I thought it would be fun to start a thread on the cravings you have had during your pregnancy/ies and what gender your baby was?
I am well aware that there is no colrrelation between gender and cravings I just thought it would be a fun thread to open up to all the weird and wonderful things we HAVE to have and things we go to extremes to avoid.
Also what foods did you go off completely?
I was nutty for Banana smoothies, Cinnamon donuts and KFC through DD2's pregnancy (I am sure some of my old PB's would be able to add to that), and I went off red meat. I couldn't stand the smell of any meat cooking and lived on hot dogs and those processed ckicken kievs LOL
DD1 I think it was the same.
This pregnancy so far I cannot get enough bacon and eggs or garlic prawns OMG I could eat garlic prawns all day every day providing its in a rich creamy sauce.
have gone off lamb unless its cooked with lemon and rosemary, and have gone off sausages.
1st pregnancy I craved ribena, anything with blackcurrent in it really and alchohol, which I didn't drink. I also loved Maccas chocolate shakes! Maccas is an hour away from us, I used to make DH drive me there for one. Baby was a boy
2nd pregnancy was pretty much the same, I coudln't get enough Maccas Diet Coke. Baby was a girl
3rd pregnancy I craved cake and wine. I totally went off red meat and still don't enjoy it to this day. Baby was a girl
Cadbury bubbly block of chocolate, strawberry milk, mildura tropical juice, oranges, apples and nachos. And i had a girl Well those are what i craved when i COULD eat lol
With Moo I think I just craved food in general if I saw someone eating something - that's it! Had to have it! But I did start drinking orange juice when I've ALWAYS hated the stuff. I also had to have two ham, cheese & tomato sandwiches every day, which is also odd as I've never eaten tomato before in my life! I still enjoyed at least one coffee everyday too. I drank sooo much water & had a thing for fruit too.
This time around I have completely gone off coffee, ran out weeks ago & haven't even bought anymore. I don't know if it's a craving but I've been needing potato type foods like potato gems, hash browns, mashed spuds, baked potatos etc. I'm still getting nausea & as soon as I've got some fries in my hand it goes away A lot of foods just turn me off which makes things difficult. I'll make a soup then once it's dished up I can't eat it. I'm finding it hard to drink water this time too, I have to have cordial in it, just can't stand it. Yet to see what this one is but the cravings are very different!
everything made me feel awful for ages, and I had ms and heartburn for about 32 weeks!
but oranges were top on my list for a long time (would eat up to 8 a day!) and chocolate milk too (despite having been allergic to full cream milk my entire life...)
other than that ... lots of banana smoothies ... and steamed potatoes and green beans with butter.
DS - cheeseburgers, chocolate Quik, fresh fruit and salad... went off coffee and garlic
This pregnancy has been plain burger (breadroll, meat, sauce), KFC twisters, cheese naan, lollies (strawberry and creams or redskins)... haven't really gone off anything yet
DD if I remember rightly was curried egg sandwiches with grated carrot and as much milk as I could get my hands on. I don't really remember going off anything in particular, except food entirely in the first trimester as I paid homage to the porcelain goddess at pretty well everything before settling in to throwing up a few times a week for the rest of the pregnancy.
This time - cravings include milk, maccas chips, cheese, olives, green veggies, vegemite and I'm very susceptible to smell - if I smell something tasty I *Have* to have it. Aversions so far are excessive garlic (especially if it's stale stinky garlic breath), cigarettes (not that I ever liked them, but now they make me want to barf), soft drinks, coffee, blackcurrant lollies and ginger. Having a boy this time
With DD I went completely off red meat, and even the thought of tomato sauce made me sick! I lived on cereals and nashi pears, yoghurt, crumpets (with vegemite, nutella or peanut butter) and cheesy packet pastas. I can't even tell you how many boxes of just right and tubs if vanilla yoghurt I went thru, it's a bit scary lol
DS- watermelon, the hottest vindaloo or curry i could get and crusty baguettes with butter, ham and cheese- not really turned off anything
DD- almond magnums and ice cold water
this bubba- so nauseaus- so off meat and almost everything rich, desperate for citrus- eaten probably 100kg of mandarines already. Callipos - lemon of course, home made lemonade and acidic things like tomato based sauces. Curry is a winner again and the old hame and cheese.....
Just for a bit of fun,
