Cravings

Ok, have another one... Allens Freckles!!! Oooooh love 'em!!

And I have to agree MrsChunk, Chips and gravy for sure.... Mmmm.... Could go some of that right now...

hehe

I haven't really had anything weird yet, just ice. It seems anything i drink needs to have ice in it. And if it doesn't i just dont drink it (the flavour seems so dull and boring, even if its water).

Eggplant!
Who mentioned chips and gravy.... now I want some of that too LOL

In the 1st trimester I craved salads - any type of salad and mcdonalds cheeseburgers. I also like salt and vinegar chips and rice crackers (which i can't stand).
From then on it was dark chocolate, freshly squeezed orange juice every morning or i went bonkers, ice in everything but also just to suck on, icey cold water,.
In the last trimester I craved milk and milo - milk cause i had severe indigestion and milo cause it made the milk nicer!

I went off coke completely, which was weird as i love coke - still have to have a heap of ice with it or i find it too strong!

first trimester all I wanted was green apples and penut butter s/w. Second trimester was hot chips (only oven baked) and last night I really wanted a banana dipped in chocolate.

No major cravings other than loving food that is spicy - the more chilli the better!

On and Macca's cheesies were definately the go in the first tri!

First tri was KFC chips & Jam Donuts mmmmmm donuts! Second tri was apples and lots of them and third tri im on anything with chocolate in it!!

Sausage rolls, meat pies & chips!! mmmmm.... (normally I don't eat greasy food, but they just seem irresistible at the moment).

Gees I wish I had some of those cravingslol! I'm normally a junk food addict, but it all made me sick with Darcy. My only cravings were diet coke and banana yoghurt from the shop near work....

Ok, what's the strangest thing you've been craving so far?

I'm 13 weeks and have been craving lemons & vinegar (not together). I'm really loving sour & bitter stuff at the moment (as well as a little bit of chocolate though, strangely for me, dark chocolate has been another craving...I don't normally eat dark choc).

But yeah, lemons...I just sit and eat slices of them!

i'm obsessed with mangoes!! anything mango flavoured- ice cream, smoothies, icy poles...i love it

In my first PG it was salt and vinegar chips and ginger beer...not really strange at all.

This time around I can't get enough of processed cheese squares - disgusting really but I'm crazy for them! Also went through a patch where I had to have cherry tomatoes, celery and gherkins. Now it's just the processed cheese...

Not that strange, but I craved coffee of all things!! it's usually the one thing that people can't stand the smell of.

I never went off coffee and still enjoying a couple of cups per day (decaf though).

I craved salt and vinegar chips and then tuna and cheese (I would slice cheese and put tuna in a bowl with vinegar and eat them together).

I also craved hot lemon drinks for a while there. My Bubba Girl is a savoury baby though for sure.

Twisties were another favourite and cheezels ;)

Earlier on in my PG i would make a huge platter of fresh fruit and then cover it all in milo *lol* that was my brekkie everyday for a few months, now i just eat boxes and boxes of gourmet choc chip cookies. :)

Anything really hot and spicy - I'm talking HOT HOT. And an average of 4 chocolate Billabongs a day....can't be Paddle Pops, DH is aware of this when I send him on a Billabong run. I suppose a good thing is they're supposed to 97% fat free.

Is there a pig emoticon anywhere...I need one!!

i keep having cravings for hawiaan pizza, and unsure if i can eat it when its delivered, but other than that ts salt and vinegar chips and honeycomb chocolate bikkies!!! yes together!!! and strawberry jam!! the st dalfour stuff!! spensvie but cdamn good!!!!

Hi,

Don't really have cravings. (kinda bummed about that, I was really curious if I would have any and what they would be)

The only interesting thing is that I like the occasional (decaf) coffee, where as I never drank coffee before!

For the rest I love salmiac flavoured licquorice, but I am afraid thats not pregnancy related!

at the beginning of my pregnancy I couldn;t really stand sweet things, now I have to remind myself to stay away more often, but I always did have a sweet tooth!:redface:

I had a thing for lemon softdrink... had a stage where I couldn't drink enough milk, then anything with dairy in it tasted off - milk, icecream yoghurt! Eventually, the main and longest lasting craving was Lido Lemonade. Cheap and nasty but thats all i wanted!

Just adding to our cravings thread....

My cravings....

pine and lime cordial (Cottees - its new), tastes like a pina colada but without the alcohol!

egg on toast/baked beans/cheese slices

olives

sausage mcmuffin from McDonalds

I am normally a chocoholic, but haven't had much choc. cravings - mainly savoury.

Craving steak actually but haven't had it yet.....

In the first Trimester it was Garlic bread and lots of it i ate it for brekky lunch and dinner, Second trimester it has been bananas , from the banana lollies to banana mlikshakes, i have just noticed that i have gone of bananas and have strated to crave sweet things especially chocolate ... hehe walked to the shop at 11pm last night for a crunchie :)

Ham and strawberries - TOGETHER! Also, mustard, banana and cheese sandwiches...

:redface:

Had a craving for Mcdonalds cheeseburgers after work, I bought two.

I used to crave sand!! Dp use to boil it up, dry it out, and i use to munch on single grains... the thought of it now makes me squirm, but back then i couldnt even sleep until i had my fix...

What did you crave??

hi katnap, this wasn't mine, but a friend craved vicks vapourub, funnily enough she used to joke that her son has never been sick

Oh my goodness... The worst thing I crave is Iced Coffe.... I should give sand a go.. LOL

Ice, ice and more ice! Cant' get enough. It goes about 4 days post birth for me though

Wow sand. Well the only thing i am craving at the moment in Heinz spag in a tin on toast yummo. DP makes me it for breakfast in bed on Saturdays. hahahaha i am already thinking about tomorrow morning. Will let you know if i crave anything else :)

Ice for me too and lot's of lemons. Sand is a weird one....

Just merging with our cravings thread.

tattoos (last pregnancy): I survived 5 hours under the gun before succumbing to good sense and saying stop. I then had an unfinished piece on my back for whole year!

Dreadlocks (this pregnancy): every time i dread my hair i realise too late those little itches were headlice. 3 times it's happened now, and they're so hard to treat when you cant comb yr hair.

apple walnut scrolls - I didn't know i was pregnant but i had to have one every day for 3 months. then it stopped. i also went right off coffee- from at least 3 real coffees a day (non-negotiable) to crossing the street to avoid having to smell it at a cafe. at 6 months pg at last i can drink it again: in soy thick shake format (i get em to use berry sorbet as i'm vegan).

With DS1 toasted cheese sandwhich's at 3am(Dh was impressed)

With DS2 salt and vinegar chips hate them normally

This time Orange juice, and vegemite.

Its fun to talk about and read others cause mine does not seem to weired then lol

Nikki

Hot chips and red rooster chicken rolls for DS
For DD x 2, This is going to sound quier , oh well, snorting lavender or eucalyptus oil on a hanky. I would take a hanky with me everywhere.LOL

I totally understand the lavender thing RH. I loved it too, but only when pregnant, not overly keen on it otherwise.

My food cravings were: (the same with all 3 pregnancies) Tomato on toast/toasted cheese and tomato sandwiches, lettuce, watermelon (don't like it that much otherwise), icecream.

One other thing I get an unnatural pleasure from when preggers is cleaning my teeth with Cedel spearmint toothpaste. OMG especially doing my tongue! :lol:

Peaches.
Peaches have been my cravings since i was six and a half weeks pregnant. Which was in July... it's now mid-october, and they might be coming in soon. I saw nectarines today and jumped up and down in the supermarket squealing to my best friend... I can't wait...
And no, canned peaches just don't do the trick... i won;t be satisfied until i get that first bite of really ripe, fresh peaches... mmmm tasty =)

On another note, i was totally over take-away food and early on when i had the bad morning sickness the only thing i could physically eat without fail was pizza. And now, it's cheeseburgers. And i don;t even like the damn things, they're just there and easy and at the time just so damn taaaaaastyyyyy....

ETA: I had to add strawberry milk. Early in my pg i constantly craved s/b flavoured things. Icecream, milk, shakes, wafers, tim tams... And i never ever prefer strawberry over chocolate! Im back onto chocolate milk etc, but the most thankful thing of food aversions during my pg has been its fantastic ability for me to now dislike chocolate! And i used to be a chocoholic.

With my son... chocolate thickshakes... EVERYDAY for 6 months lol. With my DD it was chocolate milk and McDonalds hotcakes. I remember once staying up all night just so I could get to Macca's at 6 am for the hotcakes lol. This one is totally different. Hot chips and gravy but only from one certain store (the others dont get the gravy right lol) and Nutra Grain... in the middle of the night. I cant handle it in the morning lol.

With my second pregnancy I craved lasagne from 4weeks until I m/c at 5.5 weeks. I've only just found out that I am pregnant again and for 3 days straight prior to getting my BFP I could not stop myself from having a steak and cheese pie for lunch.
