Too early for cravings?

[Lou1103]

I'm 6+5 and have become obsessed with mashed potato!!
Is it in my head?? X

No your body craves what it needs most, potatoes either your needing filled to the brim or the energy from carbs, meat is craving the iron etc. Pay attention to your cravings.

I craved alot of fruit in the early weeks. That soon changed.

That makes a lot of sense plus i do feel hungry a lot the past few days xxx

I agree, your body tells you what it needs. I need a kfc fillet burger, who's going? :-D haha

Seriously though, just go with it within reason. I had three bananas a day last pregnancy.

Did someone mention kfc!!

I didn't realise cravings can start that early xx

Neither did i just thought it was in my head! I'm pleased I'm not being weak for eating them though lol. Mash takes ages to cook so I've been having it every other day lol hopefully it eases or I'll put on loads of weight xx

Canny whack some nice buttery mash with beans mixed in!

I had this the other day and wolfed it down. Before OH even got to his.

You're more likely to crave in the first twelve weeks because your hormones are rising so much they just get stronger and weirder as the pregnancy progresses
