Food!!!

[Pink+blue]

Hi ladies

I am 9 weeks pregnant with my 1st pg & am finding the food thing really wierd lol. I dont really have cravings but most of the things i used to enjoy eating i cant eat now coz it makes me feel sick so sad any one else have weird food things?

Yup BTDT! You might find you will start eating foods you once turned your nose up at too!!

Or have cravings for something in paticular.

With Chelsea i craved green apples, lettuce, mangoes, passionfruit and strawberries.

This time it was custard tarts, snickers, strawberries and carrot sticks with mayo..

Nothing very out there though like some people!

I never really had crvings for specific foods.. but some days I just had to eat something very salty or I had to eat a food of a certain texture.

but I cant say I ever had those out there cravings some have.. no sardines and nutella on toast or aanything like that!

Yep, things you like are offputting and things you don't like suddenly seem good...

I always craved KFC last time. All I ever wanted was a Colonel burger and chips and I hate HATE HATE KFC usually. I won't go near it if I can help it at all. Yet when I was pregnant, it was the yummiest thing out.

I am also 9 and a bit weeks in, and can't stand the thought of vegetables in general... especially slimy ones! blergh.

I'm loving salty stuff, which is weird, I'm normally such a sweet tooth!

But the oddest thing for me is that a lot of the time I don't feel hungry at all (just sick), and I almost have to force myself to eat something so the nausea will go away!

Bring on the second trimester!

All i have been craving at the moment is Heinz tin spagetti on toast or in a jaffa. Soooooooo yummy. It's all i want day and night. O and a nice roast meal that too yummo.
