cravings

[ethanryan]

hi i just wondered if any of you have had any strange cravings while pregnant?

with my first son it was cheese spread and pickled onions on crackers

with my second it was orange segments and cheese watsits on a sandwich

Oooh - nothing weird like that! With my first son it was grapes and with my second son pickled onions. Couldn't stand chinese food at all though, even the smell made me feel sick. I normally love it.

Eeewww ethanryan, The first one sounds nice but the second, yukky. I haven't had any strange cravings, but I do eat Ready Brek by the bucket full (with milk obviously).

I'm 20 weeks pregnant with my second child and haven't had any cravings with this one...I'm pleased because with my first child I had cravings for sponges...yes bath sponges!! They had to have absorbed warm water and I would just bite them and chew them (I didn't actually eat them). So very weird but apparently its not that rare! I know one person who has also had this craving and have read about it on the internet since.

No weird cravings for me apart from everything within sight! LOL

During the early stages I just wanted to drink gallons of cold lemonade or fizzy orange and the thought of salad made me want to puke, I think this is probably because I needed the sugar for energy or something though. It was a bit strange for me though as I never drink fizzy drinks. Another thing, although I wouldn't say I crave it particularly because I rarely eat them, but when I do treat myself to a packet of crisps they have to be salt and vinegar :-)

cravings lol. with my first it was candy floss and beens as i lived i the midlands and it was autumn i used to make my partner drive to rhyl and back to satisfy my needs lol. not really a weird craving but a costly one

With my first, I never had any cravings at all. I dont think I really have had cravings with this one either. I have just gone through fads but would never really crave a certain food. My biggest fad was probably mashed potato but that was back in the early stages. Now I just eat whatever I have in.
Actually, there have been times when Ive really wanted a macdonalds burger or a bacon roll but never gave in. Im vegetarian lol Luckily that has all passed too now.
