Hi KerryAnn!

Glad things are going well!

Never been pregnant myself but i've heard of some wierd cravings! charcoal was a very odd one! My mum craved Advocados with me! mmmm!!

Good luck with the rest of the pregnancy!

Have you had a scan yet? (no idea when they are supposed to be!)

you should be careful hun, you arent even supposed to use vicks on your chest without speaking to a doctor or pharmasist first.
My cravings have been, hula hoops in philadelphia, macdonalds diet coke and ice lollies, but some days i dont crave anything!

Hi Kerry!

Glad to hear all is well with you :o) my most memorable craving with my first pregnancy was crispbread topped with cottage cheese & sardines. With my second it was avocado sandwiches with a tiny amount of marmite spread on it.

I didn't have any with the other two, although Mr Pippa had terrible cravings for pickles & burgers!

hi kerry-ann. thanks for letting us know how you are doing.

Try not to eat the vic if you can help it.

I had no strange cravings but i knew loads of women who craved creosote or petrol fumes. Also one of them ate a handful of pot pourri. I craved beetroot and ice pops mainly and loved McDonalds egg McMuffins and thick shakes.

Did you try any of the ivillage sites that i gave you?

Hi.

When i was pregnant with my 2nd child, i craved for rubber. I even went out and bought a pair of black plimsoles , the sort kids wear in gym and used to chew on them. Im still the same now (not pregnant tho) if i pass a rubber mat in a shop, i have to pick it up and smell it, and get the urge to chew on it.
