Cravings

Well it's been chocolate milkshakes & hot chips for me so far. When I was pg with DS I went off steamed vegies for a while - was still ok with stir fires, curries etc but a bit of a worry when your a vego....Door stops, playdoh, machine ice? man - hope I don't get any of these crazya** cravings

I can't eat anything at the moment besides fatty crap food

For a while I drank at least 2 of those hot chocolate drinks that come in the sachets (can't remember thier names sorry) every day - sometimes 3 or 4 or more. I refused to believe that it was a craving when DH bought it up and it was only in retrospect that I thought that maybe it was a bit OTT and that I have never drunk them since then.

I remembered a strange craving I had when I was pregnant with Harrison... it wasn't for food though... it was for the smell of sunscreen!!! I would get the sunscreen out and have a sniff... I loved it!!!

wrt the ice, playdoh and doorstops, there is a condition called Pica:

Some women want to eat strange things in pregnancy that are not food. This is a condition called pica. Pregnant women with pica may crave substances such as chalk and clay

apparently it can be caused by mineral deficiencies?

Just wondered what others crave while preg.

Mine at the moment is the chocolate scones from Bakers' Delight...mmmm delish

I have had all sorts of weird things I like eating, not cravings in the sense that 'i MUST eat that now' but weird phases of foods I have liked - pineapple, orange mineral water, mt franklin water, finger buns, pikelets, hot chips, weet bix, milk, milk and more milk, green apples... it is bizarre isnt it?? i like really simple foods more that usual, i am usually a bit of a foodie and do lots of cooking, now if it was left to me alone i would live off cereal!

Earlier on was bananas... I couldn't get enough of them!!! Ooh ooh... and pizza shapes... Where's the cravings for healthy food??

**MamaPan** · June 18th, 2007, 04:50 PM

I know!! I cant believe how much JUNK I have wanted since being preg.

**Nikki87** · June 18th, 2007, 06:35 PM

SHAPES yummo. Cant get enough oranges atm and pickled onions. Cant stand Doritos .. yuk - hubby makes nachos and sends me running to the toilets. I cant get past a good cup of tea either.

potato chips and chocolate!

Although, I think I'm always craving chocolate, and using pregnancy as an excuse now!

Tunsa · June 18th, 2007, 07:05 PM

Im craving Kraft Cheddar cheese, milk and lots of chocolate. im a chocoholic tho, but being preg makes it worse, or better?
