Oh yeah, ice was one of mine for DD towards the end when it got hot (she was a xmas baby)
Tamara - I call this bub Bubble cause the first time I saw him/her that's what s/he looked like! I was only 5.5 weeks afterall, not much to see!
ROFL Tamara! Doritos and ice cream sounds delicious!
My nausea has kicked in a little today so I went to the cupboard this morning to get a plain milk coffee biscuit out and as I did, I saw a bottle of sweet chilli sauce and thought the biscuit would be nice dipped in the sweet chilli sauce. I didnt actually do it as I was feeling sick but I thought it was strange that I would even think about it.
I'm only 5 weeks and 4 days .......
LOL - its funny how things seem appealing and other seem off!
Can't stand red meat - but can stand vegies and lots of savoury.
My diet has totally changed this pregnancy and its really quite depressing!! I used to love salads and lots of veges and now I just dont want to eat either!! Id prefer to have maccas or something really fatty :( craving salty chips, hot and packet chips. Weird I tell ya! I have totally gone of meat, fish and chicken. Which doesnt leave me much to eat. Ive been trying to be good and eat canned soup. I also cant get enough bread. Im gonna be huge by the time I have this baby!
Mummabear, you sound exactly like me! It's terrible!
Really really embarassed to be writing this, but I just had an over whelming urge to eat some of Shelby's playdoh! :redface:
hehe too funny about the doritos & icecream combo and playdoh
Tam... that was my EXACT craving when I was pregnant with Harrison... and, I HATE corn chips!!!
With Harrison... I craved food that I usually hate... ribs, pork crackling etc
Mummabear - you are the same as me, in the 1st tri all i wanted was toast. and ihave craved salt like nothing else... anything salty is good. more junky food than normal too. the good news is i havent put on a lot of weight yet (about 2kgs so far) - i have been trying tomake myself be more healthy, but veges etc really make me feel ick. fruit is good - esp tinned peaches, pineapple of any sort and strawberries. bizarre what our bodies do.
i can't really say i have craved anything.. but i'm with you guys on the salty thing.. especially maccas fries..
the only thing is that I used to LOVE garlic, like i'm talking pasta with about 3 to 4 cloves of garlic.. now if i even think about it.. i dry reach or even vomit..
My sister says that once you go off something while pregnant.. you won't want to eat it again.. is this true?? I hope not cause i love chocolate too but haven't been able to eat any.
OH GOOD GOD NOOO! I hope not :lol::
I have gone completely off red meat. Including Spag Bolognes. Which totally sucks. I can't even stand the smell of it now. I used to love garlic and can't stand the smell. As well as Parmesan cheese.
LOL @ the Playdoh.
I had a friend that craved door stops... I don't know :p
i havne't had any real weird cravings but early on before i knew i was pregnant i had the biggest urge for a pepporoni pizza with extra cheese - i'd never had a specific cravings like that before where i knew exaclty what i wanted so badly so i knew something was going on.
All i really want to eat is hot chips. I've gone through stages where i haven't wanted meat just veggies now i can't stomach veggies just meat - but carbs are my biggest thing i can eat anything that is considered a carb especailly potatos!
OH isnt it all horrible! haha When we are SUPPOSE to be eating healthy, all we want is junk food with extra salt! lol. I opened up a pregnancy cook book today and just went BLAH at the whole lot. Where are the fries and doritos!??
I must confess I am making a very healthy fried rice (no oil) for dinner. I figured this would be the easiest way to get some fibre and veges in because they are in small peices! lol. Bring on the soy sauce!
I too just want to eat salty, fatty food - so I've been trying to choose the healthier of unhealthy options - eg. I've been making oven fries (rather than getting KFC chips); I've been eating ryvita & vegemite (to satisfy the salt craving, while still getting some fibre); I've been eating toobs or rice crackers (yeah, I know, still full of flavourings & preservatives - but not as fatty as other brands of chips); I buy low-fat sausages (because sausages & chips have been the two major cravings so far!!).
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!!!
i am really bad with my cravings, i have been craving cheeseburgers, frozen coke, cinnamon donuts, wizz fizz and ovultenies... i think its gonna be a junk loving baby hehe
wrt the ice, playdoh and doorstops, there is a condition called Pica:
apparently it can be caused by mineral deficiencies?:
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
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!
mine was lemon slice form gloria jeans! they knew me so much they would say 'OH YOUR BACK AGAIN' :cryinglaugh:so i would drive to other gloria jeans shops not far away and mix it up that way!!:D
me 28 dad 25
DD:babygirl:november 06
Give me chocolate milkshakes and Doritos with home made french onion dip... Poor DH had to go to the shops at 9:45pm last night for some sour cream and chippies... :D Earlier on was bananas... I couldn't get enough of them!!! Ooh ooh... and pizza shapes... Where's the cravings for healthy food??
I know!! I cant believe how much JUNK I have wanted since being preg.
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!
Im craving Kraft Cheddar cheese, milk and lots of chocolate. im a chocoholic tho, but being preg makes it worse, or better? :lol:
With DD it was Lettuce, passionfruit, mangoies, strawberries and smarties!!
This time its been custard tarts, choc eclairs, pineapple and passionfruit!
Burger RAings, Toobs and Doner Kebabs with chilli sauce!
Just going to combine this with our cravings thread....
I hardly never eat macca's, but lately its all i can think about!!! Mmm-cheeseburgers :D
AND meat pies, but the nice ones from pie face!
At the moment Icecream, I just love the sweetness and cold texture of it.
and dark chocolate which I wouldnt normally touch.
Mine was chicken and strawberry milk with DD Pizza shapes with DS.
Ellie
Mixed berry smoothies from Wendys
chocolate cheesecake
Lindt dark chocolate with peppermint or orange flavour
Gee the baby must be having a wild time!
Schweppes Rasberry soft drink and it has to be that brand!!
mine has to be peanut butter on white bread for during the day, and anything potato for dinner. I can't stomach anything else, but can eat potatos without any problems. Oh, and glasses of milk.
Ok so far mine have been:
Lettuce dipped in italian dressing
Lots of Chocolate
Frothy milk - like on the top of cappucinos (lucky we have a machine)
Donuts with Pink Icing
Hot chips with gravy
Tuna on crackers with lots of ground black pepper (must be ground not cracked)
Strawberry flavoured yoghurt
Chicken Treat Fillet Deluxe Burgers
Now looking at this list i think i am stupid for wondering where all this weight gain is coming from!!
