supposed to change as we get older but my pregnancies were a major factor in mine.

 

[Mamafy]

Now you say that Nancy I nearly went vegetarian with my first daughter, I only could eat chicken and only if it was very very well cooked

 

[Rosie's Mummy]

Its really funny to read! I also ate a lot of cereal in the early weeks, last time with Rosie I craved white bread toast with butter too

 

[MrsR]

Noticed alot of coke cravings and it makes me feel better because I thought I was just freaky. It has to be absolutely freezing cold and in a can!

Went through a faze of eating ham, crisp and salad cream sandwiches until went off salad cream! At min am craving fruit and fruit juice! Especially mango!

Have found the hardest thing is living something one day and then having a severe aversion to it the next! Makes food shopping an absolute nightmare!

 

[laura dec 1988]

at the beginning it was sour things....sweets and lemons
then it went to mash with loads of butter and milk

now its cereal....got to be cheap cereal though, like tesco's own brand that costs about 87p haha.
my mum bought me some kellogs the other day and it tasted so different lol


xx

 

[*Hope*]

Sour fizzy sweets for me too (from the pick n mix at the cinema). and maltesers

coke hell yeah!

weetabix with so much sugar, banana sandwiches and yoghurts.

CHINESE!!!!

 

[JJ Mum]

I eat really healthly normally and I have been craving junk food, anything thats fatty, takeaway proper chips with mayonaise!! (I don't even by that for xmas as it's so fatty!) Cheese and crackers and cereal too! wonder if there is any link to what we crave and the sex of the baby?

Right now I really want a nasty macdonalds!!

 

[Rosie's Mummy]

I feel like some coke now! I bought some cream soda and its just the job too; chocolate seems to be weaning now and I ate lots of fruit today too plus some raw celery

 

[Simoneh00]
